Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Posters
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a well-recognized disease entity affecting approximately 2% to 4% of the population. Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery is a highly successful surgical alternative to poorly tolerated CPAP therapy and achieves a success rate of 89% in the current literature. Our present study evaluates the effectiveness of MMA surgery in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe OSA based on Shers criteria of 50% reduction in AHI and AHI < 20. Radiographic and clinical treatment variables were evaluated in determining predictors of success for MMA in individuals with OSA.

Excellence Day
This patient came to University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry to get implants and implant crowns to improve his smile, replacing his upper partial denture. Different approaches were made by the faculty to arrive at best outcomes, which took four years for the patient to receive the treatment he wanted. This abstract will further detail how the treatment was conducted and the results afterwards.

Perceptions, Expectations, And Satisfaction Of Patients Undergoing Dental Implant Therapy In The Faculty Of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University, Khunsiri Sermsiripoca
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The aims of this study were to evaluate patient's perception before and after receiving dental implant therapy and to investigate patient's perception, expectation, and satisfaction of dental implant treated by postgraduate dental students and faculty members. This study was designed with a quantitative cross-sectional technique. The data were collected by 3 questionnaires, from patients who intended to receive dental implant treatment during September 2017 to February 2019. Two hundred and fifty participants participated in this study. Most of them were female, aged 55-64 years, graduated bachelor's degree, and facial and teeth appearance did not affect their career. The proportion of …
Comparison Of Single-Dose And Multi-Dose Antibiotic Prophylaxis In Orthognathic Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study, Teeraphat Pochana
Comparison Of Single-Dose And Multi-Dose Antibiotic Prophylaxis In Orthognathic Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study, Teeraphat Pochana
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Objective: (1) to compare the prophylactic effect of a single versus a multiple dose antibiotic regimens and (2) to determine factors related to surgical site infection in orthognathic surgery. Materials and methods: Medical records of patients underwent orthognathic surgery in the Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University between 2014 and 2016 were extracted for medical data including demographic data, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)-classified past medical history, orthognathic surgical procedures and complications, prophylactic antibiotic regimen, and surgical site infection. The records also contained 30-day follow-up information, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) diagnostic criteria for surgical site …

This study aimed to survey the attitudes and knowledge of Thai general dental practitioners (GDPs) in proving dental implant maintenance care. The online questionnaire was sent to Thai GDPs who graduated between 2000 and 2016. Of the returned 435 questionnaires, 429 completely filled were included for analysis. 76% of the participants were female and 24% were male. Half of the participants were aged 28-33 years old and 78% of the participants have been working as a GDP 10 years or below. There were 64.3% and 59.4% of the participants who agreed that dental implant surgery and restoration should only be …
Comparison Of The Implant Deviation Between Implants Placed Using Static And Dynamic Computer Assisted Surgery Methods, Dechawat Kaewsiri
Comparison Of The Implant Deviation Between Implants Placed Using Static And Dynamic Computer Assisted Surgery Methods, Dechawat Kaewsiri
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of implant placement in terms of deviations related to the virtual plan between static and dynamic computer assisted implant surgery (CAIS) systems in single tooth space. Materials & Methods: 60 single implants were randomly placed using two difference CAIS systems by one surgeon. Preoperative CBCT transferred to implant planning software were used to plan the virtual implant position. Implants were placed using either stereolithographic guide template for static CAIS group (n = 30) or implant navigation system for dynamic CAIS group (n = 30). Postoperative CBCT were taken to …
Comparative Study Of The Accuracy Of Single Tooth Implants Placed Between Static And Mental Computer Assisted Surgery, Palita Smitkarn
Comparative Study Of The Accuracy Of Single Tooth Implants Placed Between Static And Mental Computer Assisted Surgery, Palita Smitkarn
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Objective: This randomized controlled clinical trial aimed to compared the accuracy of implant position between static and mental Computer Assisted Implant Surgery (CAIS) in single tooth gap. Materials and methods: 52 patients who received 60 implants in single tooth gap, randomized equally into static or mental CAIS. In static CAIS group, data from CBCT scan and data from intraoral or model scan were utilised for the three dimensional virtual planning implant positioning and desiring of a three dimensional surgical guide in implant planning software. Implant bed preparation and implant insertion were done through the three dimensional surgical guide. Implants in …
Comparative Study Between Vitamin B 1-6-12 And Vitamin B 12 For Neurosensory Recovery After Bilateral Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy, Worawee Trising
Comparative Study Between Vitamin B 1-6-12 And Vitamin B 12 For Neurosensory Recovery After Bilateral Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy, Worawee Trising
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
A major complication from Bilateral Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy (BSSRO) is inferior alveolar nerve injured that manifest as neurosensory disturbance (NSD) on the lower lip, chin. Although the NSD is not a life-threatening problem but it impacts the patient's daily life. Vitamin B is commonly used to treat peripheral neuropathy but it is only few study for NSD from BSSRO. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of oral vitamin B1-6-12 and vitamin B12 on NSD after BSSRO. The study design was as a randomized, single blinded control trial of 75 patients who were NSD from BSSRO …
