Does the use of a “wrap” in three-dimensional surgical planning influence the bony margin status of benign and malignant neoplasms of the oral, head, and neck region? An initial investigation
ConclusionThe results of this preliminary study suggest three-dimensional surgical planning with wrap margins is a predictable method to obtain negative bony margins in benign and malignant disease of the maxillofacial complex. Further studies will focus on compiling prospective data to solidify the accuracy and predictability of using a wrap to obtain negative bony margins. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Negative-pressure pulmonary edema following maxillofacial surgery: recognize to prevent further complications
We report a case of NPPE in young adult patient who underwent an eventful general anesthesia. The patient presented laryngospasm followed by acute respiratory distress with pink frothy sputum. The NPPE was initially misdiagnosed, and a preventable tracheostomy was performed. NPPE was managed with mechanical ventilation and diuretics, and the patient had full recovery. Every anesthesiologist should be aware of the diagnosis of NPPE. Early recognition and management are essential to prevent the morbidity associated with NPPE in young healthy patients.

Fourteen cases of acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis: is there a place for less aggressive surgical treatment?
ConclusionEarly surgical debridement, antifungal agents, and treatment of the underlying disease remain the cornerstones of AIFRS management. Prognosis is overall defined by the underlying disease and in some selected cases, medical treatment alone could be a reasonable option. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Pseudogout growing from the temporomandibular joint into the middle cranial fossa
We present a patient with CPDD mimicking a malignant tumor of the TMJ. A 53-year-old woman presented with progressive pain and a slow-growing swelling of the left TMJ. Imaging showed an extensive mass in the infratemporal fossa extending into the middle cranial fossa and compressing the temporal lobe. Assuming a potential malignancy, we excised the growth, which extended into the dura. We covered the resulting tissue defect within the primary surgery using a microsurgically anastomosed scapular flap and performed further reconstructive surgeries. Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals were found in the histopathologic ex...

Did physical aggression in women increase during the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic? A perspective of facial trauma
ConclusionPhysical aggression against women increased during the period of mandatory social isolation that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. Health professionals, including emergency services professionals, must be trained to identify victims and refer them to specialized care. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Relationship between dental implant macro-design and osseointegration: a systematic review
ConclusionsBased on the studies included in this systematic review, implant macro-geometry provides influences on osseointegration. In this sense, the various isolated characteristics (thread type, thread pitch, thread depth, face angle) should be studied so that the implant geometry can balance the compressive stress and tensile stress and produce a minimum shear force.

Does the type of planning in orthognathic surgery influence patient satisfaction?
ConclusionPatients whose surgeries were virtually planes were significantly more likely than model surgery patients to be satisfied with their post-operative appearance as well as with their decision to have orthognathic surgery. CASS has proven to be an accurate, time-saving, and potentially cost-saving tool for surgeons. Based on the results of this study, the type of surgical planning method matters for post-operative patient satisfaction with their appearance. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
