Subperiosteal implants constructed with digital technology: A systematic review
ConclusionsSubperiosteal implants designed and constructed using digital technology are a promising treatment in the short term. Attention should be directed to decrease the biological complication. Correct designing, implanting, fixing, and patient selection and maintenance are critical for the success of the treatment. Longer prospective studies with larger population are needed to view the effect on hard and soft tissue. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Prevalence of lingual sensory impairment following bilateral sagittal split osteotomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionIt is important for healthcare professionals to be aware of this issue, despite the relatively low rate of lingual nerve deficit after BSSO. Additional research will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying factors contributing to lingual nerve injury, leading to improved preventive measures and treatment strategies. Furthermore, insights gained from future studies will enable healthcare professionals to inform patients about the potential complications and manage their expectations before undergoing BSSO.

Critical-sized marginal defects around implants in the rabbit mandible
ConclusionsThe dimensions of the defect strongly influenced the healing so that a circumferential marginal defect of 10 mm around an implant in the mandible body should be considered a critical-sized defect. The presence of the implant and of residues of teeth might have strongly influenced the healing. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on maxillofacial trauma surgery in Germany - implications from the national DRG database
ConclusionsDuring the COVID 19 pandemic there has been a shift in the number, composition and etiology of maxillofacial fracture surgeries. Measures of social distancing and personal risk avoidance had a societal positive effect on the frequency of facial injuries. This stands in contrast to the drastic increase in fractures of elderly people who should be protected primarily by the measures taken. These results can help to understand these influences better in future pandemics.Trial registrationGerman Clinical Trials Register No: DRKS00032778. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Relationship between tumor thickness and GATA3 immunoexpression in lip and tongue squamous cell carcinomas
ConclusionsA greater tumor thickness was found in OTSCCs, which was correlated with lower expression ofGATA3, suggesting that this protein is involved in the inhibition of proliferative, migratory, and invasive capacity. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

The success rates and outcomes of mandibular third molar coronectomy: 167 cases
ConclusionCoronectomy offers a successful strategy for management of high risk M3M. The treatment outcomes can be improved with careful case selection and adjusting surgical technique, including assessment of root morphology, incomplete crown sectioning technique and avoidance of lingual retraction. Reporting of coronectomy success as a factor of surgical outcome, presence or absence of permanent IAN injury, persistent symptoms or any other long-standing complications (such as LN injury), and the need for re-operation accounting for root migration status may be a useful tool to measure coronectomy outcomes.

Solitary fibrous tumor of the parapharyngeal space: report of 2 cases and a literature review
This study aims to report two cases of SFT in the PS and to perform a literature review on this topic. Two patients undergoing surgical resection of a SFT in the PS, were reported. A literature review on SFT of the PS, was also performed. Two patients were analyzed. Both patients underwent surgical resection, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, for SFT arising from the PS. The postoperative course was uneventful and both patients recovered well after the procedure. No recurrences were diagnosed during the followup. SFT of the PS is an infrequent entity. Surgical resection is the most used treatment, and adjuvant radiation s...

Minimally invasive intraoral removal of mesiodens via a transnasal, non-endoscopic approach: a systematic review on the purpose of 10 cases
This study advocates a minimally invasive technique that involves vestibulotomy between the central incisors, facilitating direct and rapid access through nasal floor dissection, minimizing comorbidities. A systematic review was performed, following the PRISMA guidelines, apropos on ten clinical cases reported in this study. The MEDLINE/Pubmed and Web of Science databases were searched. Several variables were considered and are presented comprehensively in tables and figures. Additionally, 10 case reports with mesiodens in the maxilla were submitted to surgical treatment using a minimally invasive intraoral transnasal disi...

Denosumab as treatment of central giant cell granuloma of the jaws. a scoping review
This study aimed to perform a scoping review of CGCG treated with Denosumab. The research question was: What is Denosumab ’s effectiveness in treating CGCG of the jaws? Studies that used Denosumab as a treatment for CGCGs in the jaws were selected following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, using Pubmed/Medline, Scopus, and Springer Link databases, among others. Demographics, clinical information, dosing, efficacy, adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and imaging tests used to assess the evolution of the lesions were extracted. Twenty-one studies were selected. Sixty patients with a mean age of 23.2 years were treated with Denosumab, 42...

Investigation of orthognathic surgery indicators —combination with index of orthognathic functional treatment needs (IOFTN) and maxillofacial morphometric analysis
ConclusionIOFTN is a highly sensitive and useful indicator as a criterion for orthognathic surgery. However, in the choice of treatment strategy, maxillofacial morphometric analyses and the patient's desired goal are important. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
