Feminization surgery of the lower face transforms a masculine chin, lower jaw, and neck to create a softer, more beautiful appearance. Chin feminization may be performed with a narrowing genioplasty. Lateral mandibular jawline contouring ma…

Perioral aesthetics are a critical component of facial gender-affirming surgery (FGAS). The goal of this paper is to review the philosophy, techniques, and evidence supporting perioral aesthetics in FGAS with specific attention to the lips,…

Mandibular reconstruction with the fibula free flap is the gold standard for large defects, with virtual surgical planning becoming integral to the process. The localization and dissection of critical vessels, such as the recipient vessels …

: The deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) free flap with internal abdominal oblique muscle (IAOM) is a well-known method of reconstruction used in cases of oral cavity neoplasms. Because the IAOM can be insufficient for extensive defects af…

This novel hybrid single-double-single barrel (1-2-1) design for fibula free flap reconstruction addresses the unique challenges presented by Brown class III mandibular defects, which involve long-span defects at both bodies of the mandible…

The spindle cell tumor is a variant of sarcomatoid carcinoma that mostly affects the oral cavity. Bone involvement in this tumor leads to a wide excision, which sometimes requires resection of both the maxilla and mandible. The maxilla and …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the rates of complications encountered by oral and maxillofacial surgeons who actively perform orthognathic surgeries in Türkiye intraoperative and postoperative periods. Sixty oral and maxillofac…

Facial masculinization surgery is a set of procedures for transmasculine patients, including mandible angle, chin, and tracheal augmentation. This study assesses outcomes and complications in 6 transmasculine patients who have undergone fac…

Odontogenic myxoma and odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) rarely coexist, especially in association with Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS). This report presents an unusual case of an NBCCS patient with simultaneous myxoma and OKC in th…

[PURPOSE] Mandible reconstruction surgery using fibula free flap is a long and expensive process requiring extensive surgical experience. Indeed, the planning stage, mandible shaping, and therefore osteotomy positioning on the fibula are te…

[BACKGROUND] The purpose of this work is to therapeutically reverse the damaging effects of radiotherapy on bone graft incorporation to enable nonvascularized bone grafting (NVBG) in the irradiated mandible. While NVBG has lost favor as a s…

Ameloblastoma is a benign, slow-growing, locally aggressive tumor derived from dental lamina and odontogenic epithelium. Though mainly occurring in adults, its presence has also been reported in the pediatric population. From the three subt…

[OBJECTIVES] To compare the efficacy of patient-specific 3-dimensional (3D)-printed plates (PSP) and pre-bent universal reconstruction plates (PBP) in preserving the 3D position of the mandibular condyle and total operation time during mand…

[BACKGROUND] Virtual surgical planning (VSP) with simple cutting templates could help surgeons preoperatively plan scapula reconstructions in the vertical and horizontal orientations. [METHODS] Virtually, eight defects were created in ten …

Mandibular reconstruction in pediatric patients presents significant challenges due to anatomical complexity, functional demands, and considerations for future growth. This case report introduced a novel reconstructive technique, bicomposit…

The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is an essential branch of the trigeminal nerve in the mandible. It provides the nerve supply to the lower lip, chin, and teeth. Despite various nerve repair strategies having been explored to enhance functi…

[OBJECTIVES] Conventional head and neck practice procedures fail to address several clinical issues. Anatomical structures were removed from the surface layers in that order, and the dissection was shifted to the deeper layer. This approach…

Placing dental implants in the microvascular bone free flaps used for reconstruction of mandible or maxilla is a technique that has been previously reported. However, there is a scarcity of data on the use of short dental implants in this s…

[BACKGROUND] Preoperative computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) revolutionized head and neck reconstruction after extirpative surgery. However, studies performing head-to-head comparison to the conventional techni…

The management of oral malignancy necessitates a comprehensive approach focusing on disease eradication and patient quality of life. Surgery remains pivotal, although extensive resection can lead to aesthetic and functional challenges. Reco…
