Impact of Sarcopenia on Survival of Patients With Malignant Salivary Glands Tumors.

Objective: Malignant salivary glands tumors (MSGTs) are a quite rare and heterogeneous group of tumors. Management of these lesions remains controversial and challenging. Thus, finding new prognostic factors that can help to guide the decision-making process, appears to be paramount.

Full Digital Workflow for Mandibular Ameloblastoma Management: Showcase for Technical Description.

This is a showcase for technical description of a full digital workflow aimed to reconstruct and prosthetically rehabilitate the mandible after surgical resection. The surgery was performed following a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) guided workflow, using 3D reconstruction of the mandible and the fibula. After 2 years, when the ossification of the flap was reached and verified by a computed tomography (CT) scan, surgery was performed using a two-step implant rehabilitation, with successful outcomes.

Dermal Substitutes and Skin Grafts in the Reconstruction of Post-Traumatic Total Scalp Avulsion: A Case Series.
