The aim of these clinical reports was to describe two different approaches to prosthetic rehabilitation after facial disfigurement because of a total rhinectomy. A man with a total rhinectomy was scheduled for craniofacial implants in the nasal residual defect. Three oral implants were used instead of craniofacial ones. A conventional framework was designed to connect the prosthesis to the impl...

Supernumerary teeth are extra teeth. When they are present in the nasal cavity, they are called nasal tooth. Supernumerary teeth are reported from mandible, orbit, palate, maxillary antrum and nasal cavity. Eruption of teeth into these sites are rare and easily overlooked(l). Although, they are asymptomatic, they may prevent and delay the eruption of normal teeth and lead to the malalignment in...

OBJECTIVE To clarify the anatomical correlations of the sphenoid sinus with surrounding structures in the normal Korean population, and to identify surgical landmarks for safe sellar floor dissection in the anterior skull base by endoscopy and microscopy. METHODS We reviewed the 196 brain magnetic resonance imaging findings showing a normal appearance, and measured the distances between anato...

OBJECTIVE To investigate how nasally applied substances distribute in the nose depending on the form of application. DESIGN Observer-blinded study. SETTING University hospital research unit. PARTICIPANTS Fifteen healthy volunteers aged 22 to 32 years. INTERVENTIONS Forms of application included (1) nasal drops applied with a pipette, (2) nasal spray, and (3) a system producing squirts. ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether ion transport or barrier function across the nasal epithelium are altered in asthmatics. DESIGN In this pilot study, the nasal potential difference (PD) was measured using the technique established by Knowles and colleagues. A flowing agar bridge made electrical contact with the surface of the nasal epithelium along the floor of the nose. This bridge was r...
