Accuracy and precision of the CTA perforator localization technique for virtual surgical planning of composite osteocutaneous fibular free flaps in head and neck reconstruction.

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Accuracy and precision of the CTA perforator localization technique for virtual surgical planning of composite osteocutaneous fibular free flaps in head and neck reconstruction. Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Virtual surgical planning (VSP), computer aided design/computer aided modeling (CAD/CAM), and three-dimensional (3D) printing technology have been shown to improve surgical accuracy and efficiency in head and neck reconstruction. However, persisting criticism of the technology is that it does not adequately address the soft-tissue related aspects of the reconstructive surgery. Prior publication on the computed tomographic angiography (CTA) perforator localization technique has demonstrated how soft tissue planning can be incorporated directly into existing VSP workflows.

Pediatric-Antiresorptive Use: Should We Intervene on Third Molars Early?

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Commentary: Pediatric-Antiresorptive Use: Should We Intervene on Third Molars Early? Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery The recent article by Cimba et al raises an important question that has not been fully answered by the current literature.1 Pediatric patients affected by various skeletal disorders have received antiresorptive medications since around 1998.2 Historically, pamidronate has been the treatment of choice with a recent shift to zoledronate. To date, there have been no reported cases of medication related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) in the pediatric population. The reason for this has not been fully elucidated.

Are Incisional Biopsies Reliable to Select Definitive Treatment in Patients with Ameloblastoma of the Jaws? A 15-year Interdisciplinary Retrospective Study

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Are Incisional Biopsies Reliable to Select Definitive Treatment in Patients with Ameloblastoma of the Jaws? A 15-year Interdisciplinary Retrospective Study Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Ameloblastomas are tumors of odontogenic epithelium that, although benign, can have a locally aggressive course causing significant morbidity. WHO classifies ameloblastomas as 1 of 3 variants: solid/multicystic, unicystic, and peripheral. Resection, the standard treatment, is deemed curative, but can be debilitating to the patient. Unicystic subtype is considered less aggressive and could be treated with enucleation and curettage. The mercurial presentation of ameloblastomas makes the chosen treatment modality essential in decreasing the recurrence rates and associated morbidity.

Is Bone Grafting during Implant Placement a Protective Factor against the Development of Peri-implantitis? A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Is Bone Grafting during Implant Placement a Protective Factor against the Development of Peri-implantitis? A Retrospective Cohort Analysis Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery This study aims to identify if the use of bone grafting at time of implant placement is a protective factor against the development of peri-implantitis. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center from 2006 to 2013. Physician encounter notes within three months of implant placement were used to gather data about patients ' health status. Operative report notes were used to assess the use of bone grafting at time of implant placement. Implant status was assessed using dental encounter notes and radiographs from follow-up appointments at one, three, five and 10 years.

Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Mandibular Condylar Fractures: Factors Influencing Radiographic Anatomical Reduction

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Mandibular Condylar Fractures: Factors Influencing Radiographic Anatomical Reduction Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Mandible fractures occur frequently, accounting for approximately 70% of all facial fractures. Of those, fractures of the mandibular condyle account for 25-35%.1,2 Over several decades, there has been much controversy over the standard treatment method for condylar fractures, with increasing support for open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). The aim of this study is to determine negative and positive factors that may influence radiographic reduction outcomes after ORIF of mandibular condylar fractures.

Oral Rehabilitation of an Adult Cleft Palate Patient with Zygomatic Implant-supported Obturator Prosthesis: A Case Report

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Oral Rehabilitation of an Adult Cleft Palate Patient with Zygomatic Implant-supported Obturator Prosthesis: A Case Report Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery With advancement in medical services and their accessibility across the country, as well as growing awareness among the patient population, it is rare to find an adult with an untreated cleft lip and/or palate nowadays. Treatment of these patients to restore form and function can be challenging, often yielding less-than-satisfactory outcomes. In current literature, there have been case reports of patients with atrophic maxilla or severe maxillary defects after oncologic resections, where zygomatic implants have been utilized for fabrication of a fixed maxillary prosthesis.

Modified Lip Revision Surgery For The Severe Whistle Lip Deformity In Bilateral Cleft Lip

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Modified Lip Revision Surgery For The Severe Whistle Lip Deformity In Bilateral Cleft Lip Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Whistle deformity is a sequela of primary surgical repair of the bilateral cleft lip that leads to a vertical tissue deficiency and a non-functional orbicularis oris muscle in the medial portion of the upper lip. This sequel is significantly limiting functionally and esthetically. We propose a complete labial revision with a secondary cheiloplasty of Mulliken and a submucosal inferiorly based flap in the central tubercle to increase the volume at this usually deficient area.

Intraoperative flap warming: The novel use of a sterile cardiac forced warm air blanket for maintaining optimal flap perfusion.

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Intraoperative flap warming: The novel use of a sterile cardiac forced warm air blanket for maintaining optimal flap perfusion. Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery The two-team approach in major head and neck/reconstructive surgery can occasionally lead to delays between flap harvest and detachment, due to the complexity and length of the ablative procedure. In order to minimize the potential for flap cooling and the adverse impact on microcirculation, active warming can be beneficial.(1) Intraoperative flap warming to either maintain or improve circulation during free flap harvesting has been performed with a variety of passive and active techniques,(2) however limitations such as a lack of consistent temperature regulation, lack of sterility, inability to directly visualise the flap or the need for acquisition of new equipment for a niche area meant that an ideal solution was lacking.

Cellular fibroadenoma versus phyllodes tumors: A pre‐operative diagnostic approach based on radiological and cytological features

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Cellular fibroadenoma versus phyllodes tumors: A pre‐operative diagnostic approach based on radiological and cytological features Via Diagnostic Cytopathology Abstract Objective This study has been designed in an effort to identify the clinico-radiological and cytological features that could effectively help in differentiating cellular fibroadenoma (CFA) and phyllodes tumors (PT), which have several overlapping characteristics. Method Histologically proven cases of CFA and PT were reviewed. Cytological features were assessed and categorized. Clinical and radiological details were also evaluated and he the two groups were compared statistically. Results A total of 43 FA and 52 PT were specimens were reviewed. Mean age and tumor size for CFA and PT were 26.05 and 36.94 years, and 3.7 and 6.4 cm, respectively. Univariate analysis and regression models revealed that age >30 years, BIRADS grade of 4 or more, marked cellularity of stromal fragments, more than 30% spindle cells in background cell population and presence of traversing blood vessels in stromal fragments increased the odds of a tumor being phyllodes. The binary logistic regression model was able to predict PT accurately in 87.2% cases (p <  .001). Conclusion PT and CFA could be differentiated if cytological findings are cautiously correlated clinically and radiologically. Age, BIRADS category along with assessment of stromal fragments and background population can effectively distinguish between CFA and PT. View on the web Inoreader.
