Anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDwR) is a common temporomandibular joint disorder associated with pain, joint sounds, and limited jaw movement. Conservative treatments are considered first-line but often yield unsatisfactory re…

[BACKGROUND] Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the hemostatic net in reducing post-rhytidectomy hematomas; however, its safety in relation to the proximity to the carotid vessels is unknown. [OBJECTIVES] This study ai…

[BACKGROUND] Bony nonunion is an important complication in head and neck reconstruction, but its definition, incidence, and treatment are not well-reported. [METHODS] MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and Web of Science were searched from October …

Condylar reconstruction and replacement with alloplastic materials have gained increasing surgical interest due to their critical role in restoring mandibular function. This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes and long-term complicati…

Mandibular continuity defects following tumor resection or trauma present significant reconstructive challenges, particularly for subsequent dental rehabilitation. While the fibula free flap remains the gold standard, its limited vertical h…

By using virtual surgical planning (VSP) and 3D printed guides, complex maxillofacial defects can be reconstructed with high accuracy and predictability. A fully digital workflow resulting in a modular all-in-one 3D printed guide system for…

::-positive rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare and aggressive subtype that was recently classified as a distinct entity. It is resistant to conventional chemotherapeutic regimens for RMS, and optimal treatment strategies have not been establi…

The fibula free flap (FFF) is commonly used in mandible reconstruction due to its good bone length and volume, and availability of a long vascular pedicle - the fibular artery (FA). In this study, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was u…

[BACKGROUND] Effective flap management is crucial for successful bone regeneration procedures. Traditional flap release has been performed by the deep split design; recently, the superficial split design revives for its proposed anatomical …

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Tumor involvement of the posterior mandible often requires resection of the mandibular condyle and associated soft tissue. This study explores clinical and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) associated with condyle…

[OBJECTIVES] Optimal contouring of fibula free flaps (FFF) for mandibulectomy often requires osteotomies. This study aimed to define criteria for initial gap width by evaluating whether postoperative gap size and other factors influence lon…

Orthognathic surgery is widely used to correct dentofacial deformities. Recent advancements in virtual surgical planning have enhanced the precision of these procedures. However, ensuring the surgical outcome reflects the virtual plan remai…

[BACKGROUND] Prosthodontic rehabilitation (PR) after fibula-free flap (FFF) reconstruction of maxillomandibular defects remains clinically challenging, and understanding factors that enhance or detract from achieving PR is critical to impro…

[INTRODUCTION] Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) frequently requires extensive resections and microvascular free flap reconstruction, procedures associated with relevant perioperative blood loss. This study aimed to quantify transfusion r…

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is a severe complication of anti-resorptive and anti-angiogenic therapies, with the mandible being particularly susceptible due to its limited vascularity. This retrospective study evaluated surgi…

[OBJECTIVES] While standard treatments for mandibular osteoradionecrosis (MORN) exist for mild/superficial and severe/full thickness disease, there is no consensus on treatment for advanced, partial thickness disease. In this niche, the ant…

[PURPOSE] For the first time, this study explores the transfer precision of computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in mandibular reconstruction with scapula free flaps (SFF). [METHODS] Patients undergoing mandibul…

[BACKGROUND] Jaw-in-a-Day (JIAD) reconstruction-combining osseous free tissue transfer, dental implant placement, and intraoperative prosthesis delivery-provides immediate functional and psychosocial rehabilitation after segmental jaw resec…

Ameloblastoma is a locally aggressive yet benign odontogenic neoplasm. Its three main clinical variants - intraosseous, unicystic, and extraosseous - differ vastly in their biological behavior and recurrence rate. Here we present a case of …

Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is a corrective jaw surgery that repositions the mandible. Potential complications include unexpected fractures, unfavorable splits, avascular necrosis, condylar resorption, and malposition of the p…
