Adoption of additive manufacturing in oral and maxillofacial surgery among university and non-university hospitals in Sweden: findings from a nationwide survey
ConclusionMajority of Swedish university hospitals and non-university hospitals have adopted AM in OMFS. The type of hospital (university or non-university hospital) has no impact on AM adoption. AM in OMFS in Sweden can be perceived to be a mature clinical application. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Use of ozone therapy in Implant Dentistry: a systematic review
ConclusionThe adjuvant use of ozone therapy may positively affect some outcomes in Implant Dentistry, both in treating pathological conditions and conducting rehabilitation (implant installation, secondary implant stability). However, as most studies have a high risk of bias and high heterogeneity, a definitive conclusion cannot be drawn. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Retrospective analysis of the predictability of using three-dimensional models for preoperative planning of the length of zygomatic implants
ConclusionOverall, the data indicates moderate agreement between the planned and surgical lengths of the ZIs and indicates that using TDMs is a predictable and reliable preoperative planning technique of the length of posterior ZIs. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Alveolar bone remodeling in virtually planned, bone-grafted vs non-grafted guided flapless implant surgery in the anterior maxilla: a cross-sectional retrospective follow-up study
ConclusionCompared with non-reconstructed patients, reconstructed patients experienced significantly more buccal bone loss at the central level of implants. The groups did not differ at the coronal level or in marginal bone loss, possibly because of the more augmented bone at the central level among reconstructed patients. Differences between planned versus actual implant positions should be considered in situations of limited bone volume at the planned implant site. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

The atrophic edentulous alveolus. A preliminary study on a new generation of subperiosteal implants
This study supports the use of fully customized subperiosteal jaw implants as a simple and reliable alternative for dental rehabilitation of atrophic edentulous cases which would otherwise require bone grafts for conventional fixed dental implant solutions. With more research, the clinical potential for this device is significant as it not only avoids the need for complex and lengthy reconstructive jaw surgery but also allows for the placement of immediate prosthetic teeth at the time of implantation.

Long-term masticatory performance and ability following closed treatment for unilateral mandibular condylar neck or base fractures: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionLong-term masticatory performance was similar in patients with a history of condylar neck or base fracture and healthy subjects; however, masticatory ability was inferior in patients compared to healthy subjects. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Acute orbital compartment syndrome due to traumatic hemorrhage: 4-year case series and relevant literature review with emphasis on its management
ConclusionsLCIC, septolysis, and careful dissection within inferotemporal orbital quadrant constitute a reliable approach for emergent orbital decompression. CT scan offers differential diagnosis of acute traumatic proptosis, but it should preferably follow LCIC. In case of OHs without pupillary abnormalities and/or impairment of visual acuity, close monitoring allowing for timely interventions is highly recommended to patients with a history of hypocoagulative status, (uncontrolled or severe) hypertension, head trauma, and decreased level of consciousness or in elderly patients suffering from dementia or without rapid acc...

The changing face of maxillofacial trauma during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns in Melbourne, Australia
ConclusionsWhile restrictions reduced rates of interpersonal violence and alcohol-related maxillofacial trauma, there was a higher proportion of injuries to females, increased falls, and domestic violence-related injuries. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
