The application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in oral and maxillofacial surgery has been thoroughly studied in the last two decades. Currently, different types of PRP are applied in the clinical practice, being the presence or absence of leukocytes one of the classification criteria. However, there is poor evidence assessing the influence of the PRP composition in their efficacy. In this context, the aim of this narrative review is to compile the existing evidence covering the efficacy of PRP in oral and maxillofacial surgery, starting from a systematic literature search and to qualitatively describe the efficacy outcomes from the composition perspective. According to the results of this review, the application of PRP in oral and maxillofacial surgery is a potential strategy to improve soft- and hard-tissue regeneration, observing differences in the efficacy of PRP depending on its composition and the studied application. -PRP (the absence of leukocytes) has been more consistent in achieving beneficial effects in alveolar ridge preservation, management of post-extraction complications, bone augmentation and temporomandibular joint disorders. For that, the composition and methodology used to prepare the PRP should be a critical point when evaluating the efficacy of PRP.

Micro- and nanomorphological modification and roughening of titanium implant surfaces can enhance osseointegration; however, the optimal morphology remains unclear. Laser processing of implant surfaces has demonstrated significant potential due to its precision, controllability, and environmental friendliness. Femtosecond lasers, through precise optimization of processing parameters, can modify the surface of any solid material to generate micro- and nanomorphologies of varying scales and roughness.

The Evaluation of the Pterygomaxillary Separation Pattern in Le Fort I Osteotomy Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

Pterygomaxillary separation (PMS) is an important step in Le Fort I osteotomy procedure, without which complete mobilization of the maxilla cannot be achieved. The aim of this study was to evaluate PMS patterns and their relationship with the anatomic measurements in Le Fort I osteotomy. In this prospective observational study cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to measure the anatomic variables of the pterygomaxillary junction (PMJ) region including thickness, width, the distance between the most concave point at the lateral surface of PMJ and the greater palatine foramen (C-GPF), and the angle preoperatively, and the separation patterns postoperatively divided into the clean-cut type, maxillary sinus type, and the pterygoid fracture type.

The aim of the present study is to introduce a new anthropometric landmark (sap), parameter (sap-sap) for measuring a width of nasal tip and 7 new proportion indexes. For determinate data mean with standard deviation, 200 healthy individuals (100 men and 100 women) were included in the study. The authors determined and pointed 9 paired cranio-facial anthropometric landmarks: sap, al, ac, mf, en, ex, zy, ch, go.

Organic fluorescence and colorimetric probes have emerged as vital tools for detecting metal ions, due to their high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response times. Copper, an essential trace element, plays a critical role in biological systems, yet its imbalance can lead to severe disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and Wilson's disease. Over the past few years, advancements in probe design have unlocked innovative avenues for not only detecting Cu in environmental and biological samples but also for visualizing its distribution through fluorescence imaging.
