The Minimally Invasive-Guided Genioplasty Technique using Piezosurgery and 3D printed surgical guide: An innovative technique.

Introduction: Mental nerve injuries with neurosensory deficits, asymmetries, and intra-operative bleeding are the main immediate complications of genioplasty. Following a recent systematic review, three-dimensional (3D)-printed cutting guide could improve the predictability and accuracy of this surgical technique avoiding postoperative asymmetries. Furthermore, anatomical structures in the surgical area (mental nerve and teeth roots) are better protected, reducing the morbidity and providing safer results.

Clinical Study on the Minimally Invasive-Guided Genioplasty Using Piezosurgery and 3D Printed Surgical Guide.

Introduction: A retrospective clinical study was performed regarding the minimally invasive-guided genioplasty technique (MIGG technique) described in a previous clinical note. The aims of this clinical study were to study the incidence of immediate complications with this technique compared with a control group using a nonminimally genioplasty technique, to validate the accuracy of the three-dimensional (3D) printed cutting guide, and to evaluate the duration of the surgery and the satisfaction of the surgeons with this technique.

Materials And Methods: One controlled group, including 56 patients, operated with a classical genioplasty and one group, including 24 patients operated with the MIGG technique.

Genioplasty with surgical guide using 3D-printing technology: A systematic review.

Background: The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the current state of the art of making genioplasties using 3D printing technology.

Material And Methods: A multi-database single-reviewer systematic review identified sixteen papers that fulfilled the selection criteria. There were mainly case series and case reports available (Level IV of the Oxford Evidence-based medicine scale); only two prospective study (Level III) evaluated this subject.

[Injection of PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) as a treatment for androgenetic alopecia : a systematic review of the literature].

Introduction: Androgenetic alopecia is the most frequent alopecia both in men and women. Despite it affects a large proportion of the population, they are few therapeutic options often restrictive. The injection of PRP in alopecic areas is a new and easy therapeutic option.

[Risk factors generally neglected in oral surgery and implantology: the high LDL-cholesterol and the insufficient level of vitamin D].

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is widespread throughout the world. Vitamin D has an important role in the regulation of phosphocalcic metabolism as well as in a large number of biological and metabolic processes. According to some studies, there is a correlation between vitamin D and LDL-cholesterol levels.
