Comparison of the clinical efficacy of bone grafting and bone grafting combined with guided tissue regeneration in periodontal regenerative therapy: a meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Both simple bone grafting and bone grafting combined with membrane materials have good clinical efficacy in periodontal regenerative therapy, and no significant difference in clinical efficacy is indicated between the two, with the exception of GR.PMID:38646940 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40255 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

A 5-year comprehensive evaluation of maxillofacial injuries in polytrauma patients at a tertiary hospital - an epidemiological study
CONCLUSIONS: The management of polytrauma patients should be undertaken by a team of specialists which should include a maxillofacial surgeon as facial injuries were common. This data is essential in developing and assessing the preventative strategies aimed at decreasing the frequency of facial and other injuries.PMID:38647009 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40250 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Trend in basic oral treatment needs in relation to taxation of sweets, ice cream, and sugar-sweetened beverages in Finland: a registry-based study
CONCLUSION: No change in average sugar consumption was observed despite implementing the new sugar policy. Therefore, it may be worthwhile to reconsider the excise tax on sweets and ice cream as it will significantly increase the total national revenues.PMID:38628100 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40335 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Could painful temporomandibular disorders be nociplastic in nature? A critical review and new proposal
Acta Odontol Scand. 2024 Apr 15;83:144-150. doi: 10.2340/aos.v83.40586.ABSTRACTClassification of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and, indeed, all types of orofacial pains has significantly progressed in the last decade based on international consensus work and operationalized clustering of signs and symptoms. A challenging gap nevertheless continues to exist in terms of understanding the underlying pain mechanisms and link to management. Recently, a novel mechanistic descriptor 'nociplastic pain' was introduced, and diagnostic algorithms and characteristic features were proposed. This narrative and critical review aim to...

Need for orthognathic surgery in cleft patients from Northern Finland
CONCLUSIONS: The need for orthognathic surgery was greater in the cleft lip palate and cleft palate patient groups compared to cleft lip alveolus or cleft lip groups. This study also found that males from Northern Finland need surgery more often than females.PMID:38605577 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40338 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)
