In the field of oral cancer treatment, Dr. Shubhra Chauhan’s exploration of mandible preservation versus resection presents a crucial decision-making crossroads for clinicians. Mandible preservation aims to maintain as much of the jawbone as possible, potentially offering patients better functional and aesthetic outcomes, and supporting their overall quality of life. Conversely, mandible resection, while often necessary to ensure complete removal of malignancy, can lead to significant postoperative challenges, including impaired speech and mastication, as well as altered facial appearance. Dr. Chauhan’s analysis emphasizes the need for a tailored approach, weighing the benefits of preserving mandibular integrity against the necessity of aggressive cancer control. This balanced perspective guides clinicians in making informed choices that align with both the clinical requirements of cancer eradication and the patient's long-term well-being.

Positive tumour margins following ablative surgery for head and neck cancer are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Existing tools to assist intraoperative margin detection, such as frozen section, offer poor diagnostic performance and are not universally adopted. Specialised mass spectrometry techniques can analyse the plume of smoke generated by electrodiathermy (Bovie) or CO2 laser dissection and accurately distinguish tumour from normal tissue: this has potential for intraoperative margin assessment.

Join Dr. Kolokythas for an insightful presentation on the management of benign odontogenic lesions. Excluding hamartomas (odontomas), keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KOTs), and ameloblastomas stand out as the most prevalent among these conditions. Their locally infiltrative behavior poses challenges, contributing to high recurrence rates despite traditional treatment methods like simple enucleation or excision proving inadequate. Left untreated, these lesions can lead to significant disfigurement and functional impairment. Understanding the latest best practices and potential future therapies is crucial for achieving effective disease management. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and clinical approach to these complex conditions. Join us for an engaging discussion.

Virtual surgical planning (VSP) and computer-aided surgical simulation (CASS) have become integral in orthognathic surgery, aiding in diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome evaluation for dentofacial deformities. However, the preparation of Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) is time-consuming and demands costly hardware and software. Challenges also arise in handling dental occlusion and simulating soft tissues. Dr. Caminiti will explain why VSP doesn't replace traditional methods, but serves as a valuable tool, particularly for addressing complex cases.

This expert-led session aims to provide rapid insights and share advanced opinions on management strategies, treatment options, and recent advancements in the field. We will explore complex cases and collaboratively discuss best practices. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with leading professionals and enhance your clinical approach.

In orthognathic surgery, segmental maxillary osteotomy is a helpful adjuvant for correcting transverse maxillary discrepancies, anterior open bite that orthodontic correction is inefficient and correction of severe proclination of the anterior teeth. However, when the technique is not performed properly it can result in complications.
