Cleft lip and palate outcomes: Multidisciplinary approach for comprehensive management.

In patients with cleft lip and palate the most common associated dental problem is lateral incisor agenesis, often associated with lack of support and definition of the nasal tip. In many cases, adhesions deriving from surgical procedures and skeletal discrepancy make orthognathic surgery and rhinoseptoplasty unavoidable. In the present case report a dental rehabilitation with canine substitution and prosthetic-implant treatment in a posterior area is described.

Impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the diagnostic delay of oral carcinoma: a retrospective analysis.

Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate how the organisation of healthcare activity during the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic affected the timing of diagnosis of oral carcinoma in the Functional Head and Neck Department of Padua (Italy). This study gives an effective temporal dimension of the diagnostic delay that occurred during the pandemic, compared with data from the literature.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of the diagnostic path of a patient affected by oral cancer during COVID-19 pandemic was performed.

The Global Impact of COVID-19 on Craniomaxillofacial Surgeons: A Follow-Up Survey After One Year.

Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional.

Objective: To measure the impact that COrona VIrus Disease-19 (COVID-19) has had on craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgeons after 1 year and compare it with 2020 data by () measuring access to adequate personal protective equipment (PPE), () performance of elective surgery, and () the vaccination status. This should be investigated because most CMF surgeons felt that hospitals did not provide them with adequate PPE.

Odontogenic Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Structured Histopathology Evidence in Different Patho-Physiological Mechanisms.

An increased odontogenic chronic rhinosinusitis (oCRS) occurrence rate has quite recently been reported, likely due to an intensification of conservative dental surgery and implantology. The main aim of the study was to report for the first time the structured histopathological characteristics of the surgical specimens of oCRS. Possible associations between histopathological features and oCRS patho-physiological mechanisms were also evaluated.

Bezold's abscess secondary to os tympanicum cholesteatoma in Goldenhar syndrome.

Objectives: The diagnosis of Bezold's abscess can be challenging especially when craniofacial malformations imply facial and cervical morphological asymmetries. In addition, craniofacial malformations might predispose to the occurrence and atypical diffusion pathways of suppurative processes originating from abnormally developed temporal bone structures.

Methods: A 30-year-old female presented with a left laterocervical swelling, worsening over time.
