Given their favourable anatomy and potential advantages in previously treated or vessel-depleted necks, we synthesised available evidence on complication rates, flap viability, and recipient site morbidity.Material and methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was performed. Studies were included if they reported outcomes of free flap maxillofacial reconstructions using temporal vessels for microvascular anastomosis. Primary outcomes were arterial and venous thrombosis or compromise, and overall vascular complications. Secondary outcomes included return to theatre, flap necrosis, salvage rates, and recipient site complications. A random-effects model was used for data pooling, and heterogeneity was assessed via the I2 statistic.Results: Twenty-one studies reporting 773 reconstructions in 759 patients were included. Arterial thrombosis/compromise occurred in 1.44%, venous in 5.13%, with an overall vascular complication rate of 7.24%. Return to theatre occurred in 7.72% and flap salvage in 4.23%. Partial and total flap necrosis rates were 2.14% and 4.05% respectively. Recipient site complications were reported in 10.43% of cases.Conclusions: Superficial temporal vessels demonstrate reliable outcomes with complication rates comparable to cervical vessels. Their use may reduce surgical morbidity and should be considered a viable primary recipient option in complex head and neck reconstructions.","PeriodicalId":53254,"journal":{"name":"eJournal of Oral Maxillofacial Research","volume":"16 4","pages":"e3"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12933245/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147312327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Literature searches were conducted across PubMed, The Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Web of Science databases. The search included human studies, which measured canine distalization rate, published in English up to August 31, 2025, with no time restriction. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool (RoB 2.0) and the statistical examination was done using the Review Manager (RevMan).Results: Seven split-mouth randomized controlled trial studies with 103 patients were included, of which four studies with 55 patients were suitable for quantitative analysis. Flapless laser corticotomy significantly accelerated canine distalization in the first month (MD = 0.83; 95% CI = 0.3 to 1.35, where MD indicates mean difference and CI - 95% confidence interval, P = 0.002) and second month (MD = 0.44; 95% CI = 0.09 to 0.79; P = 0.01), despite high heterogeneity.

A comprehensive literature search was performed using the MEDLINE (PubMed) database. Studies published between October 2015 and October 2025 involving adults with dental implants were included. Random-effects models calculated mean differences (MD) for marginal bone loss and cytokines, and standardized mean differences (SMD) for plaque index and bleeding on probing (BOP).Results: All smoking modalities were associated with significantly worse peri-implant outcomes than non-smokers. Plaque index increased for cigarette (+5.22 units), waterpipe (+6.31), and e-cigarette users (+1.61). Marginal bone loss was greater in cigarette (+2.16 mm), waterpipe (+1.9 mm), and e-cigarette users (+0.83 mm). Cigarette smokers showed the highest IL-1β (MD = 239.63 pg/mL), while e-cigarette users exhibited elevated IL-1β (+170 pg/mL) and TNF-α (+17.6 pg/mL). A paradoxical reduction in BOP was observed. Subgroup analyses confirmed a risk gradient of cigarette > waterpipe > e-cigarette > non-smoker.Conclusions: Cigarette smoking exerts the greatest detrimental effect on peri-implant outcomes, followed by waterpipe and e-cigarette use. All modalities promote bone loss, plaque accumulation, and inflammation despite reduced bleeding, likely due to nicotine-induced vasoconstriction. Evidence on waterpipe and vaping remains limited, emphasizing the need for standardized long-term studies.","PeriodicalId":53254,"journal":{"name":"eJournal of Oral Maxillofacial Research","volume":"16 4","pages":"e1"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12933246/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147312330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate the latest data on maxillofacial odontogenic cellulitis in order to provide valuable information for optimizing the treatment of this pathology.Material and methods: The medical records of patients treated for maxillofacial odontogenic cellulitis at the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (Kauno klinikos), between 2018 and 2023 were analysed. Data on age, gender, general health status, duration of intensive care unit treatment, total duration of treatment, and complications were analysed. The results of the microbiological culture of the pus were used to analyse the primary pathogen, its resistance, and sensitivity to antibiotics and antibacterial treatment.Results: The streptococcus group (41.4%) was the most common pathogen. The duration of treatment did not differ significantly between the different localizations of cellulitis. The most commonly used antibiotics were a combination of penicillin and metronidazole. The highest success rate (76.9%) was observed with empirically administered combinations of cephalosporins and metronidazole. Antibiotic therapy was changed in 33.3% of cases.Conclusions: The most frequently detected pathogens - the streptococcus group - are characterized by a high sensitivity to penicillin and clindamycin as well as third-generation cephalosporins. The most effective empirical antibiotic therapy is a combination of cefazolin and metronidazole and cefuroxime and metronidazole. Diabetes mellitus, lung disease, alternating antibiotic therapy and complications prolong the duration of treatment.","PeriodicalId":53254,"journal":{"name":"eJournal of Oral Maxillofacial Research","volume":"16 3","pages":"e4"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12676949/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145702930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative data analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, linear regression, and independent t-tests were used to assess the outcomes. Qualitative data were thematically analysed using manual coding.Results: The study included a total of 119 participants, where having a CBCT resulted in a self-reported 31% reduction in anxiety about the upcoming wisdom tooth surgery. Interestingly, 45% of all patients reported a substantial reduction in anxiety levels, and only 5 participants (4%) suffered increased anxiety. A significant association was found between anxiety levels and treatment decisions (P < 0.001), with more anxious participants being more likely to alter their treatment choices. Additionally, 54 out of 57 (95%) participants considered the CBCT worthwhile and increasing age was weakly negatively associated with anxiety, with no significant gender effect.Conclusions: We show for the first time that cone-beam computed tomography can reduce presurgical anxiety as well as enhance patient understanding of risks associated with wisdom tooth surgery.

Furthermore, pain and swelling assessments revealed a decrease in the test groups compared to the control groups suggesting that local simvastatin may promote bone regeneration while reducing post-treatment discomfort. However, different tools were used to measure regenerated bone morphology pain and swelling, making it hard to draw consistent conclusions about patient comfort.Conclusions: Local simvastatin application promotes bone regeneration without increasing pain or swelling, supporting its use as a safe and effective supplement in regenerative bone treatment after tooth extraction.","PeriodicalId":53254,"journal":{"name":"eJournal of Oral Maxillofacial Research","volume":"16 2","pages":"e4"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12276082/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144683597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
