Virtually planned and CAD/CAM-guided secondary reconstruction of the mandibular condyle after malunion: from “unpredictable” to precise? —accuracy and outcomes

Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Background In patients with malunited condylar fractures of the mandible surgical intervention is preferred when malocclusion and compromised masticatory function occur. This study evaluated the accuracy and clinical utility of virtual surgical planning (

Investigating the Effect of Inclination Angle and the Influence of Scan Parameters on the Appearance and Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Filigree Tension Rods of LPBF‐Manufactured NiTi Shape‐Memory Alloys

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article investigates the dependence of the properties on the manufacturing orientation in the form of the inclination angle to the build plate of LPBF‐fabricated NiTi rods with a diameter of 150–220 µm. Metallographic, chemical, thermal, and mechanical characterization show behavior under identical manufacturing conditions that ranges from ...

Effect of nasogastric tube feeding on oral wound healing and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) after surgery for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ)

Head & Face Medicine
Background In patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), the use of nasogastric tubes (NGTs) after surgery is recommended to allow adequate nutrition without food interfering with oral wound healing.

3D‐Printed Titanium Gyroid Scaffold Structure Integrated With Tough Hybrid Materials for Cartilage Replacement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a potential device design for joint cartilage replacement. Silica‐polytetrahydrofuran (SiO2‐PolyTHF) hybrids with customizable mechanical properties were developed to mimic the characteristics of a natural meniscus. These were synthesized through a two‐pot sol–gel hybrid process.

Evaluation of Flap Shrinkage Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging Follow-up in the Treatment of Oral Cancer

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery Open, 2023
Objective Tumor resection and reconstruction in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma often involves free flaps followed by radiation therapy. Volume loss of free flaps is common following transplantation and radiation therapy. Therefore, this study

Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

Accuracy of the surgical execution of virtually planned deep circumflex iliac artery flaps and their appropriateness for masticatory rehabilitation

Head & Face Medicine
Background Tumorous diseases of the jaw demand effective treatments, often involving continuity resection of the jaw. Reconstruction via microvascular bone flaps, like deep circumflex iliac artery flaps (DCIA), is standard.
