Three-dimensional bone remodelling of glenoid fossa in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery
This study aimed to characterize three-dimensional quantitative morphological changes of glenoid fossa in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion treated with bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. Ninety-five eligible patients (50 male, 45 female; mean age 22.09 years) were enrolled retrospectively. Cone beam computed tomography obtained at 1 week preoperatively (T0), immediately after surgery (T1), and at ≥ 12 months postoperatively (T2) were registered based on cranial base using voxel-based registration in 3D Slicer.

Association of anatomical features of the petrotympanic fissure and presence of foramen of Huschke with otalgia and tinnitus
The petrotympanic fissure (PTF) and foramen of Huschke (FH) are anatomical structures in the temporal bone that can connect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the ear. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the association between PTF morphology and otalgia and tinnitus, as well as the prevalence of the FH and otological symptoms, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT images from 114 patients presenting with symptoms of a temporomandibular disorder were examined retrospectively. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Functional reconstruction of the masseter muscle by microvascular free gracilis muscle transfer: technique and outcome
This article reports a technique of masseter muscle resection, dissection of the masseteric nerve, and masseter muscle reconstruction with a functional gracilis muscle flap. The technique was applied in a 38-year-old man with recurrent intramuscular lipoma of the right masseter muscle. The flap was highly stable in form and showed good function.

Consensus guidelines on training, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care of trigeminal nerve injuries
The aim was to present expert-based guidelines on the management of trigeminal nerve injuries. A two-round multidisciplinary Delphi study was conducted amongst international trigeminal nerve injury experts with a set of statements and three summary flowcharts using a nine-point Likert scale (1  = strongly disagree; 9 = strongly agree). An item was deemed appropriate if the median panel score was within the range of 7–9, undecided if the score was 4–6, and inappropriate if the score was 1–3. Consensus was achieved if at least 75% of panelists scored within one range. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Effect of occlusal stabilisation splint with or without arthroscopic disc repositioning on condylar bone remodelling in adolescent patients
The aim of this study was to investigate the treatment effects of a stabilisation splint (SS) with and without arthroscopic disc repositioning (ADR) on condylar bone remodelling in adolescent patients with anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDwoR). Cone beam computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were used to analyse condylar bone remodelling, condyle position, and disc position. Twenty-two temporomandibular joints of 14 patients who underwent ADR (age range 12 –20 years; mean follow-up 12.5 ± 7.8 months) and 21 temporomandibular joints of 14 patients who did not undergo ADR (age range 13–20 ...

Utility of BRAF V600E immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of mandibular ameloblastomas
Ameloblastoma, odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), and dentigerous cyst (DC) can have similar radiographic and histological appearances. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of BRAF immunohistochemistry in discerning mandibular ameloblastomas from OKCs and DCs. This retrospective cohort study included patients treated between 1998 and 2018. Inclusion criteria include incisional biopsy-proven mandibular ameloblastoma, OKC, or DC, and sufficient tissue for immunohistochemistry. The primary predictor variable was the type of lesion.

Additional pre-extubation local anaesthetic application to improve the postoperative course in orthognathic surgery: a randomised controlled trial
A clinical trial was performed to assess the analgesic efficacy of adding ropivacaine pre-extubation for pain management after bimaxillary osteotomy. Forty-eight patients were assigned to receive general anaesthesia followed by either a single pre-incisional infiltration with lidocaine (control group, n  = 24) or the same pre-incisional infiltration with lidocaine and an additional second infiltration with ropivacaine before awakening (test group, n = 24). Postoperative pain was assessed subjectively using a visual analogue scale and objectively based on the frequency of postoperative rescue op ioid consumption. (Sourc...

Helical distraction is superior to linear and circular distraction in mandibular distraction osteogenesis: an in silico study
Helical mandibular distraction is theoretically better than linear or circular distraction. However, it is not known whether this more complex treatment will result in unquestionably better outcomes. Therefore, the best attainable outcomes of mandibular distraction osteogenesis were evaluated in silico, given the constraints of linear, circular, and helical motion. This cross-sectional kinematic study included 30 patients with mandibular hypoplasia who had been treated with distraction, or to whom this treatment had been recommended.

Communication between the temporomandibular joint articular space and the extradural space in patients with temporal bone pneumatization: implications for temporomandibular joint surgery
The pneumatization of the articular portion of the temporal bone is an anatomical variant that can modify the barrier between the articular space and the middle cranial fossa. Thus, this study aimed to identify the presence and degree of pneumatization, as well as the existence of pneumatic cell dehiscence towards the extradural or articular space determining whether it could lead to direct communication between the articular and extradural spaces. Hence, One-hundred skull computed tomography images were selected. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Which comorbid conditions and risk factors affect the outcome of and progression to total temporomandibular joint replacement?
Surgery is an effective modality to reduce pain and increase range of motion (ROM) in TMJ disorders. The aim of this study was to determine which comorbidities and risk factors affect outcomes and progression to total joint replacement (TJR). A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent TJR between 2000- 2018 at MGH was conducted. Primary outcome was successful vs unsuccessful surgery. Success was defined as pain score ≤ 4 and ROM ≥ 30 mm; failure was defined as lack of either or both. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Conservative and minimally invasive approaches to control idiopathic condylar resorption: a scoping review
Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is an uncommon disease with multiple names that challenges orthodontic and surgical treatments. The aim of this study was to investigate the existing conservative and minimally invasive approaches to controlling ICR. A scoping literature review was conducted. Inclusion criteria were young patients with degenerative joint disease based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders or Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) protocols, or ICR based on the DC/TMD expanded taxonomy protocol.

Transoral versus transfacial surgical approach to maxillary tumors: evaluation of outcomes and perspectives
Neoplasms of the maxilla have multiple different origins and histology, and often extend towards the infratemporal fossa, orbit, or skull base. Extensive resection may be required, often leading to poor esthetic and functional results. Usually, these lesions are removed via a transfacial approach. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of the transoral versus transfacial approach for maxillary tumors. A single-institution retrospective study was conducted on patients with maxillary-midface tumors, treated between January 2009 and December 2019.

Evaluation of outcomes after conservative mandibular surgery in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma
This study aimed to assess preoperative radiological and clinical examinations for identifying bone status and to evaluate survival outcomes in patients undergoing marginal mandibulectomy for the primary treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma. The medical records, enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans, and pathological specimens of these patients were reviewed. Disease-free (DFS), local recurrence-free (LRFS), and osteoradionecrosis-free (ORNFS) survival were analysed. The study included 104 patients.
