The effect of soft palate reconstruction with the da Vinci robot on middle ear function in children: an observational study
Cleft palate is associated with a high prevalence of middle ear dysfunction, even after palatal repair. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of robot-enhanced soft palate closure on middle ear functioning. This retrospective study compared two patient groups after soft palate closure with a modified Furlow double-opposing Z-palatoplasty technique. Dissection of the palatal musculature was performed using a da Vinci robot in one group and manually in the other. Outcome parameters were otitis media with effusion (OME), tympanostomy tube use, and hearing loss during 2 years of follow-up. (Source: International Jo...

Comment on “Gland-sparing neck dissection: oncological and functional outcomes in oral cancer patients”
We would like to make a few pertinent observations in reference to the recently published clinical paper on “Gland-sparing neck dissection: oncological and functional outcomes in oral cancer patients”, by Shih et al.1 Proponents of submandibular gland (SMG) preservation in early oral squamous cell carcinoma claim that the gland seldom has intra-glandular lymph nodes and is only directly involved by co ntiguous invasion from a bulky tongue/floor of the mouth primary or extranodal extension from malignant nodes around it.

Helical distraction is superior to linear distraction in maxillary distraction osteogenesis: an in silico study
This in silico kinematic study was performed to evaluate the best attainable outcomes of maxillary distraction osteogenesis given the constraints of linear and helical motion. The study sample included the retrospective records of 30 patients with maxillary retrusion who had been treated with distraction or had been recommended this treatment. The primary outcomes were the errors of linear and helical distraction. The study measured two types of error: misalignment of key upper jaw landmarks and misalignment of the occlusion.

Xenogeneic collagen matrix versus connective tissue graft for soft tissue augmentation at immediately placed implants: a prospective clinical trial
The advantages of immediate implant placement for patients include a reduced number of surgical procedures and a shorter overall treatment time. Disadvantages include a higher risk of aesthetic complications. The aim of this study was to compare xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) versus a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) used for soft tissue augmentation in combination with immediate implant placement without provisionalization. Forty-eight patients requiring a single implant-supported rehabilitation were selected and assigned to one of two surgical procedures: immediate implant with SCTG (SCTG group) or immediat...

Central odontogenic fibroma with amyloid: a diagnostically challenging case
Odontogenic fibroma is a rare benign mesenchymal odontogenic tumor, with its histological diversity possibly posing diagnostic challenges. A case of the amyloid variant of central odontogenic fibroma, with epithelial cells in perineural and intraneural locations, is reported herein. The 46-year-old female patient had experienced discomfort related to her anterior right hard palate for approximately 25 years. Clinical examination revealed a depression in the anterior hard palate, and radiographic examination showed a well-defined radiolucent lesion with root resorption of the adjacent teeth.

Cumulative exposure and lifetime cancer risk from diagnostic radiation in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery: a cross-sectional analysis
In this study, 40 orthognathic patients were randomly sampled and their cumulative effective dose (ED) calculated. The lifetime attributable risk of cancer (LAR) was calculated based on the standard radiological protocol for orthognathic surgery follow-up using methods described in the BEIR VII report and RadRAT.

Prognostic significance of soft tissue deposits in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Soft tissue deposits, also known as tumour deposits (TDs), have not been studied well in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and are not included in any of the staging systems or treatment guidelines. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the prevalence and prognostic implications of TDs in patients with HNSCC. This systematic review of the literature was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. The PubMed, Embase, and Scopus electronic databases were searched for relevant studies, from inception to August 2022. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
