There is no gold standard for its management, but early intervention aims to minimise the risk of malignant transformation. Here we report our experience of utilising nanofat grafting in the management of AC. Retrospective data analysis was carried out between 2020 and 2024. Patients diagnosed with AC were treated with nanofat grafting. The nanofat preparation was harvested from the abdomen and prepared using the PureGraft® filtration system (Bimini Health Tech), and was infiltrated into the lips in two layers. Outcomes were assessed clinically. Seven patients were included in our analysis with a mean follow up of 23 months. All patients had had previous treatment for AC such as topical 5-fluororacil, steroids, laser ablation, and cryotherapy. Five of the seven received simultaneous nanofat grafting followed by erbium laser resurfacing at the same appointment. The others had nanofat grafting after laser resurfacing. Following the procedure all the patients had no further cracks, ulcerations, or erosions of the lips, with a good definition of the vermilion border, and all patients remained symptom free. The combination of nanofat grafting and laser resurfacing provides an alternative minimally invasive solution for patients with persistent AC. We have formulated an algorithm for management based on our experience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55318,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"63 4","pages":"Pages 291-297"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143675077","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}

The transition from bone transfer techniques to bone regeneration methods aimed to reduce morbidity, increase the available reservoir of bone, and enhance volumetric outcomes. However, current bone regeneration techniques are prolonged and yield suboptimal biological results. This is primarily because the process relies heavily on bone substitutes that lack osteoinductive or osteogenic properties, with the supply of cells and growth factors entirely dependent on endogenous sources. This article calls for a new paradigm shift, proposing a biological approach for more controlled bone growth by the incorporation of exogenous cells and growth factors into a bone-growing process, thereby enhancing biological outcomes over time. Additionally, it presents a biomorphometric clinical algorithm to tailor treatment protocols for various types of bone loss.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55318,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"63 4","pages":"Pages 276-290"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143813057","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}

Cone beam computed tomography may be a good choice for detecting sialoliths because it is more sensitive than sonography. A practitioner should collect precise information about the stone in question, which includes the exact location of the calculus, its size and volume, and the number of calculi in a given case. For submandibular calculi, the orientation of the stone’s location against the gonion and the inferior edge of the mandible creates the system of coordinates almost in a geographical fashion. The next step is management planning, and a proper surgical approach may be selected from a comprehensive list of available techniques. If the sialoendoscopic removal of calculi via ducts is impossible, endoscopy-assisted, ultrasound (US)-guided, or unassisted intraoral surgery, extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL), a combination of the ESWL with the sialoendoscopy, and endoscopy-assisted ductal stretching procedure are our options. Measures must be taken to avoid or minimise postsurgical complications. The development of our knowledge, skills, diagnostic arsenal, and surgical approaches to sialolithiasis cases over the last hundred years is impressive. However, there is still room for further improvement. Some problems in diagnostics, calculus assessment, and surgical approaches require additional research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55318,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"63 4","pages":"Pages 270-275"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143744439","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}
