Prosthetic rehabilitation in patients with jaw reconstruction by fibula free flap: A systematic review.

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the dental prosthetic rehabilitation (DPR) in patients after jaw reconstruction with fibula free flap. Four databases were searched from January 2000 to January 2023. Of the 2507 studies identified, 36 observational studies were included.

Reconstruction techniques of the orbit after Brown class III maxillectomy: A systematic review.

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the surgical techniques used for orbital floor reconstruction after Brown class III maxillectomy for cancer. Three databases were searched from January 1990 to January 2022. Of the 614 studies identified, 20 were retained after eligibility assessment.

Effectiveness of Geriatric Assessment-Driven Interventions on Survival and Functional and Nutritional Status in Older Patients with Head and Neck Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial (EGeSOR).

This study assesses the efficacy of Geriatric Assessment (GA)-driven interventions and follow-up on six-month mortality, functional, and nutritional status in older patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). HNC patients aged 65 years or over were included between November 2013 and September 2018 by 15 Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) and maxillofacial surgery departments at 13 centers in France. The study was of an open-label, multicenter, randomized, controlled, and parallel-group design, with independent outcome assessments.

A case report of condyle metastasis and a review of the literature.

Metastasis of the oral cavity is a rare condition and should be investigated for a primary tumor in the lungs, breast, kidney and prostate. Involvement of the mandibular condyle frequently mimics TMJ dysfunction with pain, swelling and limitation of mouth opening. We report the case of atypic TMJ dislocation as an inaugural sign of condyle metastasis.

Jaw osteosarcoma models in mice: first description.

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common cancer of bone. Jaw osteosarcoma (JOS) is rare and it differs from other OS in terms of the time of occurrence (two decades later) and better survival. The aim of our work was to develop and characterize specific mouse models of JOS.

Postoperative morbidity of free flaps in head and neck cancer reconstruction: a report regarding 215 cases.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the factors responsible for free flap failure, the surgical complications, and the non-oral feeding period in patients treated for an oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Materials And Methods: This multicentric study included 215 patients treated by tumour resection with immediate free flap reconstruction for an OSCC between 2010 and 2016. All of the patient medical files were reviewed and the data regarding the patient medical history, the tumour-related features, the surgical procedure, and the postoperative recovery were compiled.

Severe compromise of preosteoblasts in a surgical mouse model of bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Objectives: The effect of amino-bisphosphonates on osteoblastic lineage and its potential contribution to the pathogenesis of bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (BONJ) remain controversial. We assessed the effects of zoledronic acid (ZOL) on bone and vascular cells of the alveolar socket using a mouse model of BONJ.

Material And Methods: Thirty-two mice were treated twice a week with either 100 μg/kg of ZOL or saline for 12 weeks.

Postoperative interstitial brachytherapy for resectable squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency and toxicity of postoperative brachytherapy (POBT) in the treatment of resectable mobile tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective single-center study of patients with SSC of the mobile tongue who were treated between August 1992 and June 2013 by glossectomy and neck dissection followed by (192)Ir interstitial brachytherapy of the tumor bed. Endpoints were local control, cancer-specific survival (CSS), overall survival (OS), and morbidity.

Interstitial brachytherapy for lower lip carcinoma: global assessment in a retrospective study of 89 cases.

Background: Infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lower lip is a highly curable cancer. We retrospectively analyzed oncologic, functional, and cosmetic outcomes after interstitial low-dose rate brachytherapy at 58 Gy (50-62) of lower lip SCC treated in our institution.

Methods: There were 89 patients (44 T1, 33 T2, 2 T3, and 10 after wedge-excision).

Prognostic factors for T1-T2 squamous cell carcinomas of the mobile tongue: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: The aim of this study was to identify factors predicting poor prognosis at the time of early oral tongue carcinoma diagnosis.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out on 70 patients with T1 or T2 squamous cell carcinoma of the mobile tongue treated with primary surgical treatment.

Results: In all, 47% of patients received adjuvant treatment.

Management of dental extractions in patients with bleeding disorders.

Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a protocol to prevent bleeding after dental extraction in patients with hemophilia, von Willebrand's disease (VWD), or platelet disorders.

Study Design: Replacement therapy was used in cases involving general anesthesia, and nerve trunk infiltration was used in patients with severe bleeding disorders (severe-to-moderate hemophilia or type 2-3 VWD). Desmopressin was used in good responders with mild hemophilia A, type 1 VWD, and platelet disorders.
