The main objectives of the restoration of mandibula are three-dimensional reconstruction and functionality reestablishing, with minimal functional disorders and maintaining control of the disease. Currently we focus on reducing costs related to the effectiveness of the method of reconstruction. For these reasons, the ideal method of reconstruction is still controversial. There are a variety of techniques described in the literature, using both the autologous graft and the alloplastic materials. In this article we approach a technique originally used in our clinic with good results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The classical approach for parotidectomy leads sometimes to aesthetic deficits caused by the volumetric lack of tissue. The conservation of the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system (SMAS) has better aesthetic results and limits the Frey syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Frequently, the insertion of an implant in the upper premolars and molars, the main challenge is the presence of maxillary sinus, whose size can reduced the bone size. In these cases is indicated sinus lift to increase bone size and thus to allow the insertion of an implant. Area resulting from sinus lift is closed with bone graft materials and that, after the osseointegration, will provide a solid and long-lasting implants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dental extraction is followed by decreases in alveolar volume, vertically and horizontally. This retrospective study measured vertical alveolar resorption after insertion of immediate implants, using OPG, without CBCT or additional radiographs. Patients were randomly split in two groups A (57 implants) and B (47 implants). Measurements were made by two independent observers. The types of implants were: Exacta (Biaggini Medical Devices), Nova, Dentix Millenium and Surcam. The method was based on the size of the implant and another common element of the two radiographs. It used an optimal radiologic exposure. It can be generalized to other studies. Similar results measured in the two groups showed that alveolar remodeling does not depend on the type of the implant. Half of the alveoli did not have any resorption. Another quarter showed barely perceptible clinical resorption (1-2 mm). In the last quarter were registered all the notable resorptions that were associated with various factors (temporary mobile prosthesis, surgical flap, medication and some health problems, smoking etc.) showing real situations, not ideal conditions. Maximum resorption was unique (7.63 mm). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
