Surgical procedures in the oral cavity and maxillofacial complex are diverse and involve multiple tissues unique to this region. These procedures are used to remove pathology and infection, restore function, optimize occlusal relationships, prosthetically replace teeth and temporomandibular joints, improve esthetics, and increase upper respiratory tract dimensions. Procedures in the oral cavity are often complicated by infection stemming from the naturally occurring oral flora, but can also be complicated iatrogenically. This article explores the more commonly encountered surgical procedures through examination of the indications, anatomy to consider, and the radiographic imaging of success and failure of these procedures.

Objective: To develop a clinical automated diagnostic system for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) based on the diagnostic criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) to assist dentists in making rapid and accurate clinical diagnosis of TMD.
Methods: Clinical and imaging data of 354 patients, who visited the Center for TMD & Orofacial Pain at Peking University Hospital of Stomatology from September 2023 to January 2024, were retrospectively collected. The study developed a clinical automated diagnostic system for TMD using the DC/TMD, built on the.
Changes of temporomandibular joint space volume during 1 year after transoral vertical ramus osteotomy in patients with mandibular asymmetry.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, 211 Eonju-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 06273, Korea.
This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the difference in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) space volume between the deviated (Dev) and non-deviated (NDev) side following transoral vertical ramus osteotomy (TOVRO) in patients with mandibular prognathism combined with asymmetry using reconstructed 3-dimensional images. Sixty joints from 30 patients who underwent TOVRO between January 2018 and December 2021 were included. Computed tomography (CT) or cone-beam CT was performed before surgery (T0), and 6 (T1) and 12 months postoperatively (T2).

Mandibular condyle fractures pose surgical challenges owing to their proximity to the facial nerve and the complex temporomandibular joint anatomy. Traditional approaches limit exposure and hinder effective fracture management. The preauricular transparotid approach is a potential alternative.
