Cherubism is a rare fibro-osseous disease characterized by the progressive expansion of the mandible and maxilla during childhood. Orbital involvement occurs in a subset of patients and is clinically manifested as upward displacement of the affected eye. The bony changes tend to spontaneously […]

External root resorption is a pathologic process starting from the root surface of the tooth. At present, there are few reports about the treatment of vital pulp preservation in the tooth with external root resorption./r/nA 14-year-old Asian female visited the hospital of the present authors, […]

A male in his early 40s presented with a penetrating orbital injury after a nine-centimetre lead sinker was propelled into his right orbit while fishing. He reported pain, ptosis and visual acuity reduced to light perception. X-rays, preferred over CT due to metallic artefacts, revealed the sinker […]

The aging process changes the youthful facial contour from heart-shaped to triangular. Lower face rejuvenation and jawline contouring procedures can help prevent or reduce these changes. Traditional approaches for lower face rejuvenation and jawline contouring include surgical facelifts; however, […]

Loss of periocular skin due to cancer, trauma, or surgery is a major reconstructive challenge; resultant tissue contracture can cause eyelid malposition with poor functional and aesthetic outcomes. The authors describe the successful use of cryopreserved umbilical cord amniotic membrane as a wound […]

ObjectiveRecalcitrant palatal fistulas in patients with cleft palate history sometimes require free flap reconstruction. This study reviews the literature on described flaps and outcomes.DesignA systematic review was conducted per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and […]

Immediate implant-retained surgery on the fibula using the traditional method is a technical challenge in mandibular reconstruction and can worsen the following prosthetic process. A digital workflow with multiple surgical guidance tools can help ensure accuracy and even immediate temporary […]

Facial aberrant reinnervation syndrome is characterized by aberrant facial muscle reinnervation after facial nerve injury producing facial synkinesis, hypertonicity, and muscle spasm. To systematically review the surgical treatments for facial aberrant reinnervation syndrome and assess their […]
