    Abstract The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyse a series of patients with posterior mandibular atrophy rehabilitated with custom-made subperiosteal implants. The study included patients with severe posterior mandibular atrophy who had undergone rehabilitation with subperiosteal implants between September 2018 and August 2022 in the Maxillofacial Surgery Operative Unit of the University Hospital of Sassari. Complications and the success rate were reviewed. Data from 30 implants placed in 17 patients were included and analysed. There were no major complications during the surgeries. The main postoperative sequela was oedema, which was reported as moderate by most patients and had completely regressed within 10 days of surgery. No partial or complete exposures, infections, or loss of the implants were detected during follow-up (average follow-up 22.5 months). Control computed tomography scans, performed at 6 months and then annually in all cases, did not show significant bone loss below the abutments, displacement of the implants, or loss or loosening of the osteosynthesis screws. Subperiosteal implants may represent a safe and reliable technique for the rehabilitation of severe atrophy of the posterior mandible. Prospective studies with a long follow-up will be needed to establish the long-term results of this type of implant-prosthetic rehabilitation.

    Abstract At the beginning of 2021, the scientific community realized the burden of COVID-19-related persistent olfactory disorders (ODs). The percentage of those infected with COVID-19 who developed severe and persistent ODs [1-3] with devastating effects on their quality of life was 5 to 40% [4,5].

    Abstract Background: The coronal incision represents the cornerstone for the treatment of upper-third maxillofacial pathologies. However, this approach leaves long scars that in numerous patients, it can cause extensive surrounding alopecia and sensory skin deficits. This clinical evidence prompted the authors to propose a full pretrichial incision, the crown incision, in order to overcome these drawbacks.
    Methods: A retrospective study was performed to investigate and report the aesthetic and functional outcomes of 15 patients treated with this new approach.
    Results: In the postoperative period, no major or minor complications were detected. The aesthetic evaluation of the scar by the operator and the patient showed overlapping results. The overall rating was 2.93 for the patient and 2.87 for the surgeon, on a scale from 0 (as normal skin) to 10 (very different from normal skin). The recovery of sensitivity in the innervation territories of the supratrochlear and supraorbital nerves was found to be complete in 14 patients. In one case, the sharp/blunt discriminative sensitivity was absent in all three points assessed.
    Conclusions: This study showed the crown incision to be a safe approach with an optimal recovery of scalp sensitivity and excellent aesthetic results even in bald patients. Therefore, it can be considered a valid aesthetic and effective alternative to the classic coronal approach and should form part of the craniomaxillofacial surgical armamentarium.
