Article Abstract
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate an alternative method for sinus augmentation through a palatal approach when complications do not allow the use of traditional approaches. A 50-year-old male patient presented with multiple previous sinus augmentation attempts. A cone beam computed tomography scan revealed bone graft material had consolidated on the buccal aspect of the lateral sinus wall only, preventing implant placement while not allowing access via a conventional lateral window technique to improve the graft bulk. A palatal approach was adopted as an alternative method of sinus entry and is presented in this case report. The authors suggest that a palatal approach technique is a safe and effective method to complete a sinus augmentation where a buccal approach is impractical.

Introduction: This in vitro study evaluated how different forces applied to the dental drill handle during static computer-assisted implant surgery influence surgical guide deformation and implant placement accuracy.
Methods: Twenty-four virtual implants were divided into six groups (0-10 N, in 2 N increments). Surgical guides were scanned under loaded conditions, and deviations were quantified by superimposition with the baseline model.

Airway obstruction is a distressing and potentially life-threatening complication in patients with advanced head and neck cancers, particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the pharynx. This case highlights the clinical, ethical, and interdisciplinary complexities involved in managing airway compromise in the context of progressive disease and limited treatment options. A 75-year-old man with recurrent SCC of the soft palate, nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx, recently initiated on pembrolizumab and radiation therapy, presented with dysphagia, stridor, and intermittent tumor bleeding.

Over the past decade, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have found genetic variants associated with elevated risk for nonsyndromic orofacial cleft (NSOFC). In the post-GWAS era of NSOFC genetic research, an important aim is to identify the pathogenic variants that influence craniofacial development processes, towards understanding how they lead to disease manifestation. However, two major challenges hinder the translation of GWAS results into a mechanistic understanding.

Regional flaps have been described for secondary reconstruction of cleft palate, so the facial artery musculo mucosal (FAMM) flap and the buccinator myomucosal flap are examples. The aim of this study is to assess the complication rate of 2 different flaps for fistula repair.
