As a clinician active in the management of patients with malignant tumors of the oral cavity, I was hoping for an increased support of the costly and time-consuming interventions undertaken on behalf of patients with oral cancer. Despite its title, however, the article did not identify a survival advantage to treatment by a microvascular free tissue transfer or a locoregional flap. In fact, the article identified rates of recurrence of nearly 50% for either study group. What this indicates to me is that the biologic behavior of the tumor is the determining factor in survival.

The range of incisor motion and condylar movement did not correlate. The deterioration in mandibular motion after OGS can recover totally within 6 months. At T3, the mandibular movement remained consistent with the amount in normal subjects.

In addition, these missions allowed the residents to develop as surgeons and improve their awareness of global health care and cultural competence. Given these important educational aspects, participation in a humanitarian mission should be considered a required part of residency training.

The molecular mechanisms that cause the different forms of MD vary, as do the incidence and impact on a patient's quality of life. The most common form, Duchenne MD, follows an X-linked inheritance pattern and occurs with an incidence of approximately 1 in 3,500 live-born male infants. However, rarer forms such as congenital MD (CMD) also exist. CMD has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern that, according to 1 Italian sample, has an incidence of only 0.7 per 100,000 live births. CMD is characterized by severe muscle hypotonia (first noticeable at birth or within the first months of life), generalized muscle weakness, and muscle contractures of varying severity that result in delayed or missed developmental mot...

The posterior airway space showed the highest significant positive correlation with the movement of PNS. The posterior and superoposterior airway spaces also showed significant positive correlations with the maxillary skeletal variables.

With the use of this method, nerve injury upon removal of an impacted tooth with a fibro-osseous lesion (FOL) continuous with the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) could be avoided. This procedure was performed with high-resolution 3-dimensional (3D) volume rendering (3DVR) magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) on a 3.0-T system.

When the fragments are small, surgical removal of the displaced roots seems to be unnecessary, because patients usually remain symptom free. When surgery is needed, a considerable incidence of complications should be expected.

I confess having little success thinking like an economist, a point perhaps explaining the draw of an academic career. Over the years, however, I have found that the broad strokes of economic concepts—despite my ignorance—often resonate with my circumstances.

EPTB constitutes 15% to 20% of all cases of TB among immunocompetent adults, and it accounts for more than 50% of the cases in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive individuals. Reports from different parts of the world indicate an increasing trend in the proportion of EPTB among all TB cases. The HIV pandemic, improved case recruitment because of expanding services, reduction in infectious TB, and immigration resulting in changing demographics have been cited as causes for the increasing proportion of EPTB.

The mass had developed gradually during the past few years. A history of trauma was denied. No bruit could be heard on auscultation or surrounding the mass. Three weeks after an incisional biopsy, the swelling rapidly increased in size and became more painful, although on clinical examination, the patient was not in distress.

In the past, various attempts were made to use endoscopes in different fields of oral surgery. Held et al first used endoscopes as a tool for periradicular surgery. Bahcall and Barss recommended endoscopic imaging of the root canal as a possible future technique during nonoperative endodontic treatment. Engelke and Deckwer used maxillary endoscopy to control the preparation of the subantral space for sinus floor augmentation. Ozawa et al and Stambaugh developed flexible endoscopes with integrated irrigation systems for observation of the periodontal sulcus. For support-immersion endoscopy, the endoscope is placed inside the anatomic cavities and supported at any part of the cavit...

Whether a particular treatment or operation improves, cures, or worsens a patient's affliction sometimes depends on from whose vantage point the assessment is made. Too often, as surgeons, it is all about our operation, rather than how its effect is perceived by our patient. Repairing or replacing injured or lost neuroanatomy and restoring the transmission of sensory impulses from the periphery might not ensure that painful, bizarre, or lost sensory function will resolve in any particular patient. Sometimes, as noted by Pogrel et al, patients have achieved a satisfactory outcome without surgical treatment or an o...

The purpose of our review was to provide a rationale and understanding of the value of opioids in the management of chronic noncancer pain such as temporomandibular joint pain. The omission of tapentadol, transdermal buprenorphine, and oxymorphone resulted from a paucity of independent studies addressing these drugs in this patient group. This is particularly the case for tapentadol and transdermal buprenorphine. Tapentadol is a relatively new drug, and both a μ receptor agonist and a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, resulting in 2 potentially different mechanisms for treating acute and chronic pain, respectively. Buprenorp...

Appropriately, the review discussed the biopsychosocial model of chronic pain, issues of risk and benefit (consistent with the guidelines), adjunct pain medications, and monitoring of use and misuse. Some available products were compared based on how well their characteristics match “the ideal opioid.” However, the regrettable reality is that no opioid remains “ideal” for a given patient indefinitely. Commonly, opioids must be periodically switched or rotated due to waning efficacy or the emergence of intolerable side effects.

In response to this experience, perhaps it is best that clinicians also look into the presence of the mandibular incisive canal (and its nerve), in addition to the anterior mental loop, during preoperative implant surgery planning. This is because both nerves have been found to go hand in hand in their course at the interforaminal region. In a cadaveric study, Gustinna Wadu et al discovered that the branching of the inferior alveolar nerve to the mental and incisive ner...

Most program directors believe having their residents participate in research is important. However, residents, for the most part, do not share that opinion, particularly if they have no plans to enter academics. (The survey response rate for program directors was 43% and for the residents was 29%.) Residents responding to the survey also did not seem anxious to have a mandatory research year implemented. In addition, even when residents seek, or are expected to do research, the time to do so is often inadequate.

TMJ arthroscopy is popular because of both its diagnostic potential and its therapeutic potential. Typically, operative arthroscopic surgery involves placement of 3 portals to allow triangulation. The learning curve with the triangulation technique of arthroscopy is steep and technique sensitive. Because of this fact, many younger surgeons are abandoning operative arthroscopy or simply not trained in the technique at all. We propose a simple method of single-cannula operative arthroscopy with a holmium:YAG (yttrium-aluminum-garnet) laser using a specialized cannula (). (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxill...

The light activates the photosensitizer, which interacts with molecular oxygen to produce an excited state. This results in the production of oxygen free radicals or the formation of intracellular singlet oxygen, which causes cell death. The direct cytotoxic activity and microvascular damage contribute to the destruction of abnormal/tumor cells, which is manifested as swelling and the formation of necrotic tissue.

The results we obtained through the study progressed in accordance with our expectations and were not surprising. We mostly apply a midazolam-fentanyl combination in our clinic. We aimed to support our vision with a clinical study because tramadol causes less respiratory depression and we expected a stronger postoperative analgesic effect.

As mentioned in the letter, unlike occulocardiac reflex and the central subtypes faced in the neurosurgery field, the trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) has been less studied in the field of craniomaxillofacial surgery. The studies of Bohluli et al, which to the best of our knowledge stand among the few to have systematically assessed the reflex, have greatly contributed to the understanding of some crucial aspects of TCR. From our personal experience, cardiac responses to the manipulative procedures of Le Fort and orthognathic surgeries, as well as other maxillofacial procedures, are quite common. However, the intensity of these bradycardiac responses seems to be totally dependent on the intensity...

Currently, TCR is defined as a sudden decrease in the heart rate (HR) and the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) by more than 20% after manipulation at or around any branches of the trigeminal nerve. Indeed, TCR has received little attention from the oral and maxillofacial surgery profession, and only a few studies have been conducted to elucidate its incidence, its complicating effects, and its clinical and surgical management.

Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) and distraction osteogenesis (DO) are associated with their respective advantages and disadvantages. However, in this technique, it is not the disadvantages but rather the advantages of BSSO and DO that are combined, especially in terms of stability, soft tissue manipulation, and a lower relapse potential. Differential growth and conventional orthognathic procedures become more difficult and less predictable when correcting severe mandibular deficiencies requiring lengthening more than 8 to 10 mm, as described by many investigators. When advancement is more than 10 mm, the area of conta...

Since the 1990s, DO has been advocated as an alternative for bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO), with probably fewer disturbances of the inferior alveolar nerve and better stability. However, more recent research has indicated that the 2 treatment modalities are more or less equal in these aspects. The risk of nerve damage in the BSSO procedure is related to the identification of the mandibular foramen and to the sagittal splitting itself, with the probability of the nerve being in the wrong (proximal) bone fragment after the split. These 2 issues can be avoided with DO in the region of the third molar. Thus, the first reports on DO were very optimistic about t...

Many esthetic differences regarding the malar prominence exist between Asians and whites. In the West, augmentation malarplasty is performed mainly because a slightly prominent malar is believed to be esthetically pleasing. In contrast, in the East, a prominent malar is believed to project an aggressive and unpleasing impression, particularly for women. Therefore, many reduction malarplasty procedures have been developed. For reduction malarplasty, bone shaving, infracture, and I-shaped and L-shaped osteotomy methods have been used.

Most population-based research uses chondrocalcinosis as the basis for the presence of CPPD, and this is strongly associated with an increase in age. Of the patients older than 60 years, 6% to 15% demonstrate radiologic signs of chondrocalcinosis. For those older than 80 years, the prevalence increases to 30% to 40%.

The poor correlation between factor VII levels and the expression of clinical manifestations in the form of bleeding makes this an interesting disease. The present report describes a patient with a previously undiagnosed factor VII deficiency who underwent orthognathic surgery and the evidence that led to the diagnosis. We also discuss briefly the role of factor VII in coagulation, stratification of the deficiency, and the clinical manifestations and management of the disorder.

Males and females appear to be equally affected, with an annual incidence of 3 to 4 per million. The diagnosis of the disease often occurs late, with an average age of 40 years, owing to its insidious onset and slow progression. The prominent cosmetic features include enlarged extremities, thickened skin, widened nose, prominent cheekbones, course facial lines, and, occasionally, frontal bossing. The oral manifestations include mandibular overgrowth, resulting in prognathism, maxillary widening, dental malocclusion, macroglossia, and enlarged lips.

Patients with traumatic facial injuries, severe odontogenic infections, and head and neck malignancies are often recipients of tracheostomies. As such, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon who frequently treats such patients should be well-trained in tracheostomy placement. For decades, the standard technique for tracheostomy was the open surgical technique. However, during the past 20 years, the use of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy has increased. The purpose of the present report is to review the percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy technique, describe the use of intensive care units as proxies for the operating room, and review the available evidence comparing percut...

It is the most common benign tumor of the long bones but is relatively rare in the facial skeleton, where it most commonly affects the coronoid process, followed by the condyle. As osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle almost always presents as an anteromedial growth along the direction of the lateral pterygoid muscle, the presenting complaints are usually associated with decreased mouth opening and deviation in mouth opening toward the unaffected side.

It occurs sporadically and is known to be non-contagious. Although human rhinosporidiosis occurs universally, in parts of South Asia, it is endemic, especially in South India and Sri Lanka. The most common site of infection in humans is the nose. Other sites include the nasopharynx, larynx, oropharynx, conjunctiva, lacrimal sac, and genital mucosa. Intraorally, rhinosporidiosis is known to involve the lip, palate, and uvula secondarily, by direct extension from nasal and nasopharyngeal lesions.
