Abstract
In recent years, the field of mandibular reconstruction has made great strides in terms of hardware innovations and their clinical applications. There has been considerable interest in using computer-aided design, finite element modelling, and additive manufacturing techniques to build patient-specific surgical implants. Moreover, lattice implants can mimic mandibular bone's mechanical and structural properties. This article reviews current approaches for mandibular reconstruction, their applications, and their drawbacks. Then, we discuss the potential of mandibular devices with lattice structures, their development and applications, and the challenges for their use in clinical settings.

Abstract
The authors present a unique case of osteonecrosis of a cortical half of a fibula free flap that has not been reported in the literature yet. This complication was associated with the impairment of the vascularization of periosteum in the cortical half of fibula that was fixated with a nonlocking reconstructive 2.0-mm plate and screws but other factors could have been involved. The patient was submitted to excision of a cemento-ossifying fibroma that resulted in a left hemimaxilectomy mesoinfrastructure defect classified as the Cordeiro type 2B. The 42-year-old female patient was submitted to reconstruction with an osteomusculocutaneous fibula free flap plus a segment of fibula graft. The two bone segments of the free flap used to reconstruct the anterior and left alveolar crest were fixated with a reconstructive 2.0-mm plate of matrixMANDIBLE system. The only reported complication was an oronasal fistula that healed with conservative treatment and the referred osteonecrosis of the external cortical half of the fibula free flap with plate exposure at 2.5 years postoperatively. Surgical excision of the osteonecrosed cortical half of the fibula with the plate and screws was performed, while the other cortical underwent bone union as corroborated by computed tomography scans.

Sequential treatment from mandibulectomy to reconstruction on mandibular oral cancer - Case review II: mandibular anterior and the floor of the mouth lesion of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma and clear cell odontogenic carcinoma. J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 47:216-223. [PMID: 34187962 PMCID: PMC8249190 DOI: 10.5125/jkaoms.2021.47.3.216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Preoperative patient analysis for oral cancer involves multiple considerations that are based on multiple factors; these include TNM stages, histopathologic findings, and adjacent anatomical structures. Once the decision is made to excise the lesion, the margin of dissection and its extent should be considered along with the best form of reconstruction and airway management. Treatment methods include surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Although the combined method of treatment is controversial, surgical resection is considered predominantly, and immediate reconstruction after surgical resection follows. The choice of treatment is dictated by the anticipated functional and esthetic results of treatment and also by the availability of a surgeon with the required expertise. Segmental mandibulectomy with primary reconstruction has been shown to have advantages in both functional and esthetic results. A 52-year-old male patient with basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth, and the anterior portion of the mandible was treated with surgical procedures that included segmental mandibulectomy with both supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOHND) at Levels I–III and mandible reconstruction with a left fibula free flap. A 55-year-old male patient with clear cell odontogenic carcinoma of the oral cavity underwent segmental mandibulectomy with both SOHND at Levels I–III and mandible reconstruction with a left fibula free flap. The purpose of this study was to review the anatomic and functional results of patients after immediate reconstruction with a fibula free flap following resection of carcinoma in the anterior portion of the mandible and floor of the mouth.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study proposed to determine the superiority between locking plate and nonlocking miniplate for mandibular fractures (MFs) treatment. METHODS A comprehensive electronic search examining Medline-Ovid, Embase, and PubMed databases language without date was performed in February 2018. Inclusion criteria were studies in humans, including randomized controlled trials, controlled clinical trials, with the aim of comparing the 2 techniques. The quality of studies was assessed, and the relative risk (RR) with its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was assessed to measure the effect size. RESULTS Thirteen publications were enrolled into the analysis. The results showed that there were significant differences in overall complications (RR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.351-1.094; P = 0.06), postoperative infection (RR, 0.503, 95% CI, 0.223-1.136) when comparing locking miniplates with nonlocking miniplates in treating mandible fractures. The incidence of malocclusion showed a statistically significant difference in the outcome favoring locking miniplates (fixed: RR, 0.503; 95% CI, 0.125-2.030; P = 0.06). In addition, the use of locking miniplates had a lower postoperative maxillomandibular fixation rate than the use of nonlocking miniplates (RR, 0.414; 95% CI, 0.196-0.872; P = 0.002). CONCLUSION The result of meta-analysis revealed that use of locking plate is superior to the nonlocking plate in the reducing of postoperative complication rates in the management of MFs.

Abstract
We have tested titanium (Ti) plates that are used for bone reconstruction in maxillofacial surgery, in combination with five types of novel long-resorbable biomaterials: (i) PCL₀-polycaprolactone without additives, (ii) PCLMWCNT-polycaprolactone with the addition of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), (iii) PCLOH-polycaprolactone doped with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) containing ⁻OH hydroxyl groups, (iv) PCLCOOH-polycaprolactone with the addition of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) containing carboxyl groups, and (v) PCLTI-polycaprolactone with the addition of Ti nanoparticles. The structure and properties of the obtained materials have been examined with the use of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and/or X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Titanium BR plates have been covered with: (i) PCL₀ fibers (PCL0BR-connection plates), (ii) PCLMWCNT fibers (PCLMWCNTBR-plates), (iii) PCLOH fibers (PCLOHBR-plates), (iv) PCLCOOH (PCLCOOHBR-plates), (v) PCLTI fiber (PCLTIBR-connection plates). Such modified titanium plates were exposed to X-ray doses corresponding to those applied in head and neck tumor treatment. The potential leaching of toxic materials upon the irradiation of such modified titanium plates, and their effect on normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) have been assessed by MTT assay. The presented results show variable biological responses depending on the modifications to titanium plates.

Abstract
A retrospective study was conducted to compare the clinical outcomes of three different types of hardware that are used in mandibular angle fracture fixation. Thirty patients were selected from the hospital database. The patients were categorized into the following groups: group A, in which a single 2.0-mm locking miniplate was used; group B, in which a single rigid 2.3-mm plate was used; and group C, in which a single lag screw was inserted. All patients were followed for 6 months. With regard to intraoperative variables, significant differences were found among the groups in the duration of surgery and cost. Group C had the shortest surgical time, followed by group A and then group B. Two patients, one in group A and one in group B, suffered an occlusal discrepancy after surgery. Of the group A patients, two exhibited wound dehiscence and one had an infection. One patient in group B had an exposed plate. Sensory nerve involvement was noted in three group C patients and one group B patient. The lag screw was associated with the fewest complications and exhibited all of the advantages of plating systems in the treatment of angle fracture. The lag screw involved the least hardware and a short operating time, however the differences were not significant.

Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the oral cavity, and it accounts for about 90% of all oral cancers. Several risk factors for oral SCC have been identified; however, SCC associated with odontogenic keratocysts have rarely been reported. The present study describes the case of a 36-year-old man with SCC of the right ramus of the mandible, which was initially diagnosed as a benign odontogenic cyst. He underwent enucleation at another hospital followed by segmental mandibulectomy and fibular free flap reconstruction at our institution. In this case, we introduce a patient with oral cancer associated with odontogenic cyst on the mandible and report a satisfactory outcome with wide resection and immediate free flap reconstruction.
