TL;DR: Use of ITA for gel preparation is equivalent to using calcium chloride and thrombin, without the need for special equipment and the risk of coagulopathy.

TL;DR: Surgical complications of open treatment of condylar process fractures that lead to permanent dysfunction or deformity are uncommon and are uncommon, based on this study.

TL;DR: The consequence of practically all ORN cases being located in the field of irradiation, together with tooth removal frequently being the initiating factor, should lead to a more aggressive preirradiation approach to dental pathology located within the fieldof radiation.

TL;DR: More consistent occlusal results can be expected when fractures of the mandibular condylar process are treated by open reduction, in spite of the fact that the initial displacement of the fractures was greater in patients treated byopen reduction.

TL;DR: The incidence of nonunion appears to be unchanged over time regardless of the varied and presumably advanced methods of fixation and reduction.

TL;DR: The view that the buccal fat pad is a useful, easy, and uncomplicated alternative method for the reconstruction of small to medium-sized surgical defects of the oral hard and soft tissues is supported.

TL;DR: Use of the buccal fat pad is a safe and easy method to reconstruct defects in the posterior maxilla and soft palate, and good vascularization, ease of access, and minimal donor site morbidity make it a reliable soft tissue graft.

TL;DR: There was a strong correlation between the amount of mandibular setback and the decrease in pharyngeal airway space area, and in patients who have other risk factors, for example, overweight, short necks, or large tongues, a mandIBular setback procedure could possibly predispose to the development of sleep apnea syndrome.

TL;DR: After BSSO, a prolonged neurosensory deficit is strongly related to age, the intraoperative magnitude of mandibular movement, and the degree of manipulation of the inferior alveolar nerve, and patients seem to adapt to a mild neuros Sensory deficit and report sensory function as "normal" despite slightly altered sensation.

TL;DR: Spontaneous bone regeneration can occur in large mandibular cysts without the aid of any filling materials, which simplifies the surgical procedure, decreases the economic and biologic costs, and reduces the risk of postoperative complications.

TL;DR: The data suggest that many patients can safely undergo routine outpatient oral surgical procedures without alteration of their regular therapeutic anticoagulation regimens and without additional medical intervention.

TL;DR: It is likely that loss of posterior facial height on the side of fracture in patients treated by closed methods is an adaptation that helps reestablish a new temporomandibular articulation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors document the variability in the position of the infraorbital foramen with relation to the facial midline, infra-orbital rim, supraorbital notch, and maxillary teeth.

TL;DR: Enophthalmos of 2 mm or more, which is a frequent indication for surgery, can be expected when the area of fracture is 1.9 cm2 or more or the volume of herniated orbital tissue is 0.9 mL or more.

TL;DR: Early surgical debridement, intensive medical care, and a multidisciplinary approach are advocated in the management of CNF.

TL;DR: The survival rates reported for HA-coated implants were similar to the survival rate reported for uncoated titanium implants, and if resorption of the HA coating causes late failure of implants, the yearly interval survival rates should have decreased with increased years of follow-up, but this decrease was not observed.

TL;DR: The available information about normal extraction site healing will first be summarized, then prevailing theories on the pathophysiology of localized alveolitis (AO, or ‘‘dry socket’’) as well as the alleged factors that are targets for the various preventive regimens, are reviewed.

TL;DR: Tumors of adipose tissue represent rare neoplasms of the oral cavity and Caution is required during their surgical excision to avoid recurrence, especially with infiltrating lipomas.

TL;DR: This pressure-sensitive device can be used as a simple indicator of postoperative recovery and occlusal improvement in patients following orthognathic surgery.

TL;DR: The CT scan is a valuable radiographic imaging modality to assess and follow the clinical outcome of secondary alveolar bone grafting, with good incorporation and maturation of the bone graft, and no recurrence of the oronasal fistula.

TL;DR: The occurrence of postoperative complications in the treatment of mandibular fractures is fundamentally related to the severity of the fracture rather than to the type of treatment used.

TL;DR: Maxillary DO improved the soft tissue profile by increasing nasal projection, normalizing the nasolabial angle, and making the upper lip more prominent, with improved facial balance and aesthetics.

TL;DR: Early surgical intervention and the use of HBO decreases morbidity and improves the clinical outcome of cervical necrotizing fasciitis of odontogenic origin.

TL;DR: A porcine model for mandibular DO has been developed in whichmandibular lengthening was successfully performed without latency and at a rate of 1 mm/d, and the relationships among latency, gap size, rate, and duration of fixation are poorly understood.

TL;DR: Arthrocentesis can reduce pain and dysfunction, both short- and long-term, in patients with anterior disc displacement, and an 88% success rate was achieved.
