Beyond Excision: Cryotherapy as a Non-surgical Treatment for Palatal Solitary Neurofibroma.

Palatal solitary neurofibromas (SNFs), not linked to neurofibromatosis type 1, are uncommon. A 45-year-old female with a palatal SNF underwent non-surgical treatment using liquid nitrogen cryotherapy (LNC). The lesion, initially 9 x 8 x 3 mm, was treated with two 1-2 minute freeze-thaw cycles, progressively extended to two 2-2 minute freeze-thaw cycles to address the refractoriness.

Longitudinal outcomes of trismus release with free-flap reconstruction in primary and secondary oral submucous fibrosis-related trismus.

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis is a global health concern associated with betel quid use and results in trismus, which can be either primary or secondary in origin. Severe cases often require trismus release with free-flap reconstruction. This study examined longitudinal outcome trends following trismus release and compared the outcomes of patients with primary and secondary oral submucous fibrosis-related trismus.

Trismus surgery and microsurgical reconstruction after oral cancer treatment.

Introduction: Trismus after oral cancer is frequent, with scarce evidence of surgical release treatment in these patients.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine the results of trismus release and free flap reconstruction after oral cancer treatment, establish immediate and long-term results, and detect factors that influence outcome.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed.

Dental Implant Outcomes in Fibula Mandible Reconstruction with or without Vertical Distraction for Symphysis Cross-Arch Segmental Defects.

Dental implant complications in patients with a symphysis cross-arch defect occur following fibula mandible reconstruction due to mechanical stress. The authors compared implant outcomes after single-barrel fibula mandible reconstruction with immediate implant placement or after completion of vertical distraction osteogenesis.

Trismus surgical release and free flap reconstruction after radiation therapy in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Background And Objectives: This study aims to review our experience in trismus release followed by free flap reconstruction after radiotherapy in oral and oropharyngeal cancer, describe the results obtained in long-term follow-up and identify possible predictors of outcome.

Methods: Patients' demographics, tumor characteristics and treatment where retrieved. Surgical release and reconstructive procedures were detailed.
