Objectives: To analyze the effect of biological sex and aging on craniofacial bone features in 129 Sv mice and their influence on dental socket healing post tooth extraction.
Materials And Methods: A total of 52 129 Sv mice were used, of which 28 were young (3-4 months) and 24 were aged (17-18 months), equally distributed according to biological sex. After an upper right incisor extraction, mice specimens were collected at 7, 14, and 21-days post-surgery for microtomographic (microCT) and comprehensive histological analysis.
Purpose: It is important to understand the factors that can increase the incidence of complications after mandibular fracture (MF) treatment. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether occlusal stability influences the occurrence of postoperative complications in MFs treated with internal rigid fixation.
Patients And Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study of patients treated for MF by osteosynthesis with plate and screw fixation.
Mandibular reconstruction techniques are always a challenge to oral and maxillofacial (OMF) surgeons. Techniques and treatment plans that offer the patient OMF rehabilitation should always be available. Technological innovations have enabled more rapid, safer, and more secure treatment than in the past.
