Satisfaction Level of Patients with the Outcome of Genioplasty.

Background: We aimed to assess the satisfaction level of patients with the outcome of genioplasty and the influential parameters in this respect.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 70 patients between 18 to 59 years, who underwent genioplasty in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department at Shariati and Sina Hospitals, Tehran, Iran, between 2010 and 2020. Patient records were evaluated and a questionnaire was filled out over the phone to assess the influential parameters on the satisfaction level of patients with the outcome of genioplasty.

The Causes of Dental Implant Migration into the Maxillary Sinus: A Case Series Study from 25 Years of Experience.

The use of dental implants to restore edentulous jaws has become commonplace. Usually, in the maxilla, following a tooth extraction, the height of alveolar bone decreases. This alteration in bone increases the risk of implants migrating into the sinus.

Perceptions of mandibular asymmetry among orthodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and laypersons.

Background: Facial asymmetry is one reason orthodontic patients seek treatment. This study assessed the effect of mandibular asymmetry on facial esthetics and treatment needs perceived by laypersons, orthodontists, and maxillofacial surgeons.

Materials And Method: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the frontal image of a model was captured and symmetrized from the facial midline using Adobe Photoshop software.

Maxillofacial Fracture Types and Their Management in 3-to 18-year-old Individuals Referred to Shariati Hospital, Tehran, Iran.

This study was performed to find the most common types of maxillofacial fractures and their management in 3 to 18-year-old individuals referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Shariati Hospital in Tehran, during a 9-year period. This retrospective study evaluated the records of 319 patients with maxillofacial fractures between 2012-2020, ranging in age from 3 to 18 years. Data regarding the etiology and location of the fracture, age, gender, and treatment approach were retrieved from the archival records and analyzed.

Solitary amyloid tumor of the palate: A case report and literature review.

Amyloidosis is often caused by the abnormal extracellular accumulation of amyloid in organs and tissues. This condition, affecting the head and neck region, is typically localized, and may also involve the oral cavity, particularly the tongue and buccal mucosa. As a solitary manifestation, the localized amyloidosis occurring intraosseous is highly infrequent.

Effect of Transcodent painless needles on injection pain in maxillary anterior infiltration: a split-mouth controlled randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the pain perceived during supraperiosteal (infiltration) injection in anterior maxillary region by Transcodent painless needle tips in comparison to the regular needle tips.

Material And Methods: In this split-mouth controlled randomised clinical trial, 30 patients were selected as candidates for cosmetic treatment who needed infiltration injections on both sides of canine area. They were each administered 0.

Mandibular sporadic Burkitt lymphoma in an adult patient: A case report and review of the literature.

Only a minor percent of lymphomas arise in the oral cavity. Although rare, dentists and clinicians should not neglect them as a possible consideration in the differential diagnosis of oral lesions.

Dental practice in the era of COVID-19: A review of literature.

Dental practitioners confront the highest risk of COVID-19 infection due to constant exposure to saliva, droplets, blood, and aerosols. Despite the suspension of routine dental care in many countries around the world, dental professionals perceive a moral duty to take part in the global fight against the pandemic. Therefore, dental professionals should be vigilant in defending against the transmission of the virus and as well as in the diagnosis of the disease through the oral manifestations of it.

Application of a collagen scaffold saturated with platelet-rich plasma in prevention of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in the rat animal model.

Background: Among the myriad adverse events of drugs in the oral cavity, Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is one of the most detrimental drug reactions that have ever been known.

Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the success of applying collagen scaffold alone and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)+collagen scaffold in prevention of zoledronic acid-induced BRONJ in the rat.

Methods: A total of 17 male Wistar-rats were treated with 4 weekly doses of zoledronic acid.

Maxillofacial gunshot injures and their therapeutic challenges: Case series.

Maxillofacial gunshot injuries require proficiency to determine a suitable treatment plan and surgical intervention. In this paper, present 4 gunshot cases. Treatment in these patients is very challenging.

Applying dental implant therapy in patients with oral lichen planus: a review of literature.

Lichen planus (LP) is a violent, paranormal inflammatory disease that can affect the skin or any lining of the mucous membrane. LPs are a branch of immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID) that collaborates with the function and structure of the immune system that are precipitated through various etiological infectious agents. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is one of the most common kinds of IMID.

Noninvasive treatment for chronic sialadenitis: Case report.

This reporter expresses a patient with a history of tender neck swelling. After clinical and graphical examinations, the patient was diagnosed with submandibular sialolithiasis. Instead of invasive removal of the gland, a more conservative treatment was used.

Traumatic bone cyst of mandible: a case series.

Background: A traumatic bone cyst is an uncommon nonneoplastic lesion of the jaws that is considered as a "pseudocyst" because of the lack of an epithelial lining. This lesion is particularly asymptomatic and therefore is diagnosed by routine dental radiographic examination as a unilocular radiolucency with scalloped borders, mainly in the posterior mandibular region. The exact etiopathogenesis of the lesion remains uncertain, though it is often associated with trauma.

Oral lipoma: Case report and review of literature.

Lipoma is a benign neoplasm that primarily affects the middle-aged individuals and has a rare oral cavity occurrence. Given its noninvasive behavior and low recurrence rate, surgical conservative management should be regarded as the best therapeutic option. This paper highlights two patients along with their improved conditions following the treatment.
