Bilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients commonly require surgical management to treat maxillary hypoplasia following the primary repair. Rarer is the CLP patient who also presents with a missing premaxillary segment. Here the authors present the case of a 19-year-old female with a history of bilateral CLP who demonstrated significant maxillary hypoplasia in addition to a large premaxillary defect. To correct this deformity, LeFort I advancement with fibular reconstruction of the maxilla and dental implant placement was performed as a single surgical procedure. The authors discuss the advantages of undergoing this single-staged operation. By utilizing virtual surgical planning (VSP) and incorporating a multidisciplinary team within the operating room, the patient was able to successfully undergo maxillary reconstruction and dental implant placement in a single operation.

A small, pristinely preserved specimen recently collected from the Dolese Brothers limestone quarry near Richards Spur, Oklahoma provides evidence for the presence of a new early Permian parareptile at this locality. The specimen includes an articulated, nearly complete skull roof, and with the right premaxilla, right quadratojugal, most of the right palate, as well as the right epipterygoid and the sphenethmoid preserved inside. Although similar in many respects to the other contemporary parareptiles , and , it can be distinguished from other acleistorhinids by the presence of a number of autapomorphies related to its dentition.

Lymphomas are the most common nonepithelial malignancy in the head and neck region. Among these, non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is the most prevalent, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histologic subtype. NHL is known for its propensity for extranodal involvement, which can affect any anatomical location.

Background: Significant discrepancies exist in the reported variables influencing alveolar bone graft outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate graft success and identify outcome predictors in a large patient cohort using an objective cone beam computed tomography assessment tool.
Methods: Consecutive patients with cleft lip/palate who underwent alveolar bone grafting by 1 surgeon were included.
