Although some protocols consider grafting essential for osteogenesis, recent evidence suggests that modern implants, through a \"tent-pole\" effect, may eliminate this need, thereby avoiding its drawbacks (increased cost, surgical time, and risk of complications such as sinusitis). This retrospective study compares implant survival and complications between both techniques in patients with 4 to 6 mm of bone height undergoing immediate implant placement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials and methods: &lt;/strong&gt;In this comparative retrospective study, 170 patients with posterior maxillary atrophy (4-6 mm residual bone height) undergoing lateral approach sinus lift with immediate implant placement were analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 80 patients without bone graft (group A) and 90 patients with heterologous bone graft (porcine-derived bone with collagen) (group B). Both groups exhibited homogeneous characteristics regarding controlled comorbidities. Patients were evaluated over 3 years, with periodic follow-ups and prosthetic loading at 4 to 6 months, analyzing implant survival and complications such as infections, sinusitis, and wound dehiscence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;After a 36-month follow-up, both groups showed similar implant survival rates (91.25% without graft versus 91.11% with graft), with 7 and 8 failures, respectively, distributed similarly over time. However, a notably different complication profile was observed: the graft group exhibited a significantly higher incidence of chronic sinusitis (5.56% versus 0%), twice the rate of local infections (5.56% versus 2.5%), and 3 times the rate of wound dehiscence (4.44% versus 1.25%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion: &lt;/strong&gt;Our study demonstrates that the sinus lift technique without bone graft offers equivalent implant survival to the conventional graft technique at 3 years, but with a markedly superior safety profile by significantly reducing postoperative complications, particularly chronic sinusitis. This advantage may be attributed to the \"tent-pole\" effect, where the implant itself maintains sinus membrane elevation, eliminating risks associated with graft material such as ostium obstruction, inflammatory reactions, and increased susceptibility to infections and dehiscence. In addition, omitting the graft reduces costs, simplifies the procedure, and eliminates risks linked to animal-derived materials, positioning it as a viable and safe alternative for patients with minimal residual bone height.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The results indicate that sinus augmentation with immediate implant placement without bone graft is a viable and safe therapeutic alternative for patients with a minimum residual bone height of 4 mm","PeriodicalId":15462,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Craniofacial Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145212708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the prevalence, the optimal method for treating condylar fractures remains debated, though internal rigid fixation is commonly used for stability. Recent focus has shifted to evaluating specific fixation methods for condylar fractures, including single miniplates, double miniplates, lag screws, and 3D plates, aiming to determine if a single miniplate can be as effective as or better than more complex systems. This study employs finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate a novel fixation device for condylar fractures, which involves an intramedullary neck screw fixed with additional screws. Using 3D models of the mandible, miniplates, and screws, simulations were performed to assess stress distribution and displacement under varying loads. The analysis revealed that the fixation system provided stable results with minimal deformation and stress concentration in critical areas. The device demonstrated adequate stability, with no mechanical failures observed. The study concludes that the new fixation technique offers a viable alternative for treating mandibular condylar fractures, potentially simplifying the procedure and reducing costs compared with more complex fixation methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":15462,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Craniofacial Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145212779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While some studies point to the psychosocial benefits of surgery, others have described patient distress and disappointment. The aim of this study was to explore individuals' experiences of viewing their appearance for the first time following craniofacial surgery. An existing questionnaire was adapted for the craniofacial population and disseminated online. Retrospective, mixed methods data from 31 adults with a range of craniofacial conditions were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations and conventional content analysis. Seventy-one percent of participants were worried about looking in the mirror for the first time. Participants reported a moderate level of distress and satisfaction with the surgical results on average, yet ratings varied considerably between participants. Almost half felt more distressed than expected and perceived their immediate postsurgical appearance to be worse than they had imagined. A range of emotions were described in response to the \"first look,\" many of which were negatively valenced. Greater preparedness was significantly associated with feelings of relief and greater initial satisfaction with the surgical outcome, yet most participants felt that support at the time of the first look could have been improved. The findings represent a self-selected group of adults, some of whom underwent surgery several years ago. Nonetheless, patients' psychosocial experiences of the immediate postsurgical phase appear to be important.
