Article Synopsis
- - Severe maxilla atrophy can make it impossible to use standard dental implants, but personalized subperiosteal implants (PSIs) offer a customized alternative that fits closely to the patient's bone structure for better results.
- - A case study highlights a patient with significant bone loss due to mucormycosis who, after a failed reconstruction, received a removable prosthesis supported by a PSI, which helped close gaps and improve functionality.
- - The patient reported positive outcomes 18 months later, with no complications, suggesting that customized implants like PSIs can be effective in complex dental restoration cases.
Article Synopsis
- - A 74-year-old woman with florid oral papillomatosis (OFP) was treated with imiquimod 5% after refusing surgery, using the treatment on alternate days for 16 weeks, alongside hyaluronic acid gel.
- - At the 2-year follow-up, there were no side effects or signs of recurrence in the treated area.
- - This case suggests that topical imiquimod 5% could be a viable alternative treatment for recurrent OFP in patients unwilling to undergo surgery, though ongoing monitoring is essential.
Background: The coronavirus pandemic has impacted health systems worldwide, with Spain being one of the most affected countries. However, little is known about the extent to which the effects of staying home, social distancing, and quarantine measures have influenced the epidemiology of patients with maxillofacial trauma. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the incidence, demographic patterns, and characteristics of maxillofacial fractures in the largest hospital in southern Spain.

Despite the use of therapeutic contact lenses and multiple temporary tarsorrhaphy, NK worsened showing a central corneal scar, neovascularization, and significant stromal thinning, with risk of corneal perforation. Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometry revealed complete corneal anesthesia.

Here, the authors report an unusual clinical case of a 42-year-old man who presented with a painless, slow-growing swelling located in the right parotid gland with a 12-month evolution. Based on imaging tests and open biopsy, a diagnosis of chronic parotitis was presumed and oral methylprednisolone was prescribed.
