Non-odontogenic maxillofacial infections – a 17-years retrospective cohort study
ConclusionsLonger hospital stays were associated with older age ( ≥ 65 years), smoking, systemic diseases, type of treatment, involvement of multiple anatomical regions, and the need for additional surgery. Most of the cultured microorganisms wereStaphylococcus species. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Assessment of temporomandibular joint disc position and skeletal stability after bimaxillary surgery
ConclusionThis study suggested that TMJ disc position, including ADD, could not affect skeletal stability, including the maxilla and distal segment after bimaxillary osteotomy, and short-term relapse could be related to the movement amount or angle change by surgery for all measurements.

Advanced platelet rich fibrin demonstrates improved osteogenic induction potential in human periodontal ligament cells, growth factor production and mechanical properties as compared to leukocyte and platelet fibrin and injectable platelet rich fibrin
ConclusionIt was determined that although L-PRF exhibits greater size and weight in comparison to A-PRF and i-PRF, A-PRF has superior mechanical properties, increased growth factor releases of TGF-b, PDGF-BB, and VEGF as well as superior cell viability, alkaline phosphatase production, and mineralization on human periodontal ligament cells.Clinical relevanceBased on these findings, A-PRF can be recommended for improved delivery of growth factors and osteogenesis whereas L-PRF is better-suited for applications relying on the size of membrane.

Comparison of sinusitis rate after sinus lift procedure and zygomatic implant surgery: a meta-analysis
ConclusionThe sinusitis occurrence rate was higher after zygomatic implant placement than after sinus lift procedure and this occurrence was different depending on the used technique. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Orbital reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the role of patient-specific implants
AbstractThe purpose of this study is to execute an evidence-based review answering the following question (PICO): “Do patient-specific implants (PSI), manufactured or designed using computer-assisted technology, improve outcomes (orbital volume change, enophthalmos, diplopia, and operative duration) compared to conventional methods in orbital reconstruction following traumatic orbital injury in the adult pati ent population?” We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Inclusion criteria included any comparative paper whereby computer-assisted technology was used in the pref...

Evaluation of crestal sinus floor elevations using versah burs with simultaneous implant placement, at residual bone height ≥ 2.0 _ & lt; 6.0 mm. A prospective clinical study
ConclusionThe current study found that at highly atrophic posterior maxilla with a residual bone height of ≥ 2.0 _ < 6.0 mm, osseodensification using Versah drills was effective in crestal sinus elevation with no membrane perforation, which was confirmed by cone-beam CT scan postoperatively, and showed higher primary and secondary implant stability.

Comparison of two surgical techniques (HOO vs. BSSO) for mandibular osteotomies in orthognathic surgery —a 10-year retrospective study
ConclusionThe HOO presents a possible alternative to the BSSO since newly developed osteosynthesis material significantly reduces the risk of material failure. The BSSO is accompanied by higher risks of developing complications like a bad split and sensory disorders but, however, remains the standard for large anterior –posterior transpositions of the mandible.

Clinical and demographic factors associated with the effectiveness of temporomandibular joint arthroscopy
ConclusionBased on the results, we recommend early intervention as soon as an ID in the TMJ is detected. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Comparative evaluation of nasolabial flap and buccal fat pad flap in the surgical management of oral submucous fibrosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionOur meta-analysis found that nasolabial flap was better than buccal fat pad flap in terms of mouth opening restoration after OSMF reconstructive surgery. Also, the included studies found better results, favoring nasolabial flap over buccal fat pad flap in terms of oral commissural width restoration. Also, these studies reported better outcomes in terms of esthetics, favoring buccal fat pad flap. Further studies with larger sample sizes and different populations/races are needed to confirm our findings. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Surgical management of Warthin tumor: long-term follow-up of 224 patients from 2002 to 2018
ConclusionsWe consider both surgical techniques as valid. In our opinion, it is essential to study each case based on Quer ’s Classification to obtain the best surgical outcome. Based on a lower observed rate of complications such as facial nerve palsy, Frey’s syndrome, and bleeding, ECD seems to be the best option for the surgical treatment of Quer Class I lesions.
