Piezoelectric surgery was first explained by French Jacques and Pierre Curie in 1880. Piezoelectric bone surgery is a novel osteotomy and osteoplasty technique invented by Professor Vercellotti in 1988 to overcome the limitations of traditional instrumentation in oral bone surgery by modifying and improving conventional ultrasound technology. The cutting action is the result of linear microvibrations, in amplitude between 30 and 200 μm that allow to obtain a micrometer precision in the range of 25-29 KHz modulated ultrasonic resonant frequency. Nerves, vessels, and soft tissue are preserved by the microvibrations (60 to 200 mm/sec), which are optimally adjusted to target only mineralized tissue. It is a minimally invasive osteotomy device to achieve unparallel precision, patient comfort, intra-operative sensitivity, intra-operative visibility, blood free surgical site and reduced damage to the surrounding soft tissues, osteocytes and important structures like nerves, muscles and mucosa. Also Piezosurgery is very useful in harvesting autogenous bone for regenerating periodontal defects. Various treatment modalities are based on removal of etiologic factors and preserving bone architecture. Recently this novel surgical approach has gained popularity in various fields of dental implantology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, and orthopedics. This article aims to review the clinical calibre of piezosurgery in the field of periodontology and implant dentistry.

Introduction: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse reaction of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic agents. Management of MRONJ has remained a controversial topic within the oral and maxillofacial surgery community. Methods: Articles from 2010 to 2020 were selected. We determined that all review studies evaluated the effectiveness of various MRONJ therapies to resolve the condition were eligible for this study. We determined that all review studies evaluated the effectiveness of various MRONJ therapies to resolve the condition were eligible for this study. Results: Antibiotic therapy such as penicillin-based antibiotics plus β-lactamase inhibitor or metronidazole could decrease disease progression and may prevent super infection of the bone. Surgery should be considered in all stages of MRONJ as it confirms the histology. fluorescence-guided surgery is helpful for MRONJ cases under Denosumab and it is recommended to use Low Level Laser and PDT as adjuvant treatment of MRONJ. Conclusion: It seems that conservative treatment, minimally traumatic extraction technique, removal of bone edges and mucosal wound closure may prevent the occurrence of MRONJ

Aesthetic Dentistry

One of the main goals of dental treatment is to mimic teeth and design smiles in a most natural and aesthetic manner, based on the individual and specific needs of the patient. Possibilities to reach that goal have significantly improved over the last decade through new and specific treatment modalities, steadily enhanced and more aesthetic dental materials, and novel techniques and technologies. This article gives an overview of the evolution of aesthetic dentistry over the past 100 y from a historical point of view and highlights advances in the development of dental research and clinical interventions that have contributed the science and art of aesthetic dentistry. Among the most noteworthy advancements over the past decade are the establishment of universal aesthetic rules and guidelines based on the assessment of natural aesthetic parameters, anatomy, and physiognomy; the development of tooth whitening and advanced restorative as well as prosthetic materials and techniques, supported by the pioneering discovery of dental adhesion; the significant progress in orthodontics and periodontal as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery; and, most recently, the implementation of digital technologies in the 3-dimensional planning and realization of truly natural, individual, and aesthetic smiles. In the future, artificial intelligence and machine learning will likely lead to automation of aesthetic evaluation, smile design, and treatment-planning processes.

Platelet concentrates, mostly represented by platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin, have gained significant interest in various medical and oral disciplines because of their potential to stimulate and boost regeneration of hard and soft tissues. Prepared from the patient’s own blood, they have been tested and used in various different surgical fields including oral and maxillofacial surgery. The effects of these biomaterials are described to be a result of the large concentration of platelets which contain a wide range of growth factors. The aim of this article is to introduce the principle and function of these platelet concentrates, to review their preparation, and to provide a comprehensive examination of the published oral and maxillofacial literature on this subject.

Tibial Bone

Autogenous bone grafts are the gold standard for reconstruction of atrophic jaws, pseudoarthroses, alveolar clefts, orthognathic surgery, mandibular discontinuity, and augmentation of sinus maxillary. Bone graft can be harvested from iliac bone, calvarium, tibial bone, rib, and intraoral bone. Proximal tibia is a common donor site with few reported problems compared with other sites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of proximal tibia as a donor area for maxillofacial reconstructions, focusing on quantifying the volume of cancellous graft harvested by a lateral approach and to assess the complications of this technique. In a retrospective study, we collected data from 31 patients, 18 women and 13 men (mean age: 36 years, range: 19–64), who were referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Servidores do Estado Federal Hospital. Patients were treated for sequelae of orthognathic surgery, jaw fracture, nonunion, malunion, pathology, and augmentation of bone volume to oral implant. The technique of choice was lateral access of proximal tibia metaphysis for graft removal from Gerdy tubercle under general anesthesia. The mean volume of bone harvested was 13.0 ± 3.7 mL (ranged: 8–23 mL). Only five patients (16%) had minor complications, which included superficial infection, pain, suture dehiscence, and unwanted scar. However, none of these complications decreases the result and resolved completely. We conclude that proximal tibia metaphysis for harvesting cancellous bone graft provides sufficient volume for procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery with minimal postoperative morbidity.

Abstract Objective: To compare open reduction with internal fixation of mandibular subcondylar fracture with closed reduction in terms of adequate mouth opening. Method: The randomised clinical trial was conducted from March 2014 to February 2015 at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, King Edward Medical University and Allied Hospitals, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised patients who presented with unilateral subcondylar fractures. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group-A patients were treated with closed reduction and immobilisation and were discharged the same day, while Group-B patients were treated by open reduction with internal fixation and retained in ward for 1 day. Both were recalled for periodic follow-ups, and were compared in terms of achieving adequate mouth opening. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. Results: Of the 70 patients, 35(50%) were in each of the two groups. The mean age in Group-A was 28.88±11.86 years compared to 28.22±10.80 years in Group-B (p>0.05). Mean mouth opening in  the two groups were consistently positive, and significant at the last two follow-ups(p<0.001). Conclusion: The difference in results of both treatment modalities was significant, indicating that open reduction and internal fixation should be the preferred treatment. Key Words: Mandibular sub-condylar fracture, Open reduction, Closed reduction, Internal fixation, Mouth opening.

Clinical Records

Maxillofacial trauma is any physical trauma to the facial region, commonly encountered by maxillofacial surgeons, and is often associated with high morbidity and so constitute quite a significant portion of the workload of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Maxillofacial injuries can occur as an isolated injury or may be associated with multiple injuries in other parts of the body. To assess the patterns, etiology, and treatment modalities of maxillofacial trauma in a teaching hospital in central India, over a 12-year period. Patients with maxillofacial trauma were identified using the department database and clinical records. 264 patients were identified with maxillofacial trauma in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery between January 2006 and December 2018. The study showed that there was a male preponderance in all age groups over female. Of the 264 patients with maxillofacial injuries, 83,33% had isolated lower face (mandibular) fractures, followed by midface fractures (10.60%) and panfacial fractures (6.06%). Road traffic accidents (87.12%) were the most common form of etiology for trauma followed by assaults (10.98%). Most trauma were treated with open reduction internal fixation (89%) than closed reduction (11%). The etiology and pattern of maxillofacial injuries reflect the trauma patterns within the community and can thus provide a guide to help design programs toward prevention and treatment.

Sinus Floor

The autogenous bone graft, still the golden standard in oral and maxillofacial surgery, needs a second side surgery. As an alternative, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP-2 and BMP-7) have been searched in pre-clinical and clinical studies, specifically in sinus augmentation. A comparison of the aforementioned studies revealed very different results, also due to variations in study model. The available data on use of rhBMP-2 and 7 are promising in showing an osteoinductive potential in sinus augmentation, but not conclusive in the predictability and consistency results to allow clinical use in this stage, other than in well designed clinical trials.
