Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the outcome and complications in this highly vulnerable patient cohort. Seventeen patients who received both antiresorptive treatment and radiotherapy (medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw/osteoradionecrosis = the [MRONJ/ORN] group) in the head and neck area were enrolled in this study. Included patients were treated in our department between 2005 and 2022. Four hundred twenty-four patients with MRONJ (the MRONJ group) and 138 patients with ORN of the jaw were enrolled as two control groups (the ORN group). Demographic data, lesion localization, date of primary diagnosis, clinical symptoms, type of therapy (surgical or non-surgical), details on antiresorptive treatment, outcome, and complications were recorded. Pathological fractures, continuity resection, and recurrence appear more often in patients who receive a combination of antiresorptive treatment and radiotherapy in the head and neck area compared with patients undergoing only one of these treatments. There was a statistically significant difference ( < .001) between the MRONJ/ORN group and the MRONJ group and the MRONJ/ORN group and the ORN group considering recurrence, fracture, and continuity resection. Patients with ORN combined with MRONJ have a 4-times higher risk for developing recurrence compared with patients with MRONJ and a 1.5-times higher risk for recurrence compared with patients with ORN. Jaw fracture and continuity resection appear more often in patients with MRONJ/ORN. Patients under antiresorptive therapy in combination with radiation therapy in the head and neck area have a higher risk for developing complications in case of osteonecrosis of the jaw. Therefore, a strict follow-up care schedule is highly recommended.","PeriodicalId":501075,"journal":{"name":"Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six types of implants ( = 5 for each type) composed of titanium (3 types), titanium-zirconia alloy, zirconium oxide, and titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy, and made with 2 manufacturing processes (milled and printed) were individually installed in a bovine rib block according to the manufacturer's protocol. CBCT images were acquired with i-CAT and Carestream 9600 scanners, randomized, and analyzed without and with the e-Vol DX BAR filter (60 images for each scanner). Implant length, diameter, and thread-to-thread distance were measured by two radiologists, with a stereomicroscopic image of each implant as the reference standard for calculation of distortion in measurements. Repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni corrections and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were applied (α = 0.05). The BAR filter significantly reduced distortion in various parameters for specific implants, aligning closely with stereomicroscopic measurements. Titanium and printed implants showed reduced dimensional distortion regardless of BAR filter use. Carestream measurements presented smaller dimensional differences than i-CAT for most implants and parameters, especially without BAR ( < .05). Interexaminer reliability was good to excellent, with ICC ranging from 0.80 to 0.95. The BAR filter can enhance implant dimensional analysis, although variations based on implant material and manufacturing process were observed.","PeriodicalId":501075,"journal":{"name":"Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MSCT data from 361 patients with mandibular fractures were retrospectively collected. Two experienced maxillofacial surgeons annotated the images as ground truth. Fractures were detected utilizing the following models: YOLOv3, YOLOv4, Faster R-CNN, CenterNet, and YOLOv5-TRS. Fracture sites were classified by the following models: AlexNet, GoogLeNet, ResNet50, original DenseNet-121, and modified DenseNet-121. The performance was evaluated for accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC). AUC values were compared using the -test and values <.05 were considered to be statistically significant. Of all of the detection models, YOLOv5-TRS obtained the greatest mean accuracy (96.68%). Among all of the fracture subregions, body fractures were the most reliably detected (with accuracies of 88.59%-99.01%). For classification models, the AUCs for body fractures were higher than those of condyle and angle fractures, and they were all above 0.75, with the highest AUC at 0.903. Modified DenseNet-121 had the best overall classification performance with a mean AUC of 0.814.

A retrospective observational cohort study was performed using records from a state-wide database of all patients who presented to a Victorian hospital with a facial fracture between 2004 and 2014. Data collected included demographics, concomitant opioid and cocaine use, mechanism of injury, facial injuries, and management. Statistical analysis was done using chi-square test, Student's tests, binary logistic regression analysis, and multivariable linear regression analysis. Results were considered statistically significant if < .05. A total of 54,613 patient presentations for facial trauma were analyzed with 363 patients in the cocaine and opioid-related group, and 54,250 patients in the nondrug-related group. Patients with illicit drug use were more likely to have facial fractures caused by interpersonal violence when compared with nondrug users (47.9% vs 23.5%, OR = 2.23, < .001). Opioid and cocaine users had 0.3 more total fractures per presentation, which included more midface and skull fractures, and more facial lacerations ( < .001). There was no statistically significant difference in the need for surgical management between the two groups. Opioid and cocaine affected patients also on average had a longer hospital stay of 3.4 days and required 0.9 more allied health inputs during their admission when compared with nondrug users ( < .05).

Six meta-analyses were conducted, addressing treatments with all blood-derived growth factor preparations as well as L-platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) separately, and recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2). An unpaired t-test on L-PRF and rhBMP-2 determined the clinically best preservation treatment. Cochrane risk of bias in all studies was analyzed. Twenty-nine articles (1068 participants) were included. Meta-analyses on blood-derived preparations demonstrated nonsignificant alveolar width, but significant ( = .001) height preservation. L-PRF vs. natural healing demonstrated nonsignificant changes in both dimensions. RhBMP-2 caused highly significant reduced horizontal ( = .01) and vertical ( < .0008) bone resorptions. When comparing mean resorption rates, significant benefits of rhBMP-2 over L-PRF were observed for width but not height preservation ( < .0001 and = .057, respectively). Six studies recorded low, 8 moderate, and 15 high net risks. Regenerative materials appear beneficial for radiographic bone width and height preservation after tooth extraction.
