Background: The immune and bone systems are closely linked via cytokine cross-talk. This interdisciplinary field of research is referred to as osteoimmunology and pertains to inflammatory and osteoarticular diseases that feature the primary expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and IL-6.
Objective: Are there bone resorptive processes wherein chronic inflammatory conditions are not linked to TNF-α and IL-6 expression, but rather to the expression of other cytokines?
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed Central.

Condylar resorption is understood as changes in shape and volume of the condylar bone, due to local, systemic, and iatrogenic factors. The occurrence of condylar resorption after orthognathic surgery can occur when the condylar repositioning in mandibular fossa is performed improperly. In addition, systemic diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis seem to influence this process.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to describe the orthognathic surgery techniques for the treatment of occlusal anomalies in those patients who underwent complex maxillomandibular reconstruction with bony free flap.
Materials And Methods: The authors describe their personal technique developed over years of experience with reconstruction of mandibular defects with bony free flaps.
Results: The outcomes in these patients who were treated according to our surgical planning were completely satisfying, with a 100% stability of the treated bones.

Intraosseous arteriovenous maxillomandibular malformations are rare. The diagnosis is primarily clinical (children with pulsatile osseous tumefaction, bleeding at cingulum), completed with imaging techniques (TDM and/or MRI). Arteriography is indicated only at the time of therapeutic management.
