Purpose: Firm, immobile mucosa around endosteal implants is one prerequisite for a reliable long-term result. In the atrophic mandible, this may be achieved by a vestibuloplasty on the facial side. However, on the lingual side, the floor of the mouth is often high and the mucosa mobile, especially after unintentional detachment of the lingual flap during implant surgery. To overcome this problem, a surgical technique applying a transalveolar suture circumscribing the inserted implants was developed.
Patients And Methods: The operation was performed in six patients, and they were evaluated over a period of more than 18 months.
Results: There was a clinically significant increase in fixed mucosa behind the implants compared with a control group of six patients with a similar preoperative and intraoperative status.
Conclusion: A localized lowering of the floor of the mouth limited to the peri-implant region using this technique can successfully improve the lingual mucosa around implants.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Tishreen University, Lattakia, Syria.
Introduction And Importance: Oral Lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor that arises from the lymphatic vessels in oral cavity. It is a development defect in the lymphatic system, which is less common than other types of vascular anomalies, and the incidence in the general population is very low, especially in the oral cavity. It typically presents as soft, painless swelling, often found on the tongue, lips or floor or the mouth.

State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases & National Center for Stomatology & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Sichuan University.
Objective: To describe the cases of oral and maxillofacial tumors (OMFT) resection and defects reconstruction under submandibular intubation (SMI) performed in our institution; secondly, to systematically review and analyze the characteristics of studies about SMI in oral and maxillofacial surgery to estimate the incidence rate of complication.
Method: Data related to all 6 patients included in this study were prospectively collected from November 2016 to November 2023. The tract for endotracheal tube was created by bluntly dissection from the submandibular area to the floor of mouth.
Clinical characteristics and removal of broken burs retained in the lower jaw.

State Key Laboratory of Oral & Maxillofacial Reconstruction and Regeneration, Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedicine Ministry of Education, Hubei Key Laboratory of Stomatology, School & Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
Background: A broken bur retained in the lower jaw is an uncommon complication that occurs during the extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of the broken burs and review our experience with the removal of the broken burs in these cases.
Methods: All patients, who suffered the broken bur remained in the lower jaw due to the extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar and presented to our hospital from July 2019 to July 2024, were included in this retrospective study.
Large recurrent sialoliths in a residual Wharton duct after sialoadenectomy: Two case reports and literature review.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Rationale: When gland-preserving treatments are unsuccessful, sialoadenectomy is typically conducted for patients afflicted with submandibular gland diseases. The definitive treatment modality for these individuals is the removal of both the gland and the associated ducts. During surgery, the gland and the majority of the ducts can be excised utilizing the lateral transcervical approach, with residual ducts unlikely to develop pathology.

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital East, Kashiwa.
Objective: The impact of suture materials on surgical site infections (SSIs) has been well documented in various surgical fields; however, it has not been thoroughly examined in oral oncological surgery with free-flap reconstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of oral SSIs associated with the use of monofilament and braided sutures for flap fixation.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent oral oncological resection with free-flap reconstruction was conducted between May 2020 and April 2024.
