Introduction: The ectopic ciliated cyst is a rare non-odontogenic cyst which occurs as a delayed complication after maxillary sinus radical surgery; this lesion emerges due to the destruction of the sinus mucosa during the surgery and entrapment of the respiratoryepitheliumin the region. This lesion has been observed in very rare cases following genioplasty and bimaxillary orthognathic surgery....

treatment planning poses difficulties in edentulous patients for orthognathic surgery prediction and fixation.treatment of severe class iii malocclusion frequently requires orthognathic surgical procedures. for such patients, orthognathic surgery would be the only option before prosthetic rehabilitation.this clinical report describes step-by-step fabrication of a surgical splint for an edentulo...

The success of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery depends not only on the surgical techniques, but also upon an accurate surgical planning. However, surgical planning for CMF surgery is challenging due to the absence of a patient-specific reference model. In this paper, we present a method to automatically estimate an anatomically correct reference shape of jaws for the patient requiring orthogn...

The vertical facial proportions resulting from bimaxillary surgery (maxillary advancement and mandibular setback) and mandibular setback alone were evaluated. The measurements were evaluated on the preoperative and postoperative cephalometric radiographs of 20 skeletal Class III patients. The results showed that sagittal correction of the jaws caused no change in the vertical relationship of th...

BACKGROUND To report the surgical experience on the treatment of ameloblastoma of the jaws in children. METHOD This is a prospective study of six children below the age of 16 years with ameloblastoma of the jaws seen at the Maxillofacial Unit of the Department of Surgery, Korle Bu Teaching Hospital over a fifteen year period. The clinico-pathological data and management of these children is p...
