Large intraoral spindle cell lipoma.

Lipomas are relatively common benign neoplasms composed by mature fat cells. Apart from conventional lipomas, several other subtypes have been described in the oral cavity, including fibrolipoma, myxoid lipoma, angiolipoma, myolipoma, chondrolipoma, osteolipoma and spindle cell lipoma (SCL). Intraoral SCL is rare, representing from 1.4% to 9.8% of all intraoral lipomas. The aim of the present study is to report a case of a large intraoral SCL of the buccal mucosa affecting a 46-year-old male, calling attention to its clinical and histological features and to its successfull surgical conservative management. Key words:Lipoma, spindle cell, oral, buccal mucosa.

What grafting materials produce greater alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction? A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

A systematic review and network meta-analysis was conducted to compare different bone-substitute materials used for alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction. The electronic search was carried out on Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, and grey literature up to March 22, 2020 (registration number INPLASY202030005). Only randomized controlled trials were included to answer the following PICOS question: 'What grafting materials produce greater alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction?' The primary outcomes were the alveolar width resorption 1 mm below the alveolar crest and buccal height resorption in millimeters. Of the 4379 studies initially identified, 31 studies involving 1088 patients were included in the quantitative analyses. Out of 25 revised biomaterials, eight showed a statistically significant difference compared with unassisted healing in both alveolar width and height measurements (mean width differences: ApatosⓇ, 2.27 [1.266-3.28]; Bio-OssⓇ, 0.88 [0.33-1.42]; Bio-Oss CollⓇ, 0.53 [0.04-1.01]; Bond-apatiteⓇ, 2.20 [1.30-3.11]; freeze-dried bone allograft, 1.35 [0.44-2.26]; Gen-OsⓇ, 1.90 [0.60-3.20]; platelet-rich fibrin, 1.66 [0.66-2.67]; and MP3Ⓡ, 2.67 [1.59-3.75]). Overall, xenograft materials should be considered as among the best of the available grafting materials for alveolar preservation after tooth extraction.

Immediate three-dimensional changes in the oropharynx after different mandibular advancements in counterclockwise rotation orthognathic planning.

BACKGROUND: A retrospective cohort study was performed to evaluate the immediate effect on the oropharynx dimensions from different mandibular advancements in patients undergone counterclockwise rotation (CCW) of the maxillomandibular complex. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 138 CBCT images of patients, who had undergone orthognathic surgery, were identified from Dolphin Imaging archive according to pre- (T0) and post-operative (T1) times. Each pre-operative CBCT image was selected considering retrognathic mandible. Superimpositions of CBCT images were performed to measure mandibular advancement at B point in millimeters (mm) and divided into three groups: G1 (< 5 mm), G2 (between 5 and 10 mm) and G3 (> 10 mm). For evaluating oropharynx dimension at T0 and T1 for each group, medial sagittal area (MSA), volume, and minimum cross-sectional axial area (CSA) were measured on Dolphin Imaging. Pearson correlation verified reliability of method. Paired t-test were applied to compare values of measurements between T0 and T1 (p ≤ 0.05). RESULTS: 88 CBCT images were included. Method was reliable (r ≥ 0.93). According to MSA, volume and CSA values from G1, there was no significant difference between T0 and T1. CSA values presented significant difference comparing T0 and T1 in G2 (p ≤ 0.05). In subjects of G3, measurements increased in T1 significantly affecting oropharynx dimension. CONCLUSIONS: MSA, volume and CSA values showed a significant increase affecting upper airway in advancements higher than 10 mm. Mandibular advancement range showed different effects in the airway space and should be considered to achieve favorable post-operative results in the oropharynx dimensions. Key words:Retrognathia, orthognathic surgery, three-dimensional imaging, oropharynx, airway.

Tomographic and histomorphometric evaluation of socket healing after tooth extraction using leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin: A randomized, single-blind, controlled clinical trial.

The use of platelet concentrate in alveolar ridge preservation has been broadly studied. However, no randomized clinical trials with histomorphometric analysis and low risk of bias are available in the literature. We conducted a prospective, single-blind, parallel, randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) in socket preservation after tooth extraction. Additionally, the effect of L-PRF on bone formation was analyzed histologically using bone biopsy specimens obtained during implant placement. A total of 48 subjects who underwent a non-molar tooth extraction were randomly assigned to the L-PRF group (n = 24) or the control group (n = 24). Cone-beam computed tomographies were performed immediately after tooth extraction and at 3 months after tooth extraction, prior to implant surgery. A significant difference in bone resorption was registered 1 mm below the crest: 0.93 ± 0.9 mm for the L-PRF group and 2.27 ± 1.2 mm for the control group (p = 0.0001). Histomorphometric analysis showed a higher percentage of new bone formation in the L-PRF group compared with the control group. The values were 55.96 ± 11.97% and 39.69 ± 11.13%, respectively (p = 0.00001). These findings indicate that the administration of L-PRF should always be considered when socket preservation is planned (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03408418).

Which is the best choice after tooth extraction, immediate implant placement or delayed placement with alveolar ridge preservation? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

A comprehensive literature search on implant placement protocols after tooth extraction (immediate, early, delayed, or later) was performed up to 2018. The screening process selected only randomized clinical trials (RCTs) from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, and grey literature. A series of pairwise meta-analyses was carried out to evaluate implant performance in each protocol. The primary outcomes were implant survival and esthetic outcome, measured by pink esthetic score (PES), and the secondary outcomes were peri-implant bone resorption and implant complications. The outcomes were at least 1 year after implant surgery. A total of 5056 studies were found, of which 16 were included for qualitative analysis and 9 for quantitative analysis. The meta-analysis showed increased risk of implant failure by 3% in the immediate implant protocol. PES analysis showed no statistical significant difference between immediate or delayed protocols (p = 0.16). However, the subgroup analysis showed that the anterior region presented better results with immediate implants, while the molar region presented better results with delayed implants. The quantitative analysis showed no statistical difference in peri-implant bone resorption between the immediate and delayed implant protocols (p = 0.42). Due to the lack of studies with a low risk of bias, further RCTs are needed for definitive conclusions.

Orthodontic-surgical retreatment of facial asymmetry with occlusal cant and severe root resorption: A 3-year follow-up.

Our objective was to report the orthodontic and surgical retreatment of a patient who had undergone a prolonged orthodontic treatment with extractions, but who had unsatisfactory results and persistent side effects. The man, aged 25 years 3 months, sought treatment with major complaints of facial and smile asymmetries. The clinical examination showed a mandibular deviation to the right and a maxillary occlusal cant. A Class II Division 1 subdivision right was observed. Radiographic examination showed extensive root resorptions in the maxillary second premolars and absence of the 4 first premolars. The maxillary midline was deflected 2 mm to the left, and the mandibular midline was shifted 5 mm to the right. Aligning and leveling were performed with orthodontic fixed appliances, with a standard edgewise system (0.022 × 0.028 in), followed by LeFort I maxillary impaction and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy with asymmetrical advancement. Retreatment showed outstanding results that remained stable after 3 years of follow-up. Root resorption in the second premolars did not seem to increase. Orthodontic-surgical intervention is the main choice for correcting esthetic and functional problems in facial asymmetry, particularly in cases of retreatment.

Efficacy of Gastric Aspiration in Reducing Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting After Orthognathic Surgery: A Double-Blind Prospective Study.

PURPOSE: To determine whether gastric aspiration performed after orthognathic surgery, in conjunction with a prophylactic protocol, could prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-four consecutive patients treated at a single academic institution were included in this double-blinded randomized control trial and were divided into control (n = 12) and study (n = 12) groups. Patients underwent orthognathic surgery, and the same anesthetic protocol was used for the 2 groups. The only difference between groups was the performance of gastric aspiration in the study group. Patients were observed during the first postoperative day, and information concerning PONV was collected and statistically analyzed. RESULTS: The 2 groups were similar in age, gender, and medical history. There was no statistically relevant difference between the control and study groups in the overall incidence of PONV (33.3 vs 33.3%). However, there was a significant correlation between the presence of PONV after turbinectomy (P = .011) and patient dissatisfaction (P = .049). CONCLUSION: The results of this study could not associate the performance of gastric aspiration with a decrease in the incidence of PONV after orthognathic surgery.

Sleep-disordered breathing following mandibular setback: a systematic review of the literature.

INTRODUCTION: A mandibular setback reduces space in the pharyngeal airway, and it has been suggested that it might induce sleep-disordered breathing. OBJECTIVES: An evidence-based literature review was conducted to identify the effect of mandibular setback on the respiratory function during sleep. METHODS: The authors performed a systematic review of pertinent literature published up to 2014. A structured search of literature was performed, with predefined criteria. A survey of the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane database was performed. A manual search of oral and maxillofacial surgery-related journals was accomplished. Potentially relevant studies then had their full-text publication reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 1,780 publications were evaluated, through which nine papers (seven case series and two case-control studies) were selected for the final review. No evidence of sleep disorder after six months was related in 223 patients. In one study, two patients developed obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after surgery, and in another two studies, seven patients presented an increase of obstructive apneas/hypopneas events and oxygen desaturation index. Most of the patients analyzed were young and thin. CONCLUSION: There was no evidence of postoperative sleep apnea syndrome after a mandibular setback surgery. However, one should always consider a potential reduction of the upper airway space during the treatment plan. Obese patients and those submitted to large amounts of mandibular setbacks present a higher chance to develop obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Análise cefalométrica das vias aéreas superiores de pacientes Classe III submetidos a tratamento ortocirúrgico / Cephalometric analysis of the upper airways of Class III patients subjected to orthosurgical treatment

OBJETIVO: o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as alterações causadas por cirurgia ortognática de recuo mandibular associada ou não à cirurgia maxilar combinada nas vias aéreas superiores (VAS). MÉTODOS: foram avaliadas radiografias cefalométricas de perfil pré-cirúrgicas e pós-cirúrgicas imediatas de 17 pacientes com Classe III. Foram realizadas medições do diâmetro do espaço aéreo (EA) no plano sagital, nas regiões correspondentes à hipofaringe e à orofaringe; também foram registradas as alterações na posição do osso hioide. Utilizou-se o teste t pareado e o coeficiente Pearson, buscando possíveis associações entre as alterações esqueléticas e as ocorridas no EA. RESULTADOS: observou-se redução significativa do EA na região da hipofaringe (média de 3,10mm, p=0,024). O osso hioide sofreu deslocamento inferior e posterior, além de diminuição da distância entre o mesmo e a região anterior da mandíbula. Não foi possível correlacionar, quantitativamente, a redução anteroposterior do EA com o recuo mandibular. Entretanto, observou-se correlação forte entre o diâmetro inicial do EA e a quantidade de redução observada ao nível da hipofaringe, e moderada em relação à orofaringe. CONCLUSÕES: o recuo mandibular pode causar estreitamento significativo das VAS, principalmente na porção mais inferior (hipofaringe). Portanto, deve-se atentar para sua avaliação durante o plano de tratamento ortocirúrgico, já que não foram descartados possíveis efeitos deletérios dessas alterações nas funções do indivíduo.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of orthognathic surgery for mandibular setback - with and without combined maxillary surgery - on the upper airways (UA).METHODS: Immediate lateral preoperative and postoperative cephalometric radiographs of 17 Class III patients were evaluated. Measurements of airway space (AS) diameter were taken in the sagittal plane in the hypopharyngeal and oropharyngeal regions, and changes in hyoid bone position were also recorded. Paired t-test and Pearson's coefficient were applied seeking for potential associations between skeletal and AS changes.RESULTS: Significant AS reduction was noted in the hypopharyngeal region (mean= 3.10 mm, p= 0.024). The hyoid bone was displaced inferiorly and posteriorly, thereby reducing its distance to the anterior mandibular region. No quantitative correlation could be established between anteroposterior AS reduction and mandibular setback. However, there was a strong correlation between initial AS diameter and the amount of reduction observed in the hypopharynx, but only moderate correlation with the oropharynx.CONCLUSIONS: Mandibular setback can cause significant UA narrowing, especially in the inferior-most portion (hypopharynx). Therefore, special attention should be given to UA evaluation when formulating an orthosurgical treatment plan since the potential deleterious effects of these changes on functions of the patients should not be overlooked.

Simulação computadorizada do perfil facial em cirurgia ortognática: precisão cefalométrica e avaliação por ortodontistas / Prediction of soft-tissue profile by video imaging in orthognathic surgery: cephalometric accuracy and orthodontists' judgement

OBJETIVO: verificar a precisão de um programa de simulação computadorizada na predição de alterações no perfil facial em diferentes tipos de cirurgia ortognática. METODOLOGIA: utilizou-se radiografias e fotografias de perfil das fases pré-cirúrgica e final de 32 pacientes. As movimentações esqueléticas do procedimento cirúrgico foram reproduzidas no traçado pré-cirúrgico, gerando mudanças no perfil mole, originando o traçado e a imagem predictiva de perfil. Analisou-se o perfil da amostra total e dividida em dois grupos, sem cirurgias no sentido vertical (AP) e com cirurgias de impacção ou reposicionamento inferior da maxila (V). Comparou-se cefalometricamente pontos do perfil mole dos traçados predictivo e final. As imagens predictivas computadorizadas foram comparadas com as imagens finais por 20 ortodontistas, que avaliaram cinco regiões: perfil total, nariz, lábio superior, lábio inferior e mento. RESULTADOS E CONCLUSÕES: observou-se variabilidade de posicionamento dos pontos do perfil, com mais de 60 por cento dos erros até 2mm e 17 por cento acima de 3mm. Diferenças significativas entre os pontos foram mais freqüentes no sentido vertical. Os ângulos nasolabial e mentolabial predictivos apresentaram-se mais agudos que os finais. As notas médias encontradas na análise subjetiva variaram de 56 para o lábio inferior a 75,42 para o nariz. As imagens predictivas não apresentaram diferenças significativas de qualidade entre os grupos. Em comparação com outros sistemas de simulação computadorizada, este programa pode ser considerado útil na prática clínica ortodôntica e cirúrgica. Entretanto, diante de algumas limitações observadas, recomenda-se cautela no planejamento e apresentação do caso, considerando que algumas predições podem exigir melhorias com ferramentas de ajuste.

AIM: To verify the accuracy of a video imaging software on the soft tissue profile prediction of patients who underwent different types of orthognathic surgery. METHODS: Presurgical and posttreatment lateral cephalograms and photographs of 32 patients were used. Profile predictions were obtained from hard tissue manipulation on the presurgical tracings. Prediction evaluation was applied to the total sample and to subgroups with maxillary impaction or downgraft (V) or without surgeries in the vertical plane (AP). Points of prediction's soft tissue line were compared with those of the posttreatment tracing. Prediction and posttreatment profile images were subjectively compared by 20 orthodontists. Five regions (overall profile, nose, upper lip, lower lip and chin) were graded from 0 to 100 with a visual analog scale. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Soft-tissue profile points showed location variability, with more than 60 percent of the errors up to 2mm and 17 percent greater than 3mm. Statistically significant differences in the cephalometric analysis were more frequently observed on the vertical plane. Nasolabial and mentolabial prediction angles were more acute than those of the posttreatment tracings. The aesthetic analysis showed greater mean values in comparison with other studies, varying from 56.00 for the lower lip to 75.42 for the nose. Prediction images precision showed no significant difference between cases with or without vertical changes. This program can be considered useful in orthodontic and surgical clinical practice. However, based on some observed limitations, the authors recommend caution in treatment planning and case presentation, and some predictions may require improvement with enhancement tools.

Orthodontic and surgical treatment of a patient with an ankylosed temporomandibular joint.

This article describes the surgical and orthodontic treatment of a girl with facial deformities and functional involvement. The left temporomandibular joint was ankylosed, and the lower third of the face was markedly deficient, with mandibular retrusion and severe laterognathism to the left side. Mouth-opening was limited, and the patient had problems speaking and chewing. Two surgical procedures had been performed previously at another institution. We treated the patient with condylar surgery while she was still growing, followed by orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery after growth was complete. Twelve-year follow-up records are presented.

Cirurgia oral em pacientes com distúbios de sangramento. Como proceder? / Oral surgery in patients with bleeding disordes. What to do?

Foi realizada uma revisão de estudos comparando pacientes sob regime de anticoagulantes orais ou aspirina submetidos a cirurgia oral. Esses estudos tentaram esclarecer se o sangramento apresentado pelos pacientes durante a cirurgia justificava ou não o risco de interromper a medicação. A maior parte da literatura mostrou que, na maioria das vezes, não há necessidade de suspender a medicação dependendo da extensão do procedimento. Manobras cirúrgicas podem ser utilizadas para controlar o sangramento e reduzir os riscos de tromboembolismo ou outras complicações relacionadas à interrupção de medicação. No entanto, é necessário avaliar os exames laboratoriais e discutir com o médico do paciente.

Sintomatologia de disfunção temporomandibular em pacientes submetidos a tratamento ortodôntico e orto-cirúrgico / Temporomandibula disorder symptomatology in patients submitted to orthodontic and surgical-orthodontic treatment

Os distúrbios da ATM envolvem grande número de problemas clínicos causados por uma série de fatores, sendo alguns ainda controvertidos. Há relatos na literatura de que o tratamento ortodôntico e o tratamento orto-cirúrgico podem interferir nos distúrbios da ATM. Este trabalho comparou os sinais e sintomas de DTM em cinco grupos de pacientes e os resultados sugerem que ambos tratamentos minimizam ou aliviam a sintomatologia da ATM

Alinhamento e nivelamento ortodôntico na cirurgia ortognática segmentada / Orthodontic alignment and leveling in the segmental orthognatic surgery

Foi realizada uma revista da literatura sobre a fase de alinhamento e nivelamento no tratamento ortodôntico pré-cirúrgico nos casos de cirurgia ortognática segmentada, visando auxiliar o ortodontista e o cirurgiäo buco-maxilo-facial na confecçäo do plano de tratamento

Mentoplastias nos laterodesvios mandibulares / Genioplasties in mandibular assimetries

Os pacientes prognatas, eventualmente, experimentam algum grau de laterodesvio mandibular. A osteotomia vertical dos ramos mandibulares tem se consagrado como a técnica de eleiçäo de alguns profissionais quando o recuo de mandíbula é desejado. Entretanto, o procedimento nos ramos pode ou näo alinhar o mento à linha média facial. Neste último caso, faz-se necessária a execuçäo de mentoplastias para lateralizar o mento alinhando-o à linha média facial. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o percentual de pacientes que requerem a mentoplastia, quando submetidos ao recuo da mandíbula e mostrar métodos de diagnóstico do laterodesvio presente no mento. Além disso, säo mostradas técnicas de osteotomias no mento. Verificou-se que 50 por cento dos pacientes submetidos à osteotomia vertical dos ramos para recuo da mandíbula estariam indicados à mentoplastia para lateralizar o mento. Os 50 por cento restantes conseguiram através da osteotomia vertical ter o seu mento alinhado à linha média facial. Vinte por cento dos pacientes indicados para a mentoplastia näo foram submetidos à esta técnica e, portanto, permaneceram com o laterodesvio no mento na fase pós-operatória
