Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Traditionally, extensive bone grafting approaches have been considered as the gold standard for the rehabilitation of patients presenting extremely resorbed maxilla. For the last years, new approaches, new tools and new regenerative materials have been developed to improve the management and the outcomes for these challenging rehabilitations. A “patient-centric” perspective working toward an immediate normalization of quality of life seems to be the fundamental goal, with this being achieved by means of shortening the length and augmenting the predictability of the treatments.

The use of zygomatic implants, short implants, pterygoid implants, tilted implants or patient-specific implants (subperiostal implants) has undergone major developments. With the assistance of digital diagnostic and computer-aided surgery (static and dynamic) techniques, the accuracy of surgical performance and the outcomes could be improved in term of less risks and complications. The application of robotic surgery and Artificial Intelligence represent an emerging field that could lead to new advances and challenges.

This Special Issue searches for the current state and trends in the diagnosis and clinical management of the rehabilitation of extremely resorbed maxilla, in order to provide guidance and recommendations for clinical treatment.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background: Assessing the morphology of the superior airway space is a crucial diagnostic step in the treatment planning of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) or prior to orthognathic surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the necessary scope of a two-dimensional cephalometric assessment and the necessity of three-dimensional imaging in the identification of superior airway space narrowing (SASN). Methods: The computed tomography studies of 100 non-obese, non-OSAS patients were evaluated and analyzed retrospectively. Multiplanar reconstructions were created and underwent cephalometric evaluation. The three-dimensional superior airway morphology was segmented and measured for the minimal cross-sectional area (Amin) and volume (V0). Patients were grouped according to Amin < 80 mm2 and V0 < 12 cm3. Cephalometric parameters (CPs) were analyzed according to Amin and V0 with an unpaired t-test, Pearson correlation, and ROC-curve analysis. Results: The CPs regarding sagittal airway space dimensions (IPAS, MPAS, SPAS) and mandibular body length (GoGn) show the strongest correlation to the three-dimensional minimal cross-sectional area (Amin). The ROC-curve analysis classifying for SASN led to an AUC of 0.86 for IPAS, 0.87 for MPAS, 0.88 for SPAS, and 0.63 for GoGn. Three-dimensional imaging may further improve the diagnostic accuracy in the identification of SASN for IPAS below 13.5 mm, MPAS below 10.2 mm, SPAS below 12.5 mm, and GoGn below 90.2 mm. Conclusions: Two-dimensional cephalometric sagittal airway space diameters and mandibular body length are useful initial screening parameters in the identification of superior airway space narrowing. Nevertheless, as the correlation of two-dimensional cephalometric parameters with three-dimensional upper airway space narrowing is varying and highly dependent on acquisition circumstances, indications for three-dimensional imaging, if possible, in the supine position to evaluate upper airway space morphology should be provided generously, especially in patients with low but normal airway space parameters in two-dimensional cephalometry.
