Introduction
Distraction osteogenesis is a powerful tool in craniomaxillofacial surgery, allowing for large advancements of osteotomized segments in the setting of a restrictive soft tissue envelope. Despite its benefits, distraction can have negative functional consequences. We present a case of a patient with Crouzon syndrome who developed reduced mouth opening capability after a Le Fort III midfacial advancement with rigid external distraction.Technique
Radiographic evaluation revealed that the coronoid process was restricting the normal excursion of the mandible by contacting the posterior zygoma. The patient was subsequently treated with a bilateral coronoidectomy via an intraoral approach, which improved his interincisal opening. Maximum interincisal distance was improved from 18 mm to 33 mm following bilateral cornoid resection.Conclusion
We report coronoid impingement as a potential complication after Le Fort III distraction. Such a finding suggests the need for a detailed vector analysis in cases undergoing midface advancement with distraction. Post-distraction coronoidectomy is a useful surgical procedure to treat mouth opening limitation due to coronoid impingement against the zygoma after midfacial advancement.2.

Introduction
Bone marrow (BM) derived pleuripotent undifferentiated stem cells represent a promising population for supporting new concepts in cellular therapy.Aim
The aim of this study is to evaluate the versatility of pleuripotent undifferentiated stem cells derived from BM aspiration and its applications in oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures.Materials and Methods
A total of 30 patients out of which 15 were with hard tissue defects (cystic lesions n = 6, post surgical alveolar defects n = 4, peri implant defects n = 3, alveolar clefts n = 2) and 15 soft tissue lesions (leukoplakia and lichen planus n = 6, oral submucous fibrosis n = 7, post traumatic soft tissue loss n = 2) were included in the study on randomized clinical basis. The patients received autologous BM derived mononuclear cells which were being locally delivered into the lesion and followed up. The parameters used were (1) To compare and evaluate the bone regeneration by radiographic assessment at the end of 3rd and 6th month postoperatively. (2) Duration of the procedure. (3) Clinical improvement in the management of soft tissue lesions. (4) Assessment of wound healing by Vancouver burn scar assessment of wound. (5) Safety, postoperative infections and complications.Results
For hard tissue lesions CT scans and OPG revealed adequate regenerated bone, bridging the defect after 3 months. Hounsfield units of regenerated bone after 6 months were more or less similar to native bone which was statistically significant (unpaired t test = p < 0.05). For soft tissue lesions (1) 7 cases of OSMF showed adequate clinical mouth opening (one way anova test = p < 0.05), reduction in burning sensation and blanching of mucosa, (2) 6 cases of leukoplakia and lichen planus and 2 cases of post traumatic soft tissue defects showed good clinical improvement by Vancouver burn scar assessment of wound index.Conclusion
The study shows that there is a definite beneficial effect in bone regeneration and soft tissue wound healing with the use of BM-derived mononuclear cells.3.

Purpose
This study was conducted to evaluate the operative time, blood loss, hemoglobin drop, blood transfusion, and length of hospital stay in orthognathic surgery.Methods
A 10-year retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (with or without genioplasty), Le Fort I osteotomy (with or without genioplasty), or any combination of these procedures. A total of 271 patients were included.Results
The age range was 17 to 49 years, with a mean age of 24.13 ± 4.51 years. Approximately 62% of patients underwent double-jaw surgery. The most common procedure was bilateral sagittal split with Le Fort I (37%). The average operative time was 3.96 ± 1.25 h. The mean estimated blood loss was 345.2 ± 149.74 mL. Approximately 9% of patients received intraoperative blood transfusion. The mean hemoglobin drop in the non-transfusion cases was 2.38 ± 0.89 g/dL. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 1.85 ± 0.83 days. Only one patient was admitted to the ICU for one night.Conclusions
In orthognathic surgery, blood loss is relatively minor, blood transfusion is frequent, and ICU admission is unlikely. Operative time, blood loss, blood transfusion, and the complexity of the surgical procedure can significantly increase the length of hospital stay. Males may bleed more than females in orthognathic surgery. Hemoglobin drop can be overestimated due to hemodilution in orthognathic surgery, which may influence the decision to use blood transfusion.4.

Objective
Pilomatrixoma (calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe) is a benign soft tissue tumour arising from dermis or subcutaneous tissue which should be considered in differential diagnosis of preauricular lesions especially when skin fixation is present.Case Report
Twenty-three year old male referred to our clinic with complaint of left preauricular swelling over 18 months which enlarged and became painful in the last 2 months. Because the lesion showed signs of infection, surgery was planned after medical therapy was completed. FNAB suggest pleomorphic adenoma as preliminary diagnosis. US or MRI showed no specific feature.Treatment and Prognosis
Total excision, superficial parotidectomy with facial nerve sparing was performed after regression of infectious signs. Postoperatively no recurrence was detected.Conclusion
Pilomatrixomas are benign tumours but have diagnostic difficulties according to clinical and cytologic findings. This rare lesion should be kept in mind to avoid misdiagnosis as malign parotid tumours, particularly in the presence of skin change.5.

Objectives
The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of different soft tissue augmentation/correction methods in terms of increasing the peri-implant width of keratinized mucosa (KM) and/or gain of soft tissue volume during second-stage surgery.Materials and methods
Screening of two databases, MEDLINE (PubMed) and EMBASE (OVID), and hand search of related articles, were performed. Human studies reporting on soft tissue augmentation/correction methods around submucosally osseointegrated implants during second-stage surgery up to July 31, 2015 were considered. Quality assessment of the selected full-text articles was performed according to the Cochrane collaboration’s tool to assess the risk of bias.Results
Overall, eight prospective studies (risk of bias: high) and two case series (risk of bias: high) were included. Depending on the surgical technique and graft material used, the enlargement of keratinized tissue (KT) ranged between ?0.20 and 9.35 mm. An apically positioned partial-thickness flap/vestibuloplasty (APPTF/VP) in combination with a free gingival graft (FGG) or a xenogeneic graft material (XCM) was most effective. Applying a roll envelope flap (REF) or an APPTF in combination with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG), mean increases in soft tissue volumes of 2.41 and 3.10 mm, respectively, were achieved. Due to the heterogeneity of study designs, no meta-analysis could be performed.Conclusions
Within the limitations of this review, regarding the enlargement of peri-implant KT, the APPTF in the maxilla and the APPTF/VP in combination with FGG or XCM in the lower and upper jaw seem to provide acceptable outcomes. To augment peri-implant soft tissue volume REF in the maxilla or APPTF + SCTG in the lower and upper jaw appear to be reliable treatment options.Clinical relevance
The localization in the jaw and the clinical situation are crucial for the decision which second-stage procedure should be applied.6.

Aim
This study aims to evaluate the early postoperative healing of papillary incision wounds and its association with (1) patient/site-related factors and technical (surgical) aspects as well as with (2) 6-month clinical outcomes following buccal single flap approach (SFA) in the treatment of intraosseous periodontal defects.Methods
Forty-three intraosseous defects in 35 patients were accessed with a buccal SFA alone or in combination with a reconstructive technology (graft, enamel matrix derivative (EMD), graft + EMD, or graft + membrane). Postoperative healing was evaluated at 2 weeks using the Early Wound-Healing Index (EHI).Results
EHI ranged from score 1 (i.e., complete flap closure and optimal healing) to score 4 (i.e., loss of primary closure and partial tissue necrosis). SFA resulted in a complete wound closure at 2 weeks in the great majority of sites. A significantly more frequent presence of interdental contact point and interdental soft tissue crater, and narrower base of the interdental papilla were observed at sites with either EHI?>?1 or EHI?=?4 compared to sites with EHI = 1. No association between EHI and the 6-month clinical outcomes was observed.Conclusions
At 2 weeks, buccal SFA may result in highly predictable complete flap closure.Clinical relevance
Site-specific characteristics may influence the early postoperative healing of the papillary incision following SFA procedure. Two-week soft tissue healing, however, was not associated with the 6-month clinical outcomes.7.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was comparison of clinical and radiographic outcomes of immediate post-extraction implants with or without the use of pure platelet-rich plasma (P-PRP) in the short- and medium-term follow-up.Methods
A retrospective analysis was performed to assess soft tissue healing, implant and prosthesis survival, marginal bone level changes and biological complications.Results
A total of 109 partially edentulous patients with 126 implants were included in this analysis. At 4–5 years after loading, cumulative survival rate in test group was 97.4% and in control group was 97.8%, with no significant differences. After 5 years of function, marginal bone loss (MBL) in test group was 0.8 ± 0.35 and 1.02 ± 0.27 mm for immediate and delayed loading, respectively, and in control group was 0.6 ± 0.16 and 0.8 ± 0.89 mm for immediate and delayed loading, respectively. No significant differences in MBL were observed intragroups and intergroups at any time point considered. Soft tissue healing score was significantly higher in test group compared to the control at 3 and 7 days after surgery, with significant differences.Conclusions
P-PRP implant group showed a better soft tissue management and wound healing in the first 7 days after surgery compared to non-P-PRP implant group. In the medium-term follow-up, comparable clinical and radiographic outcomes were noticed between two groups.8.

Purpose
We report the results of the intralesional steroid injections for the management of central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) of the jaws.Methods
Seven CGCGs were treated with intralesional injection of corticosteroids. To accomplish this, 3.5 mL of triamcinolone and 3.5 mL of 0.5 % marcaine with 1/200,000 epinephrine (total 7 mL) were mixed. An adequate amount of steroid was injected into different areas of the lesion. This procedure was repeated on a weekly basis for 6 weeks.Results
Clinical and radiological examination showed complete resolution and ossification of the lesions in four patients. Partial recovery was achieved in two patients. One patient did not respond to the treatment and underwent surgical curettage.Conclusions
We suggest that intralesional steroid injection is safe and effective for the treatment of CGCG, especially in non-aggressive lesions.9.

Purpose
The aim of the study was to analyze the eligibility of resorbable collagen membrane in the treatment of midfacial fractures to prevent gap formation and subsequent cheek tissue retraction.Material and methods
We included nine patients (six males, three females; mean age 51; range 20–73 years; mean bone gap size 8.03 × 13.12 mm) in a retrospective study design. The defect size was assessed by ultrasound.Results
After a healing period of 4 to 55 weeks, treatment resulted in a significant reduction of gap size (residual mean bone gap size 6.14 × 7.32 mm).Conclusions
Native resorbable collagen membrane is a promising tool to reduce the size of bony gap in midfacial defects.10.

Purpose
There is no consensus on how to successfully treat medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). We report here on the application of piezoelectric bone surgery to treat MRONJ in combination with antibiotherapy and on its possible benefit.Materiel and methods
A cohort of 18 consecutive patients has been treated for MRONJ; they involved 20 sites, 15 in the mandible, and five in the maxilla. Surgical removal of the necrotic areas and debridement was performed with a powerful piezoelectric surgery device (max 90 W) in combination with antibiotherapy.Results
All patients healed and obtained a complete soft tissue closure within 1 month. No recurrence of the symptoms was observed during the present follow-up (10–54 months).Conclusion
We hypothesize that healing of all treated sites might have resulted from the synergic effect of bone ablation, biofilm alteration, and antibiotic administration. Biofilm alteration might have permitted a better access of antibiotics to the involved germs. These encouraging results warrant further studies on the use of ultrasonic surgery to treat MRONJ patients in order to confirm or refute the hypothesized effect.11.
Purpose
The treatment of lip carcinomas needs tumor surgical resection with safety margins respect. The aim of this study was to report the oncologic and aesthetic/functional outcomes of a retrospective monocentric case series of 39 patients treated for cutaneous lip cancer.Methods
This retrospective study assessed 56 patients who were treated for a lip carcinoma between 2008 and 2012 and included 39 patients with cutaneous lip basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Clinical, surgical and pathological data were reviewed, and patients were interviewed for follow-up data. A comparison was made between the marked surgical margins and the margins observed under microscopy after histologic process.Results
The most frequent tumor type was basal cell carcinoma in 69.2 %. The measured surgical margins were superior to the histological margins in 24 cases (61.5 %) and were inferior in 13 cases (33.3 %). Overall survival and recurrence-free survival rates at 1 year were 97.5 and 95 % respectively.Conclusion
Differences between the surgical margins and the final histologic margins were the main finding of this retrospective study. These differences were attributed to surgical practices and modification during the histological process. Nevertheless, we did not observe a higher rate of recurrence or death in our study than in literature.12.

Introduction
Many surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of TMJ ankylosis, but no strategy has been uniformly agreed upon underscoring the difficulty of the problem. Despite new guidelines and updated methods, treating patients with TMJ Ankylosis remains a challenge as the incidence of recurrence after treatment is soaring. This study exemplifies our experience in using an unsullied method to treat TMJ Ankylosis to restore the structure of TMJ in conjunction with convalescing secondary maxillofacial deformity.Materials and Methods
A total of 56 cases of unilateral bony TMJ ankylosis were included in the study, and postoperative results of T.M.J disc as a soft tissue interposition graft was evaluated. The operative protocol comprised of (1) resection of ankylotic mass, (2) intraoral ipsilateral coronoidectomy or contralateral coronoidectomy when needed, (4) interpositioning disc as soft tissue graft, (5) interposing and fixing sternoclavicular or costocondral graft with lag screws and (6) early mobilization, aggressive physiotherapy.Results
The study assessed patients with regular follow‐up checks for a period of 3 years. The average preoperative mouth opening was found to be 5.46 mm (range 2–10 mm). Mean post-operative mouth opening was 33.05 mm (range 24–43 mm), while 3 years post operative mouth opening (mean) was 39.75 mm. No cases of reankylosis were reported during this period suggesting it as a viable and satisfactory approach.Conclusion
The use of TMJ disc as a soft tissue interpositional graft material is an effectual method for functional rehabilitation of ankylosis cases and serves as an effective means of preventing recurrence.13.

Purpose
To determine the quantity of dexamethasone plasma concentration achieved following intrapterygomandibular space injection of dexamethasone when co-administered with inferior alveolar nerve block correlating with the clinical effects in the postoperative phase.Objective
A preliminary prospective study to evaluate the dexamethasone plasma concentration achieved following intrapterygomandibular space injection of dexamethasone with 2% lignocaine inferior alveolar nerve block to achieve hemi-mandibular anesthesia for minor oral surgical procedures and derive clinical correlations.Background
Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid, chiefly used for the management of postsurgical sequelae like trismus and swelling in maxillofacial surgical practice. Conventionally, parenteral dexamethasone is administered via intravenous or intramuscular route. Intrapterygomandibular space injection is a novel route of steroid delivery described in literature. For minor oral surgical procedures in maxillofacial surgical practice requiring inferior alveolar nerve block, dexamethasone can be administered along with local anesthetic through a single injection as a mixture (twin mix).Methods
Prospective double-blind randomized clinical trial was designed to evaluative plasma concentration of dexamethasone achieved following injection of a freshly prepared mixture of 1.8 ml of 2% lignocaine with adrenaline (1:200000) and 1 ml (4 mg) dexamethasone [2.8 ml solution of twin mix] in the pterygomandibular space. The 30 candidates included for the trial were randomly split into three study groups (ten each)—(1) control group (C); (2) intramuscular group (IM); (3) intraspace group (IS).Results
The mean plasma dexamethasone concentration at 30 min postinjection in group IM was 226.41?±?48.67 ng/ml and for IS group it was 209.67?±?88.13 ng/ml. Post hoc (Bonferroni-Holm test) intergroup comparison for plasma dexamethasone concentration (IM and IS) was found statistically insignificant (P?=?0.605).Conclusion
Intraspace route of drug administration can be utilized to deliver dexamethasonized local anesthetics safely with predictable clinical effects in the patients requiring mandibular minor oral surgery under local anesthesia.14.

Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate alterations in condylar positioning through submentovertex projection (Hirtz Radiographic Technique) in patients who underwent orthognathic surgery for maxillary advancement and mandibular setback with stable internal fixation.Methods
A prospective longitudinal clinical study of 40 surgical patients presenting dentofacial deformity admitted in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in the period between March 2013 and December 2015. We performed two submentovertex digital radiographs, one 7 days before surgery and the other one 30 days after the procedure. Cephalometric tracings were made using Radiocef® Studio 2 Software and measured the intercondylar and condylar angles (right and left).Results
There was a decrease in the intercondylar angle (p < 0.001) and an increase in condylar angles both the right and the left side (p < 0.001) when compared with the pre and postoperative period. There was a larger increase in condylar angle on the right side in males (p = 0.007).Conclusion
There is a tendency of decreasing of the intercondylar angle after orthognathic surgery, regardless of the alteration in the condylar angles, creating a new position of the condyle in the glenoid fossa. Patients with asymmetry may present greater alterations in the positioning of the opposite condylar to the deviation of the mandibular midline.15.
Objective
Micro-neurosurgical repair is considered in permanent nerve damage but the outcome is unpredictable. We examined if histopathologic parameters of traumatic neuromas have a prognostic value for recovery in relation to lingual nerve micro-neurosurgery.Materials and methods
Retrospective case study on neurosensory recovery after micro-neurosurgery. Outcome variables were as follows: pain perception, two-point discrimination, and sum score of perception, before and 12 months after micro-neurosurgery. Predictive histopathology variables included size, nerve tissue, and inflammation. Statistics are as follows: logistic and correlation analyses (P < 0.05).Results
Sixty-five patients with lingual nerve damage were included in the study. Improved two-point discrimination was associated with small size of resected tissue (P = 0.0275). No normal appearing distal nerve tissue was associated with improved sum score of perception (P = 0.0185), higher final sum score of perception value (P = 0.0475) and final pain perception (P = 0.0324). Foreign body reaction was associated with no final pain perception (P = 0.0492).Conclusions
Small size, absence of distal nerve tissue, and no foreign body reaction were associated with improvement of the neurosensory functions.Clinical relevance
Histological parameters of the traumatic neuromas in routine preparation appeared to have some prognostic value for neurosensory functions as improvement of the neurosensory functions was associated with small size of resected tissue, no distal normal appearing nerve tissue, and no foreign body reaction.16.

Purpose
The aim of the present technical note was to describe a prosthetic technique developed to increase the predictability of immediately loaded implants supporting a fixed prosthesis after computer-aided template-guided flapless implant placement.Methods
During a 2-year period, eight patients presenting partial edentulism underwent computer-aided template-guided implant placement. The presented technique was used during the prosthetic procedures to directly transfer the data obtained with the facebow to the surgical environment, allowing for accurate repositioning of the temporary prosthesis on the implants as previously planned with the digital software.Results
A total of 78 dental implants were immediately loaded with an implant-supported fixed prosthesis after flapless template-guided implant placement. A survival and success rate of 100 % was reported after a mean follow-up of 1 year from the prosthetic loading. Neither major complications nor dropouts were observed during the healing time. From both clinical and radiological evaluations, implants appeared stable with no signs of soft tissue inflammation or infection and no evidence of pathological peri-implant bone resorption.Conclusions
The proposed technique associated with computer-aided implant placement and immediate loading protocol provided a high implant and prosthetic survival and success rate. No complications were reported during the recalls, suggesting predictability and reliability of the present technique over a short-term period.17.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to estimate the clinical significance of using intraoral strain elastography to establish an early diagnosis of tongue carcinoma.Methods
A total of 17 patients (11 men, 6 women; median age 67 years; age range 38–85 years) with a tumorous lesion of the tongue suggesting that early stage tongue carcinoma were enrolled in the study. Intraoral strain elastography was performed with a small hockey stick-shaped intraoperative probe and acoustic coupling polymer gel. The elasticity of the lesions was classified into four grades, with a score of 1 indicating a very soft tissue and a score of 4 indicating a very hard tissue. The patients were divided into two groups based on the histopathologically verified malignancy: carcinoma group (n = 15) and non-malignancy group (n = 2).Results
All patients underwent surgical resection and histopathological examination of the surgical specimen. The pathology in the carcinoma group included 12 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and three cases of carcinoma in situ. The pathology in the non-malignancy group included one case of viral stomatitis and one case of pyogenic granuloma. The elasticity score was limited to 3 or 4 in the carcinoma group and 1 or 2 in the non-malignancy group. There was no significant difference in the elasticity scores between squamous cell carcinoma and carcinoma in situ.Conclusions
Although limited by the small number of subjects, the present results suggest that intraoral strain elastography could be an alternative noninvasive method for diagnosing tongue carcinoma.18.

Purpose
Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is an aggressive benign tumor and the management by complete enucleation followed by cryotherapy maintains the inorganic bone matrix, resulting in better repair and reduces the rates of recurrence. A refrigerant spray with a propane/butane/isobutane gas mixture has been pointed to as an alternative to liquid nitrogen, because the device is easy to handle and contain within the cavity, providing better control and lower risk of injury to the adjacent soft tissue. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of enucleation followed by cryosurgery using a refrigerant spray of this gas mixture in ten patients diagnosed with KCOT.Method
The biggest lesions received a prior treatment consisting of marsupialization to decrease the tumor size. During the surgeries, the lesions were removed by enucleation and the surgical site was sprayed with the gas mixture.Results
Wound dehiscence was observed in all cases, which healed by the second intention. The mean follow-up period was 64.3 months (range 24–120 months). Eight of the ten patients showed no evidence of clinical or radiographic recurrence. Pathologic fractures and infections were not observed.Conclusions
The results obtained suggest that enucleation followed by cryosurgery is an effective therapy for managing KCOT.19.

Purpose
Long standing oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is associated with involvement of the oral submucosa and the muscles of mastication leading to difficulty in mouth opening. Various surgical modalities are mentioned for release but each has its own limitations. The aim of the study was to evaluate the postoperative mouth opening in patients of OSMF after excision of fibrous bands followed by coronoidotomy and surgical defect coverage by extended nasolabial flap.Methods
We evaluated the use of extended nasolabial flaps and coronoidectomy in the management of 11 randomly selected patients with histologically confirmed oral submucous fibrosis. They all had interincisal opening of less than 25 mm and were treated by bilateral release of fibrous bands, coronoidectomy or coronoidotomy, and extended grafting with a nasolabial flap.Result
Their interincisal opening improved significantly from a mean of 8.68±7 mm to a mean of 36.75±4.05 mm at 6-month follow-up.Conclusion
The procedure was effective in the management of patients with oral submucous fibrosis, the main disadvantage being the extraoral scars.20.
