This will focus on either underresection or overresection of tissues and the ensuing clinical result. We also discuss some select problems associated with manipulation of tissues via suturing or grafting and briefly discuss functional considerations in secondary surgery. We advocate an open approach when performing most revision rhinoplasty. Visualization and access provided by the open approach enables the surgeon to achieve treatment goals in a more predictable fashion, however, particularly in cases requiring extensive grafting or when a different surgeon performed the previous rhinoplasty.

Correction of the deviated nose is unique in that the patient's complaints frequently include aesthetic and functional characteristics. Equal importance should be given to the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative aspects of the patient's treatment to ensure a favorable outcome.

The osteotomy is performed using several methods, although the internal continuous and external perforator are the main ways to perform the lateral osteotomy. Most other techniques are modifications of these basic methods. The purpose of this article is to review the essential concepts of nasal hump surgery and lateral osteotomy as used in cosmetic rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty in general is challenging, particularly in the ethnic population. When considering rhinoplasty in ethnic patients one must determine their aesthetic goals, which in many cases might deviate from the so-called norm of the “North European nose.” An experienced rhinoplastic surgeon should be able to navigate his or her way through the nuances of the various ethnic subsets. Keeping this in mind and following the established tenets in rhinoplasty, one can expect a pleasing and congruous nose without radically violating ethnicity.

As in most cosmetic procedures, the vast majority of advances for rhinoplasty are from the teachings of surgical skill sets to younger surgeons through operative training, textbooks, lectures, and symposia. The difficulty of developing randomized or prospective cohort studies and multicenter analysis for cosmetic procedures contributes to the progression via traditional (non-research-based) modes of teaching. Cosmetic surgery is unique among other surgical specialties due to changing trends and racial and regional ethnic preferences that drive patients’ desires to what is considered an esthetic result.

The internal technique of the rhinoplasty should be in the armamentarium of every cosmetic surgeon. There will always be indications for both internal and external rhinoplasty. The advantages of the internal technique are several. Rhinoplasty should be treatment planned based on the individual diagnosis. With experience, most surgeons find the internal rhinoplasty to be successful and extremely rewarding. A simple internal rhinoplasty will produce a good result and satisfied patients.

Surgeons from several specialties perform surgical alterations of the external and internal nose; however, many of the advancements have been kept within the literature of their respective fields. It would be wise for rhinoplasty surgeons to have solid understanding of the form and function of the nose so that they may bridge the gaps of their specialty and provide the best possible care for their patients.

The company has over 10,000 closed malpractice claims involving oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Data and trends involving infections that developed following elective surgical procedures and trends involving patients with preexisting odontogenic infections with adverse outcomes are well known to the company. Seven percent of the 10,000+ closed claims involve infections. Recognition and diagnosis of the infection leads to appropriate and timely treatment of infections. Delayed recognition, consultation, and referral leads to delay in the institution of appropriate treatment and can lead to adverse outcomes. (Source:...

The literature is replete with anecdotal case reports of CNS infections of apparent dental etiology. Conversely, it is widely cited that the incidence of CNS infection of dental etiology is only in the range of 1% to 2%.

Environmental contamination by trace amounts of antibiotics and highly resistant bacteria can lead to resistant infections in humans. Oral and maxillofacial infections are largely mediated by biofilms, which are resistant to antibiotics. Primary treatment is surgical debridement, removal of the cause of the infection, and drainage of pus. Current best practices indicate the use of antibiotics as adjunctive therapy to surgery only when regional, distant, or systemic spread of the infection is a significant risk.

Given the known risks of antibiotic treatment and lack of consensus on using antibiotics at the time of implant insertion, the purpose of this article was to review available studies on use of perioperative prophylactic antibiotics at the time of implant placement and to provide evidence-based recommendations for antibiotic use. The reviewed studies suggest that a single preoperative dose of 2 g amoxicillin 1 hour before implant placement or 1 g amoxicillin 1 hour preoperatively and 500 mg 4 times daily 2 days postoperatively can reduce the rate of implant failure.

Molecular medicine now raises the opposite question: can local oral infections and their inflammatory mediators increase systemic morbidity or mortality?

The current theory in its pathophysiology is thought to be radiation-induced fibroatrophy of the bone. Location of primary tumor, stage of cancer, dose of radiation, oral hygiene, and smoking and alcohol use are risk factors in the development of ORN. Prevention is focused on thorough dental care before, during, and after radiation therapy. Treatment ranges from conservative management with oral rinses and local debridement to radical resection with microvascular free tissue transfer and reconstruction.

The past twenty years have largely focused upon refining bone grafting modalities almost unchanged conceptually from early efforts reported by maxillofacial surgeons a century ago. But now, with the advent of Wozney and Rosen’s discovery and cloning of morphogenetic proteins, as well as the explosion of stem cell-based therapies and the use of biomedical scaffolds, tissue replacement appears for the first time to be poised to enter an era of definitive repair of missing structures de novo. This includes bone, gingiva, cementum, periodontal ligament, and eventually the dental organ itself. (Source: Oral and Maxi...

Modern imaging technology and the aggressive stance taken on appropriate primary repair make it likely that surgeons will see fewer minor cases and increased numbers of major cases. The choice of reconstructive material should be evidence-based rather than based on surgical preference. Of crucial importance to the management of all traumas, particularly in revisional surgery, is attention to the soft tissue envelope, which adds to the postoperative result, and may camouflage minor degrees of enophthalmos.

However, insufficient bone volume or unfavorable intermaxillary relationships may render implant placement impossible or incorrect from a functional and esthetic viewpoint. Among the different methods for the reconstruction of deficient alveolar ridges, the use of autogenous bone blocks represents the most frequently used treatment modality both for limited and extended bone defects. Prerequisites for a successful outcome are represented by accurate preoperative planning, proper reconstructive procedure, and adequate prosthetic rehabilitation.

Soft tissue deformities continue to be some of the most challenging, especially as they relate to the orbit, but continually evolving techniques offer improved results for volume corrections to treat enophthalmos and diplopia. Conventional orthognathic and reconstructive rhinoplasty techniques can also be applied to great effect and with satisfying results to treat posttraumatic malocclusions and nasal deformities.

The office of the OMS is traditionally one in which short outpatient procedures are performed within brief appointment times often using only local anesthesia.

Surgeons all desire a “short and sweet” checklist evaluation that tells them if it is safe for the patient to undergo an elective surgical procedure. Obviously, this is wishful thinking. It is asking too much for surgeons to be able to quantify the overall psychological risk. Rather, they should objectively screen, review, and evaluate as many of the variables as possible. These include but are not limited to the surgical issue, the personality of the patient, the patient's family and/or relationships, and the overall context of the situation.

Patients may experience depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, or an exacerbation of preexisting symptoms related to body dysmorphic disorder. Some have directed anger against themselves or against the operating surgeon with suicide, litigation, harassment, and homicide, all well documented. Although there are well-established protocols to conduct medical and anesthetic risk stratification, such protocols do not exist for psychological risk assessment (PRA). The literature related to this is reviewed, the need for PRA is discussed, and an approach to PRA for dentists and surgeons is proposed.

Preprosthetic surgery is almost a lost art, but the surgical techniques necessary for alveolar reconstruction or implant site preparation have become much more complex and variable. The surgical art of ridge reconstruction in preparation for dental implants in many ways has become more important and complex than the simple placement of dental implants. The final prosthetic result depends on creating the correct alveolar arch morphology, alignment, and symmetry. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMSs) are best trained to address this unique surgical niche.

Further exacerbating this issue are significant rates of injury recidivism and the lack of motivation to seek treatment for underlying substance-use problems.

Most injuries are assaultive in origin, suggesting poor impulse control and maladaptive social behaviors. Compared with matched control populations, patients with orofacial injuries are more likely to report higher levels of substance use behaviors and to manifest greater levels of hostility, anxiety, and depression. Although they have significantly greater current and lifetime need for mental health service and social service, actual use of social services is low. The underlying psychosocial characteristics of many patients with orofacial injury, along with unmet service needs, render them vulnerable for...

Beyond the substantial burden of disease with respect to economic cost and human suffering, the intentional nature of the injury renders it a major risk factor for reinjury. Most of these injuries tend to derive from impulsive actions, often against a background of recent substance use, alcoholism, severe stress, or psychosocial–behavioral difficulties. In many instances, the traumatic stressor sets the stage for subsequent psychosocial sequelae that can be as disabling as any physical handicap, negatively affecting recovery and quality of life.

Skin closure occurs regularly with cyanoacrylate adhesives. Sealing of dural tears in conjunction with dural closure has been shown to be very successful. With the development of more head and neck reconstructive procedures and cosmetic procedures, demand will increase for better surgical adhesives. Clinical trials are beginning for newly developed adhesives with the chemical characterizations, the safe reabsorptive profile, and the adhesive strength necessary to benefit oral and maxillofacial surgery patients in the near future. Adhesives for bone fixation, while in early development, also show a promising chemical profile and will be of significant benefit to oral and maxillofacial su...

Surgeons can use the latest technological advances in equipment in an attempt to improve patient outcomes. Minimally invasive surgery with the use of the endoscope has improved in recent years because of technological advancements in optics and associated instrumentation. Trauma, orthognathic, sialoendoscopy, and temporomandibular joint surgery are commonly performed with the assistance of the endoscope. From an educational standpoint, surgical anatomy and various other principles can easily be taught to trainees with the assistance of the endoscope. The operating surgeon can visualize an area via the endoscope, and instruct regarding the surgical maneuvers on the monitor, without obstructions to view. This technique also allows others ...

Although probably not necessary for routine use, the author's early experience confirms that of other surgeons with more than a decade of experience: computer-assisted surgery is indicated for complex posttraumatic or postablative reconstruction of the orbits, cranium, maxilla, and mandible; total temporomandibular joint replacement; orthognathic surgery; and complex dental/craniofacial implantology. Further study is needed to provide outcomes data and cost-benefit analyses for each of these indications.
