We describe one case of the rehabilitation for large mandibular defect by the combined application of internal curvilinear and linear distraction osteogenesis. In the first operation, the transport discs were produced on both sides of the defect. The internal curvilinear and linear distraction were then performed Three months later, the defect was reduced by half, then in the second operation, the internal linear distraction osteogenesis bilateral to the residual defect was started. Another three months later, the newly-formed bone was evident in the distraction gaps, then in the third operation, the distracted transport bony discs were connected by a small local bone graft. By the steps, the 70 mm defect was reconstructed. This might be a practical way for the synchronous reconstruction of bony and soft tissue for large mandibular defects that do not require bone grafts from other anatomic areas.

Head and neck cancer is the fastest accelerating cancer. Radiotherapy is commonly used to treat head and neck cancer. Whilst radiotherapy is an effective treatment modality for head and neck cancer, it is associated with significant early and late side effects which impact on the quality of life of patients. The late side effects of radiotherapy (depending on the volume and dose) may cause irreversible problems such as dysphagia, xerostomia, dental decay, and osteoradionecrosis.
We performed a retrospective analysis of head and neck cancer cases treated with radiotherapy at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust, UK. The aim of this process was to perform an exploratory analysis into the potential risk factors for osteoradionecrosis, focussing on risk factors that would be identifiable at a pre-radiotherapy dental screening appointments. This methodology was not utilised to determine statistically significant correlations, but to inform future studies which may involve regression analysis, and subsequent risk prediction.
Our study confirms findings from previous studies suggesting that variables such as the timing of pre-radiotherapy extractions, the number of pre-radiotherapy extractions, and the smoking status of the patient may increase the risk of osteoradionecrosis. We found new potential risk factors which require further investigation, including the presence of dental pathology on the pre-treatment PET-CT. This novel finding may provide further indication of the patient specific risk for osteoradionecrosis.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, surgical techniques have greatly improved to provide more effective surgical treatment, minimise transoperative time, and restore function. When it comes to facial fractures, it is extremely important to minimise complications, such as facial nerve damage and scarring. The aim of this article was to address the main analyses of the types of condylar fractures and surgical approaches, providing the reader with existing possibilities to help them choose an approach which is effective and reduces the risk of complications.

Objective
Implant placement in atrophic mandibles can be challenging due to insufficient bone volume. To overcome this problem, bone grafts are often required to increase bone volume and provide a stable base for the implant. However, bone grafting procedures can be invasive, time-consuming, and costly. Tilted implants are a viable option to bypass the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and increase the contact surface and primary stability.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of tilted implants in posterior atrophic mandible and complications related to injury of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN).
Methods
Accepted patients in this study were only those who suffered from teeth loss in the posterior atrophic mandible. The analysis of this study focused on tilted implants to investigate the survival rate following insertion and during the loading stage. Clinical assessment was conducted to analyze any occurrences of IAN injury.
Results
A total of 31 implants were placed in the posterior mandible of 26 patients with insufficient bone volume. Over a 36-month observation period, all implants exhibited a 100 % survival rate. Three patients experienced temporary neurosensory disturbances.
Conclusions
The use of tilted implants is a viable option for patients with atrophic edentulous mandible that lack the required alveolar height for traditional dental implants. Despite limited study observation time, bypassing the IAN during implant placement presents a predictable option for atrophic posterior mandible treatment.

Salivary gland carcinosarcomas contain both malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements making them a true malignant mixed tumour. They may arise ‘de novo’ or from an existing pleomorphic adenoma and are often difficult to diagnose histologically. Management is by means of radical surgery, but prognosis remains poor. We present a case of this rare tumour seen in a young patient to highlight its aggressive potential.

The objective was to examine the social impacts of treatment and rehabilitation on patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Following a comprehensive search of OVID (Embase, Medline, Pubmed, PsycINFO) and Web of Science, the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was used to assess the methodological quality of all included studies. The findings were reported using Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. From 14,661 papers identified, 46 were eligible for inclusion of which 25 were quantitative, 14 qualitative and 7 mixed methods. Most papers focussed on the theme of eating and swallowing impacts (n = 16), with the next most frequent group using general quality-of-life measures (n = 11). Methodological inadequacy concerned small sample sizes and relatively short follow-up times. Qualitative studies revealed a wide range of social impacts which affect patients relating to the cancer, therapeutic education, and the negative impact of treatment side effects over time. The literature suggests that HNC patients experience a range of social impacts linked to identity, relationships, activities undertaken, and cultural issues. This review concludes that more in-depth larger scale prospective research as well as qualitative research is urgently needed to ascertain how to optimize care for HNC patients.

Horizontally impacted mandibular molars are not uncommon. However, we report a rare case of a horizontally impacted stacked second and third mandibular molar. This paper presents adaption of the principles of surgical exodontia to account for rare variations in abnormal anatomy and a review of the literature, weighing up the balance between orthodontic intervention and surgical removal. Successful removal depends on careful surgical planning and respect for the surrounding anatomical structures whilst following the principles of surgical exodontia.

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) are fibrovascular tumors of the nasopharynx. These tumors are very vascular and non-encapsulated and predominantly affect young males aged 14–25 years. Clinically, JNA presents with unilateral nasal obstruction and recurrent epistaxis. Advanced instances may result in proptosis, cranial neuropathy, facial edema, and potentially fatal bleeding. The tumors exhibit local invasiveness which can extend intracranially. In this study, we reviewed two cases of extensive nasopharyngeal angiofibroma treated at our institute using the maxillary swing technique. The surgical approach was chosen based on tumor extent, blood supply, and the presence or absence of intracranial extension. Preoperatively, patients underwent tracheostomy and embolization. Both patients underwent successful surgical excision via the maxillary swing approach. We report the anticipated complications, their management, and the outcomes of these cases. Long-term follow-up revealed no recurrence, and both patients regained normal nasal function.

Salivary gland tumors account for 3 %–10 % of head and neck neoplasms. The aim of the study is to analyze demographic, clinical, and histopathological characteristics of salivary gland tumors.
Materials and methods
A five year retrospective analysis of surgically excised salivary gland tumor specimens was conducted. Data on demographics, clinical features, and histopathology were reviewed and statistically analyzed using descriptive and inferential methods.
Results
A total of 55,000 specimens were received; of these, 0.12 % was diagnosed as salivary gland tumors, with a male to female ratio of 1.1:1. Of the tumors, 85.1 % were benign and 14.9 % were malignant neoplasms, with the most common tumors being pleomorphic adenoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma respectively. Benign tumors generally had a slower onset and were more encapsulated, while malignant tumors showed faster growth and were less encapsulated.
Conclusion
This study enhances understanding of salivary gland tumors, highlighting benign predominance, gender disparities, and key histopathological features for diagnosis and treatment.
