Background: Dental implantation of bone reconstructions in oncologic situations improves patients' orofacial function and quality of life. There are currently no recommendations on the timing of implantation.
Methods: This systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to compare primary and secondary dental implantation of free bone flaps in reconstructions for malignant tumors of the oral cavity.
Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare benign fibro-osseous neoplasm developing mostly in maxillo-facial bones. OF is divided in cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF), juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF) and psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (PSOF). The aim of this systematic review was to synthetize the existing literature on OF, investigating the clinical and radiological parameters related to the different forms of the disease, and to compare the treatment modalities according to their associated recurrence rate.

Polypharmacy (PP) and hyperpolypharmacy (HPP), are prevalent among cancer patients and are associated with an increased risk of drug-drug interactions (DDI) and potentially inappropriate medications (PIM). This study aimed to characterize PP, HPP, DDI, and PIM in patients with hematological malignancies hospitalized for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) by introducing a novel metric: cumulative drug exposure. Clinical data warehouse (CDW) records were employed to develop algorithms that quantified patients' cumulative exposure to these prescribing determinants during hospitalization.
