Mouth opening limitation and influence of age and surgical location for static fully guided dental implant placement: an observational, cross-sectional clinical study
The influence of age and region of the mouth was assessed in regard to mouth opening in fully guided implant placement. Ninety patients were included in this study, 30 in each of three age groups (20 –34, 35–55, and>55 years). Maximum passive mouth opening was recorded in three locations: incisal, canine, and molar. The minimum distance required to allow the bone drilling sequence through a static fully guided approach was analysed for four implant systems: Straumann, MIS Dentsply, Astra Tech Dentsply, and Dentium.

Controversies in point-of-care 3D printing for oncological and reconstructive surgery with free software in oral and maxillofacial surgery: European regulations, costs, and timeframe
The aim of this paper is to discuss the controversies surrounding the most recent European regulations, as well as the cost, for a 3D printing workflow using free-source software in the context of a tertiary level university hospital in the Spanish public health system. Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) for head and neck oncological surgery with the printing of biomodels, cutting guides, and patient-specific implants has made it possible to simplify and make this type of highly complex surgery more predictable.

Arthroscopy versus arthrocentesis and versus conservative treatments for temporomandibular joint disorders: a systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis
The aim of this systematic review was to assess the efficacy of arthroscopy compared to arthrocentesis and to conservative treatments for temporomandibular joint disorders. Thirteen controlled studies on various patient outcomes were included after a systematic search in seven electronic databases. Meta-analyses were conducted separately for arthroscopic surgery (AS) and arthroscopic lysis and lavage (ALL), and short-term ( (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Dynamic navigation-assisted bone ring technique for partially edentulous patients with severe vertical ridge defects
The autogenous bone ring technique is among the approaches for vertical alveolar ridge augmentation, and this technique can enable simultaneous implantation. However, the outcomes can be compromised due to donor site morbidity, shifting of the bone ring graft positioning, and inaccurate implant placement. In recent decades, dynamic navigation systems have been introduced into the field of implantology, allowing the accuracy of outcomes to be improved. This Technical Note describes the use of dynamic navigation to guide bone ring surgery, which is expected to enable more precise and predictable bone augmentation and implant...

Implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of the atrophic posterior mandible with additively manufactured custom-made subperiosteal implants: a cohort study
The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyse a series of patients with posterior mandibular atrophy rehabilitated with custom-made subperiosteal implants. The study included patients with severe posterior mandibular atrophy who had undergone rehabilitation with subperiosteal implants between September 2018 and August 2022 in the Maxillofacial Surgery Operative Unit of the University Hospital of Sassari. Complications and the success rate were reviewed. Data from 30 implants placed in 17 patients were included and analysed. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

The median lingual foramen in the era of orthognathic virtual surgical planning
The median lingual foramen (MLF), which contains neurovascular bundles, is located in an area commonly considered safe for surgical procedures. However, published reports of severe complications after interventions in the mandibular symphysis area indicate the need for caution when approaching this region surgically. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vertical location of the MLF and the median lingual canal (MLC) by measuring the distances of these landmarks to the root apex of the lower central incisors (LCI) and to the menton cephalometric point (Me) on pre-orthognathic surgery cone beam computed tomography scans...

Evaluation and recommendations of the oral health, oral function, and orofacial aesthetics-related measures of the ICHOM Standard Set for Cleft Lip and Palate
This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of outcome measures for the orofacial domain included in the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement Standard Set for Cleft Lip and Palate (ICHOM-SCS). In this multicentre study involving two cleft centres, suggestions to optimize the type and timing of outcome measures were made based on data and clinical experience. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) (CLEFT-Q Jaw, Teeth, Eating/Drinking; Child Oral Health Impact Profile —Oral Symptoms Scale (COHIP-OSS)) and clinical outcome measures (caries experience and dental occlusion) data were collected ret...

Application of tensor fascia lata perforator flap in head and neck reconstruction
The aim of this study was to describe the authors ’ experience in head and neck reconstruction with the tensor fascia lata perforator flap (TFLPF). Between April 2009 and August 2020, 16 patients underwent head and neck reconstruction with a TFLPF. The flaps were designed in a vertical or transverse fashion based on perforators traveling along th e medial or lateral aspect of the posterior edge of the tensor fascia lata muscle. Clinical details and postoperative results were recorded and analyzed. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Relationship between age-related changes in mandibular third molar roots and the possibility of mental nerve paresthesia after tooth extraction
Mental nerve paresthesia is a serious postoperative complication of mandibular third molar extraction. It appears that no study has examined the relationship between the surface morphology of the mandibular third molar roots and the possibility of mental nerve paresthesia following tooth extraction. Therefore, the root morphology of the mandibular third molars was examined according to age using dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and the possibility of mental nerve paresthesia following tooth extraction was evaluated.

What is the angular accuracy of regional voxel-based registration for segmental Le Fort I and genioplasty osteotomies?
Among the accuracy analysis techniques for orthognathic surgery, regional voxel-based registration (R-VBR) has robust data, but remains unvalidated for smaller jaw segments. The purpose of this study was to validate the angular accuracy of R-VBR for segmental Le Fort I (SLFI) and genioplasty osteotomies. Postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of consecutive patients with three-piece SLFI or genioplasties was rotated to a known pitch/roll/yaw (P/R/Y). Using R-VBR, a copy of the raw CBCT was superimposed onto the rotated CBCT at four mutual regions of interest (ROI): anterior, right posterior, and left posterior ...

We thank the authors of the Letter to the Editor for their interest in our recently published study on neck management in early stage (T1 –2) buccal squamous cell carcinoma1. We agree with the authors’ emphasis on the importance of regional control in this high-risk group of patients. Based on the current literature, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines on cancer of the oral cavity have not been able to issu e a definitive recommendation on the role of adjuvant therapy in pN1 disease2.
