Treatment planning decisions in the transverse dimension have historically been based on the presenting mandibular arch width and form. Distraction osteogenesis (DO), originally developed by Russian orthopedic surgeon Ilizarov, has produced significant results in limb lengthening. Mandibular symphyseal DO was introduced by Guerrero, providing a new paradigm for patients whose treatment alternatives and results were previously limited. Orthodontic and surgical techniques and principles will be shown using completed and current cases.

Article Synopsis
- Fibroma ossificans are generally well-defined but not often encapsulated tumors, presenting challenges for treatment choices in maxillofacial surgery.
- A case involving a 17-year-old woman with a 6-year-old mandibular swelling revealed a benign tumor, confirmed by imaging and histological examination, leading to successful surgical resection and reconstruction.
- The report highlights the importance of considering clinical and radiological features in managing ossifying fibroids, as treatment can be invasive.

Background: The main goal of management of the mandibular fracture is to obtain the pre-injury contour of the bone and pre-injury occlusion as well as regain function early. For Parasymphyseal fractures, the ideal fixation method is still debatable. It could range from rigid to semi-rigid fixation.

Symphyseal fractures of the mandible with concomitant bilateral condylar fractures can often be a particularly challenging fracture pattern for the facial surgeon. Improper reduction of these fractures may lead to facial widening that proves difficult to correct secondarily. Here the authors describe a method to prevent this unwanted facial widening with the use of an orthopedic periarticular reduction clamp.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of single implants in the symphyseal and parasymphyseal regions with that of two implants in complete mandibular overdentures.
Patients And Methods: Fifteen completely edentulous male patients (50-65 years) were chosen and randomly grouped into three equal groups (five patients in each) according to the position and number of the received implants to assist mandibular complete overdentures: group I: single median implant; group II: single parasymphyseal implant; and group III: two implants were inserted in the canine area bilaterally. After three months of osseointegration, the lower denture was transformed into an implant-assisted complete mandibular overdenture.

Objective: Although several sealers have been developed, the zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) sealer is still used in many private dental clinics. This study aimed to compare the biocompatibility and remineralizing capacity οf ZOE sealer with the addition of nanohydroxyapatite-tyrosine amino acid.
Methods: This study was conducted on Twenty rabbits.
