So far, preprosthetic surgery for oral defects improved prosthetic retention problems for only a limited amount of time and led to many side-effects. The alternative offered by the osseointegration technique developed by P.-I. Brånemark changed the concept of preprosthetic surgery dramatically. By means of a few permucosal titanium screws, bridges or overdentures can be retained even in cases of advanced jaw bone resorption. When the latter is extreme, an autologous free bone graft fixed by means of self-tapping titanium implants can offer the necessary support for sometimes elaborate prosthetic reconstructions. The marginal bone loss around Brånemark implants is very limited after a 1st year of bone remodelling, even when an autologous transplant has been used.

Mandibular Reconstruction With a Patient-Specific Implant Following Surgical Excision of an Acanthomatous Ameloblastoma in a Dog.

Canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA) is an invasive benign epithelial odontogenic tumour most commonly affecting the mandible of large breed dogs. To the author's knowledge, this report describes the first computer-aided design patient-specific implant (PSI) that has been placed for a critical sized bone defect in mandibular reconstruction of a dog in the UK. The aim was to restore mandibular stability using a regenerative approach combining a titanium locking plate and compression-resistant matrix infused with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) to bridge the 85 mm mandibular defect created by a segmental mandibulectomy.

A dentigerous cyst (DC) is the most common developmental cystic lesion of the jaws. Histologically, these cysts derive from the odontogenic epithelium that includes the reduced enamel epithelium, epithelial cell rests of Serres, and epithelial cell rests of Malassez. Radiographically, DCs are usually presented as well-defined radiolucencies associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth at the level of the cementoenamel junction (CEJ).

Bone defects caused by trauma, infection, or tumors present a major clinical challenge. Titanium (Ti) implants are widely used due to their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility; however, their high elastic modulus, low surface bioactivity, and susceptibility to infection hinder osseointegration and increase failure rates. There is an increasing demand for implants that can resist bacterial infection while promoting osseointegration.

Oral cancer detection is based on biopsy histopathology, however with digital microscopy imaging technology there is real potential for rapid multi-site imaging and simultaneous diagnostic analysis. Fifty-nine patients with oral mucosal abnormalities were imaged in vivo with a confocal laser endomicroscope using the contrast agents acriflavine and fluorescein for the detection of oral epithelial dysplasia and oral cancer. To analyse the 9168 images frames obtained, three tandem applied pre-trained Inception-V3 convolutional neural network (CNN) models were developed using transfer learning in the PyTorch framework.

Direct resin restoration has been widely used to restore the tooth defect for its convenience and minimal invasion. However, the accuracy of the final contour of class II restoration is often unpredictable and quite technique-sensitive due to the limitation of traditional matrix band system. In this study, the authors developed a novel matrix band system using shape memory polymer (SMP), which possessed two reversible shapes including digitized permanent shape to reproduce anatomical proximal contour and programmable temporary shape for clinical practice and reservation.
