Vascularized fibula free flap (FFF) grafts are frequently used to reconstruct mandibular defects. However, the current planning methods for osteotomy, splicing, and fibula placement present challenges in achieving satisfactory facial aesthe…

This reported case represents the first well-documented mandibular surgical ciliated cyst, following orthognathic surgery consisting of a combination of Le Fort I bimaxillary and sagittal osteotomy concomitantly with genioplasty, reported i…

Goldenhar syndrome (GS), also known as oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS), is a congenital condition affecting the craniofacial region and vertebrae. This report details a 21-year-old Korean female with GS, characterized by the absenc…

The repair of mandibular defects is challenging due to the functional and structural complexity of the mandible. The aim of this study was to evaluate the learning curve of mandibular reconstruction using a vascularized iliac crest free fla…

[OBJECTIVE] Describe the use, indications, and outcomes of iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) with concomitant anterolateral thigh fascia lata (ALTFL) rescue flap for the management of mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN). [STUDY DESIGN] Retrosp…

Deep-plane face-lift surgery is not new, having originally been described over 30 years ago; however, the technique has seen a recent surge in popularity. Although proponents emphasize its ability to deliver very natural results, critics of…

[BACKGROUND] Mandibular reconstruction has evolved significantly since its inception in the early 1900s. Currently, the fibula free flap (FFF) is considered the gold standard for mandibular and maxillary reconstructions, particularly for ex…

: Reconstructing the anterior mandible in patients with irradiated and contracted soft tissues remains challenging despite advances in computer-assisted design and three-dimensional printing. Unpredictable soft-tissue changes reduce the eff…

[BACKGROUND] The use of the operating microscope (OM) for extraction and alveolar ridge augmentation (ARP) is increasing due to enhanced magnification and illumination. The primary objective was to compare the wound healing and crestal bone…

[BACKGROUND] OnabotA is used to treat masseter muscle prominence (MMP). [OBJECTIVE] To assess the safety and efficacy of OnabotA for MMP in a randomized study. [METHODS] This 12-month, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase …

Neck injections of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) are an effective, minimally invasive approach to improve lower face sagging, especially in Asian populations. However, cases of worsened "double chin" have been observed postinjection, likely due…

[INTRODUCTION] Radiotherapy is an integral component of the comprehensive and sequential treatment approach for advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). One of the significant complications associated with radiotherapy is osteoradionec…

[BACKGROUND] Vascularized bone grafting (VBG) is preferred for mandibular reconstruction post-tumor ablation. Although various bone-free flaps are used, their application is compromised by limitations including insufficient bone volume and …

Resection of advanced oral malignancies often leads to extensive composite tissue defects, which may involve skin, oral mucosa, mandible, and a significant amount of soft tissue. While the free fibula flap remains the primary choice of reco…

The gold standard for central arch defects of the mandible is reconstruction with vascularized bone free flap. Free flap repair is always not an option due to lack of resources and in patients who are not healthy enough for lengthy surgery.…

Salivary gland tumors constitute 3-6% of all head and neck neoplasms. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant neoplasm, and 2-4% of these tumors can occur in the mandible. This is the largest single report of five cases,…

: The fibula free flap (FFF) is regarded as the workhorse for lower jaw reconstruction in maxillofacial surgery. Imitating the preexisting shape of the mandible by an FFF while meeting various clinical and geometric aspects can be challengi…

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…

[OBJECTIVE] In the multimodal treatment of advanced head and neck malignancies, primary free flap reconstruction in a one stage procedure with tumor resection is frequently combined with adjuvant radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is known to exhib…

Computer-aided design and manufacturing can enhance microvascular mandible reconstruction, particularly in cases with preexisting segmental defects or exophytic tumors where precise in situ plate bending is difficult. However, its high cost…
