Specialist industries usually develop custom-made medical devices outside a medical structure at the request of a healthcare professional. Access to 3D-printing technology with dedicated softwares in hospitals allow surgeons to perform virtual surgery leading to safer and more precise surgery. The authors present the hybrid workflow that combined the skills of surgeons, engineers and manufacturers to create titanium custom-made cutting guide and implants to reconstruct the nasal bone after the resection of an intraosseous hemangioma.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate the use of human amniotic membrane (hAM) as a graft material for treating medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in a pig model, involving five oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
- - Four techniques for applying hAM were tested: complete coverage, partial coverage, apposition, and covering graft material, with surgeons assessing its handling and physical properties during the procedures.
- - Results indicated that hAM has suitable mechanical properties for oral surgery, with complete and partial coverage being the preferred techniques; findings are shared to educate surgeons on effective hAM application in surgical settings.
This study aimed to demonstrate an association between the occurrence of surgical site infection (SSI) after orthognathic surgery and penicillin allergy and to assess whether other factors could be associated with the occurrence of SSI. A 10-year monocentric retrospective study was conducted to identify possible risk factors for SSI in orthognathic surgery. Bivariate analyses were performed using Fisher, Student, or Wilcoxon tests and multivariate analyses using logistic regression.

Introduction: Odontoma is the most commonly diagnosed odontogenic tumor of the oral cavity. The objective of the present study was to assess the demographic variables, patterns, diagnostic features, and management issues of odontomas treated at several European departments of maxillofacial and oral surgery.
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted at 8 European departments of oral surgery between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2018.
