Published: December 2022

The oral cavity is a highly regenerative epithelial tissue that results in minimal scarring after injury. This protocol describes the preparation of a mouse palate wound model. The protocol includes steps to place an excisional wound on the mouse palate, followed by harvesting of wound tissue and bone decalcification. We detail how to overcome the technical challenge of limited anatomical space, avoid damaging the nasal cavity, manage bleeding, and collect tissue for downstream genomic or immunohistochemical analysis.

: Tooth extraction induces significant alveolar ridge dimensional changes and soft tissue modifications, often leading to challenges in implant placement or conventional prosthetic rehabilitation. Alveolar Ridge Preservation (ARP) strategies aim to mitigate post-extraction resorption of the alveolar ridge, enhancing both the quality and quantity of bone and soft tissue during healing. Hyaluronic acid (HYA) has emerged as a promising biological agent for ARP due to its osteoinductive, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Objective: To evaluate the wound healing of recipient and donor sites following keratinized mucosa augmentation (KMA) around implants in reconstructed jaw areas and to compare these outcomes with gingival grafts in native jawbone, so as to provide clinical guidance for postoperative maintenance, and to investigate the impact of clinical experience on the evaluation of KMA postoperative healing through subgroup comparisons.

Methods: This study included patients who underwent resection of maxillofacial tumors, fibular or iliac flap reconstruction, and implant placement at Peking University Dental Hospital from October 2020 to April 2023. Three months post-implant placement, the patients were referred for KMA procedures.

Department of Oral Surgery, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Medical University of Varna, 9002 Varna, Bulgaria.

Post-extraction ridge resorption is an inevitable phenomenon that cannot be eliminated but is significantly reduced using additional surgical techniques known as socket preservation. They aim to create favorable conditions for implant placement and prosthetic restoration. This study aims to assess the effect of socket sealing (SS) with free gingival grafts on the vertical resorption of socket walls at the premolar and molar regions over 3 months.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of posterior lateral perforator flap in lower limb combined with free fibula for maxillary tissue defect repair.

Methods: Between December 2018 and December 2023, 16 patients with the maxillary malignant tumors were admitted. There were 10 males and 6 females, with an average age of 64.

Introduction: Alveolar cleft grafting is crucial in cleft lip and palate rehabilitation, promoting maxillary continuity and facilitating dental development. While autologous bone grafts are the gold standard, combining them with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and xenografts like Bio-Oss has the potential to enhance bone regeneration and long-term stability. This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of combining autologous cortico-cancellous bone grafts, PRP, and Bio-Oss in alveolar cleft repair.
