ORTHOGNATHIC SURGICAL PROCEDURES

This study looked at whether showing patients a short animation or a 3D model of a skull before jaw surgery could reduce their anxiety. Thirty adults scheduled for surgery were split into three groups: one got only standard talk, another added a video, and the third added a 3D mo…

This study looked at how well custom-made implants work for people having jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery). 56 patients received personalized guides and plates during their operation. The main goal was to see if these implants improved patients' quality of life after surgery.

This study tested a less invasive way to perform jaw surgery (Le Fort I) in 47 adults aged 18-40. The goal was to see if the new method reduces bleeding, swelling, pain, and hospital stay compared to the standard approach. Results suggest the minimally invasive technique may impr…

This study looked at whether the unique ridges on the roof of the mouth (palatal rugae) can still be used to identify a person after they have had dental expansion treatment. Researchers used 3D scans from 45 people before and after treatment to see if the ridges remained distinc…

This study looked at how well Dolphin 3D software can predict changes in a person's face after jaw surgery. Sixteen patients with jaw deformities had surgery, and researchers compared the computer's predictions to what actually happened. The goal was to see if the software is acc…

This study looked back at medical records of 50 people who had jaw reconstruction surgery using Stryker's custom-made plates. The goal was to confirm the plates are safe and work well by checking how often unplanned follow-up surgeries were needed. The study found that the plates…

This study looked at 24 adults with a specific jaw misalignment (Class III) who needed double-jaw surgery. Researchers compared two different surgical timings—surgery first versus surgery early—to see how they affected tooth root length and volume, as well as facial soft tissues.…
