Comparison of Five Different Treatment Approaches of Mandibular Keratocystic Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC): A Retrospective Recurrence Analysis of Clinical and Radiographic Parameters
In this study, no significant differences could be observed regarding the surgical method. Most recurrences occurred with 91.9% in the mandible with an average size of 5.5 cm2 and increased in women. Within a mean follow-up time of 3.6  years the recurrence rate was 36.9%, on average after 36 months. Recurrences were most frequently diagnosed at the age of 31–50 (43.9%). Despite numerous studies, there is still no unanimous opinion on an effective therapy for OKC. However, precise resection of OKC can be facilitated by preoper ative 3D-imaging and virtual planning.

Analysis of the Effectiveness of 3D Printed Patient-Specific Implants for Reconstruction of Maxillary Defect Secondary to Mucormycosis
ConclusionFrom the present data, it can be concluded that within the limitations of the study, patient-specific implant systems are an effective treatment strategy for the reconstruction of the maxilla affected by mucormycosis secondary to Covid-19. More studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up periods are required to substantiate the results from the present study. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Color-Coding System for Labeling Surfaces on a Gross Specimen
AbstractAt present, different surfaces of a resected specimen are inked to mark its orientation. The information is conveyed to the pathologist, so they can report findings relevant to the different margins. Even so, there exists a discrepancy in orientation performed by the surgeon and the pathologist in a certain number of cases. The establishment of a universal color-coding system is thus long overdue, which would aid in drastically reducing the identification errors across pathology laboratories. Herein, we have introduced a color-coding system to mark various surfaces on a gross specimen that could be used universally...

Clear Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma: Diagnostic Approach to Exclude the Unclear
AbstractClear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is a rare malignant odontogenic neoplasm with about 110 reported cases to date. CCOC has a high recurrence and metastatic potential, and thus, needs to be diagnosed early for improved prognosis. However, the diagnosis of CCOC can be challenging as numerous other clear cell-rich entities present similar histological features. A final diagnosis of CCOC requires meticulous histopathological observation and a planned exclusion of other entities by employing special stains and immunohistochemistry. The present case report aims to add another case of the rare odontogenic malignancy...
