No full textAim The present review was aimed to identify the surgical procedures to enhance the prosthetic prognosis in patients with mandibular defects. Methods A literature search was performed on the databases PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, Dynamed and Grey Literature, in addition to congress proceedings and books written in Italian or English language. The literature search was conducted using the following keywords: (“prosthesis” or “prosthetic”) AND “prognosis” AND “mandibulectomy”; (“prosthesis” or “prosthetic”) AND “prognosis” AND (“defect” or “reconstruction” or “resection”) and (“mandibular” or “mandible”). Results The selection process yielded 43 papers after the databases search, while 7 books and 3 congress proceedings were included after the manual search. Conclusion To enhance the prosthetic prognosis, the surgeons must preserve the tongue mobility and as many teeth as possible; vestibuloplasty could be needed, while intraseptal bone cuts and specific resection lines are recommended. The use of fibula graft, osseointegrated implants, and digital technologies can improve the prosthetic prognosis

Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
