Head and neck reconstructive surgery is a complex and lengthy procedure that carries a high postoperative complication risk. At our institution, the authors have successfully minimized fistula formation incidence following immediate reconst…

[INTRODUCTION] Ameloblastoma is quite a rare, slow growing and locally invasive benign odon¬togenic tumour of epithelial origin with a high propensity to recur. Large tumours in the mandible can give rise to large defects after radical tumo…

Marin-Amat syndrome is a rare form of facial synkinesis resulting from aberrant connections between the trigeminal and facial nerves. This condition manifests as involuntary eyelid closure upon voluntary jaw movement. It is distinct from th…

[OBJECTIVE] To analyze treatment patterns, dosing variations, and reapplication rates of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) and hyaluronic acid injections, with a focus on sex- and age-related differences in outcomes. [METHODS] A prospective …

Facial feminization surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at providing gender-affirming transformations of the facial skeleton and soft tissue for transgender women. The performance of these procedures has increased in recent year…

[INTRODUCTION] This case report describes the multidisciplinary treatment of a patient with mandibular retrognathia and hyperdivergent skeletal pattern, condylar resorption, and severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). [CASE PRESENTATION] A 4…

The deep plane facelift isolates the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) by direct lysis of retaining ligaments, allowing greater mobilization of the vascularized composite flap of skin and SMAS. The authors of this study describe …

[OBJECTIVE] Profileplasty traditionally involves improving a nasal hump or an underprojected chin. However, this procedure can correct other facial defects like saddle nose or prognathism. To establish the best overall profile, the nose, th…

[RATIONALE] Orthognathic surgery cases are inherently challenging to treat with lingual appliances due to the complexities of orthodontic management and difficulties in achieving intermaxillary fixation during surgery. This challenge is fur…

[OBJECTIVE] Assess the long-term plate complications with patient-specific plates (PSPs) created with computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) for fibula free flap reconstructions for mandibular defects. [METHODS]…

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a benign yet locally aggressive intraosseous tumour rarely encountered in the mandible. It often mimics other oral lesions. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a condition in which individuals tend to develo…

[OBJECTIVES] The purpose of this study was to measure the frequency of peri-implant reactive tissue development in a cohort of patients following immediate implant supported prosthetic rehabilitation in fibula free flaps at our institution …

[STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective case series. [OBJECTIVE] Cellular bone allografts (CBAs) contain the components of a successful bone graft with no autologous component and have been used extensively outside the head and neck. Descriptions of …

[STUDY DESIGN] Prospective and retrospective studies. [OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effects and accuracy of three-dimensionally (3D)-printed patient-specific surgical plates used for mandibular defect recon…

[STUDY DESIGN] Face and content validation of a surgical simulation model. [OBJECTIVE] Accidental transection of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) during bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSO) has a reported incidence of up to 7%, det…

[BACKGROUND AND AIM] Central giant cell tumour (CGCT) accounts for …

The reported donor site morbidity of the fibula free flap (FFF) is low; however, several uncommon complications have been reported with tibia fracture rarely being reported. We present a case of a pathological tibial fracture in the setting…

[INTRODUCTION] Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is an unfortunate potential sequela of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. In advanced cases of ORN, mandibulectomy, and free fibula flap reconstruction are required. We hypothesize…

[OBJECTIVES] This study aimed to develop and validate a robotic system capable of performing accurate and minimally invasive jawbone milling procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery. [METHODS] The robotic hardware system mainly include…

[OBJECTIVE] This study aimed to investigate the features of bone mineral density (BMD) and cortical bone thickness in grafted fibula. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Eighty-six patients who underwent mandibular reconstruction using vascularized fi…
