Objectives: Cutting-edge patient-specific surgical plates (PSSPs) are supposed to improve the efficiency, precision, and functional outcomes of mandibular reconstruction. This study characterized the premium role of PSSPs in precise surgery and explored their working principles in computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction (CAMR).
Methods: The PSSPs-enhanced surgical precision was investigated through the model surgery and representative cases. Spatial deviations of reconstruction were characterized by comparing the reconstructed mandible with the virtually designed mandible. Working principles of PSSPs were distinguished by a review of evolving surgical techniques in CAMR.
Results: In the model surgery, spatial deviations between the virtually planned mandible and the reconstructed mandible were 1.03 ± 0.43 mm in absolute distance deviation, 1.70 ± 1.26 mm in intercondylar length, and 1.86 ± 0.91 mm in intergonial length in the study group of PSSPs, significantly smaller than in the control group of conventional prebent surgical plates. Meanwhile, in the study group, distance deviations were 0.51 ± 0.19 mm in bone-plate distance and 0.56 ± 0.28 mm in drilled screw holes, indicating the art of matching structures and holes. The PSSPs-enhanced CAMR was further demonstrated in three representative cases of mandibular reconstruction. Finally, four primary techniques of CAMR were summarized based on a review of 8,672 articles. The premium role of PSSPs was distinguished by the benefits of matching structures and holes.
Conclusions: The PSSPs-enhanced surgical precision was verified through the model surgery and demonstrated in human surgery. Compared to other surgical techniques of CAMR, PSSPs contributed to the precise surgery by the art of matching structures and holes.

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.

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).

Objective: This study compared the fracture load, stress distribution, and survival probability under cyclic loading of extensively restored teeth treated with multisonic irrigation with those treated with conventional instrumentation, with or without a post.
Methods: Mesial-occlusal-distal cavities were prepared in 30 human mandibular premolars. The teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 based on the endodontic and restorative procedures: (1) Root canal treatment (RCT) followed by resin composite restoration (control group), (2) RCT followed by a glass fiber post restoration (conventional group), and (3) minimal instrumentation plus multisonic irrigation followed by resin composite restoration (GW group).

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.
