Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The clash between experience and modernity is a particularly delicate issue in medicine. Effective and safe treatments are always a balance between the old and the new. The choice between that which has been repeatedly confirmed and what is potentially better, although burdened with a higher risk, affects the course of diagnostic and therapeutic processes. Additional factors in the degree of the difficulty of procedures, the availability of medical equipment and cost-effectiveness further complicate the choices that, in theory, should be dictated solely by medical considerations. I consider these topics worth covering in this Special Issue, which I invite you to cocreate, with the aim of presenting the best proven practices, innovative clinical management and prospects for the development of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
best proven vs. the latest diagnostic methods; advances in craniofacial traumatology; predictable orthognathics in the context of digitization; innovations in the treatment of temporomandibular joints; apparent stagnation in inflammation therapy; constant and developing aspects of oncology; novelties vs. traditional methods in reconstructive surgery; dental implantology: the evidence-based race of innovation; postsurgical maxillofacial prosthetics; importance and new possibilities of postoperative observation; failures necessary to share to avoid their occurrence.

Lip carcinoma is one of the most frequent conditions affecting the general population. It is among the ten most common neoplasms, but despite advances in research and therapy, its prognosis has not improved in a significant way in the past few years, making it a challenge in the medical research field and in surgical treatment. This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the available reconstructive surgical options for the treatment of lip carcinomas in order to define which could be the most appropriate technique to achieve satisfying aesthetic and functional outcomes considering hospital resources in the COVID-19 era. Seventeen patients were included in this retrospective study, which took place between January 2019 and April 2021. There were two groups: seven patients who underwent a radial forearm free flap and ten who underwent locoregional flaps. The statistical analysis was performed to evaluate four different endpoints. Surgical length, ICU stay, and hospitalization time were minor for locoregional flaps. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups when considering post-operative complications. Locoregional flaps have a more aesthetically pleasing result, but from a functional point of view, the results can be superimposable. Both techniques are associated with adequate speech, mouth opening, sealing, and symmetry. Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the healthcare system, locoregional flaps have been proven to be a good surgical option in the reconstruction of lip defects both in terms of aesthetics and functional outcome.

Lip augmentation procedures have become gradually more popular and common due to cultural tendencies and an increasing association of the appearance of the lips with both beauty and youth. Different dermal fillers have been proposed for lip augmentation—such as collagen, calcium hydroxylapatite, hyaluronic acid, and polylactic acid—which are used as temporary fillers. The present case report describes the histopathologic and clinical management of one case of HA filler migrating into the intraoral cheek, which caused discomfort by intraoral swelling. There is also a review of the relevant literature. A female patient, V.A., 34 years old, smoker, no allergies to drug and food substances, came to our attention. The patient was referred to the Department of Innovative Technology in Medicine and Dentistry of the University “G. D’Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara in Italy by her dentist for the removal of a mass present in the right cheek. The clinical examination of the patient revealed a single mobile mass mimicking a soft tissue tumor in the right anterior cheek. The mass was palpable and approximately 2 cm long and was causing pain and swelling. The mucosa appeared healthy without ulcers. The filler, which had migrated into the cheek, was removed by reaching it with a scalped blade. The material was stored immediately in 10% buffered formalin and processed for histological analysis. The literature search was carried out in accordance with the criteria of the PICO guidelines. Observed histologically, the filler was surrounded by fibroblasts and a few inflammatory cells and giant cells without granuloma formation. The clinical diagnosis was swelling and discomfort caused by chewing trauma, while the histological examination excluded discomfort due to a foreign body reaction caused by the HA used for a lip augmentation procedure. In conclusion, the high-pressure and high-volume filler injections probably caused a detachment of the tissues, with the orbicularis oris muscle concurrently acting as a pump and moving the HA implant, causing migration to the area with low-density tissue such as the cheek.

The atrophic edentulous maxilla is demanding for dental implant placement because of extensive resorption of the alveolar ridge after teeth loss and, consequently, the proximity of the anatomical structures, nasal cavity, and maxillary sinus. Treatment options are short implants, guided bone regeneration, onlay grafts, Le Fort I osteotomy with interpositional bone grafting, distraction osteogenesis, or nasal floor elevation. Nasal floor elevation is a method of augmentation of premaxilla by raising the base of the nose. The aim of this case report is to evaluate the success of implants placed after nasal floor elevation. A 75-year-old female patient came to the Clinical Department of Oral Surgery, University Hospital Centre Zagreb, unsatisfied with her complete removable denture. Clinical and radiological examination revealed severe maxillary alveolar ridge atrophy. Nasal floor elevation was made under local anesthesia through aperture piriformis and lateral window in the distal part. After eight months, four implants were placed and, after period of osseointegration, a bar-retained implant overdenture was made. This case report shows that nasal floor augmentation can be considered among the surgical techniques to allow implant-supported rehabilitation of the atrophic anterior maxilla. Full article

Background: New technologies and techniques allow us to offer better solutions for patients’ needs. Specifically, guided surgery is usually flapless, and the resulting prosthetic rehabilitation often includes immediate loading. Thus, bleeding risk is controlled, and more comfortable prosthetic procedures are performed. Guided surgery decreases surgical risks and is less invasive. The aim of this article is to present a case of guided osteotomy for bone biopsy and implant placement. Methods: CBCT was performed for the patient’s bone examination, an optical scanner was used for intra-oral images, and surgical certified software was applied for the osteotomy planning and the surgeon’s guide realization. Case report: The patient’s question is about left maxilla prosthetic rehabilitation. During the oral cavity and X-ray examination, a radiopacity with a feathered edge was found; in order to detect the finding, a CBCT was performed, and the surgery was planned. A bone biopsy was performed simultaneously with the implant’s placement through a drill guide. The specimen sent for histological exam showed osteosclerosis. Conclusions: It is the opinion of the authors that by involving and combining close collaboration and communication, several professional specializations (clinicians and radiologists) can improve the treatments for better patient care.

The aim of this report is to present a successful combined surgical and pharmaceutical treatment in the highest stage of medicine-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). A 70-year-old man treated for metastatic prostate cancer concomitant with hypertension and diabetes presented due to the exposure of the jawbone. Initial imaging studies suggested MRONJ, and the biopsy did not confirm bone metastasis in the oral cavity. Marginal resection of the mandible was performed after the administration of antibiotics and anticoagulants. There was no recurrence of mandibular necrosis during the 3-year follow-up. MRONJ can develop covertly, with scanty clinical symptoms, and can be easily overlooked. Radical combined treatment may, in some cases, prevent further progression of the disease, which was successful in this case. Full article
