Continuity defects of the jaw can be reconstructed with titanium plates or microvascular bone flaps; osteosynthesis plates are necessary for both. In this study we performed a retrospective review of patients treated with Medartis MODUS® Mandible Trauma/Reco 2.0-2.5, TriLock bridging plates, mandibulectomy and soft tissue free flap or reconstruction with a bony free flap and TriLock mandibular plates from the same system from January 2015 to August 2019. The variables recorded were sex, age, diagnosis,...

Coronectomy is an alternative surgical technique for the management of high-risk third molars. It involves the removal of the crown of a tooth and the deliberate retention of the roots, thereby avoiding injury to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). Previous studies have suggested that it reduces the risk of nerve injury when compared with surgical extraction. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the incidence of complications following coronectomy such as IAN injury, pain, dry socket,...

Lingual nerve injury, a well-described complication of third molar removal, may result in permanent lingual sensory deficit leading to symptoms including lost or altered sensation, inadvertent tongue biting, and the development of unpleasant neuropathic pain, with consequent impaired quality of life. We analysed outcomes of a prospective case series to determine whether direct anastomosis of the lingual nerve results in improved sensory recovery and reduced neuropathic pain, and whether delayed surgery...

Abstract Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic inflammatory disease that mainly affects middle‐aged women (Au, Patel, & Campbell, 2013; Eisen, 2002). The term ‘oral lichenoid lesions’ (OLL) refers to lesions that resemble OLP but do not fulfill the diagnostic criteria for OLP (van der Meij & van der Waal, 2003; van der Waal, 2009). The role of OLP as an oral potentially malignant disorder has been controversial and widely debated. While some case reports and controlled studies suggest...

Abstract Objective The study aimed to establish an effective Back Propagation artificial neural network (BP‐ANN) model for automatic prediction of 3‐month treatment outcome of IgG4‐DS. Methods A total of 26 IgG4‐DS patients at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were involved in the study. They were all followed for > 3 months. The primary outcome was reduction of serum IgG4 (sIgG4) after 3‐month treatment. The association between risk factors and reduction...

Abstract Objectives This randomized open‐label trial compared the efficacy and tolerability of vortioxetine (15 mg/daily) with different antidepressants in the treatment of patients with Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS). Methods 150 BMS patients were randomized into five groups and treated with either vortioxetine, paroxetine (20 mg/ daily), sertraline (50 mg/ daily), escitalopram (10 mg/ daily) or duloxetine (60 mg/ daily).The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Total Pain Rating Index (T‐PRI), Hamilton...

Abstract Objective To assess the bacterial characteristics associated with intra‐oral halitosis among Chinese preschool children. Methods An epidemiological study was conducted among 273 preschool children (aged 3 to 4 years) in Shanghai, China, followed by collection of 16 samples from the tongue coating of caries‐free healthy and halitosis participants. The characterization of associated microbial communities was performed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing on the MiSeq. Results Halitosis...

A competing risk nomogram for predicting cancer‐specific death of patients with buccal mucosa cancer
Abstract Objectives Our aim was to develop and validate a competing risk nomogram to determine the probability of cancer‐specific death in buccal mucosa cancer (BMC) patients. Materials and Methods We examined the records of BMC patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program and First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University (China). We adopted the cumulative incidence function and Fine‐Gray proportional hazards model based on univariate and multivariate analyses...

Abstract Objectives During the months of March and April 2020, Italy saw an exponential outbreak of COVID‐19 epidemic. Dental practitioners were particularly limited in their routine activity, and the sole performance of urgent treatments was strongly encouraged during the peak of the epidemic. A survey among dental professionals was performed between 6th‐13th of April, in order to evaluate the status of dental practice during COVID‐19 in Italy. Materials and Methods An online anonymous...

Abstract A recent BMJ Editorial (“Getting it right in the pandemic”) has discussed examples of countries that have done better than others in responding to COVID‐19 pandemic and, conversely, those policymakers and health systems that got it wrong. (Loder, 2020) There is little doubt that, when facing a pandemic with a high speed of onset and transmission, “nobody should be surprised that errors were made” (Adebowale et al, 2020) and “what it was done some weeks ago is not what we would do today”.

Abstract Background Dickkopf‐1 is an inhibitor of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway, but the role of Dickkopf‐1 in oral submucous fibrosis remains unclear. We evaluated the protein expression and gene methylation levels of dickkopf‐1 to determine the mechanism underlying abnormal Wnt/β‐catenin pathway activation. Methods Healthy mucosa, oral submucous fibrosis, oral squamous cell carcinoma, and cancer‐adjacent tissues were collected. The expression and promoter methylation levels of dickkopf‐1...
