Article Synopsis
- The free fibular flap (FFF) is an effective method for reconstructing maxillofacial defects and serves as a viable alternative for patients with micrognathia when traditional surgeries can't be performed.
- A case study of a 28-year-old woman highlights the successful use of FFF for lengthening her mandible, after previous TMJ surgery caused difficulties in mouth opening and other functional challenges.
- Post-surgery, the patient showed significant improvements in aesthetics, occlusal function, and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, demonstrating the effectiveness of FFF in treating micrognathia.
Treatment of Posttraumatic Zygomatic Coronoid Ankylosis. Systematic Review.

Department of CHIRMED, Maxillofacial Facial Unit, University of Catania, Catania, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Facial trauma often results from accidents, fights, or sports, primarily affecting the mandible, midface, and temporomandibular joint, with coronoid process fractures being rare.
- The study examines zygomatic-coronoid ankylosis, which can arise from trauma, infections, or systemic diseases, and aims to assess treatment options to improve outcomes post-injury.
- A systematic review was conducted using multiple databases to analyze 1993 articles, ultimately including 16 relevant studies that met the research objectives and treatment evaluations.
Prevalence of temporomandibular joint dysfunction in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and comparison of the findings with healthy controls.
Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992)

University of Health Sciences, Istanbul Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Hospital - İstanbul, Turkey.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of temporomandibular dysfunction in ankylosing spondylitis patients and healthy controls, examining the relationship between temporomandibular dysfunction and disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis patients, as well as associations with psychosocial factors.
Methods: The study included 113 ankylosing spondylitis patients and 110 healthy individuals aged 18-75. Temporomandibular dysfunction presence was evaluated using Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders Axis I.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the causal relationship between autoimmune arthritis (AA) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) using a method called bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis.
- - Researchers analyzed data from the FinnGen and IEU databases and found that certain types of AA, specifically rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS), may significantly increase the risk of developing TMD.
- - The results of the analysis were deemed stable and reliable, but the authors emphasized the need for further studies to understand the causal effects and underlying mechanisms between AA and TMD.
Causal effects of autoimmune diseases on temporomandibular disorders and the mediating pathways: a Mendelian randomization study.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Jiangyin People's Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University, Jiangyin, China.
Background: The role of autoimmune diseases (ADs) in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) has been emphasized in observational studies. However, whether the causation exists is unclear, and controversy remains about which specific disorder is destructive in TMDs. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study aims to estimate the causal effect of common ADs on TMDs.
