RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Dental autotransplantation is a surgical procedure that involves the implantation of a tooth with incomplete root development to replace an injured or missing tooth. An initial surgery was performed to attempt orthodontic traction without success after 6 months. TECHNIQUE: Preoperative assessment included mandibular cone beam computed tomography to visualise two canines. The double autotransplantation technique was performed under general anaesthesia using three-dimensional resin-printed dental replicas. The extra-alveolar time for each tooth was reportedly <1 min, and pulp sensibility was observed 3 months later. CONCLUSION: In the digital era, dental autotransplantation has become an essential part of orthodontic-surgical treatment in children and adolescents with dental agenesis or non-preservable teeth. The use of three-dimensional dental replicas printed from radiological data offers a reliable, reproducible, and valid therapeutic solution with an advantageous benefit/risk balance.

INTRODUCTION: With the rise of digital workflow, the production of implant guides is becoming increasingly easy and reproducible. The objective is to obtain an optimal correlation between the prosthetic and implant axis to ensuring the "X jaw - one day" concept in the short term and a sustainable technique in a long term TECHNIQUE: This approach requires a strict and rigorous preoperative evaluation. The data recording steps allow a complete visualization of the case and are used to custom the guide. The bone support is surmounted by several stages (positioning guide, drilling guide and the future temporary prosthesis). CONCLUSION: Despite the time-consuming nature, this technique provides a reliable and reproducible protocol for immediate loading without compromising the prosthetic axis.

INTRODUCTION: Cartilage and bone graft are customarily used for dorsal augmentation in rhinoplasty. Daniel and Calvert described an original technique in 2004, using diced cartilage grafts wrapped in temporal fascia (DC-F). TECHNICAL NOTE: We describe the technical procedure used to correct severe nasal saddles with stable results. DISCUSSION: Diced cartilage grafts wrapped in temporal fascia is an interesting alternative in rhinoplasty with dorsal augmentation: this composite graft is malleable and can be used whatever the quality of the recipient site. It remains malleable postoperatively.

AIMS: Obstructive eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction involves otologic complications, including cholesteatoma, and requires specific treatment. A causal relationship between obstructive ET dysfunction and chronic rhinosinusitis has only been suspected so far. Tubomanometry (TMM) is a new tool in ET dysfunction diagnosis and description. It has mainly been studied in chronic otitis patients but never in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The aim of this work was to obtain TMM results from a CRS patient population presenting clinical ET dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective monocentric non-blinded study was performed between November 1 2015 and February 29 2016, involving all adult patients (>18 years; n=294) suffering from bilateral chronic rhinosinusitis who consulted at the rhinology unit at our referral ENT university center; 129 patients were included. An obstructive ET dysfunction clinical screening questionnaire (ETDQ-7) was obtained from all patients. When the mean ETDQ-7 score was≥2.1, a more extensive clinical assessment was performed including clinical maneuvers, otoscopy, transnasal endoscopy, audiometry, tympanometry and TMM for the diagnosis of ET dysfunction. RESULTS: Forty-seven per cent (n=61) had a positive ETDQ-7, 64% (n=39) of which had pathologic tubomanometric results: thirty-two (52.5%) had obstructive ET dysfunction TMM results and the remaining 7 (11.5%) patients had patulous ET TMM results. CONCLUSIONS: Tubomanometry is a promising new tool for the evaluation of ET dysfunction and could be added to clinical assessment of chronic rhinosinusitis patients.

Inter-alveolar augmented corticotomies with bone grafting may be used before orthodontic treatment in cases of root out or in major proclination movements in the lower anterior region. Bone graft particle spreading with reduced confinement and strong labial muscle contractions may cause graft resorption. Herein we describe a combined orthodontic corticotomy technique involving periosteal flap grafting confinement and a surgical muscle-weakening flap to avoid resorption.

Hyperactivity of the lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) is one of the theories postulated to explain anterior disc displacement, which can result in difficulty in jaw opening, jaw protrusion, or jaw-deviation dystonias and interferes with mastication, speech, and swallowing. Injection of botulinum toxin of the LPM is considered a conservative therapeutic modality for this condition. The LPM is a deep facial structure and several techniques have been described that use magnetic resonance imaging, arthroscopic, or electromyographic guidance to perform intramuscular botulinum toxin injection safely this to prevent incorrect injection or complications, such arterial bleeding. This study provided a described step-by-step description of the computer-aided design and manufacturing procedure for the fabrication of an in-house guide to simplify the method of botulinum toxin injection in the LPM and ensure accuracy and safety in medical office.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has had a major impact on medical and surgical activities. A decline in facial trauma incidence was noticed during the lockdown period. The aim of this study was to evaluate the decline in maxillofacial trauma in France during this particular period. A retrospective multicentre comparative study was initiated in 13 major French public hospital centres. The incidence of facial trauma requiring surgery during the first month of lockdown was compared to that during equivalent periods in 2018 and 2019. Differences in the types of trauma were also analysed. Thirteen maxillofacial departments participated in the study. A significant decline in maxillofacial trauma volumes was observed when compared to equivalent periods in 2018 and 2019 (106 patients compared to 318 and 296 patients, respectively), with an average reduction of 65.5% (P=0.00087). The proportion of trauma due to sports and leisure was reduced when compared to reports in the literature. As a consequence, in the context of a pandemic, the material and human resources related to this activity could be reallocated to the management of other pathologies that cannot be postponed.

INTRODUCTION: Severe mandibular incisor crowding with bone insufficiency is usually treated by dental extractions and orthodontic management. Symphyseal distraction was proposed to avoid tooth extraction. This technique is still considered as invasive, complex and unsafe. We evaluated symphyseal distraction to clarify its indications, and to suggest a simplified surgical protocol. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Six patients were treated by symphyseal distraction: three with a bone-anchored device and three with a dental anchored one. Pre and postoperative inter-canine measurements and occlusal stability were analyzed. RESULTS: Postoperative inter-canine measurements increased from 3.4 to 6.8mm (mean 5.2mm). All patients were in Angle class I occlusion without complications. Dental anchored device simplified the surgical procedure. DISCUSSION: Symphyseal distraction with dental anchored device is a simple, efficient and reliable to treat severe transverse mandibular deficiency. The orthodontist can manage the procedure by himself and controls the whole expansion process according to specific requirements.

OBJECTIVE: This study is an evaluation of technical feasibility and clinical results of the wide marginal rhinoplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A wide marginal approach has been used in remodeling and positioning cartilage grafts in 13 cadavers. The clinical study was focused on 20 patients with aesthetics indications and no functional need. The practise was a work on the dorsum, the tip, resections of alar and cartilage graft positioning. We investigated the feasibility of different procedures, quality of exposure and we have identified the problems and incidents of dissection. In additional a subjective evaluation of patient satisfaction and a 6 to 15 months photographic follow up were performed. RESULTS: The operative incidents and problems were similar in anatomic and clinical study. Our study found an excellent technical feasibility with an easy job in the lateral areas and more difficult in median area. CONCLUSION: Wide marginal approach in rhinoplasty doesn't substitute open rhinoplasty but can be used in specific indications.

The parapharyngeal space may be a site for tumors, especially for those developed in the deep parotid lobe. The surgical route to parapharyngeal space tumors is a challenge because of neighbor anatomic structures and the specific risk of mandibular nerve damage. The aim of this study was to describe an original lateral transmandibular route, setting aside the mandible angle and preserving the mandibular nerve.

INTRODUCTION: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases characterized by cutaneous and/or mucosal fragility. Blisters can occur spontaneously or because of minor friction on facial skin or the oral cavity. The repercussions of these dermatoses complicate the management of patients during surgery; for example, wisdom teeth removal might be complicated because of the limited mouth opening and mucosal lesions may be aggravated when the area of the wisdom teeth is being explored. Here, we describe the orofacial surgical management procedure for the extraction of the wisdom teeth of a patient with microstomia complicated by dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) with high risk of mucosal lesion aggravation. TECHNIQUE: A 25-year-old woman with recessive DEB sought extraction of four wisdom teeth because of inclusion, recurrent pain, and dental caries. Anaesthesia was supported with conventional sequence induction and fibre-optic device-assisted nasotracheal intubation. A paediatric cuffed endotracheal tube and a fiberscope were lubricated before use in order to reduce friction against the naso-oropharyngeal mucosa. Hydrocellular foam dressing was applied on the face with soft adhesive silicone to avoid cutaneous wounds. No pressure was exerted on the patient's body during surgery. Surgical retractors were covered with hydrocellular foam dressing with silicone, and the labial commissures were protected with petroleum jelly. The dental extractions were performed with caution. DISCUSSION: Intraoral blistering in EB and scarring may result in microstomia and obliteration sulci, which can lead to difficulties in navigating the oral cavity. Consensus on a reasonable treatment protocol is lacking because no large cohort study exists. Lack of preparation of the facial skin and surgical instruments can lead to aggravation of lesions, especially when reaching for the third molars. A standardized procedure with general anaesthesia might pose fewer difficulties during the operation and limit facial and oral lesion aggravation. Prophylactic extraction of the third molar in younger patients with EB should be considered to avoid complications. CONCLUSION: Atraumatic anaesthesia procedures and specific surgical care for these patients can be provided by using a protocol that protects the skin and mucous membranes from traumas.

Orthognathic surgical technique of segmental osteogenesis distraction of the anterior mandible alveolar process (front-block) was introduced by Triaca and al. in 2001 [2] including lower incisors. The technical note describes distraction process used both, dental-borne distractor and bone-borne distractor. A genioplasty plate was used as a bone-borne distractor. The main point here is that distraction depends on two distraction vectors, a dental one and an alveolar one. It provides good stability and controlled segmental osteogenesis translation and allows sufficient alveolar segmental transport without loading the teeth too heavily.

INTRODUCTION: Three-dimensional imaging of facial surfaces is a useful tool in different fields of cranio-facial, maxillo-facial and facial aesthetic surgery. Many devices that use several stereoscopic cameras are available but require a dedicated room. In contrast, the Vectra H-1 is a handheld device that can be used regardless of location but requires three consecutive acquisition and might therefore provide less accuracy. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility of the Vectra H1 device to validate its use in daily medical practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A comparative analysis of the Vectra H1 device and a digital calliper was performed based on 23 distances measured among 11 facial landmarks. One operator repeated the procedure six times on a 24-year-old male volunteer to assess repeatability, and six operators performed the measurement procedure on a 22-year-old female volunteer to assess reproducibility. Repeatability, reproducibility and accuracy versus the distances measured were successively assessed by testing the correlations between the distances measured versus the coefficient of variation (CV) calculated for repeatability, reproducibility and accuracy. RESULTS: The CVs for all distances ranged from 0.34% to 1.53% and decreased linearly when distances measured increased, and this correlation was significant (P = 0.0026) for repeatability. The CVs for all distances ranged from 0.23% to 2.90% and decreased linearly as distances measured increased; there was a significant correlation (P = 0.00045) for reproducibility. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that the Vectra H1 provides an accurate linear assessment of clinical parameters and allows the accurate analysis of craniofacial morphology. Furthermore, this device costs less and requires less space than other multi-pod devices.

Condyle repositioning during bilateral sagittal splint osteotomy (BSSO) is a challenging step for the inexperienced surgeon. We aimed to demonstrate the benefit of navigation for learning the condyle repositioning. We treated 100 patients who underwent a BSSO. A trainee performed the condyle repositioning of one side in two phases. In the first one, the trainee positioned without watching the screen of the Orthopilot Navigation system (ONS). In the second one, the trainee could use the ONS to replace the condyle. Heuristic, anatomical and functional scores of each phase were recorded. Heuristic (17% vs. 75%; p<0.0001), anatomical (35% vs. 86%; p<0.0001) and functional (14% vs. 56%; p<0.0001) scores were significantly greater with the ONS. The ONS is a promising and original intraoperative learning tool for the repositioning of the condyle during BSSO.

INTRODUCTION: Cutting and drilling guides manufactured using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies have attracted increasing interest in orthognathic surgery, particularly in complex cases. The development of these guides requires virtual surgery planning and three-dimensional modelling before they can be printed in titanium, polyamide or resin. We report the use of a personalized titanium device to assist bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) with or without genioplasty combined with individual implants for repositioning and fixation. This one-piece guide for both sides of the BSSO allows the initiation of cutting and drilling with less invasive drill placement and greater accuracy. PROCEDURE: The titanium guide was manufactured using CAD/CAM technologies after conventional digital planning of BSSO. Intraoperatively, the guide was fitted on each side of the mandibular occlusal surface and screwed to predesigned drill holes. The guide facilitates the predrilling of screw holes and the initiation of cutting for buccal, lingual and external oblique ridge corticotomy using a piezosurgery device. CONCLUSION: Based on our experience, we think that this guide is a promising new tool to assist BSSO. It helped limit the extent of tissue detachment required and provided the strength necessary for accurate bone cutting and drilling. It also allowed the accurate fixation of preformed plates to obtain occlusion as per virtual planning.

INTRODUCTION: Facial injuries by penetrating foreign body are unusual and require specific multidisciplinary surgical management. CASE REPORT: This case report concerns a 20-year-old man who experienced a penetrating injury by a piece of wood to the face and describes the surgical approach to remove the wood and repair the injury. The foreign body had penetrated the infratemporal fossa, with an entry wound situated below the right eye and an exit wound in the neck, in contact with the left internal carotid artery. An adapted surgical strategy was necessary in view of the site of the foreign body. The internal carotid artery was controlled in order to follow the foreign body as far as its entry into the base of the skull. The proximity of the eye and carotid and jugular vessels and the deep penetration of the foreign body required the participation of interventional radiologists, head and neck and vascular surgeons and ophthalmologists. DISCUSSION: The site of the foreign body, precisely determined preoperatively, justified management by a multidisciplinary team to ensure rapid extraction, while limiting the risk of additional lesions. With a follow-up of 6 months, the patient did not present any sequelae of his facial injury.

INTRODUCTION: Silent sinus syndrome is an unusual cause of progressive enophthalmos and hypoglobus due to atelectasia of the maxillary sinus associated with osteolysis of the orbital floor. This syndrome is classically idiopathic, but the term is also used to describe traumatic or iatrogenic (surgical orbital decompression) cases. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 33-year-old man who presented with a left orbital trauma without functional disorder. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a nondisplaced fracture of the left orbital floor. No surgical indication was made. Three months later, the patient presented with progressive enophthalmos. CT revealed a complete lysis of the left orbital floor and a left maxillary sinus atelectasia. DISCUSSION: The original nondisplaced fracture of the orbital floor was not responsible for enophthalmos but the associated fracture of the left uncinate process that induced the closure of the left maxillary sinus infundibulum. This induced in turn hypoventilation of the sinus and a left orbital floor lysis. Treatment consisted in surgical opening of the maxillary sinus ostium and reconstruction of the orbital floor.

The aim of this study was to predict stress modification in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) after symphyseal distraction (SD). The study was performed using three-dimensional finite element analysis using a complete mastication model. Geometric data were obtained from MRI and CT scans of a healthy male patient and each component was meshed as various regions. The distraction was performed with a 10mm expansion after simulation of a surgical vertical osteotomy line on the model in the mandibular midline region. The geometry and mesh of the bone callus were constructed. The bone callus was modelled as a strengthened region characterized by a Young's modulus corresponding to consolidated bone to predict the long-term biomechanical effect of SD. Boundary conditions for jaw closing simulations were represented by different jaw muscle load directions. The von Mises stress distributions in both joint discs and condyles during closing conditions were analysed and compared before and after SD. Stress distribution was similar in discs and on condylar surfaces in the pre- and post-distraction models. The outcomes of this study suggest that anatomical changes in TMJ structures should not predispose to long-term tissue fatigue and demonstrate the absence of clinical permanent TMJ symptoms after SD.

Pre-irradiation dental care depends on teeth health, fields and dose of irradiation, compliance to fluorides, cessation of tobacco and psychosocial cofactors. Dental care aims at preventing complications and preserving the quality of life (eating, speech and aesthetics). Approximately 11% of patients do not require any pre-irradiation dental care. Dental complications vary from slight colorations of the teeth to major complication such as osteoradionecrosis. Osteoradionecrosis rates vary from 1 to 9%, and may be decreased by using a 21-day delay between extractions and irradiation, provided that it does not postpone cancer treatment, with a dose-dependent risk (<6% if <40 Gy; 14% between 40 et 60 Gy; > or =20% if >60 Gy). Osteoradionecrosis occurs spontaneously (35%), mostly involves the mandibula (85%).
