Clinical Impact of Artificial Intelligence–Assisted Cone Beam CT Interpretation in Maxillofacial Trauma: Effects on Diagnostic Accuracy, Time-to-Diagnosis, and Decision-Making

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

This study demonstrates that AI-assisted interpretation of DVT images enables near-perfect detection of maxillofacial fractures while significantly reducing diagnostic time. The benefit is most pronounced for junior surgeons, highlighting the clinical value of AI as a decision-support tool in emergency maxillofacial trauma care.

External Multicenter Validation of an Artificial Intelligence System for Cone-Beam CT–Based Detection of Maxillofacial Fractures: Robustness Across a Tertiary Facial Trauma Clinic and an Independent Maxillofacial Practice

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

This multicenter study externally validated an artificial intelligence (AI) system for detecting maxillofacial fractures on cone-beam CT (DVT) scans. The AI demonstrated high sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy across both a tertiary trauma clinic in Zurich and an independent maxillofacial practice in Munich. Performance was comparable to senior clinicians, significantly faster than human interpretation, and robust across different clinical settings.

Artificial Intelligence–Assisted Decision Support in Emergency Maxillofacial Trauma Imaging: Development and Validation of a CBCT-Based Clinical Decision Algorithm

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

This study developed and validated an AI-assisted, CBCT-based clinical decision support algorithm for emergency maxillofacial trauma that translates automated fracture detection into standardized management recommendations. The algorithm showed high concordance with expert consensus, reduced decision variability and time, and safely supported clinical decision-making across different institutional settings.

Does Surgical Sequencing Still Matter in Fully Digital Bimaxillary Orthognathic Surgery?
A Retrospective Accuracy Study of 46 PSI‑Guided Cases

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

Digital precision meets clinical decision-making: This study shows that in PSI-guided bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, both mandible-first and maxilla-first sequences achieve equally high accuracy. Virtual surgical planning ensures predictable, patient-specific outcomes, highlighting that technology can transcend traditional sequencing debates.

Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Detection of Maxillofacial Fractures on Digital Volume Tomography: Retrospective Study of 150 Patients

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

This retrospective study evaluated a deep learning-based AI model for detecting maxillofacial fractures on Digital Volume Tomography (DVT) in 150 patients. The AI achieved near-perfect accuracy (98%) and outperformed junior clinicians, while matching the performance of senior experts. These findings highlight AI’s potential to accelerate diagnosis, reduce missed fractures, and improve emergency trauma care workflows.

Mandibular Reconstruction with Fibula Flap and Dental Implants Through Virtual Surgical Planning: A Systematic Review of Three Techniques

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

This systematic review evaluates mandibular reconstruction with fibula flaps and dental implants using virtual surgical planning. It compares three techniques—double-barrel flap, CAD/CAM titanium mesh with iliac crest graft, and fibula flap with intraoperative dynamic navigation—focusing on vertical bone reconstruction, implant survival, and functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Occlusal Splint versus Botulinum Toxin Type A in the Management of Jaw Muscle Pain

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), affecting the jaw joint and masticatory muscles, are a leading cause of facial pain and functional impairment. This study compares occlusal splints and botulinum toxin type A for managing jaw muscle pain in probable sleep bruxism, revealing surprisingly similar effectiveness.

Success Rate and Complications of Single Immediate Implants in Different Dental Regions: A Clinical Study

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

The study demonstrates that single immediate implant placement in both anterior and posterior regions achieves very high success rates with minimal biological and technical complications, while aesthetic issues were more frequent but generally manageable with soft tissue augmentation. Immediate restoration supported the preservation of midfacial gingival contours and interdental papillae, and overall patient satisfaction was very high.

Mandibular Reconstruction With Fibula Flap and Dental Implants: A Comparative Literature Review of Contemporary Reconstructive Techniques

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

Mandibular reconstruction using a fibula flap combined with dental implants has been significantly enhanced by virtual surgical planning and digital technologies. The double-barrel fibula flap, CAD/CAM titanium mesh with iliac crest graft, and dynamic implant navigation all provide predictable vertical reconstruction and high implant survival rates. Technique selection should be individualized based on defect characteristics, radiotherapy requirements, and timing of implant rehabilitation.

Gunshot suicide and the interdisciplinary management of a complex craniofacial injury: A case report and review of literature

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

Suicide ranks among the causes of death in industrialized nations. The authors present a case demonstrating how a firearm-related suicide attempt can be effectively managed and how long-term quality of life may be significantly improved through appropriate medical and psychological intervention.

Modified micro-marsupialization as an alternative treatment for ranulas

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

The standard treatment for a resistant salivary stone in the sublingual gland is gland removal. However, the authors show that this is not always necessary — the gland can be preserved by creating bypasses using sutures as new ducts. This spares the patient surgery and reduces strain on healthcare resources.

Maternal Peri- and Postconceptional Folic Acid Supplementation and Ankyloglossia in Newborns

Yildirim A., Hertach R., and Yildirim V.

This study identifies a strong association between maternal peri- and postconceptional folic acid supplementation and ankyloglossia in newborns. While folic acid remains essential for neural tube defect prevention, the findings suggest a potential influence of folate on midline tissue development, warranting further prospective research before any changes to current supplementation guidelines are considered.
