Marginal bone loss one year after implantation: a systematic review of different loading protocols

The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of different loading protocols on marginal bone loss (MBL). The outcomes of different implant loading protocols were assessed at 1year after implantation, with focus on MBL; protocols included immediate, immediate non-occlusal, early, and conventional loading. The search strategy resulted in 889 studies. Twenty-two of these studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Among the included studies, the lowest MBL was for immediately loaded implants (0.05±0.67mm)...

Quantification of the inaccuracy of conventional articulator model surgery in Le Fort 1 osteotomy: evaluation of 30 patients controlled by the Orthopilot® navigation system

Occlusal splints are commonly used to position the maxilla during traditional orthognathic surgery. We aimed to quantify the inaccuracy of the maxillary positioning (in three dimensions) in traditional model surgery with the Orthopilot® navigation system. Thirty Le Fort I osteotomies were made using a standard technique. The position of the maxilla was recorded by the navigation system and defined by three values of translation and three of rotation. The recorded data were compared with the planned...

Overnight endotracheal intubation in patients who have free-flap reconstruction of the head and neck: a cautionary note

Overnight intubation, which avoids the need for tracheostomy in patients who have operations for cancer of the head and neck, has increased in popularity in the United Kingdom since initial reports of the Gloucester experience in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.1 We have adopted overnight intubation as part of an improved recovery protocol in our own unit, with positive results.

Effect of bimaxillary orthognathic surgery on dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint: a retrospective study of 500 consecutive cases

We investigated the effect of bimaxillary orthognathic surgery on symptoms in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and predictive factors for postoperative dysfunction. A total of 500 patients with different craniofacial deformities who were having bimaxillary orthognathic surgery were assessed for overjet, overbite, maximal mouth opening, maximal protrusion, maximal lateral movement to both sides, and symptoms of TMJ dysfunction (pain on palpation, clicking, or crepitus) before operation and one year...

Radiographic outcomes of transcrestal and lateral sinus floor elevation: one‐year results of a bi‐center, parallel‐arm randomized trial

Abstract Objectives to comparatively evaluate the radiographic outcomes of transcrestal and lateral sinus floor elevation (tSFE and lSFE, respectively) when applied concomitantly with implant placement. Materials and Methods Patients with at least 1 edentulous site with residual bone height (RBH) of 3‐6 mm were enrolled in a bi‐center, parallel‐arm, randomized trial. Both tSFE and lSFE were associated with a bovine‐derived xenograft, and implants were inserted concomitantly. In lSFE group,...

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of combining helical Tomotherapy (HT) and intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) in treating the patients with nasopharynx cancer (NPC). From January 2016 till March 2018, 98 patients received definitive radiation therapy (RT) with concurrent chemotherapy (CCRT). Using simultaneous integrated boost and adaptive re-plan, 3 different dose levels were prescribed: 68.4 Gy in 30 fractions to GTV, 60 Gy in 30 fractions to high-risk CTV, and 36 Gy in 18 fractions to low-risk CTV. In all patients, the initial 18 fractions were delivered by HT, and, after rival plan evaluation on the adaptive re-plan, the later 12 fractions were delivered either by HT in 63 patients (64.3%, HT only) or IMPT in 35 patients (35.7%, HT/IMPT combination), respectively. Propensity score matching was conducted to control differences of patients' characteristics. In all patients, grade ≥2 mucositis (69.8% vs 45.7%, p=.019) and grade ≥2 analgesic usage (54% vs 37.1%, p=.110) were less frequent in HT/IMPT group. In matched patients, grade ≥2 mucositis were still less frequent numerically in HT/IMPT group (62.9% vs 45.7%, p=.150). In univariate analysis, stage IV disease and larger GTV volume were associated with more grade ≥2 mucositis. There was no significant factor in multivariate analysis. With the median 14 months' follow-up, locoregional and distant failures occurred in 9 (9.2%) and 12 (12.2%) patients without difference by RT modality. In conclusion, comparable early oncologic outcomes with more favorable acute toxicity profiles were achievable by HT/IMPT combination in treating NPC patients. This article is protected by copyright.
