Clinical characteristics, management, and malignancy rate of oral lichen planus: A European multicenter study.

Introduction: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous condition that includes a spectrum of oral clinical manifestations ranging from mild painless white lesions to painful erosions and ulcers. The purpose of this European multicenter study is to describe the general characteristics of OLP lesions, the clinical and histopathological diagnosis, and the management of OLP at different European Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Surgery centers, in order to minimize selections biases and provide information about the current trends in the treatment of OLP across Europe.

Materials And Methods: Data and histopathological records of patients with OLP were retrospectively revised and only those patients that fulfilled the diagnostic criteria from the 2016 position paper by American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology were included.

Assessing Dental Implant Success: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Primary Versus Secondary Implantation in Free Bone Flap Reconstruction for Malignant Tumors.

Background: Dental implantation of bone reconstructions in oncologic situations improves patients' orofacial function and quality of life. There are currently no recommendations on the timing of implantation.

Methods: This systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to compare primary and secondary dental implantation of free bone flaps in reconstructions for malignant tumors of the oral cavity.

Ossifying fibroma and juvenile ossifying fibroma: A systematic review on clinical and radiological parameters, treatment modalities and recurrence.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare benign fibro-osseous neoplasm developing mostly in maxillo-facial bones. OF is divided in cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF), juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF) and psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (PSOF). The aim of this systematic review was to synthetize the existing literature on OF, investigating the clinical and radiological parameters related to the different forms of the disease, and to compare the treatment modalities according to their associated recurrence rate.

Complications and risk factors associated with zygomatic implants: retrospective analysis with 73 consecutive patients followed for 3.5 years.

Objectives: This retrospective study analyzed zygomatic implant (ZI) survival and implant success (based on ORIS criteria) in patients treated for maxilla atrophy or after reconstruction failure.

Material And Methods: Implants were placed as quads (4 ZIs) or hybrids (ZIs and conventional implants in premaxilla) in edentulous patients using various surgical approaches, evolving from the sinus slot to Chow's extended sinus lift technique with or without Bichat fat pad. The procedure was followed by immediate loading, while clinical and radiographic evaluations spanned at least 1 year after implantation.

Mapping oral medicine (stomatology) and oral and maxillofacial pathology international organizations: a scoping review of global data and historical analysis.

Objectives: To describe the historical evolution and dissemination of the Oral Medicine and Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology international societies and associations across the globe, and to provide insights into their significant contributions toward oral health promotion.

Study Design: This review was conducted in accordance with the JBI Scoping Review Methodology Group guidance. The reporting followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR).
