Risks and possible complications in maxillofacial surgery patients during or after coronavirus infection

This review/prognostic article briefly shows the pandemic features of COVID-19, morphological changes in blood vessels in COVID-19, mainly related to endotheliitis and thrombosis of small vessel branches. Cases of COVID-19 complications occurring in the practice of maxillofacial surgeons are given. Regarding possible complications during invasive interventions on the head and neck, we believe it is possible to consider COVID-19 in the anamnesis of patients in the departments of maxillofacial surgery as a new risk factor, and in case of severe course and prognosis of possible complications, as a contraindication for manipulations in the head and neck area.

NEW METHOD FOR RESTORATION OF LOWER FACE

Application of the method developed by the author of the restoration of the lower of the face with his proposed technique free osteoplasty of the mandible in conjunction with komressionno-distraction device (KDD) own design allowed simultaneously to replace extensive bone and soft tissue defects immediately after they are lost or in distant time. Minor trauma surgery postoperative high aesthetic and functional results, allows widely recommend this type of plastic in the practice of maxillofacial surgeons.

Paralytic lagophthalmos syndrome in the plastic and maxillofacial surgeon practice

to identify and give an objective assessment of all changes in the periorbital region in paralysis orbicularis oculi muscle. With physical, laboratory and instrumental methods of research, we analyzed the survey of 33 patients with paralytic lagophthalmos. This survey has allowed us to identify the symptoms of periorbital changes characteristic of paralysis orbicularis oculi involved in lagophthalmos development. After analyzing the results of a survey of 33 patients with paralytic lagophthalmos, we identified 15 symptoms of changes in the periorbital region. In our opinion, lagophthalmos should be considered as a syndrome, including certain symptom in a particular case. For adequate closure of the optic fissure and obtaining a good aesthetic result is necessary to simultaneously remove more of the symptoms.

Simple Bone Augmentation for Alveolar Ridge Defects

Dental implant procedures, both surgical placement and preimplant bone augmentation, have become an integral aspect of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon's practice. The number of dental implants placed each year continues to increase as a result of increasing patient exposure and awareness of dental implants, the increased functional and esthetic dental demands of general practitioners and patients, the overall increase in age of the US patient population, and expanded insurance coverage of dental implant-related procedures. This article outlines relevant surgical procedures aimed toward reconstructing alveolar ridge defects to restore intra-arch alveolar discrepancies before restoration-driven dental implant placement.
