Background: Stay-at-home injunction during COVID-19 pandemic led to new dynamics in households and increased the risk of domestic accidents involving pets. The aim of the study was to demonstrate an increase of facial dog bites in children during first lockdown period in France, compared to the same period in 2018 and 2019. Secondary objective was to investigate the demographics and circumstances in which dog bites occurred.

Cherubism severity is highly variable, and recurrence after surgery is the most important risk. Currently, there are no prognostic indicators.

The superficial ulnar artery represents, after the variations in origin of the radial artery, the second most frequent variation in this area. When present, reconstructive procedures may be modified, especially when harvesting forearm free flaps, in order to choose this vessel as nourishing pedicle.

Objective: The diagnosis of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer in clinical practice is based on p16 immunohistochemistry and PCR detection of viral DNA (HPV-PCR). The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the concordance between these 2 diagnostic tests. The secondary objective was to study the clinical characteristics of these patients.

Unlabelled: We prospectively and randomly assessed the absence of surgical wound closure on the patient's postoperative outcome when removing impacted mandibular third molars.
Material And Method: Patients were randomized in 2 groups: the "open group" (O) and the "closed group" (C). We considered the postoperative perimandibular edema, postoperative pain, and limitation of mouth opening at preoperative time, Day2, and Day7.

Introduction: We evaluated the indication of orthoptic evaluation for the management of orbital floor fractures in a prospective series.
Material And Method: Forty-seven patients presenting with an orbital floor fracture were included in our prospective study. Consultations in orthoptics and maxillo-facial surgery were regularly carried out.
Purpose: The different surgical approaches used to treat mandibular condyle fractures are carried out in the periparotid skin area and can lead to facial nerve injury. We conducted a preauricular and anteroparotid surgical approach. Our main aim was to show the anatomical relationship between this approach site and the facial nerve branches, and to define cutaneous landmarks to locate the extraparotid facial nerve branches.

Introduction: Extended facial tissue defects are difficult to reconstruct because of the anatomical and functional complexity of the area. Recently, composite facial allotransplantation was used for reconstruction. This could be performed because of specific facial blood supply and its facial and maxillary anastomoses.

Dental lesions are frequent complications of orotracheal intubation and major causal factors are, firstly, preexisting poor dentition, and, secondly, difficult laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. The aim of this work was to prioritize propositions for prevention in perianaesthetic dental injury and for care in case of dental trauma.

Methods: Fifty-eight healthy volunteers (27 women, 31 men, age range 18-95 years) were examined using our imaging protocols. The volunteers had no present or past neuropsychiatric illness and no abuse of alcohol or illicit drugs.
Purpose: In our Bordeaux maxillofacial surgery unit, we have used the Michelet technique described for 40 years: manual fracture reduction and semi-rigid miniplate osteosynthesis fixation. No maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) with arch bars or with screws was used for reduction during osteosynthesis. The aim of this work was to evaluate results of this unknown manual reduction method.

Objective: The aim of this preliminary retrospective study was to evaluate the prognostic value of tumor thickness in squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth.
Materials And Methods: A total of 61 patients with previously untreated T1N0, T2N0 or T3N0 squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth were included in this preliminary study. An optical micrometer was used to determine the maximum of tumor thickness.

We studied the files of head and neck reconstruction with antebrachial flap used in 100 patients between May 1996 and March 2007 in the department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the CHU of Bordeaux. Flap harvesting and vascular anastomosis were performed by the same operator. Antebrachial flap was used to cover the defect after resection of head and neck cancer in 89 patients and after shotgun injuries of the face in 11 patients.

Introduction: The aim of our retrospective study was to evaluate the role of PET-CT in the management of upper-aerodigestive tract (UADT) squamous-cell carcinomas.
Material And Methods: Our study included 43 patients with UADT squamous-cell carcinomas having undergone PET-CT for: initial staging (n=20), diagnosis of recurrent disease (n=16), and response to treatment (n=7).
Results: PET-CT diagnosed distant metastases missed by conventional imaging in four patients (20%) in initial staging, four patients (25%) in diagnosis of recurrent disease, and two patients (29%) in response to treatment.
