Abstract
Myxomas, characterized by abundant mucoid stroma and spindle cells, represent a subset of benign soft tissue tumors. Intramuscular myxomas in the maxillofacial region are rare, posing diagnostic challenges. We present the case of a 58-year-old male who reported limited jaw movement. Physical examination revealed asymmetry, restricted mouth opening, and left lateral jaw movement. Imaging confirmed a well-defined myxomatous mass. Core needle biopsy confirmed an intramuscular myxoma involving the pterygoid and masseteric muscles. A multidisciplinary team opted for surveillance due to its benign nature. Follow-up at six months showed stable findings, supporting the decision for non-surgical management. This case highlights the diagnostic and management challenges of rare intramuscular myxomas in the maxillofacial region. A comprehensive diagnostic work-up, including clinical, radiological, and histopathological data, is crucial. Non-surgical management, guided by a benign nature, underscores the importance of judicious and multidisciplinary approaches. Regular follow-up contributes to understanding the natural history of intramuscular myxomas, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring in soft tissue tumor management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the clinical effectiveness of applying medical glue versus conventional suturing after primary suturing and continuous vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) technology in the treatment of facial wounds caused by dog bites in children's maxillofacial region, with respect to operation time, wound infection rate, treatment effect, and patient satisfaction. METHODS From May 2020 to July 2022, 68 children with a dog bite in the maxillofacial region were randomly divided into medical glue and conventional suturing groups. The patients in both groups were treated with conventional debridement, tetanus and/or rabies immunization, and antibiotic therapy. The medical glue group was treated with VSD after the first-stage of the loose suture of the wound. After 5 days, the suture was removed, and the wound was tightly bonded with medical glue again. The conventional suturing group was treated with VSD after the first-stage of loose suture of the wound. The primary outcomes were the operation time and satisfaction of the 2 groups, and the secondary outcomes was the wound infection rate. RESULTS The operation time of the medical glue group was significantly lower than that of the conventional suturing group. However, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the wound infection rate. Still, the patient satisfaction was significantly better in the medical glue group than the conventional suturing group with statistically significant difference (P < .05). CONCLUSION In conclusion, applying medical glue after using negative pressure sealing drainage in treating maxillofacial dog bites can reduce surgeons work intensity, lessen children's pain, and improve the clinical treatment effect.

Abstract
Background In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence and radiographic features of incidental head and neck soft tissue calcifications (STCs) on panoramic imagesand assess their clinical significance. Methodology Following well-established training and calibration procedures, 9,553 digital panoramic radiographs (DPRs) taken between January 1, 2021, and January 31, 22, were retrospectively evaluated. Only obvious calcifications and clear differential diagnoses were considered. The presence, type, side (i.e., unilateral or bilateral), number (single or multiple), and the presence of different calcifications in the same individual were recorded. STCs were recorded according to age and gender. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and Fisher's exact test using SPSS version 18.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results Overall, 35.8% of the DPRs studied showed the presence of STCs, including ossified stylohyoid complex (OSHC) (10.3%), thyroid cartilage (9.8%), tonsillolith (9.2%), atherosclerotic plaques (5.8%), calcified triticeous cartilage (CTC) (5.1%), sialolith (1.9%), as well as intra-articular (1.3%) and other calcifications (0.1-0.8%), i.e., calcified lymph node, antrolith, rhinolith, phlebolith, and osteoma cutis. STCs were found to be more prevalent in middle-aged patients and in females. A significant relationship was identified between the presence of carotid artery calcification and calcified superior horn of thyroid cartilage (CSHTC), as well as between the presence of CSHTC and CTC. Calcifications were detected either bilaterally (n = 2,003) or unilaterally (n = 2,388); however, OSHC mostly showed bilateral calcifications (8.5%). Conclusions Panoramic radiographs of dental patients reveal the frequent occurrence of STCs in the head and neck region with differing radiographic features. Certain calcifications show gender and age differences. Accurate detection of STCs may guide the identification of potential underlying diseases and help initiate referral to the relevant multidisciplinary teams.

Abstract
THE AIM OF THE STUDY To study the frequency and structure of the incidence of facial furuncle in military personnel of St. Petersburg and Leningrad region and civilians. To conduct a comparative analysis of the nature of the course, duration and outcome of the disease in military personnel and civilians (according to case histories). MATERIAL AND METHODS From 5744 case histories of patients with purulent-inflammatory processes of the maxillofacial region treated at the clinic of the Department of ChLH and Surgical Dentistry of the Kirov Medical University and St. Petersburg State Medical Institution «City Hospital No. 15» from 2017 to 2019, 201 case histories of patients with facial furuncle were isolated and analyzed. RESULTS According to the results of a study conducted from 2017 to 2019 in the clinic of the Department of CHLH and surgical Dentistry, a facial furuncle was detected in 65 cases. In the general structure of purulent-inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial region, it was 3.1%. In the department of ChLH GB No. 15, 136 people were treated, which amounted to 3.7%. A lower percentage of the disease in military personnel is associated with early detection and timely initiation of treatment of purulent-inflammatory diseases of the skin. Weekly inspections of military personnel in military units, allow to avoid the development of complicated forms of their course. 95.0% of military personnel (47.0% of them contractors) and 51.0% of civilians were in the age group from 17 to 21 years. The main cause of the disease - hypothermia - in military personnel was 32.1%, in civilians - 20.9%. More often, the furuncle disease occurred in the spring: in military personnel in 44.6%, in civilians in 30.7% of cases. Localization of a boil in the buccal region occurred in military personnel in 15.4% of cases, and in civilians - in 20.8% of cases. CONCLUSION To prevent the disease of facial frunculus in military personnel, it is necessary to improve methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of patients, to provide consultations of related specialists: dermatovenerologist, endocrinologist, immunologist. In addition, it is necessary to observe the rules of personal hygiene with the use of individual skin care products (according to the type of facial skin), hardening of the body and vitamin therapy.

Abstract
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble secosteroid that plays a significant role in the whole body, including the maxillofacial region. The discovery of its receptors in many cells and organs made it possible to reveal the participation of vitamin D not only in the regulation of calcium phosphate metabolism, but also in immune processes, in providing anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, slowing down cell proliferation and stimulating differentiation. In this literature review, we demonstrate the association between low vitamin D levels and the development of recurrent aphthous stomatitis, the course and response to treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, the severity of periodontal diseases, and the processes of osseointegration and bone remodeling during dental implantation and guided tissue regeneration. The aim of our article was to demonstate a possible connection between vitamin D level and the oral diseases that can be presented at an oral surgery appointment, which will help clinicians to reduce the risk of early dental implant failure, ensure favorable outcomes of augmentative operations, as well as decrease the destructive effects of severe periodontitis and other conditions throug knowledge and timely lab tests and endocrinologist prescriptions.

Abstract
Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare type of sarcoma that is characterized by benign-appearing histologic features but a paradoxically aggressive clinical course. Recognition of this lesion is important because of its indolent but metastasizing nature. These tumors generally occur in young to middle-aged adults, sometimes in children, but rarely in the high-aged adults. LGFMS typically affects the deep soft tissues of the trunk or lower extremities: however, it is rarely seen on the maxillofacial region. Here, we describe a case of LGFMS on the left lower one-third region of the face of a 35-year-old male patient with a 6-month history. On gross examination, the resected specimen consisted of an open ovoid mass of 2 cm × 2 cm × 1 cm. Light microscopy revealed well-circumscribed myxoid tumor with hypocellular areas in nodules merging to collagenized areas. Immunohistochemical examination revealed diffuse positivity to vimentin, whereas tests for desmin, S-100 protein were negative, thus confirming the diagnosis. After the initial healing of the surgical wound, the patient was advised 30 cycles of radiotherapy. Recurrence and metastasis have not been observed for 1 year of surgical excision now. Due to the notably indolent nature of LGFMS, long-term follow-up is necessary to evaluate its clinical course

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the short-term clinical efficacy and factors influencing low-dose superficial X-ray for treating infantile maxillofacial hemangioma. METHODS Retrospective analysis was conducted on 161 cases of infants with maxillofacial hemangioma treated with superficial X-ray in the Laser Center of Dermatology Department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017. Clinical efficacy was analyzed by comparing the photos before and after treatment. Patients were further divided into groups according to different genders, age at the start of treatment, preterm birth or low birth weight, hemangioma site, longest diameter of hemangioma, and type of hemangioma to analyze whether differences existed in clinical efficacy and therapeutic dose between different groups. RESULTS Twelve months after the end of treatment, the overall cure rate was 93.8%, and the significant efficiency was 97.5%. The clinical efficacy was related to the age of children at the beginning of treatment and the type of hemangioma (P<0.05). The clinical efficacy of children aged less than or equal to 12 months and superficial hemangioma group was better than that of children aged more than 12 months and deep subtype or mixed hemangioma group, respectively. Therapeutic doses associa-ted with hemangioma treatment with diameter, category, age (P<0.05), diameter greater than or equal to 4 cm hemangioma group, the mixed type or deep in the group, the children older than 12 months hemangioma group, respectively, the dia-meter is less than 4 cm hemangioma, superficial hemangioma group and age less than or equal to 12 months hemangioma total treatment group exposure dose is greater. CONCLUSIONS Low-dose superficial X-ray is safe and effective for the treatment of infantile maxillofacial hemangioma. Age and type of hemangioma at the time of treatment are the factors influencing therapeutic dose and clinical efficacy.

Abstract
When congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) is in the maxillofacial region, a safer, more effective and fewer side-effects treatment is needed for patients with high requirement for appearance. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA) for CMN in the maxillofacial region. We reviewed 21 patients treated with RFA for CMN followed by a blinded retrospective analysis of serial photographs taken during the course of their therapy. Questionnaires were used to evaluate perceived therapeutic response and complications of this treatment. Most CMNs stopped growing, faded in color and became smaller. Reduction in size of 90% to 100% was obtained in two patients (10%), 75% to 90% in six patients (29%), 50% to 75% in two patients (10%), <50% in eight patients (38%), and three had no reduction (13%). Clear effect of clinical response score was obtained in two patients (10%), excellent in four patients (19%), good in 14 patients (67%), and fair in one patient (4%). No serious complication, severe hypertrophic scarring, and evidence of recurrence was observed in any case. Percutaneous RFA, as a minimally invasive and safe treatment, may provide an alternative treatment for maxillofacial CMN.

Abstract
Osteomas of the facial bones are a rare entity and very few cases have been reported in the literature. Osteoma is a benign osteogenic lesion with a very slow growth, characterized by proliferation of either cancellous or compact bone. This paper describes a case of a 27 year old male seeking treatment for a slowly enlarging lesion in the maxillary right anterior region. Surgical excision of the lesion was done and the histopathologic evaluation revealed dense compact bone with osteocytes in the lacunae suggestive of compact osteoma. One year followup showed no evidence of recurrence. To best of our knowledge this is the twelfth case of maxillary osteoma reported in English language literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the clinical features of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) involving the oral and maxillofacial region in children. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 12 children with LCH involving the oral and maxillofacial region who were hospitalized and treated from September 2012 to September 2017, including clinical manifestations, pathological features, treatment and prognosis. RESULTS Of the 12 children, 8 (67%) had multiple system involvement and 7 (58%) had the involvement of organs at risk. Bone was the most common affected site (11 children, 92%), among whom 7 children had the involvement of the mandible. Oral soft tissue involvement manifested as gingival ulcer or hyperplasia in 4 children, loose teeth in 5 children, oral mucosal lesions in 2 children, and nodular lesions in 1 child. Pathological examination showed positive CDla in 11 children and positive CD207, CD68, S-100, and LCA in 12 children. Surgery combined with chemotherapy was the major treatment method, and surgical resection alone was performed for focal lesions. After treatment, 11 children were cured or improved and 1 gave up treatment and was lost to follow-up. No recurrence was observed. CONCLUSIONS LCH children with oral and maxillofacial involvement often have the involvement of multiple systems and organs at risk, with the mandible as the most common affected site. These children may also have the involvement of gingiva, oral mucosa and teeth. Surgery combined with chemotherapy is the major treatment method, and the patients generally have a good prognosis without recurrence.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the use of dental trays-transformers for the manufacture of prosthetic designs for elderly patients with acquired microstomia. Was conducted a clinical study of 12 hemimaxillectomy patients from 60 to 72 years. The 1st group included 6 patients with acquired microstomia, impressions of the jaws were obtained with dental trays-transformers. The 2nd group includes 6 patients who have less traumatic oral opening, they were removed with standard dental trays. The group of clinical control consisted of 6 patients with partial absence of maxillary teeth, who needed to prosthetic dentistry. The results of the study indicate the effectiveness of the use of trays-transformers to impressions of the jaw in elderly patients with restricted oral opening, as well as in patients with normal oral opening. Optimization of the stages of obturator prostheses allows to provide qualitative prosthetic care of patients with malignant neoplasms of the oropharyngeal region, which has a positive effect on the quality of life of elderly patients with acquired defects of the oropharyngeal region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to study the clinical anatomy of the maxillofacial and mandibular regions of the Madras Red sheep through the morphometric analysis of some clinically important parameters pertaining to the regional anaesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted in 20 male and 20 female adult Madras Red sheep around 20-25 kg body weight. Eleven parameters re- lated to the clinical regional anaesthesia of the maxillofacial and the mandibular regions were recorded. RESULTS The distance between the facial tuberosity to the infraorbital canal was 2.25 ± 0.14 cm in males and 2.14 ± 0.15 cm in females. The distance from the infraorbital canal to the root of the alveolar tooth was 1.73 ± 0.28 cm in males and 1.73 ± 0.13 cm in females. The length and height of the mandibles were 15.37 ± 0.56 cm, 9.00 ± 0.24 cm and in males 14.53 ± 0.24 cm, 9.68 ± 0.16 cm in females, respectively. The maximum height of the mandible to the coro- noid process, width or height of the mandibular foramen and the distance from the condyloid process to the base of the mandible were recorded as 9.0 ± 24, 0.82 ± 0.05, 6.68 ± 0.19 cm in males and 9.68 ± 0.16, 0.83 ± 0.04, 6.25 ± ± 0.28 cm in females, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The present study revealed that most of the parameters showed statistically significant difference between the sexes i.e. the males had higher values. However, from the practical point of view, these differences were meagre. The results were discussed with regard to their clinical applications in various regional anaesthesia performed in maxillofacial and mandibular regions of the Madras Red sheep.

Abstract
Treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) should be individualized based on the imaging findings. A total of 117 AVM cases were categorized into three types based on the angio-architectural characteristics: Type I (n=14, no draining vein or diameter of the draining vein <2mm); Type II (n=64, draining vein diameter 2-6mm); and Type III (n=39, draining vein diameter >6mm). Subjects were randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups: Group A (n=59) received multipoint percutaneous ethanol injection (MPEI), while Group B (n=58) received super-selective angiograms followed by embolization with gelfoam (EFAG) plus MPEI. Patients were followed up for 2-6 years. A significant between-group difference with respect to treatment outcomes was observed only for Type III cases (P<0.05). Direct percutaneous puncture digital-subtraction-angiography-guided classification of AVMs provides easy-to-follow guidelines for its clinical management. EFAG plus MPEI with reduced procedure time and the amount of ethanol should be used for Type III AVMs.

Abstract
The radiation has an antitumor effect and causes radiation reactions and damage to surrounding tissues within the framework of combined antitumor treatment of patients with cancer of maxillofacial region. It also has an irreversible effect on the production of saliva by large and small salivary glands, and this must be taken into account when planning radiation therapy for this group of patients.

Abstract
Objective:To compare and analyze the incidence, clinical features ,imaging features, the preoperative serum alkalinosis phosphatase (ALP) and recurrence rates of osteoma, ossifying fibroma (OF), and fibrous dysplasia (FD) in sinus and maxillofacial benign fibrosis (FOLS). Method: The 273 cases of FOLS with paranasal sinus and maxillofacial region in our hospital, among which there were 153 cases of osteoma, 44 cases of OF, and 76 cases of FD, were reviewed retrospectively and were follow-up for 6 months to 5 years. The incidence, gender, age, lesion location, preoperative serum ALP levels and recurrence rate of different lesions were analyzed and compared. Result:Most Osteoma occurred in paranasal sinus (72.5%),among which the most common part was ethmoid sinus (50.3%) and followed by the frontal sinus (22.1%),the ratio of female to male was 2:1,and there were 27 cases (17.7%) accompanied by sinusitis.None of the patients relapsed. Most OF occurred in the maxillofaCIal bone (65.9%) and most of the lesions were monostotic (75.0%).For those occurred in the paranasal sinuses,the ethmoid sinus (27.3%)were the most common part than others. The ratio of femal to male was almost 1∶1 and there were 12 cases (27.3%) accompanied by sinusitis. The recurrence rate of the OF was 13.6%.Most FD occured in maxillofacial bone (64.5%) were the monostotic form(64.5%) ,and in which the most common part was the maxilla (50.0%). While,most of those occurred in the paranasal sinuses were the polyostotic ones,and sphenoid sinus (34.2%) were the most common parts.The ratio of femal to male was almost 1∶1 and there were 10 cases (13.2%) accompanied by sinusitis. 12 cases relapsed (14.5%),and there were 9 cases (75.0%) acceptted the first surgery before the age of 20.The average age of onset among Osteoma[(40.7±14.55)y],OF[(28.0±17.9)y] and FD[(20.32±15.2)y] were significant different (P<0.01).The preoperative serum ALP content among Osteoma[(68.3±24.1)U/L, OF(130.1±107.0) U/L and FD were (127.7±78.7) U/L significant different(P<0.01).Nevertheless,there were no differences of the preoperative serum ALP content between the monostotic and polyostotic in OF cases[(117.2±92.6) U/L,(168.7±140.1) U/L respectively,( P>0.01)],as well as that between FD cases[(122.2±82.9) U/L, (137.7±70.7) U/L (P>0.01)]. Conclusion:The differences of the inCIdence,the age of onset,leision location,preoperative serum ALP content and reccurence rate among Osteoma,OF and FD are statistically significant.Surgery is the most effective treatment at present.

Abstract
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital vascular malformations accounting only 1.5% of all vascular anomalies with 50% occurrence in the oral and maxillofacial region. It usually results from birth defects of the vasculature. A literature search revealed only few case reports of AVMs in the facial region. Lack of meticulous diagnosis, scarcity of knowledge, and paucity of literature can result in their exsanguinations leading to fatal hemorrhagic incidents after various dental procedures such as tooth extraction, surgical intervention, puncture wound, or blunt injury in involved area. The present case describes the accidental diagnosis of asymptomatic high-flow AVMs in the facial region of pediatric patient reported primarily for the treatment of periapical abscess. This case report is unique because although there was no history of bleeding episodes, thorough examination and investigations diagnosed it as high-flow vascular malformation. It is important for the dental practitioner to be aware of AVM which may be present in the head and neck region that can produce fatal bleeding episodes during various dental procedures. Proper diagnosis of AVMs through complete history, precise clinical examination, and advanced imaging modalities can help in preventing serious life-threatening complications.

Abstract
Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a distinctive variant of fibrosarcoma with a high metastasizing potential and is characterized by a long interval between tumor presentation and metastasis. LGFMS involving the maxillofacial region is a very rare entity with only six cases reported till date. LGFMS is characterized by its benign histological appearance, with spindle cells in whorling pattern, and collagenized and myxoid areas. The heterogeneous histological appearance makes the diagnosis challenging. Immunohistochemical staining has been reported by a number of authors, with some conflicting results, showing positivity with vimentin, but no immunoreactivity with antibodies to keratin, desmin, actin, S100 or epithelial membrane antigen. We present a case of a 35-year-old male patient who developed a mass on the left mandibular body region. The tumor was excised along with mental nerve at the level of the mental foramen. The tumor on pathologic and immunohistochemical evaluation was diagnosed as LGFMS.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate
paranasal sinus pathoses detected on cone-beam
computed tomography (CBCT) in an adult population. Patients and Methods: Three observers retrospectively
inspected 353 consecutive CBCT scans obtained in a
dentomaxillofacial radiology department for paranasal sinus
pathoses. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were
used to determine the prevalence of categorical parameters. Results: The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 85 years
(mean 41.27±16.76). There were 172 (48.7%) females and
181 (51.3%) males. There was a significant difference between
the genders (p=0.02), with males (53.5%) having more sinus
pathoses than females (46.5%). When the left and right sinuses
were considered together, pathoses were most commonly seen
in the maxillary sinuses (57.1%), followed by the ethmoid (53.7
%), frontal (22.6%), and sphenoid sinuses (15.8%). Mucosal
thickening was the most frequently observed abnormality
(51.7%), followed by hypoplasia (17.5%) and sinusitis (17.3%). Conclusion: CBCT is a preferable imaging method for
evaluation of paranasal sinuses. Dentomaxillofacial
radiologists should examine the whole volume of CBCT images
to ensure they do not overlook paranasal sinus pathoses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the usefulness of four imaging modalities in visualizing various foreign bodies of different sizes. METHODS Foreign bodies of four sizes (0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mm) including metal, tooth, wood, plastic, stone, glass and graphite were embedded in six fresh sheep heads on bone surface between the corpus mandible and muscle, and inside the tongue muscle. A human dry skull served as an air-filled space. Plain radiography, CT, MRI and ultrasonography were used, and four skilled radiologists rated the findings individually. RESULTS All embedded foreign bodies except wood were best visualized using CT. Wood could only be detected using ultrasonography, and then only when fragments were >0.5 mm in size. Plain radiography and CT were almost equally accurate in visualizing metal and graphite. MRI was the least useful imaging technique. CONCLUSIONS In cases with suspected foreign bodies in the maxillofacial region, CT seems to be the optimal initial imaging study. Wood, however, could only be detected using ultrasonography.

Abstract
Osteoma is a benign osteogenic lesion with a very slow growth, characterized by proliferation of either cancellous or compact bone. Depending on its location, osteoma may be classified as central, peripheral or extraskeletal type. Although peripheral osteomas of the upper jaw are rare, diagnosticians can however encounter them in their clinical practice, which are probably misdiagnosed. These should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any slow-growing, non-tender, bony hard, non-compressible, non-fluctuant and non-pulsatile swelling present on the Oral and Maxillofacial region. We report a rare case of maxillary peripheral osteoma in a 50-year-old female patient. To best of our knowledge this is the eleventh case of maxillary osteoma reported in the English language literature.

Abstract
Injuries in the maxillofacial region with knife in situ are not common. We report a rare case with knife impacted in the orbit, maxilla and soft palate. Removal was possible only by surgical intervention. Despite the deep penetration, the knife had not injured major structures and hence there was no untoward complication in the outcome.
