Objective: The aim of authors' study was to present their 10-year experience in the treatment of giant ossifying fibroma (GOF), and to prove if GOF can be totally excised preventing recurrence. The authors' secondary goal was to study the aesthetic and functional outcomes after radical resection of GOF followed by immediate reconstruction.
Methods: Eighteen patients who underwent radical ablative surgery of GOF of the jaw followed by immediate reconstruction with vascularized fibula flap or ilium flap between May 2003 and May 2013 were taken. Recurrence rate was statistically observed and 2-year postoperative aesthetic and functional outcomes were evaluated.
Results: The average length of follow-up was 4.5 years. There was no residual tumor or tumor recurrence observed in any patient during the mean follow-up of 4.5 years, and good cosmesis and functional outcome was noted after ablative surgery of GOF followed by computer-assisted reconstruction.
Conclusions: For giant OF, if it is mainly located in the jaws without invasion of the skull base and/or pterygoid process, radical surgical treatment should be performed for prevention of tumor recurrence. And good aesthetic and functional results can be achieved by immediate computer-assisted reconstruction and dental rehabilitation.

Background: Kirner deformity is a rare anomaly of the little finger in adolescents, characterized by a deformity of the distal phalanx and a radiologically L-shaped epiphysis, along with palmar and radial angulation of the distal phalanx. Due to the rarity of these pathological findings, there are no systematic literature reviews available. This work serves as an overview of the clinical presentation, frequency and age distributions, as well as possible conservative and surgical treatment options.

This cross-sectional observational study aimed to investigate the relationship between satisfaction with facial appearance among young women, as measured by the FACE-Q tool, and facial asymmetry quantified through stereophotogrammetry. A total of 50 women aged 18 to 30 years with a normal body mass index were recruited for the study. Participants were categorized as either symmetrical or asymmetrical based on facial asymmetry assessments obtained through clinical examination and stereophotogrammetry using the Vectra M3 system.

Background: Nasal septal abscesses (NSA) necessitate prompt recognition and management to prevent morbidity and long-term sequelae. To date, no comprehensive review of NSA alone has been conducted.
Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the presentation and management of NSA and determine patients at risk of sequelae.

Prosthetic rehabilitation in multifaceted dental abnormality needs sequential planning to ensure adaptation of oral and associated musculature. Reduction of tooth structure before adaptation of oral and associated components may complicate the treatment modality if compliance of the musculature is poor. Hence, the fabrication of over-provisional in esthetic rehabilitation enables to assess of the success of the treatment plan preoperatively before invasive trials.
