Customed 3D-printed Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Implant for Secondary Salvage Reconstruction of Mandibular Defects: Case Report and Literature Review. J Craniofac Surg 2023; 34:2460-2463.

Abstract
Given the insufficient height of single-barrel fibula and inadequate bone volume of double-barrel vascularized fibula in mandibular reconstruction, it is a better choice to combine the upper full-thickness vascularized fibula with the lower half-thickness nonvascularized fibula. However, the nonvascularized fibula may fail due to complications, affecting the facial shape and occlusal function. Polyetheretherketone is a thermoplastic polymer used for bone defect reconstruction due to its good mechanical properties and biocompatibility. This case report mainly presents a secondary salvage reconstruction of the mandible by using customed 3-dimensional-printing polyetheretherketone, which restored the continuity and symmetry of the mandible, improved the patient's facial shape, and restored functional occlusion through dental implants. After a 28-month follow-up, no complications occurred, and the patient was satisfied with the final restoration.

Lai YS, Lai YH, Lee YC. Impact of fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap laterality in mandibular and intraoral reconstruction. J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg 2023; 86:199-204. [PMID: 37748377 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjps.2023.08.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The fibula flap has been the workhorse flap for mandibular reconstruction. However, relationships among the bone, skin, and vessels raise concerns about donor-side selection. This study aimed to clarify its impact on clinical outcomes. METHODS Between September 2013 and June 2021, 61 cases of fibula osteoseptocutaneous flaps for mandibular and intraoral reconstruction were categorized into the landing-down (N = 25) and swing-up (N = 36) groups depending on whether the skin was easily accessible within the oral cavity. The demographics, operative findings, and outcomes of the cases were compared. RESULTS Overall, seven (11%) flaps developed skin necrosis, including four partial and three total necrosis. The skin necrosis rate was higher in the swing-up than in the landing-down group (19% vs. 0%, p = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS When using the fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap for mandibular and intraoral reconstructions, ensuring that the skin is properly located within the oral cavity could reduce the risk of skin necrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ameloblastic fibro-dentinoma is considered a rare, benign, mixed odontogenic tumor that occurs mainly in the posterior mandible in the 1st-2nd decade of life. Although the clinical behavior of Ameloblastic fibro-dentinoma is similar to that of ameloblastic fibroma, there is a debate about whether Ameloblastic fibro-dentinoma is a developing hamartomatous odontoma or a separate neoplastic odontogenic tumor like ameloblastic fibroma. However, it is important to understand the histopathogenesis of this rare tumor. CASE PRESENTATION A case report presenting an 11-year-old male child with a swelling in the posterior mandible. Radiographic examination revealed a multilocular lesion with mixed radiodensity related to the impacted lower left second premolar tooth. Incisional biopsy was done, and microscopic examination revealed cords and nests of odontogenic follicles lined by ameloblast-like cells and central stellate reticulum-like cells in the primitive ecto-mesenchymal stroma with areas of dentinoid material and osteodentin. The diagnosis was ameloblastic fibro-dentinoma. Surgical excision of the lesion was done, and the patient was followed up for 1 year without evidence of recurrence. CONCLUSION Reporting such a rare entity clarifies the debate about its nature and the importance of early diagnosis of lesions that are associated with unerupted teeth showing how it is effective in early management and prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical and morphological factors have both been described to influence the rate of pseudarthrosis in mandibular reconstruction. By minimizing mechanical confounders, the present study aims to evaluate the impact of bone origin at the intersegmental gap on osseous union. METHODS Patients were screened retrospectively for undergoing multi-segment fibula free flap reconstruction of the mandible including the anterior part of the mandible and osteosynthesis using patient-specific 3D-printed titanium reconstruction plates. Percentage changes in bone volume and width at the bone interface between the fibula/fibula and fibula/mandible at the anterior intersegmental gaps within the same patient were determined using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Additionally, representative samples of the intersegmental zones were assessed histologically and using micro-computed tomography (µCT). RESULTS The bone interface (p = 0.223) did not significantly impact the change in bone volume at the intersegmental gap. Radiotherapy (p < 0.001), time between CBCT scans (p = 0.006) and wound healing disorders (p = 0.005) were independent risk factors for osseous non-union. Preliminary analysis of the microstructure of the intersegmental bone did not indicate morphological differences between fibula-fibula and fibula-mandible intersegmental bones. CONCLUSIONS The bone interface at the intersegmental gap in mandibular reconstruction did not influence long-term bone healing significantly. Mechanical and clinical properties seem to be more relevant for surgical success.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bone resorption of more conventional vascularized bone grafts have been well described showing minimal resorption over time. Few studies have evaluated osseous union and bone resorption in scapula tip free flaps (STFF) in the reconstruction of mandibulectomy defects. We aimed to describe our series on STFF with respect to osseous union and bone resorption over time. METHODS Retrospective chart review of patients receiving STFF from January 2014-January 2017 (n = 25). A neuroradiologist analyzed follow-up CT scans to assess (1) STFF complete, partial, or no osseous union with native mandible and (2) STFF volume change over time in a subset with multiple follow-up scans (n = 18). RESULTS Twenty-three of 25 patients (92%) showed complete or partial STFF osseous union with native mandible either distally or proximally. STFF volume change ranged from +4.8 to -54% (median -0.5%) over median follow-up interval of 23 months. History of chemoradiation therapy, bisphophonate use, sex, age, or smoking history did not correlate with bone resorption. CONCLUSIONS STFFs shows high rates of osseous union and limited bone resorption that is equivalent to, or less than, vascularized fibular and iliac crest flaps. Clinically, this translates into both optimal healing and functional and cosmetic outcomes, especially in the setting of prior therapies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 133:2597-2602, 2023.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ossifying fibromas are rare, non-aggressive benign tumours of the bone, commonly involving the posterior mandible in middle-aged individuals with a female predilection. FINDINGS Clinical manifestations include asymptomatic expansion of the mandible with infrequent maxillary lesions, pain, malocclusion, and compromised quality of life including aesthetic perception. Owing to multiplicity of features, tendency of recurrence, and possibility of malignant transformation, the diagnosis, treatment, and post-operative management of ossifying fibroma are always a challenge. TAKEAWAY LESSONS Study aims to report a clinical case of extensive swelling involving the coronoid process and condyle on the right side to crossing the mid-line of the mandible with compromised functions and aesthetics. The article describes the clinical, histopathological, and radiological features of the case. The possible treatment and challenges encountered are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mandible tumors are very rare. One of the main methods of the treatments is resection of the tumor and then reconstruction of the mandible. The donor site is often distant tissue-fibula or ilium. Following this, it is necessary to improve the patient in two ways, on one hand restoring the function of the mandible, and on the other hand, improving the donor site area. For that reason, physiotherapy after tumor resection and reconstruction of the mandible is very complicated. The aim of this bibliographic review was to find the methods of the reconstruction of the mandible in the context of patients' functional assessment after surgeries to create effective physiotherapeutic procedures in the feature. METHODS PEDro, Medline (PubMed), Cochrane Clinical Trials were searched. RESULTS 767 articles were found. 40 articles were included to this literature review. CONCLUSIONS Authors showed different kinds of surgeries strategy for patients with tumors of the mandible. They also showed manners of patients' functional assessment in the localization of transplantation and donor site. It could be useful for physiotherapists during planning of comprehensive physiotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) printing is now a widely recognized surgical tool in oral and maxillofacial surgery. However, little is known about its benefits for the surgical management of benign maxillary and mandibular tumors and cysts. PURPOSE The objective of this systematic review was to assess the contribution of 3D printing in the management of benign jaw lesions. METHODS A systematic review, registered in PROSPERO, was conducted using PubMed and Scopus databases, up to December 2022, by following PRISMA guidelines. Studies reporting 3D printing applications for the surgical management of benign jaw lesions were considered. RESULTS This review included thirteen studies involving 74 patients. The principal use of 3D printing was to produce anatomical models, intraoperative surgical guides, or both, allowing for the successful removal of maxillary and mandibular lesions. The greatest reported benefits of printed models were the visualization of the lesion and its anatomical relationships to anticipate intraoperative risks. Surgical guides were designed as drilling locating guides or osteotomy cutting guides and contributed to decreasing operating time and improving the accuracy of the surgery. CONCLUSION Using 3D printing technologies to manage benign jaw lesions results in less invasive procedures by facilitating precise osteotomies, reducing operating times, and complications. More studies with higher levels of evidence are needed to confirm our results.

Abstract
A particulate cancellous bone and marrow (PCBM) graft combined with titanium (Ti-) mesh tray has become one of the most popular mandibular reconstruction methods. The technique has been applied to the mandibular discontinuity defects after segmental mandibulectomy. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on using the technique after hemimandibulectomy, during which a wide mandibular resection, including the condyle, is performed. Here, we first report a case of mandibular reconstruction after hemimandibulectomy, using a plate and soft-tissue free flap, followed by a Ti-mesh and PCBM harvested from the bilateral posterior ilia, which was successful. This case report first revealed how bone resorption occurred clinically in mandibular reconstruction using PCBM and Ti-mesh tray after hemimandibulectomy. We also revealed the high predictability of the mandibular reconstruction using PCBM and Ti-mesh tray after hemimandibulectomy. Our report also provides a guiding principle to overcome the limitation of mandibular reconstruction using PCBM and Ti-mesh tray after hemimandibulectomy. However, our manuscript has limited evidence, being a case report.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the effect of three different osteosynthesis plate systems on failure rates and complications after continuity-interrupting mandibular resections with alloplastic reconstructions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records of respective patients from 2010 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The analyses included the osteosynthesis plate type (2.4 MANDIBULAR (RP1: MANDIBULAR [Medicon®, Tuttlingen, Germany]; RP2: Modus® Reco 2.5 [Medartis®, Basel, Switzerland]; and RP3: Modus 2 Mandible [Medartis®, Basel, Switzerland]), extent & location of the defect, age, sex, radiotherapy, and nicotine abuse. In case of failure, timepoint, and the problem, namely oral/extraoral dehiscence, screw loosening, and plate fractures that led to removal, were analyzed. Complications were classified according to Clavien-Dindo system. RESULTS A total of 136 patients were included. The mean follow-up time was 18 ± 26 months. Survival rates after 1, 2, and 5 years were 69.9%, 66.9%, and 64.7%, respectively. Although survival was not significantly associated with the reconstruction system, the most frequent complications were seen in cases of RP1 & RP2 when compared to RP3 (p = 0.033). In brief, dehiscences were seen significantly less often in cases of RP3 (12.5%) when compared to RP1 (44.7%) and RP2 (26.9%; p = 0.024). Fractures of the osteosynthesis systems occurred in 3 of 4 cases (75%) with RP1, in 1 of 4 cases (25%) using RP2, and in no single case using the RP3 system (p = 0.03). Most of the observed complications occurred up to 12 months postoperatively. A total plate survival rate of 64.7% and a total plate complication rate of 47.8% were seen. CONCLUSION In conclusion, it seems that RP3 should be preferred over RP1 and RP2 regarding failure rates and complications.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Reconstruction of children's mandibles after mandibular resection for benign or malignant tumors is challenging. Microvascular flap reconstruction is a common treatment option for restoring mandibular continuity after the resection of oral cavity neoplasms.We presented 2 cases of childhood mandibular reconstruction after tumor wide excision and segmental mandibulectomy, one for malignant cancer and one for benign ossifying fibroma, with serratus-rib composite free flap. All 2 patients had a favorable facial profile, functional outcome, and dental occlusion at the last follow-up. The development of children's mandible and donor site needs to be considered compared with adult's mandibular reconstruction. Given its reliability and utility, this flap can be an alternative for pediatric mandibular reconstruction compared with the free fibular flap and other candidates.

Abstract
Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a benign mixed epithelial and mesenchymal odontogenic tumor. This was previously grouped in odontogenic tumor showing odontogenic epithelium with odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with or without hard tissue formation. This report describes a case of ameloblastic fibroma in a 37-yearold male who came with the complain of swelling in the left side of lower jaw since one year. Enucleation of the mass followed by reconstruction was done six years back. However, after two years of initial treatment; radiographic findings suggested recurrence. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ameloblastic fibroma. Patient had no clinical and radiographic evidence of recurrence in three and six months' follow-up. Because of the higher proliferative capacity and malignant degree of the mesenchymal component in the recurrent neoplasm, sarcomatous transformation may occur. Hence, a long term clinical and radiographical follow-up is essential due to its transformation into ameloblastic fibrosarcoma.

Abstract
Sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma (SOC) is a very rare malignant odontogenic tumor characterized by sclerotic stroma and single-file cord-like tumor cell structures. A 38-year-old man presented with extraoral swelling and right mental region paralysis. Panoramic radiography revealed an ill-defined radiolucent lesion extending from the right mandibular ramus to the right lower canine. Magnetic resonance imaging showed tumor invasion into the right inferior alveolar nerve and masseter muscle. Hemimandibulectomy, bilateral neck dissection, and mandibular reconstruction were performed using a rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap and a titanium plate. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed SOC diagnosis. No recurrence occurred in the 1-year follow-up. In this paper, a case of SOC with a high Ki-67 labeling index was reported. Since SOC is prone to nerve invasion, treatment is resection with an appropriate surgical margin.

Abstract
Background:
Osteoma is a benign bone tumor that rarely affects animals. The most common bones involved with this tumor included the mandible, maxillofacial bones, and nasal sinuses. Definitive diagnosis is based on pathology findings which allow for differentiation with other bone lesions.
Case Description:
The patient, a five-year-old intact male Mongrel dog presented with a huge mandibular mass that involved both the right and left mandible, and led to dental occlusion. The radiography was performed and depicted the intense mass with a well-demarcated edge, a short transitional zone between normal and abnormal bone, and a smooth rounded radiopaque appearance. The investigation according to the fine needle aspiration showed the presence of oval to spindle shape cells with poorly malignancy criteria, fatty cells, reactive osteoblasts and osteoclasts based on a population of spindle-shaped cells, and low numbers of degenerated neutrophils, bacteria, and few macrophages. Then, the radiographic assessments and cytology findings demonstrated the osteoma and referred for surgical intervention. A unilateral mandibulectomy was performed, and the lesion was send to the histopathology laboratory. The histopathology evaluation showed osteocyte proliferation without malignancy features. The osteoblast cells also showed no atypical proliferation that endorses the osteoma tumor.
Conclusion:
Although, mandibular and maxillofacial bone resection in small animals have different tolerations, this patient became a candidate for surgery for future better nutrition and prevention of facial deformity and dental malocclusion. Follow-up after osteoma is one of the most necessary post-operation treatments to check the regeneration of the mass. There are considerable data in this report that should regard this tumor as a possible differential diagnosis for mandibular tumors.

Abstract
Three-dimensional positional changes of the temporomandibular joint after mandible reconstruction using microvascular fibula flaps were investigated in 58 patients. The results of preoperative virtually planned surgery, intraoperative resection- and cutting-guided surgery, and non-guided surgery were compared. Pre- and postoperative computed tomography data of each patient were processed and superimposed digitally. The condyle deviations and rotations along the axes and planes of the skull, as well as Euclidean distances, were determined. Reliability analyses, descriptive statistics, and non-parametric tests were performed with the alpha level set at P = 0.05. Reliability proved to be excellent for all variables. The median Euclidean distance was 2.07 mm for the left condyle and 2.11 mm for the right condyle. Deviations of ≥ 10 mm occurred in nine (16%) cases. The maximum deviation occurred in the horizontal plane and the least deviation in the sagittal plane. Median rotation was ≤ 1.4° around all axes. The condylar displacements did not differ significantly between the different surgical techniques investigated. The three-dimensional measurement method applied is highly reliable for evaluating the three-dimensional condylar position after mandibular reconstruction.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to introduce and evaluate a modified one-and-a-half-barrel fibular technique guided by occlusion for functionally reconstructing mandibular defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen patients underwent mandibular reconstruction with the modified one-and-a-half-barrel technique and simultaneous insertion of dental implants. A vascularized fibular segment was used to reconstruct the alveolar ridge of the neomandible with dental implants loaded simultaneously. The inferior border was reconstructed with a nonvascularized segment. Panoramic radiographs were taken 1 week, 6 months, and 12 months after the surgery to measure the vertical height of the fibular segment, calculate the bone resorption rate at different time points, and observe the implant marginal bone loss and crown-to-implant ratio. The OHIP-14 questionnaire was employed to evaluate the perceived outcomes of oral rehabilitation. RESULTS The vertical height of the vascularized and nonvascularized fibular segments 1 week, 6 months, and 12 months after the surgery was 14.51 ± 1.93, 14.19 ± 1.88, and 13.81 ± 1.78 mm; and 8.65 ± 0.98, 7.72 ± 0.94, and 7.25 ± 0.93 mm, respectively. The bone resorption rate of vascularized and nonvascularized fibular segments was 2.20% ± 1.04% and 10.69% ± 5.73%, respectively, in the first 6 months, and 2.67% ± 1.44% and 6.16% ± 2.75%, respectively, in the latter 6 months, showing a significantly higher resorption rate in the nonvascularized segment (P < .05). The implant marginal bone loss after functional loading was significantly greater than that before dental rehabilitation (P = .001). The OHIP-14 total scores were 20.07 ± 10.24, 19.00 ± 7.82, and 3.93 ± 1.87 before surgery, at 6 months, and at 12 months after surgery, respectively (P = .000). CONCLUSION The proposed technique not only guarantees the esthetic appearance of patients but also achieves a suitable vertical height to facilitate the placement of the implant at the same time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the application of personalized guide plate combined with intraoperative real-time navigation in repairing of mandibular defect using fibula muscle flap, providing the basis for the precise repair and reconstruction of mandible. METHODS The clinical data of 12 patients (9 males and 3 females) aged from 23 to 71 years (mean, 55.5 years) between July 2019 and December 2021 were recorded. These patients were diagnosed as benign or malignant mandibular tumors, including 2 cases of ameloblastoma, 6 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 2 cases of osteosarcoma, 1 case of adenoid cystic carcinoma, and 1 case of squamous carcinoma. All patients were treated with mandibular amputation, and then repaired by double-stacked three-segment fibula muscle flap. Preoperative virtual design scheme and guide plate were performed. During the operation, personalized guide plate combined with real-time navigation was used for fibular osteotomy and shaping. Thin-slice CT examination was performed at 2-3 weeks after operation, and was fitted with the preoperative virtual design scheme. The difference between the distance of bilateral mandibular angles relative to the reference plane in three-dimensional directions (left-right, vertical, and anterior-posterior) and the difference of the medial angle of the lower edge of the mandible reconstructed by fibula were measured, and the mean error of chromatographic fitting degree was calculated. RESULTS The guide plate and navigation were applied well, and the fibula shaping and positioning were accurate. The fibula muscle flap survived, the incision healed well, and the occlusal relationship was good. All 12 patients were followed up 1-29 months, with an average of 17 months. There was no significant difference on the distance of bilateral mandibular angles relative to the reference plane in the left-right [(-0.24±1.35) mm; t=-0.618, P=0.549], vertical [-0.85 (-1.35, 1.40) mm; Z=-0.079, P=0.937], and anterior-posterior [(-0.46±0.78) mm; t=-2.036, P=0.067] directions. The difference of the medial angle of the lower edge of the mandible reconstructed by fibula was also not significant [(-1.35±4.34)°; t=-1.081, P=0.303)]. Postoperative CT and preoperative virtual design fitting verified that there was no significant difference in the change of the mandibular angle on both sides, and the average error was (0.47±1.39) mm. CONCLUSION The personalized guide combined with intraoperative real-time navigation improves the accuracy of peroneal muscle flap reconstruction of the mandible, reduces the complications, and provides a preliminary basis for the application of visual intraoperative navigation in fibula muscle flap reconstruction of the mandible.

Abstract
In an 18-year-old boy, the middle segment of the mandible was removed because of a locally aggressive tumour. The reconstruction became infected and was lost, resulting in 2 separately-moving mandible parts and oral disability. For the second reconstruction, skeletal fixation with osteosynthesis plates, dental fixation with a stabilization frame and intermaxillary fixation were used. Preparation for returning the jaws to their original position was facilitated by three-dimensional simulation software. After a successful second reconstruction, an implant-supported removable bridge was eventually placed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the appropriate surgical approach for each type of maxillary ameloblastoma. METHODS The clinical data of 92 patients with maxillary ameloblastoma were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were pathologically diagnosed, followed up for 3-8 years after surgery, maxillofacial CT and panoramic images were taken regularly to observe the surgical outcomes. SPSS 22.0 software package was used for data analysis. RESULTS The proportion of maxillary ameloblastoma in male and female patients was 3 to 1,with more male patients and the mean age was 45.77 years old. The total recurrence rate of 92 patients was 21.74%, among which unicystic ameloblastoma had no recurrence after different surgical procedures. Among 38 patients with typical maxillary ameloblastoma, 14 underwent curettage, 3 underwent decompression,16 underwent extended resection, 3 underwent subtotal maxillary resection, 1 underwent iliac bone transplantation after subtotal maxillary resection, and 1 underwent reconstruction with anterolateral thigh flap after subtotal maxillary resection. Among them, 18 had recurrence and 5 had canceration. Three patients with extrasseous/peripheral type underwent expanded resection and two underwent curettage,none of them had recurrence. One patient with metastasizing ameloblastoma recurred after extended resection. CONCLUSIONS Maxillary ameloblastoma with unicystic type should be completely removed with minimal trauma. The recurrence rate of maxillary ameloblastoma via simple curettage or extended resection is still relatively high, which may be due to the large tumor involvement scope of these patients and the failure of complete tumor removal by curettage. For external/peripheral ameloblastoma and metastatic ameloblastoma, the involved jaw bone should be removed as much as possible to prevent recurrence. For malignant transformation of ameloblastoma, the tumor and jaw bone should be dissected during the operation to reduce recurrence rate. The primary site, cervical lymph nodes and lungs should be closely followed after operation to detect early metastasis.
