Superior Labial Artery Mucosal Flap (SLAM) for Reconstruction of Major Lower Lip Mucosal Defects
ABSTRACT Background The superior labial artery mucosal (SLAM) flap is a versatile, pedicled axial flap ideally suited for mucosal lining in lower lip reconstruction. Methods This article details the surgical anatomy and technique of the SLAM flap, highlighting its role as a standalone liner or mucosal adjunct to microvascular free tissue transfer in ...

ABSTRACT Background Frailty and sarcopenia may influence head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment outcomes, including dysphagia. Current understanding of this relationship, however, remains limited. This scoping review aimed to synthesize existing evidence on the relationship between frailty and/or sarcopenia and dysphagia in adults with HNC.

ABSTRACT Background Perineural invasion (PNI) is an established adverse prognostic factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but the implications of its extent as well as its relationship with surgical margin status and the extent of microscopic tumor spread remain unclear.

ABSTRACT Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) is crucial in preventing postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs), especially in clean and clean‐contaminated surgeries. It was a prospective comparative observational study that compared the effectiveness and safety of single‐dose ceftriaxone monotherapy with amoxicillin–clavulanic acid as a ...

Cytotoxic and Genotoxic Effects in Buccal Cells of Sandstone Quarry Workers
ABSTRACT Mineral extraction poses significant occupational health risks, particularly from respirable crystalline silica exposure. Sandstone quarrying generates substantial dust, yet evidence of its genotoxic effects remains limited. This study investigated cytogenotoxic damage in sandstone quarry workers from southern Brazil using the buccal ...

Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis is a destructive disease affecting the tissues surrounding dental implants. Biomaterials may be applied during surgical treatment to reconstruct bony defects and support soft tissue healing. However, current evidence is unclear if these treatments increase the likelihood of peri‐implantitis resolution.

Abstract Background Surface decontamination is integral to peri‐implantitis treatment. However, abrasive mechanical methods can cause implant surface degradation with possible adverse biological effects. No human studies have examined whether these treatments cause titanium release or impair regenerative outcomes.

Abstract Background Peri‐implant soft tissue dehiscence deficiencies (PSTDs) are common esthetic complications in the anterior maxilla, yet the parameters that protect the peri‐implant soft tissue margin (STM) over time remain unclear. Previous studies have identified several risk indicators, but longitudinal thresholds capable of predicting stable STM
