Objective
To complete the new classification of procedures and techniques to be performed in TMJ arthroscopy, with new techniques that have recently appeared and to add a new separate level.
Material and methods
The authors propose a new level and new subclassifications in TMJ arthroscopy, in order to be able to use the same language between TMJ arthroscopists and obtain more consistent results in the studies and analyses performed.
Results
Category and level I (lysis and lavage) is maintained while levels II (operative) and level III (discopexy) of TMJ arthroscopy are modified. Level III is divided according to the discopexy technique used; in IIIa for non-rigid sutures, IIIb for semi-rigid sutures and IIIc for rigid techniques. Furthermore, level IV of arthroscopy is also proposed, which would be that one carried out specifically and with special technique in the lower joint space.
Conclusions
It is important that all specialists in arthroscopic treatment of TMJ use the same classification system for the different techniques to obtain homogeneous, consistent and valid results in the different studies. This classification is not exclusive by levels, nor is it based on surgical difficulty, or the instrumentation of the techniques used.

Background
Extensive postburn face and neck contractures, particularly extending bilaterally or to the chest, pose significant reconstructive challenges. This study aims to assess the efficacy and strategies of bilateral pre-expanded supraclavicular artery flaps (SCFs) in addressing these complex defects.
Methods
A retrospective study was conducted at our institution from January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2024, encompassing patients who underwent bilateral pre-expanded SCF reconstruction for faciocervical scar contractures. Data on patient demographics, flap characteristics, and postoperative outcomes were collected.
Results
Twenty-one patients (median age, 11 years) underwent reconstruction with 42 pre-expanded SCFs. Indications included bilateral faciocervical scars (n = 7), full-neck scars (n = 5), and combined face, neck, and chest scars (n = 9). All flaps survived completely, with dimensions ranging from 8 cm × 5 cm to 25 cm × 13 cm. At a mean follow-up of 5.85 years, 95.2% of patients (20/21) reported satisfaction with the appearance and texture of the flaps, and all demonstrated improved neck mobility. Complications occurred in 19.0% of flaps (one wound dehiscence, three distal venous congestions), all of which resolved with conservative management.
Conclusion
Bilateral pre-expanded SCFs provide a reliable option for reconstructing extensive faciocervical contractures, including bilateral cervicofacial involvement, entire neck involvement, or with mentosternal adhesions, achieving both aesthetic and functional improvements.

Purpose
Conventional mandibular reconstruction frequently results in stress shielding, compromised osteotomy site healing, or bone resorption. This study introduces an Embedded Polygonal Bone Reconstruction Structure (EPBRS) that eliminates titanium plate dependency, enhanced through fillet-based topological optimization.
Materials and Methods
A computational model of the Embedded Polygonal Bone Reconstruction Structure (EPBRS) was developed from CT scans. Four variants with fillet radii (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mm) were designed. Physiological masticatory loading was simulated under identical conditions. The values of the von Mises stress and peak displacements were calculated for all configurations.
Results
With increasing fillet radius: The Maximum von Mises stress in the fibula graft decreased from 87.21 MPa to 37.59 MPa. The Maximum von Mises stress in the mandible decreased from 100.73 MPa to 23.9 MPa. The Maximum von Mises stress in titanium screws remained statistically invariant (170–185 MPa). Peak displacement (fibula graft, screws, mandible) decreased by approximately 0.1 mm between 0 mm and 0.2 mm fillet radii, remaining stable with further increases
Conclusion
The embedded polygonal reconstruction demonstrates significant biomechanical safety and reliability. Fillet optimization substantially reduced the Maximum von Mises stress and improved deformation resistance.

We describe the management and 3-year outcome of a fractured pterygomaxillary implant in a full-arch maxillary rehabilitation. A 48-year-old man with severe periodontitis and bruxism received a six implant full-arch prosthesis, including two pterygomaxillary implants. One year post-delivery, the prosthesis fractured. Radiographic examination revealed fracture at the apical third of the right pterygomaxillary implant. Coronal fragment and prosthesis were removed, apical fragment was retained because of its anatomical position. To restore posterior support, a short implant was placed using trans-alveolar sinus lift. After 4 months, a new prosthesis was delivered. At the 3-year follow-up, the outcome was successful. This is the first report of a fractured pterygomaxillary implant managed by retaining the apical fragment. We demonstrate that conservative retention of a fractured pterygomaxillary implant can be safe when surgical retrieval carries risks. We emphasize the importance of managing risk factors, like bruxism, in full-arch reconstructions involving pterygomaxillary implants.

Various surgical techniques have been proposed to prevent recurrent temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocations, with inconsistent results regarding recurrence and preservation of mandibular mobility. We report the innovative use of a custom-made porous bioceramic medical device for the treatment of recurrent bilateral TMJ dislocations. The implants were computer-designed from the patient's preoperative CT scan and manufactured by the Cerhum company. Implantation and fixation were performed through preauricular approaches. At one-year follow-up, no recurrence or surgical complications were observed. Mandibular mobility was within normal limits, and the aesthetic outcome was satisfactory. This is the first reported use of porous bioceramic in the management of recurrent TMJ dislocations. The technique combines the osseointegrative properties of the material with the precision of a patient-specific design. However, the intrinsic fragility of bioceramic requires limiting implant thickness. Additional cases and longer follow-up are mandatory to confirm the efficacy and safety of this novel technique.

Objective
To determine insertion angles and force directions that minimize micromotion of infrazygomatic crest (IZC) mini-implants while accounting for the curved lateral wall and the non-parallel bicortical anatomy.
Methods
We built 20 three-dimensional finite element models that preserved full thread geometry and the true IZC bicortical relationship. Two force directions (horizontal vs. vertical), five insertion angles (15°–70°), and single vs. double cortical engagement were tested under a 2 N load. Outcomes included implant displacement and von Mises stress in the screw and surrounding bone.
Results
Vertical loading consistently halved displacement compared with horizontal loading (mean 7.3 ± 2.9 μm vs. 14.7 ± 6.2 μm). Under horizontal forces, 45° minimized displacement (8.1 μm) and cortical stress (92 MPa); under vertical forces, 15° performed best (4.6 μm). Effect sizes were substantial: vertical vs. horizontal displacement ratio ≈ 0.50; 45° vs. 70° cortical stress reduction ≈ 33–40 % under horizontal loading. Penetrating the thin sinus floor (∼0.45 mm) did not improve stability.
Conclusion
For IZC anchorage, 15–45° insertion with predominantly vertical force reduces stress and micromotion; thin bicortical engagement provides no additional benefit. These anatomy-aware rules are readily applicable chairside.

Background
To investigate the characteristics, causes, and risk factors of perioperative mortality (POM) in patients undergoing surgery for head and neck cancer (HNC).
Patients and Methods
Medical records of HNC patients treated between 1999 and 2024 were reviewed. Sixty-six patients who experienced POM were identified and compared with 132 matched controls (matched for tumor site, stage, and type of surgery). Data included demographics, comorbidities, tumor features, treatment history, perioperative management, and causes of death. POM causes were categorized as surgical, medical, mixed, or personal. Risk factors were assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.
Results
Among 198 patients (66 POM, 132 controls), those with POM were older, had more comorbidities, advanced disease, and prior radiotherapy. They also showed higher ASA grades, longer operations, greater blood loss, and more frequent tracheotomy (all p < 0.05). Most deaths occurred postoperatively, with medical complications predominating. Independent predictors of POM were comorbidities, advanced stage, ASA grade <III, blood loss >600 ml, and tracheotomy.
Conclusion
Perioperative mortality in HNC surgery results from multifactorial causes, with both surgical and medical complications contributing significantly. Identifying high-risk patients based on preoperative status and operative parameters may help optimize perioperative care and reduce mortality.

Background
Severe mandibular atrophy often precludes the use of conventional endosseous implants. Recent advances in 3D imaging, CAD/CAM design, and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) of titanium alloys have improved the clinical viability of custom-made subperiosteal implants.
Methods
This retrospective study included 10 patients with Cawood and Howell Class IV–VI mandibular atrophy who received additively manufactured, patient-specific titanium subperiosteal implants. Designs were based on CT scans and fabricated via DMLS. Clinical and radiological assessments were conducted postoperatively to evaluate implant survival, complications, and bone stability over a follow-up period of up to 12 years.
Results
Seven implants (70 %) remained functional and clinically stable. Three were removed due to late complications, including bone resorption and granulation tissue formation. Early postoperative complications included oedema and pain in all cases, all of which were effectively managed with conservative treatment. These complications did not compromise implant functionality. Late complications were observed in three patients that ultimately led to implant removal. The overall implant survival rate in this cohort was 70 %.
Conclusion
DMLS-fabricated, custom-designed subperiosteal implants offer a promising solution for patients with severe mandibular atrophy. Despite some late complications, the technology demonstrates favorable long-term outcomes, especially when conventional implants are contraindicated.

Introduction
Persistent oral manifestations of Crohn's disease (CD), despite intestinal remission, remain a therapeutic challenge. This study aimed to describe two such cases and review available literature on management strategies.
Case reports
Despite infliximab and methotrexate, the first patient developed progressive oral lesions with only partial improvement under upadacitinib. The second achieved digestive remission under golimumab and successfully controlled oral lesions with intralesional corticosteroids.
Discussion
A literature review (Pubmed, ScienceDirect; up to January 2025) identified 17 articles involving 75 patients. Oral lesions appeared independently (54 %), concomitantly with digestive disease (20 %), or preceded it (26 %). Therapeutic responses were variable, with limited efficacy of anti-TNF antibodies, immunosuppressants, and corticosteroids. Anti-IL12/23 antibodies showed promising results in isolated cases, while data on anti-IL-23 antibodies and JAK inhibitors remain lacking.
Conclusion
Due to the absence of standardized therapeutic protocols, a personalized, multidisciplinary approach is essential. Further studies are needed to better define effective treatments.
