Introducción: Existen complicaciones tempranas y tardías derivadas de cualquier procedimiento quirúrgico; la Rinoplastia, no es una excepción a esta regla; existen complicaciones intraoperatorias, en el postoperatorio inmediato, a mediano y a largo plazo, que pueden afectar tanto la parte estética como la funcional. Objetivo: Presentar un reporte de caso donde se evidencian importantes complicaciones de la rinoplastia y describir la técnica quirúrgica empleada para la reconstrucción del vestíbulo nasal, identificando casos parecidos en la literatura. Diseño: Reporte de caso. Materiales y métodos: Se presenta un caso de una paciente de 62 años con estenosis vestibular bilateral y deformidad nasal posterior a dos rinoplastias y unainfección postoperatoria, con compromiso funcional y estético. En búsqueda de consejería, esta paciente fue presentada en varios congresos internacionales, sin embargo, no se recomendaba intervención. Adicionalmente se presenta una técnica quirúrgica para reconstrucción del vestíbulo nasal usando un injerto libre de piel. Se presentan fotografías del pre-operatorio, la intervención quirúrgica y los resultados del postoperatorio. Resultados: A la fecha, la paciente se encuentra satisfecha y sin secuelas de la intervención o compromiso funcional. Conclusiones: Nuestra técnicaquirúrgica, aparte de mantener el contorno de la narina debido al uso de stent nasal,  permite reducir la formación de tejido de cicatrización y la contracción de la herida por parte de los miofibroblastos mediante el injerto libre de piel. Consideramos que esta técnica es reproducible para el manejo de este tipo de complicaciones. Introduction: There are early and late complications arising from any surgical procedure; rhinoplasty is not an exception to this rule, there are intraoperative complications in the immediate postoperative period, medium and long term, which can affect both the aesthetic and functional aspects. Objective: To present a case report where some major complications of rhinoplasty are shown and to describe the surgical technique used for nasal vestibule reconstruction, identifying similar cases pubished in the literature. Design: Case report. Material and methods: We present the case of a 62 year old patient with bilateral vestibular stenosis and nasal deformitysecondary to two rhinoplasties and a postoperative infection. Seeking counseling, this patient was presented at several international conferences, however, no intervention was recommended. Additionally a surgical technique for reconstruction of the nasal vestibule using a free skin graft. Photographs before, during and after surgery are presented. Results: To date, the patient is satisfied without sequelae from the intervention or functional compromise. Conclusions: Our surgical technique, apartfrom maintaining the outline of the nostril due to the use of nasal stent, decreases the formation of scar tissue and wound contraction by myofibroblasts by free skin flap. We believe that this technique is reproducible for the management of these complications.

Objective. For obtaining the perfect balance of a removable complete denture, we have a few clinical procedures to complete, but only the analysis of the occlusal load distribution at various vertical dimensions of occlusion can give us the precise data. Method. The patient selected for this case report was a 35 years old edentulous female who requested prosthetic treatment with complete removable dentures. We followed the usual clinical steps of obtaining an acrylic denture, as well as the T-Scan III analysis during the jaw registration, in different conditions: with the occlusal wax rims, and with the trial denture in the next step, registering three different occlusal vertical dimension – understated, overstated and ideal height. Using these dimensions, we realized four mock-ups, two at the proper vertical dimensions, with various types of tooth color and shape. We analyzed the mock-ups using the T-scan III system. After the dental prosthesis was manufactured, we made another measurement with the T-scan III system. Results. After analyzing all the data from the T-scan III system, we distinguished that the most suitable solution for the patient was the proper dimension mock-up with D2 shade. Conclusions. Although the registered situations were satisfactory, the aesthetic issues are essential, and the functional aspects are fundamental, the most suitable solution in this case, was the mock-up with proper dimensions.

Implant-supported prosthodontic rehabilitation of total edentulism remains the most complex restorative challenges. The main reason being the number of variables that affect both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the prosthesis. A hybrid denture or the ‘Toronto prosthesis’ is one that is fabricated over a metal framework and retained by screws threaded into implants. This article presents the fabrication of implant-retained maxillary Equator® attachment overdenture opposing mandibular implant-retained hybrid prosthesis. A total of four implants (Equinox® Myriad plus) were placed the maxillary arch and six implants (Equinox® Myriad plus) in the mandibular arch. The patient's occlusal vertical dimension, centric relation, aesthetics and phonetics were determined and maintained throughout the restorative process. This case report describes the management of a completely edentulous patient with a mandibular implant-supported fixed prosthesis and maxillary implant-retained overdenture with Equator® attachment.

A healthy and beautiful smile can affect appearance and confidence. One of the aesthetic problems in dentistry that is often complained of by patients is excessive gingival display (gummy smile). The excessive gingival display can be caused by several factors, one of which is altered passive eruption (APE). One of the treatments to correct gummy smile related to APE is crown lengthening. Crown lengthening can be with bone reduction (gingivectomy with bone reduction) or without bone reduction (gingivectomy). Crown Lengthening with bone reduction is a surgical procedure that aims to maintain the dentogingival complex and to improve smile aesthetics. The purpose of this case report is to determine the crown lengthening with bone reduction (gingivectomy with bone reduction) procedure as a gummy smile treatment related to APE .A23-year-old female patient, came to Dental Hospital of Universitas Airlangga with complaints of her upper gum which not in the same length and the teeth looked short, she considered her smile was less aesthetic. After conducting analyses relating to aesthetics and periodontal tissue, crown lengthening with bone reduction was chosen for this patient treatment. The treatment results are quite good, visible gingival margins that matched the gingival zenith and improved patient's smile profile. APE as the etiology of patient's gummy smile can be corrected. There are no post-surgical complications such as excessive pain and infection. A proper diagnosis, treatment plan, and good techniques can produce a harmonious smile on the patient.

Background: Large frontoencephaloceles, more common in low and middle-income countries, require complex reconstruction of cerebral herniation, elongated nose, telecanthus, and cephalic frontal bone rotation. Previously described techniques involve multiple osteotomies, often fail to address cephalad brow rotation, and have high complication rates including up to 35% mortality. This study presents a novel, modified, single-staged technique for frontoencephalocele reconstruction performed by Mercy Ships. This technique, which addresses functional and aesthetic concerns with minimal osteotomies, may help improve outcomes in low resources settings. Methods: Retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent frontoencephalocele reconstruction through Mercy Ships using the technique described. Patient data including country, age, gender, associated diagnoses, and prior interventions were reviewed. Intraoperative and post-operative complications were recorded. Results: Eight patients with frontoencephalocele (ages 4-14 years) underwent surgery with the novel technique in 4 countries. Average surgical time was 6.0 ± 0.9 hours. No intraoperative complications occurred. Post-operatively 1 patient experienced lumbar drain dislodgement requiring replacement and a second had early post-operative fall requiring reoperation for hardware replacement. In person follow-up to 2.4 months showed no additional complications. Follow-up via phone at 1 to 2 years post-op revealed all patients who be satisfied with surgical outcomes. Conclusions: Reconstruction of large frontoencephaloceles can be challenging due to the need for functional closure of the defect and craniofacial reconstruction to correct medial hypertelorism, long nose deformity, and cephalad forehead rotation. The novel surgical technique presented in this paper allows for reliable reconstruction of functional and aesthetic needs with simplified incision design, osteotomies, and bandeau manipulation.

The prevalence of dentoalveolar injuries in children is approximately 25%, with falls from own height being one of the main etiologies. Diagnosis is based on the clinical evaluation associated with complementary imaging tests. The treatment of choice depends on the type of damage and structure affected. For alveolar process fractures, closed reduction and semi-rigid dental splinting for 4 to 6 weeks is generally satisfactory. However, some cases, such as severe segmental fractures, require open treatment to ensure adequate reduction and stabilization of the displaced alveolar segment, which is usually achieved by titanium miniplates and screws. Nevertheless, there are situations where this type of fixation is not possible, requiring alternative methods. Therefore, this article describes a surgical technique performed by open reduction, associating semi-rigid dental splint and circummandibular wiring in pediatric patient diagnosed with dentoalveolar fracture through clinical examination (with bone fracture displacement) and tomography. The technique promoted a good prognostic to the patient, proving to be a viable alternative for treating dentoalveolar fractures.
