TL;DR: ZIs present a high 12-year CSR, with most failures occurring at the early stages postoperatively, and these numbers might be underestimated, because many studies failed to mention the prevalence of these complications.

TL;DR: The purpose of the present report is to contrast and compare 2 methods of dental implant placement that uses computed tomography data for computer- aided design and computer-aided manufacturing to generate static guides for implant placement.

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that VSP for bimaxillary orthognathic surgery takes significantly less time and is less expensive than standard planning for the 3 types of cases analyzed.

TL;DR: Female adult orthognathic patients showed significant impairments in QOL and SE compared with those with mild malocclusion, and the MMG group showed significantly better RSE and OQOL values.

TL;DR: Corticotomy procedures can produce statistically and clinically meaningful temporary increases in the rate of orthodontic tooth movement with minimal side-effects.

TL;DR: Diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, renal failure, preoperative radiotherapy, and a longer duration of anesthesia were significant predictors of the occurrence of free flap failure.

TL;DR: It seems reasonable to suggest that skeletal Class II profiles and hyperdivergent growth patterns are likely associated with an increased frequency of TMJ disc displacement and degenerative disorders.

TL;DR: The authors' novel OPS was safe and well tolerated, providing positional control with considerable surgical accuracy, and simplified surgery by being independent of support from the opposite maxilla and obviating the need for classic intermaxillary occlusal splints.

TL;DR: The treatment gap between Medicaid and private insurance observed in this study should serve as an immediate policy target for health care reform because uninsured patients and patients with Medicaid are more likely to present with metastatic disease, are morelikely to not be treated definitively, and are at a higher risk of HNCSM.

TL;DR: CAD can guide mandibular angle remodeling and condyle placement and increase reconstruction accuracy without prolonging operative time by using computer-aided design and surgical navigation.

TL;DR: Immediate reconstruction of the IAN with allogeneic nerve grafting of long-span defects (≥5 cm) is a viable and predictable option to achieve useful functional sensory recovery.

TL;DR: This report contributes to existing knowledge about the hazards related to E-cigarettes by describing oral hard and soft tissue injuries from an E-cigarette explosion.

TL;DR: The "jaw-in-a-day" procedure allowed for tumor removal and full jaw reconstruction and dental rehabilitation in 1 surgery and is the second group to report on this technique.

TL;DR: For localized alveolar ridge augmentation, this meta-analysis showed that rhBMP-2 substantially increases bone height, but does not perform as well as the autograft or allograft in maxillary sinus floor augmentation.

TL;DR: Facial C-RDD lesions presented as asymptomatic, nonulcerative, red, nodular plaques with durations ranging from 1 month to a few years, and surgery was the most effective treatment method, and corticosteroids were the least effective.

TL;DR: LLLT proved effective in decreasing the intensity of pain and swelling after removal of impacted third molars and can be recommended to alleviate patients' symptoms after surgery.

TL;DR: The prophylactic use of first-generation cephalosporins, such as cefazolin, appears to be more effective than penicillin and clindamycin for preventing SSIs in orthognathic surgery.

TL;DR: In the past 10 years, there was a surge in publications on the use of the fibula free flap for mandibular reconstruction and a 3.4-fold increase in the number of patients undergoing this method of mandIBular reconstruction in the second 5-year period.

TL;DR: In this paper, the histopathologic findings of 40 human mandibular bones and the surrounding soft tissue specimens obtained from different patients who underwent surgical procedures for treatment of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws were reviewed.

TL;DR: Efficient hemostatic adjuncts exist for OS, and TXA significantly reduces IOB by an average of one third, regardless of whether it was given intravenously (IV) or applied topically.

TL;DR: CBCT is displacing 2-dimensional imaging in the published literature, academia, and private practice and should bring a predictable logic to third-party authorizations, billing, and predictable payments for this emerging technology in OMS.

TL;DR: The treatment of TMJ ankylosis with the TMJ Concepts patient-fitted total joint prosthesis in combination with fat grafting around the articulation area of the prosthesis is a viable and predictable method for improving pain levels, function, and quality of life, as well as prevention of reankylosis of the TMj.

TL;DR: Virtual surgical planning appears to achieve precise maxillary reconstruction with a vascularized fibular flap after tumor ablation, as well as an ideal facial appearance and function after dental rehabilitation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the efficiency and reliability of telemedicine consultations for preoperative assessment of patients, and found that the tele-consultation is as reliable as those performed by traditional methods.

TL;DR: AutoBT, which was first reported for guided bone regeneration, showed that the corticocancellous bone that had formed had been maintained successfully with an implant after an average follow-up of 5 years, consistent with those of other short-term follow- up studies on AutoBT.

TL;DR: The data presented in this study show an increasing demand for the use of TMJ TJR devices in the management of end-stage TMJ disorders to the year 2030.

TL;DR: Knot security depends on suture material, tying technique, and number of throws, but is independent of suture size, and Vicryl had the greatest knot security and silk had the least.

TL;DR: The ACS NSQIP SRC is not a useful risk-stratifying metric for patients undergoing major head and neck reconstruction with microvascular fibular free flaps and does not accurately predict hospital LOS for this same patient cohort.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that miR-340 might act as a molecular switch that contributes to the regulation of glycolysis in OSCC by regulating Glut1 expression.

TL;DR: The study showed that human dental pulp stem cells are an additional cell resource for repairing maxillary alveolar defects in rats and constitute a promising model for reconstruction of human maxillaryAlveolars defects in patients with cleft lip and palate.
