The facial fractures in pediatric patients are rare, and they can need an immediate treatment to recover the function and aesthetic to the young patients. However, the open reduction internal fixation is controversial in pediatrics; it can be effectiveness to treat complex mandible fractures. Therefore, we present a case of a pediatric patient with a complex mandible fracture caused by an auto accident. The immediate treatment was successful with the use of open reduction internal fixation.

The repair of mandibular defects is challenging due to the functional and structural complexity of the mandible. The aim of this study was to evaluate the learning curve of mandibular reconstruction using a vascularized iliac crest free flap (ICFF) performed by a single surgeon. This retrospective study used the cumulative sum (CUSUM) method to analyse the operation times of 60 patients who underwent mandibular reconstruction surgery with an ICFF between 2013 and 2022.

Exocrine glands are important mediators of communication in eusocial insects and the description of novel glands reflects the complex context in which these animals live. Here we revisit the head-associated glands in workers of the Neotropical termite Cornitermes cumulans through histological analysis and describe a novel gland for this caste, the intramandibular glands. This structure is located underneath the cuticle of the dorsodistal part of each mandible.

Primary chronic osteomyelitis (PCO) is a rare non-bacterial autoinflammatory severe disease that most often affects children aged 7 to 12 years and is much less common in adults. The most common areas of lesion are long tubular bones, however, any bones of the skeleton, including the lower jaw, can be affected. The clinical picture of this disease is complex and similar to many tumor and tumor-like bone lesions, which often leads to a significant delay in making a correct diagnosis.

Background: Agnathia-otocephaly complex (AOC) is a rare and complex craniofacial malformation characterized by mandibular hypoplasia or agnathia, auricular fusion, microstomia with oroglossal hypoplasia or aglossia. It has a very bad prognosis and can arise alone or in conjunction with heart defects and forebrain abnormalities.
Case Report: A standard second-trimester ultrasound exam was recommended for, a 23-year-old primigravida woman who was at 22 weeks gestation.

Background Context: Primary spondylodiscitis occurs through the hematogenous spread of a pathogen entering the body via a point of entry. The infection's origin often remains unclear. During dental procedures or through minor traumas, oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream and disseminate throughout the body.
