Objectives: Follow-up results of modern zirconia implants inserted in fibula free and deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flaps with fixed dentures are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate crestal bone changes and the survival rate of zirconia implants for up to 1.5 years of prospective follow-up.

We aimed to retrospectively investigate whether the topical application of hyaluronic acid on standardized wounds after split-thickness skin graft removal on the thigh would accelerate wound healing and improve scarring outcomes. Additionally, we aimed to evaluate the usefulness of three-dimensional (3D) scanning to assess scars.

- Tumorous jaw diseases often require extensive surgeries and reconstructive techniques, with computer-aided planning (CAD) being employed to enhance the precision of such reconstructions using 3D models derived from patient-specific CT images.* -
- This study evaluated the accuracy of CAD-planned deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flaps in patients who underwent jaw resections, comparing planned and actual measurements post-surgery for factors like transplant volume and angles.* -
- Results indicated minimal discrepancies in volume between the planned and actual flaps, but some significant variations in angular alignment and positioning for dental prosthetics, highlighting a need for improved accuracy in prosthetic rehabilitation planning.*
The repair of hemimandibulectomy defects involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is challenging. This study compared the functional outcomes and reconstruction accuracy using a deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap with and without a virtually planned stock TMJ prosthesis (TMJP) after hemimandibulectomy. Ten patients were assessed: five with a TMJP (TMJP group) and five without (control group).

Materials And Methods: A total of 58 patients with 241 implants were included. Among them, 106 implants were based in native bone (group I), 75 implants were inserted into avascular bone grafts (group II), and 60 implants were placed in microvascular bone grafts (group III).
