TL;DR: This update contains revisions to the diagnosis and staging and management strategies and highlights the status of basic science research.

TL;DR: The most popular BRONJ hypothesis-manifestation of necrotic bone resulting from bisphosphonate--induced remodeling suppression--is supported mostly by indirect evidence, although recent data have shown that bisph phosphate significantly reduce remodeling in the jaw.

TL;DR: The potential benefits and actual limits of an integrated 3D virtual approach toward cone-beam computed tomography-based treatment planning of orthognathic surgery in the clinical routine are discussed comprehensively from the experience using3D virtual treatment planning clinically.

TL;DR: The accelerated osteogenic orthodontics technique provides for efficient and stable Orthodontic tooth movement and is a physiologically based treatment consistent with a regional acceleratory phenomenon and maintaining an adequate blood supply is essential.

TL;DR: Resection of BRONJ permits acceptable healing in patients taking an oral bisphosphonate medication and resection of necrotic bone of the maxilla and mandible that develops in patientsTaking bisph phosphonate medications follows a predictable course with regard to healing.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggested that stereolithographic surgical guides using CT data may be reliable in implant placement, and tooth- supported SLA surgical guides were more accurate than bone- or mucosa-supported SLA medical guides.

TL;DR: The results of this multicenter, randomized, prospective, clinical trial have shown the effectiveness and safety of rhBMP-2/ACS compared with bone graft for sinus floor augmentation.

TL;DR: The 7-step protocol consists of aggressive excision of the fibrous and/or bony ankylotic mass, coronoidectomy on the affected side, and early mobilization of the jaw in patients who undergo costochondral graft reconstruction.

TL;DR: Titanium miniplates used for anchorage now offer the possibility to apply pure bone-borne orthopedic forces between the maxilla and the mandible for 24 hours per day, avoiding any dentoalveolar compensations.

TL;DR: The need to improve the traditional surgical planning methods has led the group to develop a 3D computer-aided surgical simulation (CASS) system to plan CMF surgery, and the purpose of this article is to present the CASS planning protocol.

TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to escribe the clinical surgical procedures that comrise the PAOO procedure.

TL;DR: Preoperative computer modeling and intraoperative navigation provides a useful guide for and presumably more accurate reconstruction of complex orbital injuries and postablative orbital defects.

TL;DR: Bone scintigraphy showed positive tracer uptake before the development of BRONJ in almost 66% of patients who had these scans before clinical evidence of frank osteonecrosis, and subsequently developedBRONJ subsequently developed in the areas identified on scints in these patients.

TL;DR: Solutions for decreasing morbidity and poor outcome of ONJ remain elusive as a devastating side effect of long-term bisphosphonate (BP) use.

TL;DR: C Crestal bone response to immediate or delayed placement of an implant into an extraction site in the maxillary anterior region with immediate provisionalization is similar regarding hard tissue changes.

TL;DR: The radiographic findings in patients with BRONJ include osteosclerosis, osteolysis, dense woven bone, a thickened lamina dura, subperiosteal bone deposition, and failure of postsurgical remodeling.

TL;DR: Osteosynthesis of mandibular fractures by miniplates and locking plates are both reliable, and are concluded to be reliable in both male and female patients.

TL;DR: Because large variations in measurements were observed, both for ALL and ICD, no fixed distance mesially from the mental foramen should be considered safe and the ALL and the ICD can be estimated from the CBCT measurement.

TL;DR: The CTX test is not predictive of the development of ONJ for an individual patient but does identify those in the "risk zone," which is a value of less than 150 pg/L to 200 pg/mL, which can be ceased to bring the patient out of the " risk zone".

TL;DR: A testing method suitable for daily clinical practice which allows to identify nerve injury, grade its severity, and monitor its recovery is identified, and a visual analog scale-based questionnaire should be used to evaluate subjective sensibility.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that pluripotential cells isolated from the pulp of human teeth expanded in vitro and differentiated into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes, demonstrating that DPSC and SHED are not only derived from a very accessible tissue resource but also capable of providing enough cells for potential clinical applications.

TL;DR: Care should be taken when using air-driven handpieces or performing endotracheal intubation/ventilation, and instructions should be given to patients after procedures violating the epithelium to reduce the incidence of subcutaneous emphysema.

TL;DR: Results of this preliminary study indicate that MMA + GTA appears to produce significant changes in airway size and shape that correlate with a decrease in RDI.

TL;DR: With proper 3-dimensional implant positioning and bone grafting into the implant-socket gap, the facial gingival level can be maintained after connective tissue grafting with single immediate tooth replacement, regardless of the initial gingivals, indicating that the thinGingival biotype can be converted to the thick gingivalent biotype morphologically and behaviorally with this procedure.

TL;DR: It is concluded that there is no significant difference in maximal interincisal opening, diet scores, and weight of the patients in both groups.

TL;DR: The benefits and risks of oral bisphosphonate use must be weighed individually and in consultation with the prescribing physician, before determining the need for temporary or permanent cessation of medication.

TL;DR: Meticulous follow-up is needed to reveal and treat failing or ailing implants once established as hopeless, they should be removed as soon as possible to prevent further bone loss.

TL;DR: How HBO has the potential to augment bone turnover by way of the signaling effects on osteoclasts, the available clinical data on HBO in the treatment of BRONJ, the ongoing randomized controlled trials of HBO, and the study-associated efforts to find biomarkers to characterize an individual's risk of developing this disease are discussed.

TL;DR: It is concluded that preparing an implant site with using surgical drill guides generates heat more than classical implant site preparation regardless of the irrigation type.
