Mandibular fractures, particularly condylar process are common in maxillofacial surgery and require effective treatment methods that minimize complications while ensuring functional esthetic recovery. This paper presents two cases of mandibular fractures treated using a transoral endoscopically assisted technique (EATA), thus marking the first documented application this approach Croatia. The aim was to evaluate efficacy minimally invasive method compared traditional extraoral approaches,...
Melatonin's role in circadian rhythm is well documented, as are its' anti-oxidant, oncostatic and anti-inflammatory properties. Poor sleep quality has been associated a potential risk factor for several malignancies, including head neck cancers. The purpose of this study to determine salivary melatonin (MLT) levels oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients, compare the MLT with those healthy individuals serum OSCC patients. Furthermore, aim investigate relationship between Unstimulated...
Significant advances in reconstructive head and neck surgery with free microvascular flaps have had a positive impact on esthetic outcomes quality of life. However, complications still occur some patients. This study investigated the influence Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte, Platelet Score (HALP score), an immunonutritive marker, flap success. The retrospective analysis included 194 patients who underwent reconstruction defects flaps. HALP score correlated strongly overall complications,...
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning algorithm capable diagnosing radicular cysts in the lower jaw on panoramic radiographs. Materials and Methods: In study, we conducted comprehensive analysis 138 100 normal radiographs collected from 2013 2023 at Clinical Hospital Dubrava. images were annotated by team comprising radiologist maxillofacial surgeon, utilizing GNU Image Manipulation Program. Furthermore, dataset enriched through application various augmentation...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Around 55% of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients are diagnosed in the advanced stage. Poor sleep quality has been associated as a potential risk factor for several malignancies, including head and neck cancers. Melatonin’s role circadian rhythm is well documented, its’ anti-oxidant, oncostatic anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose this study to determine salivary melatonin (MLT) levels OSCC patients, compare MLT with those healthy individuals serum...
Diagnosing child abuse still poses a challenge for healthcare professionals. We will present case in which physically and emotionally abused four-year-old boy had an undiagnosed lower jaw fracture almost eight months. The first presented with peri-mandibular swelling was treated antibiotics prescribed by his doctor of dental medicine. After not having responded to antibiotic treatment, the referred Department Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, accompanied birth mother. deciduous mandibular molars...
