Purpose: Comprehensive evaluation of the effects of using computer-aided design and space retention guide technology to reconstruct mandibular defects using vascularized autogenous bone flaps.
Method: This study included 8 patients who received autogenous bone flaps (2 cases of vascularized fibula flaps and 6 cases of vascularized iliac flaps) for mandibular defect reconstruction at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, from July 2018 to May 2021. All patients received digital surgery planning, computer aided design/computer aided manufacture, surgical guide technique for the removal of diseased bone segments, as well as vascularized fibular flap/iliac flap reconstruction. Three-dimensional deviations were analyzed after the operation.
Result: The mandibular defects of all 8 patients were successfully reconstructed using the vascularized fibular flap/iliac bone flap. There were no serious complications at either the donor site or recipient site during our follow-up. The average three-dimensional deviation of all 8 patients was 1.92 mm, based on comparisons of preoperative design and actual postoperative computed tomography.
Conclusion: Utilizing computer aided design/computer aided manufacture, we designed a new mandibular space-retention guide, which can accurately translate the preoperative digital design plan to real-time surgery with satisfactory accuracy and efficacy.

Immune-mediated bone regeneration driven by bone biomaterials offers a therapeutic strategy for repairing bone defects. Among 2D nanomaterials, TiCT MXenes have garnered substantial attention for their potential in tissue regeneration. This investigation concentrates on the role of MXene nanocomposites in modulating the immune microenvironment within bone defects to facilitate bone tissue restoration.

This novel hybrid single-double-single barrel (1-2-1) design for fibula free flap reconstruction addresses the unique challenges presented by Brown Class III mandibular defects, which involve long-span defects at both bodies of the mandible and the chin. The importance of this design lies in its ability to overcome the limitations of traditional approaches in terms of mandible height and pedicle length, while optimizing both functional and esthetic outcomes.The technique utilizes a combination of single-double-single barrel fibula segments to achieve ideal esthetics and support for dental prosthesis across different areas of the mandible.

Unlabelled: Uremic leontiasis ossia (ULO) is a rare manifestation of renal osteodystrophy in) patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH). It occurs due to increased osteoclastic activity secondary to high plasmatic parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. This leads to bone deformation with thickening and massive enlargement of the cranial vault, resulting in a leonine face appearance.

In cases of large mandibular continuity defects resulting from malignancy resection, the current standard of care involves using patient-specific/custom titanium reconstruction plates along with autogenous grafts (fibula, scapula, or iliac crest segments). However, when grafts are not feasible or desired, only the reconstruction plate is used to bridge the gap. Unfortunately, metal osteosynthesis and reconstruction plates, including titanium, exhibit adverse effects such as stress-shielding and limitations in accurate postoperative irradiation (especially with proton-beam therapy).

Background: To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of taurodontism in northern China by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and assisting the treatment.
Methods: The study involved CBCT scans of 8112 teeth from 507 participants of northern China, comprising 217 males and 290 females aged 18 to 60. Analysis was conducted using Shifman and Chanannel's criteria to assess the prevalence and attributes of taurodontism, examining differences based on tooth position (maxilla and mandible) as well as gender (P < 0.
