Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors of non-reconstructive surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. The study found that implant surface characteristics were the strongest predictors for implant loss, while implant length, suppuration at baseline, and disease severity were also relevant factors.

Accuracy of formula-based volume and image segmentation-based volume in calculation of preoperative cystic jaw lesions' volume

Yasmein Maher El-beblawy, Ahmed Mohamed Bakry, Maha Eshaq Amer Mohamed

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of volume measurements for preoperative cystic jaw lesions using different software packages, showing significant differences between formula-based volume measurements and software results. Despite variations, the inter-observer reliability using different software for measuring cystic lesions was very good, with InVesalius software showing the highest consistency in volume measurements. Additionally, the accuracy of volume analysis with InVesalius software in determining periapical defects in human cadaver mandibles compared favorably to true volume measurements, highlighting the potential of open-source software in providing robust, user-friendly, and cost-effective options for computer-aided volume assessment.

Does increasing vertical dimension of occlusion in centric relation affect muscular activity? An electromyographic study

Carlo E. Poggio, Daniele Manfredini

Summary: This study investigated the effect of altering maxillo-mandibular relation on jaw-elevator muscle activity. The results showed that increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) from maximal intercuspal position (MIP) to a raised centric relation (CR) position did not have a negative effect on maximum voluntary clenching. In fact, the masseter muscles showed a significant increase in activity, while the anterior temporalis muscles were not affected significantly.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the radiation dose delivered to medical radiation workers during low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) with Au-198 grains and Ir-192 pins for oral cancer. It was found that Ir-192 pin LDR-BT resulted in higher doses delivered to medical radiation workers compared to Au-198 grain LDR-BT.

Redefining precision and efficiency in orthognathic surgery through virtual surgical planning and 3D printing: a narrative review

Yong-Chan Lee, Seong-Gon Kim

Summary: Orthognathic surgery has traditionally relied on traditional surgical planning, but the advent of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and 3D printing technologies has revolutionized the field, bringing unprecedented precision and customization. VSP allows for real-time adjustments and reduces planning time, while 3D printing enhances the predictability of surgical outcomes. The integration of VSP and 3D printing offers innovative solutions that surpass the limitations of traditional methods.

Three-dimensional assessment of periodontal support of lower incisors for skeletal Class II malocclusion undergoing presurgical orthodontic treatment with different vertical skeletal patterns

Hangmiao Lyu, Huimin Ma, Xiaoxia Wang, Li Xu, Jianxia Hou, Yijiao Zhao, Weiran Li, Xiaotong Li

Summary: This study aimed to compare the changes in periodontal support of mandibular anterior teeth in Class II malocclusion patients with different facial divergence and analyze the factors influencing bone remodeling. Three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) reconstruction technology was used to measure the alveolar bone morphology, tooth movement, and alveolar bone volume in 48 patients before and after presurgical orthodontic treatment. The results showed that the periodontal support changes varied in different vertical skeletal patterns. Lingual alveolar bone resorption was a significant risk in different vertical types. It is important to investigate bone remodeling and carefully plan tooth movement to avoid alveolar bone deterioration. Three-dimensional measurements based on CBCT construction provide additional information compared to traditional two-dimensional measurements.

Meta-analysis of the survival rate and postoperative infection rate of primary and secondary implants after vascularized fibula transplantation for reconstruction of jaw defects

Yi-bo Liu, Di Wu, Jun-yi Wang, Xiao-han Lun, Wei Dai

Summary: This study compared the survival rate and infection rates between primary and secondary implantation through meta-analysis. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the survival rate or infection rates between the two methods. Primary implantation can be used to reconstruct dentition with less waiting time, reduce the impact of radiotherapy, and improve the quality of life for patients.

Summary: Head and neck chondrosarcoma (HNCS) exhibits diverse imaging findings depending on its origin and pathologic subtype. HNCS should be differentiated from bone tumors with internal calcification and impact on adjacent bone. When diagnosing slowly-growing soft tissue tumors, HNCS should be considered, even with low possibility.
