INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this European multicenter study was to describe the general characteristics and risk factors of MRONJ lesions as well as their clinical diagnosis and management at different European Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery centers, in order to minimize selections biases and provide information about the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, and the current trends in the treatment of MRONJ across Europe. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The following data were registered for each patient: gender; age at MRONJ diagnosis; past medical history; indication for antiresorptive or antiangiogenic therapy; type of antiresorptive medication; local risk factor for MRONJ; MRONJ Stage; anatomic location and symptoms; treatment; surgical complications; recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 537 patients (375 females, 162 males) with MRONJ were included. Statistically significant associations were found between patients with metastatic bone disease and recurrences (P < 0.0005) and between advanced MRONJ stages (stages 2 and 3) and recurrences (P < 0.005). Statistically significant associations were also found between male gender and recurrences (P < 0.05), and between MRONJ maxillary sites and recurrences (P < 0.0000005). CONCLUSIONS: A longer mean duration of antiresorptive medications before MRONJ onset was observed in patients affected by osteoporosis, whereas a shorter mean duration was observed in all metastatic bone cancer patients, and in particular in those affected by prostate cancer with bone metastases or multiple myeloma. Surgery plays an important role for the management of MRONJ lesions.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) and camel-hump condylo-mandibular dysplasia (CMD) are developmental disorders affecting the mandible that share common clinical features. This study aimed to investigate and compare the dental anomalies (DA) between the two entities for differential diagnosis and to propose appropriate treatment. METHODS: This retrospective cross-sectional study was based on panoramic radiographs of patients diagnosed with CFM or CMD. DA were evaluated using the classification reported by Bilge. Delayed tooth eruption on the affected side was noted based on a comparison with the contralateral side. Nolla's stages of tooth calcification were used to assess dental development. RESULTS: A total of 103 patients were included, 80 subjects (77.7 %) in CFM group and 23 patients (22.3 %) in CMD group. The prevalence of DA among CFM and CMD-affected patients were 80.0 % and 95.7 %, respectively. Tooth ectopia, tooth impaction, dental development delay, and delayed tooth eruption on the affected side exhibited a significant association with the two craniofacial malformations. The overall affected teeth (molars, premolars, canines) differed between the two craniofacial malformations. Dental abnormalities such as oligodontia, hyperdontia, dentin dysplasia, and anomalies of shape were seen only in subjects affected by CFM. CONCLUSION: DA were widely observed in patients with CFM and CMD. The global distribution of affected teeth differed between the two conditions and some DA were detected only in CFM patients. When clinical diagnosis remains uncertain, some specific radiological characteristics of DA can be used to differentiate CFM from CMD.

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare benign bone tumor adopting an aggressive behavior, representing a challenge for clinical and radiographic diagnosis. This case report focused on a 31-year-old man with a large mandibular lesion with severe displacements of the mandibular teeth. Only a combination of paraclinical findings allows a definitive diagnosis to be made. Cervicofacial MRI revealed a low T1 signal intensity with peripheral enhancement after Gadolinium, and T2 hyperintense signal, while PET scan showed a moderate metabolism. Bone biopsy with immunohistochemical analysis allowed for definitive diagnosis of DF after eliminating the main differential diagnosis (fibrous dysplasia, fibrosarcoma, desmoid tumor, and osteosarcoma). The patient was successfully treated by large mandibular resection and reconstruction with a free-fibular bone flap".

OBJECTIVES: Investigation of the therapeutic effect of zoledronic acid (ZA) in a preclinical model of jaw osteosarcoma (JO). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The effect of 100 µg/kg ZA administered twice a week was assessed in a xenogenic mouse model of JO. The clinical (tumor growth, development of lung metastasis), radiological (bone microarchitecture by micro-CT analysis), and molecular and immunohistochemical (TRAP, RANK/RANKL, VEGF, and CD146) parameters were investigated. RESULTS: Animals receiving ZA exhibited an increased tumor volume compared with nontreated animals (71.3 ± 14.3 mm3 vs. 51.9 ± 19.9 mm3 at D14, respectively; p = 0.06) as well as increased numbers of lung metastases (mean 4.88 ± 4.45 vs. 0.50 ± 1.07 metastases, respectively; p = 0.02). ZA protected mandibular bone against tumor osteolysis (mean bone volume of 12.81 ± 0.53 mm3 in the ZA group vs. 11.55 ± 1.18 mm3 in the control group; p = 0.01). ZA induced a nonsignificant decrease in mRNA expression of the osteoclastic marker TRAP and an increase in RANK/RANKL bone remodeling markers. CONCLUSION: The use of bisphosphonates in the therapeutic strategy for JO should be further explored, as should the role of bone resorption in the pathophysiology of the disease.
RESUMO
The Posterior vertical excess (PVE) associates a symmetric ramus and condyle elongation to an Angle Class III malocclusion. This dento-skeletal discrepancy can be isolated or associated to a condyle hyperplasia or a transverse overgrowth of the mandible due to macroglossia. We present the technique and the postoperative results of bilateral condylectomy applied for the surgical correction of PVE. Bilateral condylectomy represents an alternative to the bimaxillary surgery and adds to the therapeutic arsenal for the correction of Angle Class III malocclusion.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Among the existing techniques for the correction of mandibular posterior vertical insufficiency (PVI), the intra-oral ramus vertical lengthening osteotomy (IORVLO) can be proposed as it allows simultaneous correction of mandibular height and retrusion. This study assessed the 3D morpho-anatomical changes of the ramus-condyle unit and occlusal stability after IORVLO. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective analysis compared immediate and 1-year post-operative 3D CBCT reconstructions. The analysis focused on the condylar height (primary endpoint) and on the changes in condylar (condylar diameter, condylar axis angle) and mandibular (ramus height, Frankfort-mandibular plane angle, gonion position, intergonial distance, angular remodeling) parameters. Additionally, this analysis investigated the maxillary markers and occlusal stability. RESULTS: On the 38 condyles studied in 21 included patients (mean age 23.7 ± 3.9 years), a condylar height (CH) loss of 0.66 mm (p < 0,03) was observed, with no correlation with the degree of ramus lengthening (mean 13.3 ± 0.76 mm). Only one patient presented an occlusal relapse of Class II, but a 3.4 mm (28%) condylar diameter loss and a 33% condylar volume reduction with loss of 1 mm and 3.4 mm in CH and condyle diameter, respectively. A mean 3.56 mm (p < 0.001) decrease in ramus height was noted, mainly due to bone resorption in the mandibular angles. CONCLUSION: This study confirms the overall stability obtained with IORVLO for the correction of PVI. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study aims to precise indication of IORVLO, and to validate the clinical and anatomical stability of results.

INTRODUCTION: Mandibular advancement devices (MAD) are an alternative to continuous positive airway pressure for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a custom-made monoblock MAD for the treatment of OSAHS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We carried out a monocentric retrospective observational study including patients with OSAHS (mild, moderate or severe) or isolated ronchopathy from January 2005 to March 2023. The primary objective was to evaluate the overall efficiency of the MAD assessed by the percentage of patients successfully treated. The secondary objectives included the global efficiency of the device in the treatment of snoring, the report of side effects, and the identification of predictive factors for efficacy or failure. RESULTS: The medical records of 586 patients were collected, and 293 patients (229 OSAHS and 64 isolated ronchopathy) were included in the analysis. After a mean 2.9 years follow-up, 72.5 % of patients were successfully treated by MAD. We observed a significant improvement in ronchopathy, both in terms of intensity and percentage of time per night. Regarding patients with isolated ronchopathy, 87.5 % reported an improvement in their symptoms and satisfaction with their treatment. Finally, 14.0 % of the patients declared side-effects, the dentoskeletal modifications being the most frequent (6.1 % of the patients). CONCLUSION: This study confirmed the long-term efficacy and good tolerance of a custom-made monoblock orthosis in OSAHS.

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the dental prosthetic rehabilitation (DPR) in patients after jaw reconstruction with fibula free flap. Four databases were searched from January 2000 to January 2023. Of the 2507 studies identified, 36 observational studies were included. Cancer was the most common surgical indications for jawbone resection with 58.3 % of cases followed by benign tumours which representing 24 %. The DPR rate was estimated at 51.6 % across the studies (ranging from 38 % to 55 % depending on the benign or malignant nature of the tumors). Implant-supported prostheses represented 58.9 % of cases of which 66.9 % were fixed and 33.1 % were implant-stabilized overdentures. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) was used in 20 % of studies and aimed to improve the position of the grafted fibula, quality, and aesthetics of DPR and to decrease ischemia and the operating time. One in two authors performed DPR 12 months after jaw reconstruction. If implant survival rate reached 93 % in non-irradiated fibula, it fell to 38 %, 55 %, and 77 % if implantation occurred in the 12, 17, and 24 months after radiotherapy, respectively. Various parameters should be better investigated in further studies including the typology of the prostheses (implant-supported vs removable), the use of VSP, and the optimal time for DPR taking into account the characteristics of the tumor, the size of bone defect, and the need for external irradiation therapy.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: We hypothesize that the removal of mandibular third molars (M3) 6 months prior to a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) could allow the displacement of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) in a favorable lingual position. This study aimed to radiographically compare the position of IAN before and after M3 removal in patients with Class II malocclusion. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The CBCT images of 30 randomly selected patients (mean age 15.5 years, 19 females and 11 males) were segmented regarding the mandibular bone and the IAN canal. Mandibles were then superimposed and compared using 3D slicer (www.slicer.org). An orthonormal system was constructed, and the coordinates of IAN were assessed in the x- (horizontal axis), y- (depth axis), and z- (vertical axis) directions. RESULTS: The mean changes in x- and z-values were 0.37 %, -0.09 % for the right IAN, 0.07 %, and -0.10 % for the left IAN, respectively. Y-axis was the dimension the most impacted by the M3 removal with a mean variation of -11.96 % for the right IAN, and 0.45 % for the left nerve (p1=0.74 and p2=0.04, respectively). Three patients presented a change in the IAN position superior to 1 mm on at least one coordinate axis. We observed a more important change in x-values of the right IAN in male than in female (p = 0.04), and no significant modifications regarding the other dimensions. Finally, there was no correlation between the age of the patients and the changes in IAN position. CONCLUSION: This study confirms the absence of influence of mandibular third molar removal on the inferior alveolar nerve route prior to BSSO.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the sagittal and vertical relapses after Le Fort 1 osteotomy in bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) patients. Lateral cephalograms before surgery, immediately after the procedure, at one year, and at least two years (when available) after surgery were superimposed. The positions of five landmarks were studied in a coordinate system. Uni- and multivariate analyses investigated the effect of various factors on the relapse. Of the 71 patients included for a BCLP, 54 presented complete data at one year, and 30 patients were included for the long follow-up study (mean of 55 months). The mean maxillary advancement was 6.2 mm on the sub-spinal point (A). Sagittal relapse occurred at one year (mean of 1.1 mm on point A, 0.7 mm on point prosthion (P); p < 0.0001) and progressed by 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm, respectively, on the same points at the last follow-up. The mean vertical relapse was 0.5 mm on point A (p = 0.044), 0.6 mm on point P (p = 0.16) and 0.5 mm on incisor (I) (p = 0.056). The vertical relapse was correlated to the degree of vertical movement. Three factors were associated to the recurrence including a prior pharyngeal flap, an associated mandibular osteotomy and smoking habits.

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare skeletal disorder in which normal bone is replaced by a fibro-osseous tissue, resulting in possible deformities and fractures. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to synthesize the available evidence on the use of antiresorptive drugs in FD in terms of changes in bone turnover markers (BTMs), bone mineral density (BMD), and reducing pain. Three databases were searched in October 2022, with an update in July 2023. Of the 1037 studies identified, 21 were retained after eligibility assessment. A random-effects model was used to calculate global effect size and the corresponding standard error. Pamidronate and Denosumab were the most reported drugs in a total of 374 patients assessed. The initiation of treatments was accompanied by an average reduction of 40.5% [CI95% -51.6, -29.3] in the bone resorption parameters, and 22.0% [CI95% -31.9, -12.1] in the parameters of bone formation after 6-12 months. BMD was increased in both FD lesions and in the unaffected skeleton. Pain was reduced by 32.7% [CI95% -52.7, -12.6] after 6-12 months of treatment, and by 44.5% [CI95% -65.3, -23.6] after a mean 41.2 months of follow-up. The variation in pain was highly correlated to variation in bone resorption (R2 = 0.08, p < 0.0001) and formation parameters (R2 = 0.17, p < 0.0001). This study supports the overall efficacy of antiresorptive therapies in terms of reducing bone remodeling, improving bone density, and pain in FD.

INTRODUCTION: Functional genioplasty aims to achieve lip competence at rest and reduces lip pressure against the mandibular incisors. The purpose of this study was to describe the radiographic changes in alveolar bone of the mandibular incisors after functional genioplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cone beam CT images from 36 patients were compared between immediate (T0) and delayed postoperative period (T1). The mean time to complete the second imaging was 10.9 ± 4.7 months. Dental and bone parameters were assessed: the vestibular bone height (BH), the bone thickness (BT) with regard to the apex of the central incisor (BT2) and at equidistance between the cementoenamel junction and the dental apex (BT1). The existence of fenestrations, the apical-root resorption and the incisor-mandibular plane angle (IMPA) were also collected. RESULTS: No significant change occurred in the BH. BT was improved of a mean 47.9% and 53.6% at the BT1 level on #31 and #41, respectively (p1=0.01 and p2=0.02, respectively); and of 53.0% at the level of the apex of both mandibular central incisors (p1=0.003 on #31 and p2=0.009 on #41). No difference in the number of fenestrations was observed between T0 and T1. A significant decrease in the root length on both mandibular incisors was observed on the delayed CBCT (from 21.96 ± 1.35 to 21.68 ± 1.32 mm for #31, p=0.0007; from 22.26 ± 1.66 to 21.96 ± 1.48 mm for #41, p=0.002). Finally, the IMPA remained stable between the two examinations with a mean 106.1 ± 7.38° vs 105.8 ± 6.51° (p=0.38). CONCLUSION: Functional genioplasty favours the alveolar bone formation of the mandibular central incisors, probably by direct bone grafting, but also by the relaxation of the perioral and chin musculature.

BACKGROUND: Imaging of the salivary ductal system is relevant prior to an endoscopic or a surgical procedure. Various imaging modalities can be used for this purpose. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic capability of three-dimensional (3D)-cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) sialography versus magnetic resonance (MR) sialography in non-tumorous salivary pathologies. METHODS: This prospective, monocenter, pilot study compared both imaging modalities in 46 patients (mean age 50.1 ± 14.9 years) referred for salivary symptoms. The analyses were performed by two independent radiologists and referred to identification of a salivary disease including sialolithiasis, stenosis, or dilatation (primary endpoint). The location and size of an abnormality, the last branch of division of the salivary duct that can be visualized, potential complications, and exposure parameters were also collected (secondary endpoints). RESULTS: Salivary symptoms involved both the submandibular (60.9%) and parotid (39.1%) glands. Sialolithiasis, dilatations, and stenosis were observed in 24, 25, and 9 patients, respectively, with no statistical differences observed between the two imaging modalities in terms of lesion identification (p1 = 0.66, p2 = 0.63, and p3 = 0.24, respectively). The inter-observer agreement was perfect (> 0.90) for lesion identification. MR sialography outperformed 3D-CBCT sialography for visualization of salivary stones and dilatations, as evidenced by higher positive percent agreement (sensitivity) of 0.90 [95% CI 0.70-0.98] vs. 0.82 [95% CI 0.61-0.93], and 0.84 [95% CI 0.62-0.94] vs. 0.70 [95% CI 0.49-0.84], respectively. For the identification of stenosis, the same low positive percent agreement was obtained with both procedures (0.20 [95% CI 0.01-0.62]). There was a good concordance for the location of a stone (Kappa coefficient of 0.62). Catheterization failure was observed in two patients by 3D-CBCT sialography. CONCLUSIONS: Both imaging procedures warrant being part of the diagnostic arsenal of non-tumorous salivary pathologies. However, MR sialography may be more effective than 3D-CBCT sialography for the identification of sialolithiasis and ductal dilatations. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT02883140.

INTRODUCTION: Vertical stability after a Le Fort I (LF1) osteotomy with substantial upward movement can be compromised by the position and the volume of the inferior turbinate. A horseshoe (HS) osteotomy represents then an alternative as it preserves the hard palate and the intranasal volume. The aim of this study was to assess the vertical stability of the maxilla after HS osteotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent a HS osteotomy for the correction of long-face syndrome were retrospectively analyzed. The vertical stability was assessed on lateral cephalograms performed preoperatively (T0), immediately postoperatively (T1), and at the last follow-up (T2) by studying points C (the distal cusp of the first maxillary molar), point P (the prosthion, the lowest edge of the maxillary alveolus of the central incisor), and point I (the upper central incisor edge) in a coordinate system. Postoperative complications and aesthetics of the smile were also investigated. RESULTS: Fifteen patients were included (7 females, 8 males, mean age 25.5 ± 9.8 yeras). The mean impaction ranged from 5 mm on point P to 6.1 mm on point C, with a maximal movement of 9.5 mm. A non-significant relapse of 0.8 ± 1.7, 0.6 ± 0.8, and 0.5 ± 1.8 mm was observed after a mean 20.7 months on point C, P, and I respectively. Smile parameters were significantly improved by the procedure, mainly regarding the correction of the gum smile. CONCLUSION: HS osteotomy represents a good alternative to total LF1 osteotomy for substantial maxillary upward movement in long face syndrome deformities.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the overall diagnostic outcomes of 3D-CBCT sialography and ultrasonography (US) in the detection of sialolithiasis, ductal dilatation, and ductal stenosis. METHODS: This retrospective monocentric study compared the two imaging modalities carried out in the same patients referred for salivary symptoms of the parotid and submandibular glands. The primary endpoint was the capacity of the imaging procedure to diagnose a lesion. The secondary objectives were the detection rates according to the type of lesion, analysis of the causes of failure, and the parameters of radiation exposure and safety (for 3D-CBCT sialography). RESULTS: Of the 236 patients who received a 3D-CBCT sialography in our institution, 157 were ultimately included in the per-protocol analysis. 3D-CBCT sialography allowed detection of ductal lesions in 113 patients versus 86 with US. The two imaging modalities yielded congruent interpretations in 104 out of 157 subjects (66.2%). Higher sensitivity and negative predictive value were observed with 3D-CBCT sialography compared with US, irrespective of the lesions studied: 0.85 vs 0.65 and 0.70 vs 0.44, respectively. Regarding the sialolithiasis, both 3D-CBCT sialography and US allowed identification of lesions with high sensitivity and negative predictive value (0.80 vs 0.75 and 0.88 vs 0.78, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: US remains the first-line examination for exploration of the salivary lesions. 3D-CBCT sialography is an alternative in case of inconclusive US, and prior to any endoscopic procedure.

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the surgical techniques used for orbital floor reconstruction after Brown class III maxillectomy for cancer. Three databases were searched from January 1990 to January 2022. Of the 614 studies identified, 20 were retained after eligibility assessment. The surgical techniques were classified into four groups: free bone flaps (A), alloplastic implants (B), bone grafts (C), and soft-tissue reconstructions (D). Ectropion and diplopia concerned 42.6% and 6.6% of the patients, respectively. Soft tissue reconstruction was more likely to cause ectropion (17/27), followed by the reconstruction techniques of group B (34/79), group C (26/70), and group A (1/7). Postoperative enophthalmos was identified in 18 patients (9.6%), mostly in group D (5/35), followed by groups B (8/68), A (3/33), and C (2/52). Free bone flaps and alloplastic implants represent good reconstructive options in terms of postoperative ocular parameters.

Background-The purpose of this study was to investigate the bone resorption, as well as the vascular and immune microenvironment, of jaw osteosarcomas (JO) and to correlate these features with patient clinical outcomes. Methods-We studied 50 JO biopsy samples by immunohistochemical analysis of tissue microarrays (TMAs). We investigated the bone remodeling markers RANK/RANKL/OPG, the endothelial glycoprotein CD146, and biomarkers of the immune environment (CD163 and CD68 of macrophages, CD4+ and CD8+ of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and an immune checkpoint PD-1/PD-L1). The biomarkers were analyzed for their influence on progression (recurrence and metastasis), overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS). Results-A strong and significant correlation has been found between CD163 staining and lower OS and DFS. The level of CD4+ and CD8+ staining was low and non-significantly associated with survival outcomes. High levels of RANK and RANKL were found in the tumor samples and correlated with lower DFS. Conclusion-Our findings suggest that CD163+ TAMs represent markers of poor prognosis in JO. Targeting TAMs could represent a valuable therapeutic strategy in JO.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Orbital floor fractures (OFF) are common facial trauma injuries, and there are no official guidelines for their medical and surgical management. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of the management of OFF in France. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An online questionnaire was sent to 144 surgeons at the 88 French centers involved in the management of OFF (2019 data from the National Health Insurance Body). The questions related to the preoperative clinical and radiographic examinations, the criteria for surgical indication, the materials used, and the elements of the postoperative period. RESULTS: Ultimately, 42 questionnaires were analyzed (32 from oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS), 8 from ophthalmologists, and 2 from ENT or plastic surgeons). For 69% of the surgeons, a systematic ophthalmological examination was carried out, 3-7 days after the trauma, and based on a Lancaster test or visual acuity (97.6% and 83.3% of the responders, respectively). The most important criteria for the therapeutic decision were diplopia or oculomotor disorder that persisted for more than 7 days (76.2%), clinical enophthalmos (54.8%), a large fracture (52.4%), and ptosis of the orbital content on CT scan (38.1%). The mean surgical delay was 7-15 days for 54.8% of the responders. Resorbing sheets were the preferred materials to repair small fractures, while larger fractures required alloplastic implants (titanium mesh). CONCLUSION: This survey confirms the diversity of practices in France regarding the management of OFF. Further studies are needed before guidelines can be developed.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the rate of patient requiring Surgical Repositioning of the Premaxilla in a population carrying BCL ± P, retrieve age and operative indication. Our secondary objective was to present further facial growth characteristics. SETTINGS: This was a retrospective, single-center cohort study conducted in Nantes University Hospital, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department, tertiary cleft center. PATIENTS: Patients with BCL ± P born between 1980 and 2019 treated at Nantes University Hospital were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Our primary outcome measure was the rate of patient requiring SRP. RESULTS: Over the whole period, 189 patients with BCL ± P were identified. Three patients (1,58%) underwent SRP. Patients who underwent SRP all had BCLP. SRP was performed during their primary dentition period. The indication for surgical repositioning was always premaxilla vertical overgrowth with an overbite over 10â mm. Facial growth features in the three patients were mostly comparable with a population carrying BCLP who had no premaxillary surgery. CONCLUSION: Our results showed a low incidence of SRP. No SRP was necessary during early infancy (ie, before lip repair) or during adulthood. Surgical repositioning of the premaxilla is beneficial for patient with orthodontically uncorrectable vertical premaxillary excess, even more since facial development compared with other patients with BCLP appears comparable.
