Clinical evaluation of autologous fat graft for facial deformity: a case series study.
J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg
August 2021
Objectives: The use of fat grafts in maxillofacial sculpturing is currently a common technique. Unlike fillers, autologous fats unite with facial tissues, but long-term results may still be unsatisfactory. Sharing long-term follow-ups can be helpful in making outcomes more predictable.

J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg
June 2018
Objectives: The role of alloplastic materials in maxillofacial reconstruction is still controversial. Determining the utility of porous, high-density, polyethylene implants as a highly stable and flexible, porous alloplast, with properties such as rapid vascularization and tissue ingrowth, is crucial in cases of maxillofacial deformities and aesthetic surgery.
Materials And Methods: Thirty high-density porous polyethylene implants were implanted in 16 patients that had been referred to a private office over a three-year period.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the unclear cause of Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) by determining whether the oral mucosa or alveolar bone is the initial site for its development.
- Sixty male Wistar rats were used, with half receiving the drug zoledronate and the other half receiving saline, and they were monitored for signs of bone exposure and necrosis after dental extractions.
- Results showed that injuries to the alveolar bone significantly increased the frequency of bone exposure and necrosis compared to injuries to the oral mucosa, suggesting that alveolar bone damage is a stronger trigger for BRONJ.
Objective: Previously published animal investigations on bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) showed a variety of methods for BRONJ induction and inconsistent findings. The aim of present study was to develop a reliable protocol for BRONJ induction in rat animal model.
Subjects And Methods: In a pilot study, 64 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups and 16 subgroups (each containing 2 experimental and 2 control rats) based on the timing of tooth extraction and euthanasia.
