Objective: The aim was to determine the soft-to-hard tissue ratios in profile view in bimaxillary orthognathic surgical corrections.

Material And Methods: A systematic review of studies published in different languages was performed by searching the Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Lilacs, Scopus, and Science Direct databases up to August 2015. Additional studies were identified by reference analyses. The methodological quality was evaluated using the instrument developed by the Effective Public Health Practice Project and the Level of Evidence using the Level of Evidence scale from the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine.

Results: The search identified 16 articles; one of which was included from the manual reference search. The analysis of bias revealed weak methodological quality for all the studies included (LOE IV). The studies were retrospective and presented widely varying ratios. In sagittal movements Sn:ANS showed consistency in the evaluations with 60%-90% ratios in five articles. Pn:A presented 66%-90% when V-Y suturing is executed and Ls:U1 ratio was 60%-100% in 6 articles. In vertical direction, poor data are available, considering Sn:A between 54% and 91% in 3 articles and Ls:U1 between 66% and 97% in 3 articles. The Mla-to-point B ratio in sagittal movements was 100% in six articles and Pg-to-sPg demonstrated a relationship between 90% and 100% in 8 articles.

Conclusion: Soft-to-hard tissue ratios varied greatly in literature. The results for the mentolabial angle and soft Pogonion changes were apparently more uniform. The low LOE of the studies prevented a more in-depth analysis.

Melatonin stabilizes atherosclerotic plaques: an association that should be clinically exploited.

Front Med (Lausanne)

December 2024

Atherosclerosis is the underlying factor in the premature death of millions of humans annually. The cause of death is often a result of the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque followed by the discharge of the associated molecular debris into the vessel lumen which occludes the artery leading to ischemia of downstream tissue and to morbidity or mortality of the individual. This is most serious when it occurs in the heart (heart attack) or brain (stroke).

Objectives: To investigate soft-to-hard tissue response following mandibular reconstruction and to develop a predictive model for projecting soft tissue movement.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, 18 patients receiving mandibular reconstruction using a vascularized iliac flap were enrolled. Various indicators for characterizing the movement of tissues were considered to identify the effective predictors for projecting soft tissue movements.

Accuracy of the CAD/CAM technique compared with the conventional technique used for stand-alone genioplasty.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg

September 2024

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Plastic Surgery, Klinikum Bremen-Mitte, Medical School of the University of Göttingen, Bremen, Germany.

The benefit of the computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technique for stand-alone genioplasty remains uncertain and was evaluated in this study. Patients who underwent a conventional genioplasty (n = 20) or genioplasty with the CAD/CAM technique (n = 20), and for whom cephalometry and photogrammetry were performed before and 6 months after surgery, were included. Deviations from predictions of the soft tissue pogonion (Pg'), lip inferior point to aesthetic line (Li-Esth), facial convexity angle (FCA), mentolabial angle (MLA), and ratios of soft to hard tissue movements were calculated.

The chin is a crucial component of facial aesthetics, and 20% of craniofacial problems require repair of the chin size, shape, and position. Genioplasty is used to treat irregularities in all three planes of the chin. Specific hard and soft tissue relapses following various genioplasty techniques have not been adequately studied in the literature to date.

Facilitating regeneration of the tendon-to-bone interface can reduce the risk of postoperative retear after rotator cuff repair. Unfortunately, undesirable inflammatory responses following injury, difficulties in fibrocartilage regeneration, and bone loss in the surrounding area are major contributors to suboptimal tendon-bone healing. Thus, the development of biomaterials capable of regulating macrophage polarization to a favorable phenotype and promoting the synchronous regeneration of the tendon-to-bone interface is currently a top priority.
