Our aim was to evaluate the volume by which grafts contract after augmentation of the sinuses by three-dimensional analysis on cone-beam computed tomographs (CT), and to investigate the factors that influence the outcomes. The sinus floor was augmented with deproteinised bovine bone mineral in 58 patients with 123 edentulous sites related to 67 sinuses. The outcomes of augmentation were analysed by both linear and volumetric measurements on cone-beam CT images taken immediately after operation and...

An unusual communication between the lingual and mylohyoid nerves has been identified as one reason for incomplete mandibular anaesthesia, and for neuropathy. However, its anatomical features and function are poorly understood and its relations with neighbouring structures, which are valuable in reducing the side effects of surgical operations, have not been sufficiently described. The aim of this study, therefore, was to describe the communication between the nerves and to assess the implications...

AbstractObjectivesTo perform an exploratory analysis of factors influencing annual rates of peri‐implant marginal bone loss (RBL) calculated over different time‐frames, at implants unaffected by peri‐implantitis.Material and Methods154 implants from 86 patients were reviewed at 1.6‐6.8 years after placement. Marginal bone levels (MBL) were assessed on intraoral‐radiographs at 3 time‐points: immediately post‐placement, time of loading, and least 1‐year post‐loading. RBLs (mm/year) were computed...

Re: "Orofacial cleft management by short-term surgical missions in South America: literature review"
In light of the article by Best et al. regarding short-term surgical missions as a means to deliver surgical expertise and alleviate the growing demand for surgical care, especially as it relates to patients with congenital orofacial clefts, we offer you this summary of Smile Train's supported programs and model in the region as a proven successful alternative to addressing such needs1.

The aim of this study was to quantify the fluctuating dynamic facial asymmetry during smiling in a group of 'normal' adults, using three-dimensional (3D) motion facial capture technology. Fifty-four male and 54 female volunteers were recruited. Each subject was imaged using a passive markerless 3D motion capture system (DI4D). Eighteen landmarks were tracked through the 3D capture sequence. A facial asymmetry score was calculated based on either a clinically derived midline or Procrustes alignment;...

AbstractBackgroundTumor budding is a valuable prognostic marker in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) but lacks a standardized scoring system. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of tumor budding for OTSCC patients based on the scoring system recommended by the International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference (ITBCC) 2016.MethodsTumor budding was scored as ITBCC recommended in 255 patients with OTSCC. Then, associations between tumor budding and clinicopathologic...
