AI Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new approach to jaw reconstruction using the iliac flap for patients undergoing segmental mandibulectomy, termed "jaw-in-a-day" (JIAD), which allows for simultaneous restoration of bone and dental function.
- Two cases of patients with ameloblastoma were documented, showcasing successful surgical planning and execution, where the iliac crest was modified to enhance implant stability.
- Post-surgery outcomes showed satisfactory functionality and aesthetics, although one case required additional treatment for peri-implantitis, highlighting the need for further research and longer follow-ups on this technique.
Article Abstract
Background: One-stage jaw reconstruction with fibular flap and prosthetic rehabilitation restores bony and dental continuity simultaneously. It was also called as "jaw-in-a-day (JIAD)" technique. However, bone volume and height of fibular flap may be insufficient for dental implant insertion. The provision of a considerable amount of bone makes an iliac flap the ideal choice in these cases. We present the first case report to document the use of one-stage jaw reconstruction and prosthetic rehabilitation with the iliac flap.
Case Presentation: We modified the conventional JIAD workflow to make it suitable for iliac flap. Two cases were presented who both underwent segmental mandibulectomy for ameloblastoma. Virtual surgical planning was performed in all cases. The iliac crest was positioned upward to provide cortical bone for achieving primary stability of dental implants. Similar to the "all-on-4" procedure, the iliac bone was placed 12 to 15 mm below the occlusal plane to create adequate space for the implant-retained prosthesis. Immediate implant-based dental rehabilitation was performed at same stage. The surgery was successful in all cases without any short-term complications. In the first postoperative week, patients were given a liquid diet through a nasal feeding tube. The liquid diet is advised until 1 month after the surgery. Thereafter, a soft diet is recommended. Patients were advised to resume routine mastication and normal diet 3 months after the surgery. Peri-implantitis occurred in one patient, and additional gingival graft was required. Postoperative function and esthetics were satisfactory at the last follow-up visit.
Conclusions: One-stage jaw reconstruction and prosthetic rehabilitation with the iliac flap are safe and useful for restoring postoperative function and esthetics. It should be used in more cases with a longer follow-up in further studies.

Across-surface distances after one- and two-stage palatoplasty in children with oral cleft.

The goal of this study was to digitally evaluate the development of maxillary dental arches of children with unilateral cleft lip and palate treated with one- and two-stage palatal closure. One hundred and sixty-eight digitized dental models of cheiloplasty and one-stage palatoplasty (G1) and cheiloplasty and two-stage palatoplasty (G2) were evaluated at preoperative time 1 (T1), preoperative time 2 (T2), and postoperative (T3). The following surface distances were evaluated: across surface distance; cleft widths anterior (P-P') and posterior (U-U') cleft widths, intercanine width (C-C'), and intertuberosity width (T-T'); smallest (P'-T') and largest (P-T) segment lengths; and smallest (C'-D') and largest (C-D) segment cleft depths.

Article Synopsis
- Facial paralysis occurs due to damage to the facial nerve, significantly impacting both appearance and functionality, especially after surgeries for tumors in the face.
- This review focuses on innovative surgical techniques for late-stage facial paralysis, particularly dynamic repair methods involving the transplantation of nerves and muscles, highlighting various surgical options and their outcomes.
- Findings suggest that while different muscle flap techniques (like the masseter, temporalis, gracilis, latissimus dorsi, and serratus anterior) each have unique benefits and drawbacks, combined approaches may offer more effective and natural results for restoring facial movement.

Objectives: One stage functional jaw reconstruction is defined as the resection and reconstruction of segmental defects in conjunction with the placement of dental implants in an ideal prosthetic position and loaded with a provisional restoration, during one surgical procedure. The aim of the study is to describe clinical outcomes of patients who underwent one stage functional jaw reconstruction.
Methods: Patients who underwent one-stage functional jaw reconstruction, from January 2013 to March 2016 were recalled in 2022 and 2023.
