Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes after an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of condylar neck and base fractures (CNBFs) with a trapezoidal shape plate in patients using a less invasive transparotid approach.

Methods: Fifteen patients with condylar fractures were classified according to the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen Craniomaxillofacial (AOCMF) classification system, treated by ORIF with a trapezoidal plate.

Article Synopsis
  • - A 35-year-old man with stage III periodontitis underwent a two-stage treatment for multiple RT3 gingival recessions on his lower front teeth, which had limited keratinized tissue.
  • - The first stage involved a modified connective tissue graft (m-CTG) to enhance root coverage and tissue thickness, along with regenerative factors that led to improvement in the recession type from RT3 to RT2.
  • - In the second stage, a tunneled coronally advanced flap (TCAF) was performed, resulting in significant improvements in clinical attachment level, root coverage, and overall gingival health by the 12-month follow-up.
