Displaced dental materials in the maxillary sinus: An original series analysis and definition of a surgical decision process.
No full textObjectives: Displacement of dental materials into the maxillary sinus occurs in daily dental practice; dental implants have become a new common foreign body (FB), as implantation has become routine. The main goal of the present study was to analyze an original series of patients consecutively treated for maxillary sinus FBs. A secondary goal was to propose a decision-making flowchart on the basis of the authors’ experience and a critical analysis of literature to select the most appropriate surgical approach.
Methods: Eleven consecutive patients evaluated for maxillary sinus FBs consisting of dental material were considered.
Results: For removal of the FBs, a nasal endoscopic approach was preferred in 5 cases, a nasal combined approach in 2 cases, an oronasal combined approach in 2 cases, and a lateral window approach in 2 cases. In 2 of 11 cases, complications were reported. A decision-making flowchart to select the best surgical approach is reported.
Conclusions: The correct choice and application of FB removal techniques allow minimization of unfavorable outcomes and creation of an appropriate environment for new dental treatment. Prospective, large series-based studies will be necessary to confirm the safety and clinical efficacy of the proposed decision-making flowchart
Calcio e capitale sociale
No full textIl capitolo discute la letteratura sociologica sul capitale sociale associata allo sport. L'analisi delle implicazioni sociali del gioco del calcio viene poi arricchita dallo studio del Barcellona football club, un caso che dimostra quanto lo sport possa essere utile nel facilitare la costruzione di legami sociali su scala locale e internazionale

No full textTwo case reports of a false aneuurism of the sphenopalatine artery after Lefort I osteotomy
No full textFalse aneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas are rare complications of orthognathic surgery. The vessel most commonly involved with false aneurysms following mandibular surgery is the internal maxillary artery, and this vessel, especially the sphenopalatine branch, may also be involved following maxillary surgery. An unusual factor in the presentation of false aneurysms following Le Fort I osteotomies is an initial episode of epistaxis occurring greater than 2 weeks postoperatively. Arteriovenous fistulas following orthognathic surgery are more apt to involve large vessels, especially the internal carotid artery. Embolization procedures are the treatment of choice for false aneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas in the maxillofacial region following orthognathic surgery
Replacement of fractured reconstruction plate with customised mandible implant: A novel technique
No full textIn the case presented the authors faced up to the urgent necessity of lateral mandibular reconstruction in a patient affected by multiple myeloma who had already experienced two consecutives ruptures of conventional load-bearing plate.
Given the insufficient remaining bone surface for stable plate fixation, especially at the proximal condylar segment, further plate substitution with standard method was not practicable. Moreover, patient’s progressive declining in health, highly contraindicated mandibular reconstruction with vascularized bone graft.
Therefore, it was decided to virtually plan and fabricate a customized mandible-like titanium prototyped plate, which was pre-shaped according to the individual anatomical bone conditions. The solution proposed may represent a valid option for the substitution of fractured/displaced mandibular reconstruction plates under complex anatomical conditions
