The surgery-first approach for orthognathic correction of maxillary deficiency —is it stable? Three-dimensional assessment of CBCT scans and digital dental models
The aim of this study was to determine the skeletal stability of Le Fort I maxillary advancement following the surgery-first approach, by three-dimensional (3D) assessment of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and digital dental models. CBCT scans of 25 class III patients obtained 1 week preoperatively (T0) and 1 week (T1) and 6 months (T2) postoperatively were superimposed to measure surgical movements (T0 –T1) and skeletal relapse (T1–T2). The distorted dentition of the CBCT scans at T1 was replaced with 3D images of the dental models to assess the postoperative occlusion. (Source: International Journal of Or...

Cost analysis of orthognathic surgery: outpatient care versus inpatient care
With limited healthcare resources, it is important to provide the right level and form of care. The aim of this study was to determine whether selected single-jaw orthognathic surgery in outpatient care (OPC) generates lower healthcare costs than in inpatient care (IPC). The costs of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME), Le Fort I osteotomy (LFI), and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) were calculated for 165 patients, 107 treated in OPC and 58 in IPC. Additionally, costs for revisits, emergency visits, emergency phone calls, re-operations, and plate removal during the first 12 months postoperativel...

Accuracy of the CAD/CAM technique compared with the conventional technique used for stand-alone genioplasty
The benefit of the computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technique for stand-alone genioplasty remains uncertain and was evaluated in this study. Patients who underwent a conventional genioplasty (n  = 20) or genioplasty with the CAD/CAM technique (n = 20), and for whom cephalometry and photogrammetry were performed before and 6 months after surgery, were included. Deviations from predictions of the soft tissue pogonion (Pg′), lip inferior point to aesthetic line (Li–Esth), facial conve xity angle (FCA), mentolabial angle (MLA), and ratios of soft to hard tissue movements were calculated.

Immediate lengthening temporalis myoplasty for facial palsy reconstruction following facial nerve inclusive total parotidectomy
Immediate lengthening temporalis myoplasty (Labb é procedure) for immediate dynamic facial reanimation after nerve-inclusive parotidectomy in the elderly population is undocumented in the literature. The aim of this work was to determine whether the Labbé approach could achieve immediate, good functional and static results in elderly patients wi th acquired facial palsy. A retrospective analysis of five patients with parotid malignancies involving the facial nerve who underwent parotidectomy and an immediate Labbé procedure was performed.

Clinical, imaging, and pathological characteristics of congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face
In this study, the cases of 20 patients diagnosed with CILF were reviewed retrospectively to analyse the characteristics of the disease. The symptoms, signs, and clinical progression were investigated. Radiological changes were analysed according to the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. The pathological features of the fatty facial lesions, jaw hyperplasia, and lingual lesions were further identified. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the diagnosis and progression of oral cancer
The objective of this study was to describe the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the diagnosis and progression of oral cancer lesions in Montreal, Canada. A retrospective analysis of health records was performed. Patients presenting for a new oncology consultation for an oral lesion suspicious for cancer between March 2018 and March 2022, within the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the McGill University Health Center, were included.

Long-term evaluation of condylar positional and volumetric parameters and skeletal stability in Class III bimaxillary orthognathic surgery patients
This retrospective study examined long-term (4 –5 years) condylar positional and volumetric changes and skeletal stability after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients. Pre-surgical (T0: 0.9 ± 1.1 months) and post-surgical (T1: 0.6 ± 0.7 months; T2: 12.8 ± 3.1 months; T3: 56.5 ± 6.5 months) cone beam comput ed tomography (CBCT) images of 22 patients were obtained. CBCT multiplanar reformation (MPR) images were generated, and three-dimensional (3D) condylar models were constructed and superimposed to compare changes in condylar volume from pre- to postoperative.

Mandibular autorotation: a critical virtual parameter in clinical decision-making regarding maxilla-first versus mandible-first sequence
Large degrees of mandibular autorotation during intermediate splint design are prone to transfer error and decrease accuracy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amount of mandibular autorotation necessary to design intermediate splints for maxilla- and mandible-first sequences using virtual planning software, to help the clinical decision-making regarding the most adequate sequence for each patient. The influence of specific orthognathic movements (different vertical and sagittal changes at the Le Fort I level, cant correction) and the type of maxillofacial deformity (skeletal Class II, III, anterior open bite) ...

Altered expression of GLS2 indicates a poor prognosis and correlates with clinicopathological features of oral squamous cell carcinoma
The objective of this study was to determine whether GLS2 transcription levels are associated with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) when compared to matched adjacent normal tissues. Primary tumour and adjacent normal tissues were collected from 51 OSCC patients, and GLS2 mRNA expression analysis was conducted using real-time qPCR. Additionally, The Cancer Genome Atlas –Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (TCGA-HNSCC) dataset was utilized to examine GLS2 expression in relation to clinicopathological features, the prognosis, and tumour immune cell infiltration.

Evaluation of postoperative outcomes in palatoplasty with three soft palate cleft repairs
The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative clinical and functional outcomes of palatoplasty with three soft palate cleft repairs and analyse the factors potentially impacting these outcomes. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a consecutive series of 337 patients who underwent primary cleft palate repair by palatoplasty modified with either Furlow Z-plasty (P-FZP, n  = 77), intravelar veloplasty (P-IVV, n = 110), or combined intravelar veloplasty–Furlow Z-plasty (P-IVV-FZP, n = 150).

Comment on “The impact and opportunities of large language models like ChatGPT in oral and maxillofacial surgery: a narrative review”
We read with interest the article “The impact and opportunities of large language models like ChatGPT in oral and maxillofacial surgery: a narrative review” by Puladi et al.1. Since its release, ChatGPT, a large language model (LLM), has had a huge impact on how we communicate with computers. The purpose of the study was to pres ent an overview of LLMs in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) and to provide an analysis of the current literature on the subject. To cover a wide variety of literature, the researchers searched several databases and covered related surgical specialties. (Source: International Jo...

Response to the comment on “The impact and opportunities of large language models like ChatGPT in oral and maxillofacial surgery: a narrative review”
We thank the authors who submitted a short summary and comment on our narrative review about ChatGPT1. As of the end of November 2023, a keyword search for ‘ChatGPT’ in PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=“ChatGPT”) results in more than 1750 entries, some even in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS)2,3. This increase in publications appears not to be slowing down, which shows the huge controversy that ChatGPT has brought to the medical field within the space of only about a year, and which it continues to bring.
