Fitting accuracy of preformed osteosynthesis plates for zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures.

Background: Preformed osteosynthesis plates are a novel treatment option for the fixation of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. A preformed plate may improve the reduction accuracy, as an accurate fit and sufficient fixation possibilities are provided.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the virtual fitting accuracy of preformed anatomical osteosynthesis zygoma plates and to assess whether their shape and size are adequate for ZMC fracture treatment.

Redefining and Identifying Evidence-Based Indications for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation in Mandibular Condylar Fractures: A Comprehensive Systematic Review and Evidence Analysis.

A major controversy in maxillofacial surgery practice is the management of mandibular condylar fractures (CFs). The debate revolves around open versus closed treatment, rather than identifying clear indications whereby open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is the most viable treatment modality. Opinions regarding precise indications for ORIF remain unclear and non-uniform.

Multimodal Prehabilitation in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery: A Feasibility Study.

Background: Head and neck cancer (HNC) incidence is increasing, and surgery is frequently indicated as curative treatment. Unfortunately, complications and long-term functional impairment are common. Recent promising results of multimodal prehabilitation in colorectal cancer surgery show improved recovery and functional outcomes.

[Treatment of bruxism with botulinum toxin: think twice!].

A recent publication in the Nederlands Tijdschrift Voor Tandheelkunde (Dutch Journal of Dentistry) suggests botulinum toxin as a primary treatment for bruxism, especially for severe complaints of teeth grinding or jaw clenching. However, in the opinion of Lobbezoo et al., some outdated views on bruxism are used, and botulinum toxin is incorrectly classified as safe, according to them.
