Evaluation of the application of computer-aided shape-adapted fabricated titanium mesh for mirroring-reconstructing orbital walls in cases of late post-traumatic enophthalmos.
Computer-aided individually shape-adapted fabricated titanium mesh for the mirroring-reconstruction of the orbit is a promising method for the correction of post-traumatic enophthalmos. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the application of this technique and assess the treatment outcomes. ⋯ Application of the individual fabricated titanium mesh for orbital reconstruction reduced the trauma-induced orbital volume increment by 65% and corrected 50% of severe late enophthalmos. Additional augmentation of orbital contents was required for further correction. The related treatment parameters were suggested.

Review Meta AnalysisCorticosteroid administration in oral and orthognathic surgery: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis.
This study evaluated the effect of corticosteroid (CS) administration on edema, analgesia, and neuroregeneration in conjunction with surgical dental extraction, orthognathic surgery, and the risk of developing side effects. ⋯ These findings suggest that the administration of CS in oral surgery decreases edema and pain significantly, with no higher risk of infection and with a minimum risk of other side effects.

Clinical TrialDigital subtraction angiography-guided percutaneous sclerotherapy of venous malformations with pingyangmycin and/or absolute ethanol in the maxillofacial region.
The present study evaluated the safety and efficacy of digital subtraction angiography-guided percutaneous sclerotherapy of venous malformations (VMs) with pingyangmycin and/or absolute ethanol in the maxillofacial region. We present our safe and novel method for treating venous malformations. ⋯ Digital subtraction angiography-guided phlebography of VMs in the maxillofacial region is one of the approaches to classify VMs using anatomic and hemodynamic features. A strong association was seen between the type of VM and the approach of sclerotherapy. Percutaneous sclerotherapy using pingyangmycin and/or absolute ethanol is a safe and effective method of treating symptomatic VMs.
