Overcoming the Limitations of Conventional Orthognathic Surgery: A Novel Approach Using Implate.

: This manuscript addresses the limitations of traditional orthognathic surgery in achieving both functional and aesthetic correction in patients with Class II malocclusion and severe mandibular retrusion. Current techniques often struggle to simultaneously address mandibular deficiency and inadequate transverse dimension, leading to unsatisfactory outcomes. : Seven male patients underwent bimaxillary osteotomy with mandibular advancement.

Advancing Orthodontic Aesthetics: Exploring the Potential of Injectable Composite Resin Techniques for Enhanced Smile Transformations.

The injection moulding technique (IMT) is a minimally invasive restorative treatment. This technique enables the application of thin, flowable composite layers into a stable, transparent silicone index that serves as a mould. Due to the fluid properties of the composite, it efficiently fills the silicone tray and seamlessly integrates with the tooth structure, often obviating tooth preparation and preserving overall tooth integrity.

Facial Lymphedema Following Head and Neck Tumor Resection: Preliminary Experience of Supermicrosurgical Treatment With LVA-Report of Three Cases.

Facial lymphedema (FL) is a potential complication following head-and-neck tumor (HNT) therapy. Conservative management is often difficult, and there is limited literature on surgical treatments for FL. This report presents three cases of FL treated with lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA).

Effectiveness of Resective Surgery in of the Jaws: A Retrospective Multicenter Observational Study.

Ameloblastoma is a rare, benign, odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin, characterized by locally aggressive, expansive growth. Treatment is controversial due to the risk of relapse. The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to evaluate the effectiveness of complete resection in cases of , which is considered at a higher risk of recurrence.

Surgical Treatment and Rehabilitation Strategies for Upper and Lower Extremity Lymphedema: A Comprehensive Review.

Lymphedema is a chronic disabling condition affecting a growing number of patients worldwide. Although lymphedema is not life-threatening, several reports underlined detrimental consequences in terms of distress, pain, functional impairment, and infections with a relevant decrease in quality of life. Currently, there is no cure, and the therapeutic management of this condition aims at slowing down the disease progression and preventing secondary complications.

Reducing complications in reconstruction of the cervical esophagus with anterolateral thigh flap: The five points protocol.

Patients suffering from hypopharyngeal cancer commonly present in the advanced stage and undergo a circumferential pharyngolaryngectomy. The possibility to reconstruct the esophagus and achieve an oral alimentation can significantly reduce the additional burden of a jejunostomy. The cervical esophagus is usually reconstructed with jejunal free flap (JFF) or fasciocutaneous free flap such as the anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap.

Soft palate reconstruction with free jejunum flap: Impact on the velopharyngeal insufficiency.

If inadequately reconstructed, large resections of the soft palate inevitably cause velopharyngeal insufficiency, nasal regurgitation and reduce speech intelligibility. A series of 12 free Jejunal flaps are presented, with 28.5 months median follow up (IQR 10.

Perforator-based Adipofascial Flaps and ADM: A Novel Combined Approach to Distal Lower Extremity Defects.

Unlabelled: Due to the wide spectrum of lower extremity defect presentation, various reconstructive techniques are available. Classic adipofascial flaps are still a second choice. The authors described a new multistage reconstructive approach with perforator-based pedicled adipofascial flap.

Restoring blood flow to the lateral plantar artery after elevation of an instep flap or medialis pedis flap.

The instep flap and medialis pedis flap are both originate based on the medial plantar artery. The medialis pedis flap is based from the deep branch and the instep flap is based from the superficial branch. To increase the axial rotation, it is acceptable to ligate the lateral plantar artery.

Genital Lymphedema and How to Deal with It: Pearls and Pitfalls from over 38 Years of Experience with Unusual Lymphatic System Impairment.

: Conservative treatment represents an essential pillar of lymphedema management, along with debulking and physiologic surgeries. Despite the consistent number of treatment options, there is currently no agreement on their indications and possible combinations. When dealing with unusual lymphedema presentation as in the genitalia (Genital Lymphedema-GL), treatment choice becomes even more difficult.

The triple conjoined scapular-latissimus dorsi-groin flap for reconstruction of long lower extremity degloving injury: A case report.

Since the introduction of the angiosome concept, many attempts have been made to push the dimensional limits of free tissue transfers. While initially limited by the boundaries of random vascularization of adjacent angiosomes, wider flaps were transferred by combining contiguous source vessels. Combined flaps, either chimeric or conjoined, represent nowadays the largest reconstructive options in the human body.

Reconstruction of the Nose: Management of Nasal Cutaneous Defects According to Aesthetic Subunit and Defect Size. A Review.

The nose represents the most common site for the presentation of cutaneous cancer, especially in sun-exposed areas: ala, dorsum, and tip. Even the smallest loss of substance can create aesthetic and psychosocial concerns for patients; therefore, surgeons who perform nasal reconstruction should be strictly confident with the pertinent surgical anatomy in order to tailor the procedure to the patient's condition and needs. Radical tumor excision and satisfactory aesthetic and functional results are primary targets.

The integration of orthodontic miniscrews under mechanical loading: a pre-clinical study in rabbit.

Introduction: Orthodontic miniscrews are an increasingly popular choice to achieve absolute anchorage. The temporary use of miniscrews and their recent introduction have limited the debate over the biological aspect of the materials to that of the surface that permeates the field of dental implants. The aim of the present study was to investigate the integration of grade 5 titanium mini-implants with machined or sand blasted acid etched surface (SAE) under mechanical load in a rabbit tibia model of implant integration.
