The Curious Case of a ‘Maverick’ Cementoblastoma!
ConclusionThe Cementoblastoma is usually associated with certain inherent and pathognomonic features, making it rather straightforward to identify and diagnose. Strikingly uncharacteristic clinical, radiographic and histologic attributes presented in this case, made this ‘out of the ordinary’ and ‘Maverick’-like Cementoblastoma, arduous to diagnose, nevertheless, making it an interesting, informative and curious Case Study. This report has brought to light for the first time, several new facets of the Cementoblastoma. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

The Superficial Lesions in the Periauricular Region: A Retrospective Study
ConclusionsThere is great diversity in patterns and etiological causes of periauricular lesions. The congenital etiology is the most common cause of periauricular lesions. An individualized approach based on the nature and etiology of the lesion allows for more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Mucosal Melanoma of Palate: A Case Report with Review of Literature
AbstractThe World Health Organisation defines mucosal malignant melanoma as a malignant tumour of melanocytes or of melanocyte progenitors. Due to the lack of symptoms and unknown etiology, mucosal malignant melanoma may go undiagnosed. The surgeon can find it challenging to come up with a definitive treatment strategy because of its rarity and rapid spread. In this case study, a 57-year-old female patient with hyperpigmented gingiva and palate diagnosed pathologically and immunohistochemically as malignant melanoma underwent surgical excision and a modified radical neck dissection.

Comparative Evaluation of Sinus Complication and Survival Rates of Quad Zygoma versus Bizygoma in Combination with two Regular Implants in Atrophic Maxilla: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionTwo zygomatic implants in combination with two regular implants provides better survival rate and less sinus complications compared to quad zygoma in atrophic maxilla. Despite the high SR observed, there is a need to conduct more randomized controlled clinical trials to examine their efficacy in comparison with other techniques.

Cancerization of Ameloblastoma in Free Fibula Neomandible
ConclusionSome degree of suspicion for ameloblastic carcinoma should be maintained, in fast-growing recurrent ameloblastoma. Wide local excision remains the treatment of choice with adjuvant radiotherapy being an option in selected cases. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Does a Single Episode of Pain from Impacted Third Molars Necessitate Their Removal?
ConclusionThe findings of this study suggest that NO could be used as an indicator of oxidative stress and therefore emphasizes the importance of removing impacted mandibular third molars in patients who have had even a single episode of pain. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Effect of Methanol and Ethyl Acetate Leaf Extracts of Osbeckia octandra L. (Heen Bovitiya) on the Apoptosis and Migration of Human Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cell Lines
ConclusionThe results of this study depict the methanol and ethyl acetate extracts ofO. octandra possess anticancer activities on OSCC cells probably viaBCL2 pathway. Further in-depth studies are warranted to examine the exact bio-active compounds and the underneath mechanisms. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Integrative Approach to Maxillary Reconstruction: Assessment of Proficiency of Zygomatic and 3D-Manufactured Patient-Specific Implants in Mucormycosis Post-COVID-19
ConclusionThe study concludes that the integration of patient-specific implant systems with zygomatic implants offers a promising therapeutic approach for maxillary reconstruction post-mucormycosis secondary to COVID-19. However, further research with larger sample sizes and extended follow-up periods is warranted to validate these findings. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Incidence of Cervical Spine Injuries Associated with Maxillofacial Trauma and its Association with Facial Injury Severity
ConclusionAll the patients who sustained maxillofacial injuries must be evaluated for cervical spine injuries to prevent life threatening conditions like neurological morbidities and even mortality. From our study, we concluded that as severity of facial injury increases, the chances of CSI also increase. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Corrosion Features of Titanium Alloys in Dental Implants: A Systematic Review
ConclusionsThe development of improved strategies toward the reduction of corrosion and degradation of titanium alloys used for dental implants is crucial, also to prevent metal release in the tissue surrounding them to prolong their lifetime. As chemical and physical properties are crucial for the electrochemical behavior of the implant material, the development of appropriate alloys or coatings/layers for corrosion inhibition is mandatory.

Trailblazing Technique for Stanchion of Abdominal Free Fat with the Help of an IV Fluid Plastic Bottle
AbstractIt is noticed that OSMF has potentially malignant chances and is a catastrophic condition of the oral mucosa. For reconstruction of fiberotomy defects, different flaps can be used. An honest effort by the authors has been made to achieve an adequate, functional, and disease-free mouth opening by protecting and supporting the healing tissue. The aim of this innovative technical note is to shore and support the abdominal free fat in the management of OSMF with the help of an IV fluid plastic bottle. The advantage of this technique is that, it has wider circumference for the adaptation and the coverage compared to con...

Is Perineural Invasion an Independent Prognostic Factor for Local Recurrence in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma?
ConclusionPNI remains an aggressive factor for nodal metastasis mandating neck management for regional control. Though PNI showed no statistical significance with LR, time to recurrence in PNI positive patients were significantly shorter. Hence, close follow-up regimen becomes necessary.
