Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (mucopolysaccharidoses VI) is a rare genetic disease results in functional deficiency of arylsulfatase B and accumulation of dermatan sulfate within lysosomes in various tissues. Here we present an 8-year-old male who was referred for treatment of limited mouth opening. The patient had been diagnosed with mucopolysaccharidoses VI at age of 6 months. He had received bone marrow transplantation at age of 3.5 years, developed graft-versus-host disease and subsequent vitiligo-like changes. The patient presented with short stature, and some skeletal anomalies. In radiographic images bilateral hyperplasia of the coronoid process, underdeveloped condyles, and dentigerous cyst-like follicles in the jaws were noted. Bilateral coronoidectomy was performed to improve the maximum opening of the mouth. Post-op follow-up examinations in 5 years showed moderate improvement. Abnormal coronoid and condylar processes are unusual in MPS VI. Proper management is needed to improve patients’ oral and general health for the remainder of their lives.
Maroteaux-Lamy 综合征(粘多糖病 VI)是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,会导致芳基硫酸酯酶 B 功能性缺乏,并在各种组织的溶酶体中积累硫酸皮质酯。我们在此介绍一名因张口受限而转诊治疗的 8 岁男性患者。患者在 6 个月大时被诊断出患有粘多糖病 VI。他在 3.5 岁时接受了骨髓移植,后来患上了移植物抗宿主病,并出现了白癜风样改变。患者表现为身材矮小和一些骨骼异常。放射影像显示,患者双侧冠状突增生,髁状突发育不全,下颌有齿状囊肿样滤泡。为了改善口腔的最大张开度,医生对他进行了双侧冠状突切除术。术后5年的随访检查显示病情有适度改善。冠状突和髁突异常在 MPS VI 中并不常见。需要进行适当的治疗,以改善患者余生的口腔和全身健康状况。

Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) is a rare but potentially fatal adverse event caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. We report a case of t-MDS diagnosed 8 months after radiotherapy for recurrent carcinoma of the floor of the mouth and cervical lymph node metastases after surgical treatment. A 74-year-old man visited our department with the chief complaint of pain in the lower part of the tongue. Tumor resection and right radical neck dissection (RND) were performed based on the diagnosis of carcinoma of the floor of the mouth (cT1N2bM0). A computed tomography scan at 10 months postoperatively showed metastatic lymph nodes in the left neck, right hyoid bone, right parotid subpolar, and anterior trachea. Therefore, the patient underwent left RND and excision of the right hyoid bone, subpolar right parotid and anterior tracheal metastatic lymph nodes. Postoperative radiation therapy (70 Gy) was administered to the neck bilaterally. An upper gastrointestinal examination revealed a carcinoma in situ in the lower esophagus, and endoscopic submucosal dissection of the esophagus was performed. He had pancytopenia preoperatively, which progressed postoperatively; therefore, a bone marrow examination was performed to rule out a hematological malignancy. Bone marrow smear and flow cytometric analyses indicated the development of t-MDS. He received supportive transfusion therapy but died 8 months after the diagnosis of t-MDS. During post-treatment follow-up, clinicians should be aware of t-MSD, in addition to cancer recurrence and metastasis.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement without reduction, often referred to as closed lock, is a debilitating condition characterized by a sudden decrease in mouth opening capacity, accompanied by TMJ pain. Over time, this closed lock can lead to the development of TMJ osteoarthritis (OA). While conservative treatments effectively alleviate TMJ pain and improve jaw function in most patients, they seldom restore normal TMJ structures. In this case report, we present a rare case of a 39-year-old woman who experienced the restoration of a normal disc-condyle-mandibular fossa relationship and the repair of OA changes following self-care for chronic TMJ closed lock with OA. She initially presented with a 7-month history of left TMJ pain and limited mouth opening persisting. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the left TMJ showed anterior disc displacement without reduction and OA changes including erosion, subchondral cyst, and sclerosis of the subchondral bone in the left condyle. Self-care, including parafunction control and stretching exercises, relieved the TMJ pain and increased the range of mouth opening. A follow-up MRI obtained 13 months following the initial MRI revealed a normal disc-condyle-mandibular fossa relationship and repair of the surface erosion with the subchondral cyst. Our clinical findings indicate that although rare, restoration of the normal disc-condyle-mandibular fossa relationship and condylar repair are possible through self-care for chronic closed lock with OA.
颞下颌关节(TMJ)椎间盘移位而不缩小,通常被称为闭锁,是一种使人衰弱的病症,其特点是张口能力突然下降,并伴有颞下颌关节疼痛。随着时间的推移,闭锁可导致颞下颌关节骨关节炎(OA)的发展。虽然保守治疗能有效缓解大多数患者的颞下颌关节疼痛并改善下颌功能,但很少能恢复正常的颞下颌关节结构。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一例罕见的病例,患者是一名 39 岁的女性,她在对伴有 OA 的慢性颞下颌关节闭锁进行自我护理后,椎间盘-髁状突-下颌窝关系恢复正常,OA 病变也得到修复。她最初因左侧颞下颌关节疼痛和张口受限持续 7 个月而就诊。左侧颞下颌关节的磁共振成像(MRI)显示椎间盘前移位,但未缩小,OA 病变包括侵蚀、软骨下囊肿和左侧髁突软骨下骨硬化。包括副功能控制和伸展运动在内的自我护理缓解了颞下颌关节疼痛,并增加了张口范围。在初次核磁共振成像检查后 13 个月进行的后续核磁共振成像检查显示,椎间盘-髁状突-下颌窝关系正常,软骨下囊肿的表面侵蚀得到修复。我们的临床研究结果表明,对于患有 OA 的慢性闭锁患者来说,通过自我护理恢复正常的椎间盘-髁突-下颌窝关系和髁突修复是可能的,尽管这种情况很少见。

Objective
The treatment of condylar fractures can have significant morbidity. The purpose of this study is to suggest the safest approach by comparing endoscope-assisted and open surgery.
Methods
A case-series study was conducted in the Maxillo-Facial Surgery Unit of the Federico II University of Naples from January 2016 to January 2022 on 34 patients who underwent surgery for condylar fracture. Thirty patients met the inclusion criteria. They were divided into two groups according to the surgical technique used: Group A, made up of 15 patients treated by endoscope-assisted surgery; Group B made up of 15 patients treated by traditional non-endoscope-assisted surgery.
Results
The most common complication was transient facial nerve palsy, observed in group B in 4 patients (26%) and in only 2 patients in Group A (13%). Permanent facial nerve palsy occurred in 2 patients (13%) in Group B. No permanent facial nerve palsy was observed in Group A. No plates infection occurred in Group A, 1 case (7%) was recorded in Group B.
Conclusions
From our experience we can consider endoscope-assisted surgery a favorable option for treating condyle fractures. Patients’ selection for transoral endoscope-assisted surgery is extremely important to ensure the best surgical results with the less complications score.

Trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma (TJOF) is a rare benign fibro-osseous tumor that may develop in the craniofacial bones at an early age. To the best of our knowledge, there is no published case of bilateral monostotic TJOF in the literature. The aim of this study was to report the surgical treatment of a rare case of bilateral mandibular TJOF in an adolescent. A 13-year-old male patient presented with no symptoms other than a slight increase in volume in the lower right facial region. Tomographic examination revealed well-defined hypodense areas, hyperdense islands, and expansion of the involved bone cortices in the posterior mandible bilaterally. After histological and immunohistochemical analysis, the diagnosis was TJOF. Using a rapid prototyping biomodel, enucleation combined with curettage and peripheral osteotomy of the tumors was performed, followed by the placement of a reconstruction plate and screws. After one year, there was a recurrence on the left side, which was treated again with curettage and peripheral osteotomy. The patient is currently under follow-up for 24 months with a favorable prognosis. Despite its aggressive potential and risk of recurrence, an individualized surgical plan should be developed. A conservative approach should be the preferred treatment, aiming to minimize deformation and functional impairment.

Idiopathic Osteosclerosis/dense bone island/enostosis is defined as an asymptomatic, non-expansible, radiopaque lesion in the jawbone. It is classified on the basis of location and is diagnosed incidentally in most cases. Orthodontic treatment is usually delayed when the lesion is present in proximity to the tooth roots. Since its introduction in 2009, Surgery First Orthognathic Approach (SFOA) has been popular for facilitating faster overall treatment time through Frost’s biological theory as well as improving patient comfort. We report a case wherein osteosclerosis of mandible was observed in the premolar region bilaterally. Considering potential complications during pre-orthodontics, we opted for surgery driven SFOA which was then followed by orthodontic treatment. Post-operative orthodontic treatment was completed 11 months after surgery. Surgery driven SFOA allowed for reduction of total treatment duration by enabling faster anterior teeth retraction, space closure and achievement of the preferred facial feature with desired occlusion.

A true aneurysm is a dilation of the arterial wall that preserves vessel continuity, retains three layers (intima, media, and adventitia), and commonly occurs in the aorta, including the thoracic and abdominal aorta. In contrast, true aneurysms of the external carotid artery and its branches are rare. Among several therapeutic options for true aneurysms, catheter-based embolization is the traditional treatment method. However, parent artery occlusion may not always result in permanent exclusion of the aneurysm from the systemic circulation. Dilation of the vasa vasorum is one of the mechanisms of occlusion recanalization. Herein, we present a rare case of a true aneurysm of the facial artery aneurysm. The patient underwent coil embolization as the initial treatment. Subsequently, surgical resection was performed due to aneurysm regrowth caused by vasa vasorum dilation. Although embolization is a useful and safe treatment option for facial aneurysms, careful follow-up radiological examinations are required because of the possibility of regrowth.

Objective
Dental implants are widely accepted in the dental community. Although several studies have reported high dental implant survival rates, complications can still occur. Implant failure is associated with different risk factors, including implant length and diameter. However, no clear consensus has yet been reached. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different risk factors associated with implant failure.
Methods
This study included patients who received dental implants at Kyoto University Hospital. The inclusion criteria were dental implants placed between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2022. Data on patient- and implant-related variables were collected. We used a marginal Cox proportional hazards models to investigate the association between the potential factors and implant failure.
Results
This study included 147 patients who received 479 dental implants. Eleven of the 147 patients experienced implant failure, whereas 17 of the 479 implants failed. The cumulative survival rate of dental implants at the final time point was 95.3%. Multivariable marginal Cox analysis showed suggestive evidence that implant length (<10 mm) greatly increased the risk of implant failure compared with implant length (≥10 mm) (reference: <10 mm, hazard ratio, 0.07; 95% confidence interval, 0.01–0.34; p = 0.001).
Conclusions
A cumulative survival rate comparable to that reported in other studies was achieved over prolonged periods of time. Although implant failure is multifactorial and implant length is only one of many factors contributing to implant loss, clinicians must be aware of the potential influence of implant length and make treatment decisions.

Objective
To outline the effect of a Le Fort 1-type advancement osteotomy or Le Fort 1 level distraction osteogenesis (DO) procedure with anterior repositioning on speech, respiration and dimensions of the pharyngeal airway in patients with cleft lip and/or palate.
Methods
This systematic review was conducted by following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). For studies published until October 2023, an electronic search was conducted, and those were included in which the impact of Le Fort 1 maxillary advancement (I) on the speech, breathing, and pharyngeal airway dimensions (O) compared to pre-operative situation (C) in the patients with non -syndromic cleft lip/palate (P) were assessed. A meta-analysis was done to assess the difference in the amount of pharyngeal depth.
Results
From 892 studies, 19 studies were included in the analysis. All studies reported an increase of airway dimensions that were evaluated with 3D-imaging, velar length and improvement in breathing after the intervention. Meta-analysis of the six studies revealed the significant increase of the following variables: nasopharyngeal depth (NPD) immediately after the Le Fort 1 osteotomy, NPD and middle pharyngeal depth immediately and 12 months after Le Fort 1 DO.
Conclusion
In patients with cleft lip and/or palate, maxillary advancement using Le Fort 1 osteotomy and Le Fort 1 DO can significantly increase the dimensions of the airway in the nasopharynx. However, the changes in speech and breathing parameters were not significant in the scrutinized literature. Impact of Le Fort maxillary advancement on patients’ speech remains controversial.
目的概述 Le Fort 1 型推进截骨术或 Le Fort 1 水平牵张成骨术(DO)与前方复位术对唇裂和/或腭裂患者的言语、呼吸和咽气道尺寸的影响。方法本系统性综述按照系统性综述和荟萃分析首选报告项目(PRISMA)进行。对 2023 年 10 月之前发表的研究进行了电子检索,并纳入了评估 Le Fort 1 上颌前突(I)与非综合征唇/腭裂(P)患者术前情况(C)相比,对语言、呼吸和咽气道尺寸(O)的影响的研究。结果在 892 项研究中,有 19 项研究被纳入分析。所有研究都报告了气道尺寸的增加(通过三维成像评估)、伶仃长度和干预后呼吸的改善。对六项研究进行的 Meta 分析表明,以下变量显著增加:Le Fort 1 截骨术后即刻的鼻咽深度(NPD)、Le Fort 1 DO 术后即刻和 12 个月的鼻咽深度(NPD)和中咽深度。然而,在仔细研究的文献中,语言和呼吸参数的变化并不明显。Le Fort 上颌骨前移术对患者言语的影响仍存在争议。
