Extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is infrequent in the oral cavity and constitutes 3.5% of oral cancers, and less than 2.2% of maxillofacial lymphomas. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) accounts for 40% of NHL and has a 5-year survival rate of less than 30%. Early detection of extranodal NHL by dental personnel is extremely important as a delay in diagnosis can result in the cancer being diagnosed at an advanced stage and a poor prognosis. A 60-year-old male presented with an uncharacteristic asymptomatic rapidly enlarging swelling of the anterior maxilla, which on histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis was diagnosed as DLBCL. Imaging studies showed bone invasion and lymph node metastasis with poor prognosis. The patient received radiotherapy and chemotherapy but died within 3 months of diagnosis. A literature search revealed one another case with anterior maxilla occurrence, as the few oral DLBCL so far reported have appeared on the posterior palate or other intraoral sites.

Introduction: The infratemporal fossa (ITF) is considered an uncommon location for giant cell granuloma (GCG), a rare benign disease that is frequently detected in the maxilla and mandible.
Presentation Of Case: A 47-year-old male presented with right-sided hearing loss, tinnitus, and jaw claudication. Radiological imaging confirmed the presence of a mass in the ITF accompanied by bone erosion.

Department of Implantology, The Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, School of Stomatology, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects of deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen (DBBMC) combined with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) on facial alveolar bone augmentation in the anterior maxillary region.
Materials And Methods: Patients receiving dental implant placement with simultaneous lateral bone augmentation using DBBM (control group) or DBBMC combined with DBBM (test group) were included in the study. The radiographic assessment of facial alveolar bone, such as facial horizontal bone thickness (FHBT), facial vertical bone level (FVBL), and square of facial bone (SFB), was taken by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Long-term follow-up of posterior implant restorations showing under-occlusion: a superimposition analysis of dentition change.

Department of Prosthodontics, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Republic of Korea.
Under-occlusion ('infraocclusion' as defined in the natural teeth) after implant restoration in the posterior area is commonly encountered in clinical practice; however, it has rarely been reported. Most importantly, the under-occlusion change mechanism remains unknown. The purpose of this case report was to analyze how the dentition of both arches changed in a patient, including teeth tilting, elongation and occlusal plane change with under-occlusion of the posterior implant restoration after long-term function.

The retrospective study aimed to compare the space-maintaining effects of sticky bone (bone graft matrix enriched with injectable platelet-rich fibrin) and titanium mesh for bone augmentation in the aesthetic zone. Patients who underwent single implant placement and had type 2/4 alveolar bone defects (buccal bone wall loss is >50% of the expected implant length) were screened for inclusion in this study. The labial bone plate width was measured at 1, 3, and 5 mm below the apical implant platform on cone beam computed tomography images taken immediately and 6 months after surgery.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the miniplate application sites in the maxilla and the applied force vector changes during skeletally supported facemask application in adolescent patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) using finite element model (FEM) analysis.
Methods: A FEM was obtained from a cone-beam computed tomography image of a 12-year-old female patient with UCLP. Miniplates were placed on 3 different sites of the maxilla; 500 g of advancement force was applied bilaterally, parallel (0°), and downward (-30°) to the occlusal plane.
