AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new method for enhancing lower eyelids by repositioning infraorbital fat through intraoral anchoring during transconjunctival blepharoplasty.
- The study involved 14 patients, averaging about 37 years old, who experienced significant improvement in grooves and midfacial depression, with all reporting satisfaction and no major complications post-surgery.
- This technique offers a customized, effective approach to lower eyelid rejuvenation with minimal recovery time and fewer clinic visits compared to traditional methods.
Article Abstract
Background: Prominent tear trough deformity and midfacial depression are the first priority in periorbital rejuvenation. To achieve harmonious lower eyelid improvement, we developed a novel approach to reposition infraorbital fat using intraoral anchoring in transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
Methods: Fourteen patients were included. Blepharoplasty involved infraorbital fat repositioning by intraoral anchoring via a transconjunctival incision to address depression and grooves deformities. Optimal fat repositioning can be achieved by intraorally manipulating suture tension. Photographs were taken both preoperatively and postoperatively. Time of operation, complications, recovery time, and postoperative outcomes were evaluated.
Results: Fourteen patients underwent blepharoplasty between August of 2018 and December of 2018. Their mean age was 36.9 ± 6.1 years. Grooves deformities and depression were eliminated, and the periorbital contour significantly improved. All patients were satisfied with postoperative outcomes. There were no major complications observed.
Conclusions: Intraoral anchoring of the infraorbital fat pedicles yields a significantly improved lower eyelid appearance and requires minimum clinic visits and an extremely short recovery time. In addition, the maneuverable intraoral anchoring allows for customization of patient aesthetics. This approach can be regarded as a true alternative for lower lid rejuvenation, and the outcome is straightforward and predictable.

Large defects in the hard palate can be difficult to treat surgically, as dehiscence is common. These defects may instead be managed with a palatal obturator, which can serve to separate the oral and nasal cavities. In this report, a 7-year-old, mixed breed dog was treated with a palatal obturator, after presenting with an acquired palatal defect following treatment of a giant cell tumor of bone in the hard palate.

The following case report presents the treatment of a patient with severe maxillary atrophy and failing residual dentition. The patient has been diagnosed with stage IV grade C periodontitis, making this case challenging from the very beginning. The treatment plan was based on collecting and merging digital data: CBCT, a face scan, and an intraoral scan.

Skeletally anchored maxillary protraction using screw-anchored mini-plates combined with intraoral elastics has shown promising results in achieving orthopedic changes and maintaining the outcome until the completion of the growth. This case report presents the course of treatment in a patient with unilateral cleft lip and palate and multiple congenitally missing teeth treated with bone-anchored maxillary protraction until the end of growth.

Surgical navigation has advanced maxillofacial surgery since the 1990s, bringing benefits for various indications. Traditional registration methods use fiducial markers that are either invasively bone-anchored or attached to a dental vacuum splint and offer high accuracy but necessitate additional imaging with increased radiation exposure. We propose a novel, non-invasive registration protocol using a CAD/CAM dental splint based on high-resolution intraoral scans.
