Background: Few reports have compared reconstructive outcomes of primary versus secondary mandibular reconstruction.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 149 patients following primary (n = 110) and secondary reconstruction (n = 39).
Results: There was no statistically significant difference in patient demographics between the 2 groups. The secondary reconstruction mandibular defects were more extensive; significantly more involved the condyle or the central portion of the mandible. The vascularized fibular flap was most commonly used (primary 82%, secondary 69%). The overall complication rate was similar in both groups. There was no statistical difference in the frequency of complications between the primary or secondary reconstruction groups (acute, p = .40; late, p = .17).
Conclusions: Success in secondary mandibular reconstruction could be achieved utilizing a range of osseous free flaps, and there was no increased rate of complications compared with primary mandibular reconstructions.

Human-driven changes in land cover and use can significantly impact species ants community structures, often leading to a decline in taxonomic diversity or species homogenization. Ant morphology, used as a proxy for ecological function, offers a valuable framework for understanding the effects of anthropogenic disturbances on ant diversity. This study explored the morphological diversity of ant assemblages in agricultural ecosystems and secondary forests in Italy and the Brazilian Amazon, analyzing how these communities are structured and adapted to different environments.

Article Synopsis
- Uremic leontiasis ossia (ULO) is a rare condition linked to renal osteodystrophy in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH), causing bone deformities that can lead to a 'leonine' facial appearance.
- The case study focuses on a 39-year-old female patient undergoing treatment, who exhibited significant symptoms and had elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, confirmed by CT scans.
- Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach including surgery and management of SHPTH to correct anatomical issues and prevent further complications.

Introduction: Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory condition of the bone with a multifactorial etiology, including trauma and odontogenic infections. Despite being a common condition in clinical practice, limited research exists on the clinical and pathological profile of Osteomyelitis of the Jaws (OJ). This 51-year retrospective study aimed to describe the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features of OJ diagnosed at a single oral pathology referral center.

Objectives: The primary objective was to evaluate the influence of sagittal skeletal pattern on mandibular movement (MM) during sleep in growing orthodontic populations. The secondary objective was to compare MM according to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) status.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study included subjects between 6 and 17 years old, presenting with class I, II, and III skeletal patterns and no previous history of orthodontic treatment.
