The Use of Piezosurgery in Genioplasty.

The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative complications during genioplasty using piezosurgery devices or traditional rotating drills. Forty patients underwent genioplasty to solve their chin anomalies. This study showed that, using piezosurgery, pain and swelling were reduced compared to the traditional technique in the immediate postoperative period of healing (within 15 days).

Multidisciplinary approach to fused maxillary central incisors: a case report.

Introduction: The fusion of permanent teeth is a development anomaly of dental hard tissue. It may require a hard multidisciplinary approach with orthodontics, endodontics, surgery and prosthetics to solve aesthetic and functional problems.

Case Presentation: A 20-year-old Caucasian man presented to our Department to solve a dental anomaly of his upper central incisors.

Alternative transoral approach for intranasal tooth extraction.

Intranasal ectopic eruption is an uncommon condition. Even if an intranasal tooth can be completely asymptomatic, sometimes a variety of nasal signs and symptoms may be associated, ranging from mild nasal congestion to recurrent epistaxis and purulent rhinorrhea. As a consequence, surgical removal is often required.

Use of piezosurgery device in management of surgical dental implant complication: a case report.

An implant displacement into the maxillary sinus could be a complication of implant surgery in the upper jaw. In such cases, implant removal is needed to avoid the occurrence of sinus pathologies. Piezosurgery techniques could assure safer management of such complications because of clear surgical visibility and a selective ability to cut.

Sublingual ranula: a closer look to its surgical management.

Ranulas have been managed by various surgical methods, and the optimal treatment is still controversial. The aim of this study was to analyze a group of 124 surgically treated patients with intraoral ranula to assess 3 different methods: sublingual gland removal combined with the ranula excision, conventional marsupialization, and a variant of the marsupialization technique usually performed in our departments. Recurrence rate was 0% after radical treatment, 25.
