Identification of risk factors for postoperative delirium in patients following intraoral reconstruction with microvascular free flaps: a matched-pair analysis
Postoperative delirium (POD) following microvascular head and neck reconstruction negatively impacts patient outcomes, and only a few risk factors have been identified. The aim of this study was to identify additional risk factors for POD after intraoral reconstruction with microvascular free flaps. Data from 377 patients who underwent intraoral microvascular free flap reconstruction between 2011 and 2019 were analysed retrospectively. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were compared between 40 patients with POD and 40 patients without POD who were matched for previously identified risk factors (i.e....

Effect of helmet use on maxillofacial injuries due to bicycle and scooter accidents: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis
Maxillofacial injury is a common injury resulting from bicycle (including e-bike) and scooter accidents. With 80,000 admissions to emergency departments in 2019, bicycle accidents account for more than half of all traffic-related emergency department visits in the Netherlands. The United States reports approximately 130,000 injuries and 1000 fatalities related to cycling annually. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to examine the protective effect of helmets against maxillofacial injuries resulting from bicycle and scooter (including e-bike and e-scooter) accidents.

Clinical features of tumours and tumour-like pathologies involving the buccal fat pad
This study aimed to investigate the clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics of pathologies involving the buccal fat pad (BFP) and to explore the treatment protocols. The cases of 109 patients with primary pathologies involving the BFP (pBFP) diagnosed between January 2013 and September 2021 were assessed. The patients ’ clinical presentations and radiological and histopathological findings were analysed retrospectively, and their treatment outcomes were evaluated. The 109 pBFP were categorized as benign tumours (n = 17), malignant tumours (n = 29), vascular malformations (n = 38), and inflammatory ...

Evaluation of fibrin, cyanoacrylate, and polyurethane-based tissue adhesives in sutureless vascular anastomosis: a comparative mechanical ex vivo study
The stability of a microvascular anastomosis is an important prerequisite for successful tissue transfer. Advances in tissue adhesives are potentially opening new avenues for their use in sutureless microsurgical anastomosis, however they have not yet gained clinical acceptance. In this ex vivo study, a novel polyurethane-based adhesive (PA) was used in sutureless anastomoses and its stability compared with that of sutureless anastomoses performed with fibrin glue (FG) and a cyanoacrylate (CA). Stability was assessed using hydrostatic (15 per group) and mechanical tests (13 per group). (Source: International Journal of Ora...

Risk factors for inpatient hospital admission following isolated orbital floor fractures
In this study, the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB, 2016 –2017) was used to identify patients presenting with isolated orbital floor trauma. Patient-specific factors were analyzed to determine associations with management. The sample comprised 912 patients; 285 (31.3%) of these patients were discharged from the ED, 541 (59.3%) were admitted to the hospi tal but did not undergo an operation, and 86 (9.4%) underwent operative treatment.

Endo-sinus bone gain following osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation with Bio-Oss Collagen compared with no grafting material: a one-year single-blind randomized controlled trial
The objective of this study was to assess endo-sinus bone gain (ESBG) following osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation with Bio-Oss Collagen (test) compared with no grafting material (control) using two- and three-dimensional radiographic methods, as part of a randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04618900). Forty healthy patients who met the necessary eligibility criteria were allocated by block randomization to either the test group (20 patients) or control group (20 patients).

Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea after chemoradiation therapy for advanced head and neck cancer
This report presents a case of worsening obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) post-chemoradiation therapy that improved significantly after placement of a hypoglossal nerve stimulator. The patient was a 66-year-old male, diagnosed with head and neck cancer, who experienced exacerbation of OSA after receiving chemoradiation. A hypoglossal nerve stimulator was placed, with minimal complications. The patient showed a significant improvement in OSA as exhibited by the reduction in apnea –hypopnea index. Hypoglossal nerve stimulator placement appears to be a potential treatment option for induced or worsened OSA, which is a known co...

Digital template-guided genioplasty for patients with jaw deformity resulting from temporomandibular joint ankylosis: A comparison between single- and double-layer genioplasty
The aim of this study was to compare single- and double-layer digital template-assisted genioplasty for the correction of jaw deformity resulting from temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA). Thirteen patients with jaw deformity resulting from TMJA who underwent lateral arthroplasty, costochondral graft, or total joint replacement combined with single- or double-layer digital template-assisted genioplasty were included. Computed tomography data were obtained for the preoperative design. Digital templates were designed and manufactured using three-dimensional printing to assist with the chin osteotomy and repositioning in ...

Reproducibility and reliability of digital occlusal planning for orthognathic surgery
This study was performed to compare the accuracy and reproducibility of free-hand articulation of two groups of digital and physical dental models, 12 Class I (group 1) and 12 Class III (group 2). The models were scanned using an intraoral scanner. The physical and digital models were independently articulated 2 weeks apart by three orthodontists to achieve the maximum inter-digitation, with coincident midlines and a positive overjet and overbite.

Sialendoscopic removal of metastatic adenocarcinoma in a mucous plug from Stensen ’s duct
Sialendoscopy is a minimally invasive technique used mainly in the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive salivary gland disorders. There has yet to be a report on its use in the diagnosis of metastatic disease. While metastatic cancer has been described in numerous head and neck anatomic subsites, it has not been reported to be found in a mucous plug in Stensen ’s duct. Sialendoscopy was performed in a 68-year-old female patient who presented with symptoms of ductal obstruction. Basket removal of a mucous plug was done and histopathological analysis of this specimen found adenocarcinoma. (Source: International Journal o...
