Introduction: Rehabilitation of patients with hemimaxillectomy presents a challenge. This case report describes the successful use of zygomatic Corticobasal® implant- supported reconstructed prosthesis.
Clinical Case Presentation: A 20-year-old female patient presented to the clinic following hemimaxillectomy with soft tissue approximation one year ago. The patient was very depressed and reported high aesthetic concern and masticatory inefficiency and required a fixed prosthesis. A multidisciplinary team was formed. A panorama and cone beam CT were acquired. The treatment plan included the construction of an immediately loaded, fixed implant-supported reconstructive prosthesis using 6 Corticobasal® implant (BCS® and ZDI® implant designs, Dr. Ihde Dental AG, Switzerland) and a follow up program. After 3 years in function, the patient presented with 100 % implant survival rate, no complaints, and reported great improvement in esthetics, speech, mastication, and quality of life.
Discussion: The use of zygomatic Corticobasal® implants in this case provides the significant advantages of improving the prosthesis support and the utilization of the strongest zygomatic bone for implant anchorage. Moreover, the use of a metal framework for implant splinting and the monoblock design of the implant reduce the risk of implant/prosthesis overloading, and eliminate the biomechanical complication. Furthermore, the provided fixed prosthesis matched the patient's desire and significantly optimized the patient satisfaction and quality of life.
Conclusion: Within the limitation of the study, Corticobasal® implants can be used for rehabilitating hemimaxillectomy patients with optimum peri-implant soft tissue results, reducing risk of infection, achieving high survival rate and significantly improving the patient's aesthetic, functional, and satisfaction.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between maxillary defects and facial asymmetry, and to establish categories for visual perception of facial asymmetry. The facial data of 47 patients who underwent maxillary resection due to tumors were captured using stereophotogrammetry. Facial asymmetry was measured using a landmark-independent method and assessed with a Likert scale.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that primarily originates from membranous bones. While most frequently documented in equines, OF has also been reported in other species, including dogs, though it remains uncommon. The condition poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its ambiguous presentation, often requiring differentiation from other benign and malignant intraosseous lesions.

Edentulous patients with history of cleft palate and severe maxillary atrophy are challenging patients to rehabilitate through an oral approach. The difficulty of rehabilitating these patients lies in the unusual anatomy they present and the alteration of the vascular supply of local tissues caused by the previous performed surgeries, along with other causes. This report describes the successful dental rehabilitation with zygomatic implants of a patient with complete bilateral cleft palate who was edentulous and had severe maxillary atrophy.

Objective: Primary aim was to analyse dentoalveolar and skeletal effects induced by an anterior open bite (AOB) treatment protocol for intrusion of maxillary buccal segment. Secondary aim was to investigate whether a subsequent change occurred in hyoid position.
Materials And Methods: Study group included 28 non-growing subjects treated in academic setting for correction of AOB.

Background: Botulinum toxin is an attenuated neurotoxin of Clostridium Botulinum gram positive bacterial, which is used in medication sialorrhea, cervical dystonia, hyperhidrosis and non-surgical cosmetic operation (aesthetic) such as facial wrinkles and reduced the bulky appearance hypertrophied of masseter muscle. This study was designed to revealed the effect of zygomiticus inoculation of botulinum toxin B in zygomatic muscle of rats on zygomatic bone.
Methods: A total of 25 male albino rats (200-260 gm) were injected facial intramuscular by a single dose of 2.
