Effect of Orthognathic Surgery on the Posterior Airway Space in Patients Affected by Skeletal Class III Malocclusion

Dentofacial deformity refers to deviations from normal facial proportions and dental relationships that are severe enough to be handicapping. These anomalies involve many aspects of patient's life and are sometimes also associated with a reduction of pharyngeal air space. Through orthognathic surgery it is possible to treat dentofacial deformities: this kind of surgery has several effects on skeletal structures and it has changes, as it is demonstrated by many studies, also on the upper airways. The orthognathic surgeries commonly used to correct this deformity are the mandibular setback and the maxillary advancement procedures. This study aims to evaluate the effects of maxillary and mandibular surgery on pharyngeal airway dimensions in skeletal class III malocclusions

Maxillary Sinus Augmentation with Autologous and Heterologous Bone Graft: A Clinical and Radiographic Report of Immediate and Delayed Implant Placement

The aim of this study was to evaluate cumulative survival rate of implants placed on augmented maxillary sinus using a mixture of autologous bone harvested from the maxillary tuberosity and bovine-derived HA and to assess the height of the grafted material through radiographic evaluation
