Developing a metric for bone union in mandibular reconstruction using quantitative CT.
[BACKGROUND] Objective quantification of bone union after mandibular reconstruction is important for evaluating reconstructive outcomes, yet current assessments are largely semi-quantitative. [OBJECTIVE] To explore the feasibility of using…

Quality of life outcomes in patients receiving dental implants in vascularised bone flaps for mandibular reconstruction.
Resection, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of the mandible impact function and health related quality of life (HRQOL). In this study, we aimed to understand the impact of delayed versus immediate dental implant placement. A cross-section…

Biomechanical assessment in virtual surgical planning for mandibular reconstruction.
The fibula free flap has been widely used for reconstructing large segmental bone defects in the maxillofacial region. While mandibular reconstruction requires a high degree of precision, the impact of surgical deviations on clinical outcom…

A Pilot Trial of Tongue Reconstruction Using the Chimeric Innervated Vastus Lateralis Muscle and Antero-Lateral Thigh Free Flap.
[BACKGROUND] Subtotal and total glossectomies for advanced tongue cancer result in significant speech- and swallow-related morbidity, impairing quality of life. This prospective pilot study compares the safety and functional outcomes associ…

Effect of botulinum toxin injection on speech outcomes among patients with synkinetic facial nerve palsy: An assessment of speech intelligibility and quality of life.
[BACKGROUND] Facial nerve palsy (FNP) considerably impairs functional outcomes and quality of life. For patients with synkinetic FNP, physiotherapy and botulinum toxin A (BTX) are commonly used to reduce hyperkinesis and improve facial expr…

What is the force required to treat trismus in patients undergoing oral cavity free flap reconstruction?
[BACKGROUND] Trismus therapy is often delayed after jaw reconstruction to avoid hardware failure or non-union. The aim of this study is to document the forces that have been applied to patients undergoing free flap reconstruction of the ora…

Virtual reality digital surgical planning for jaw reconstruction: a usability study.
[BACKGROUND] Digital surgical planning (DSP) has revolutionized the preparation and execution of the management of complex head and neck pathologies. The addition of virtual reality (VR) allows the surgeon to have a three-dimensional experi…

Health-related quality of life in maxillectomy patients undergoing dentoalveolar rehabilitation.
[OBJECTIVES] Surgical resection of the maxilla impairs aesthetics, speech, swallowing, and mastication. Maxillary reconstruction is increasingly performed with virtual surgical planning (VSP) to enhance functional dental rehabilitation with…

Swallowing and communication outcomes following primary transoral robotic surgery for advanced or recurrent oropharyngeal cancer: Case series.
: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is most commonly undertaken as a minimally invasive approach for early staged oropharyngeal cancers (OPC), with good expectations for a functional recovery. A small number of patients, however, require TOR…
