Management of patients with inherited bleeding disorders in oral surgery: A 13-year experience.

Introduction: The management of patients with inherited bleeding disorders in oral surgery requires the systematic evaluation of bleeding risk and the setting up of an adequate treatment protocol by the referring haematologist, defining a replacement therapy and a recommended length of hospital stay. The purpose of this study was to determine the bleeding risk associated with oral surgery for each type of inherited bleeding disorder and to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment protocols set up in our tertiary care center.

Materials And Methods: We included all patients with an inherited bleeding disorder, managed in our oral and maxillofacial surgery department with a treatment protocol set up by our local Haemophilia Treatment Centre for an oral surgical procedure.

Clinical impact of two types of mandibular retention devices - A CAD/CAM design and a traditional design - On upper airway volume in obstructive sleep apnea patients.

Objective: This pilot randomized crossover study evaluated the outcomes of two custom-made mandibular retention devices (MRDs), a computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) device (Narval CC™) and a non-CAD/CAM device (Narval™), on oropharyngeal airway volume in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).

Methods: 12 OSA patients were recruited from an University Hospital for MRD therapy with either CAD/CAM or non-CAD/CAM first. A cone-beam computed tomography evaluation (CBCT) and polysomnography assessment was performed during baseline assessment and at the end of each study period.

Do mandibular miniplates increase the risk of complex fracture in facial trauma recurrence? Case series.

Whether to conserve or remove miniplates, widely used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, has not been agreed on in the literature. Complications such as pain, infection, and screw exposure or loosening have already been largely described. We present the consequences of a trauma recurrence on a mandible with miniplates.
