Customized Subperiosteal Implants for the Rehabilitation of Atrophic Jaws: A Consensus Report and Literature Review.

(1) Background: The aim was to perform a literature review on customized subperiosteal implants (CSIs) and provide clinical guidelines based on the results of an expert consensus meeting held in 2023. (2) Methods: A literature search was performed in Pubmed (MEDLINE) in July 2023, including case series and cohort studies with a minimum follow-up of 6 months that analyzed totally or partially edentulous patients treated with CSIs. Previously, an expert consensus meeting had been held in May 2023 to establish the most relevant clinical guidelines.

Neurotrophic Keratitis in a Pediatric Patient With Goldenhar Syndrome and Trigeminal Aplasia Successfully Treated by Corneal Neurotization.

Herein, the authors report an unusual case of a 6-year-old boy with right-sided Goldenhar syndrome and trigeminal nerve aplasia who developed neurotrophic keratopathy (NK). Despite the use of therapeutic contact lenses and multiple temporary tarsorrhaphy, NK worsened showing a central corneal scar, neovascularization, and significant stromal thinning, with risk of corneal perforation. Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometry revealed complete corneal anesthesia.

Oral health-related quality of life after dental treatment in patients with intellectual disability.

Background: The influence of dental treatment on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) has rarely been evaluated in patients with intellectual disability (ID) through validated questionnaires. The aim of this study was to estimate the changes on OHRQOL in patients with ID after the implementation of an institutional dental treatment program under general anesthesia using the Franciscan Hospital for Children Oral Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire (FHCOHRQOL-Q).

Material And Methods: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted on 85 patients (mean age=24.

Preventive dental management of osteonecrosis of the jaws related to zoledronic acid treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of preventive dental management on reducing the incidence and delaying the onset of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) in patients treated with intravenous zoledronic acid (ZA).

Materials And Methods: This single-center clinical study included 255 patients with cancer monitored over a 6-year period. Patients received dental treatment prior to (group A) or after (group B) the initiation of ZA therapy.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Oral and Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Statistical Validation and Impact of Micrometastasis Involvement on the Neck Dissection Decision.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) as an optimal staging method in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OOSCC) and the impact of the extent of SLN involvement on the decision for neck dissection (ND).

Materials And Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed in 96 consecutive patients with stage T1 to T4N0M0 OOSCC (mean follow-up, 62.9 months).

Assessment of quality of life of oral cancer survivors compared with Spanish population norms.

This study evaluated the quality of life (QL) of patients who survived oral cancer more than 5 years after treatment, using the Short-Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36), and assessed the impact of factors influencing QL compared with the Spanish population norms. 60 oral cancer patients (65.41 years; 49 males) with cancer-free survival after surgery of >5 years were enrolled.

Quality of life in long-term oral cancer survivors: a comparison with Spanish general population norms.

Purpose: Health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) data are becoming an important supplement to information pertaining to treatment outcomes for cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the HRQOL of patients undergoing primary surgery for oral squamous cell carcinoma > or =5 years after treatment compared with the Spanish general population norms.

Materials And Methods: A total of 50 oral cancer patients (mean age 55.

Synchronous unilateral parotid neoplasms. A case report.

The parotid gland is the most usual location of benign neoplasms affecting major salivary glands and quite often the recurrence of these tumours is noticed, specially in the case of pleomorphic adenoma. The occurrence of multiple tumours in the parotid glands is rare and the majority of these are multifocal Warthin's tumors (papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum). The simultaneous development of tumours with different histological types is unusual and when it occurs, the most common combination is a pleomorphic adenoma and a Warthin's tumor.
