Accurate occlusion-driven maxillary reconstruction with deep circumflex iliac artery flap using computer-assisted techniques and intraoral anastomosis: a case series study
The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of occlusion-driven maxillary reconstruction with the deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap, using computer-assisted design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology and intraoral anastomosis. The data of 11 patients who underwent occlusion-driven maxillary reconstruction with this method between December 2018 and December 2020 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology were reviewed retrospectively.

Response to the Letter to the Editor regarding “Ambulatory sagittal split ramus osteotomy: strategy for enhanced recovery after surgery”
We would like to thank the authors of the Letter to the Editor for their interest in our article titled “Ambulatory sagittal split ramus osteotomy: strategy for enhanced recovery after surgery”.1 The authors of the Letter refer to an interesting study in which a sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) was performed on 35 patients under local anaesthesia and intravenous sedation, thereby avoiding the need for general anaesthesia and a hospital stay.2 (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Neck management of pathological N1 oral squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective study
This study was performed to compare the effects of neck dissection procedures on the prognosis of patients with pathological N1 (pN1) oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), analyse factors affecting the prognosis, and provide a neck management strategy for clinical N1 (cN1) oral cancer. The study patients were divided into two groups according to the neck dissection: a selective neck dissection (SND) group (n  = 85) and a radical or modified radical neck dissection (RND/MRND) group (n = 22). There was no statistically significant difference in recurrence rates at local, regional, and distant sites between the SND and RND...

Clinical feasibility of deep learning-based automatic head CBCT image segmentation and landmark detection in computer-aided surgical simulation for orthognathic surgery
The purpose of this ambispective study was to investigate whether deep learning-based automatic segmentation and landmark detection, the SkullEngine, could be used for orthognathic surgical planning. Sixty-one sets of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were automatically inferred for midface, mandible, upper and lower teeth, and 68 landmarks. The experimental group included automatic segmentation and landmarks, while the control group included manual ones that were previously used to plan orthognathic surgery.

Update of the classification of midpalatal suture behaviour after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion using computed tomography
The aim of this study was to update the midpalatal suture classification after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) using computed tomography (CT). Thirty-five patients with a transverse maxillary deficiency and unilateral or bilateral posterior crossbite underwent SARME with osteotomy of the pterygoid apophysis of the sphenoid. CT was performed before installation of the Hyrax expander appliance and after the final activation. Opening of the midpalatal suture was classified into three types: type I, total midpalatal suture opening from anterior nasal spine (ANS) to posterior nasal spine (PNS); type II, pa...

Association of preoperative low skeletal muscle mass with postoperative complications after selective neck dissection
Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) is an emerging predictive and prognostic factor in head and neck cancer patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of low SMM for postoperative complications in clinically T1 –2 oral cavity cancer patients undergoing selective neck dissection. A retrospective study in clinically T1–2 oral cavity cancer patients who underwent selective neck dissection between 2011 and 2017 was performed. The predictive value of low SMM for the occurrence of postoperative complications and prolonged hospital stay was evaluated. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Fellowship Advertisement
Under the directorship of Dr. GE Ghali, the Willis Knighton Health System and its Department of Oral& Craniomaxillofacial Surgery is pleased to announce two openings for a two-year post-residency fellowship beginning July 1, 2023. These two fellows would join the current two (senior) fellows in a high-volume, comprehensive fellowship in the full scope of both craniofacial and head& neck surgery. The craniofacial component includes the management of congenital deformities, including primary cleft lip and palate deformities, as well as more complex conditions requiring transcranial and skull base surgery.

Efficacy of the autogenous dentin graft for implant placement: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
The aim of this study was to determine whether the autogenous dentin graft (ADG) shows comparable results and similar clinical performance to other graft materials when utilized for implant placement. Four databases were searched, and controlled human studies that applied autogenous dentin for implant surgery, comparing it with other bone grafts, were included. Nine articles met the inclusion criteria, five of which were randomized controlled trials and were included in the meta-analysis. ADG showed equivalent primary and secondary implant stability when compared to Bio-Oss (primary: mean difference −0.74, 95% confidence...
