Volumetric Bone Changes in Double Barrel Vascularized Fibula Flap Used for Mandibular Reconstruction: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Aim: To assess the volumetric bone changes in double barrel vascularized fibular flap used for mandibular reconstruction using 3D miniplate versus 3D titanium mesh tray.

Materials And Methods: Twenty patients seeking mandibular reconstruction were selected for this 2-arm parallel randomized clinical trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Both groups underwent double-barrel fibula free flap for mandibular reconstruction with fixation of the superior barrel to the inferior barrel using a Titanium mesh (Group A) or a 3D plate (Group B).

Effect of manual physical therapy on sleep quality and jaw mobility in patients with bruxism: A biopsychosocial randomized controlled trial.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of deep-stripping and trigger-point pressure release massage on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), jaw mobility, and pressure pain threshold (PPT) of masticatory muscles in patients with sleep bruxism. A randomized controlled trial was conducted among 45 patients diagnosed with sleep bruxism. The patients were randomly assigned to three groups.

Experimental Behavior of Cracked Reinforced Concrete Columns Strengthened with Reinforced Concrete Jacketing.

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns often need to be strengthened or rehabilitated to allow them to carry the loads applied to them. In previous studies, RC columns have been strengthened by jacketing, without considering the occurrence of cracking. In this study, the behavior of RC columns strengthened externally by jacketing after cracking is analyzed.

Frontal Sinus Obliteration Utilizing Autogenous Abdominal Fat Graft.

Background: Frontal sinus fractures have always been unique because of the controversy surrounding their ideal treatment protocol and the fatal complications that could follow if the wrong treatment opts.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess clinically and radiographically frontal sinus obliteration technique utilising autogenous abdominal fat graft.

Patients And Methods: This study was carried out on 20 patients having anterior table fracture of their frontal sinuses indicated for sinus obliteration.

Bifurcated Superficial Temporal Artery Island Flap for the Reconstruction of a Periorbital Burn: An Innovation.

Background: Facial burns represent between one-fourth and one-third of all burns. The long-term sequelae of periorbital burns include significant ectropion and lagophthalmos as a result of secondary burn contractures in the lower and upper eyelids, in addition to complete or incomplete alopecia of the eyebrows.

Methods: A retrospective study of 14 reconstructive procedures for 12 postburn faces was conducted with all procedures performed since 2010 at the Department of Plastic Surgery, Al-Hussein University Hospital, and at the Craniofacial Unit, Nasser Institute Hospital.
