Correction of lower lip ptosis using Mitek anchorage screws—a report of three casesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Introduction: The lips are anatomically, physiologically and aesthetically important to the facial profile. Lower lip ptosis can cause cosmetic disfigurement and also a functional deficit in terms of speech and eating.

The reliability of ultrasound scanning in the management of head and neck infectionsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Introduction: Head and neck swellings often present to departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS). It is often not clear whether a collection is present. This is the key information for decisions about operative intervention. Although ultrasound scanning (USS) is safe and widely used to investigate the presence of a collection (Peleg M. JOMS 1998;56:1129–31), sensitivity and specificity of USS in OMFS has not been assessed. The reliability of USS in identifying the presence of head and neck collections was therefore examined.

Management of acute dentoalveolar abscess and potential facial space infection—an evidence based approachEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Introduction: Dentoalveolar infections are one of the most common emergencies in a maxillofacial unit. Surgical drainage has been one of the most important factor in resolution of symptoms and the role of systemic antibiotics has therefore been thought of as an adjunct rather than a prinicipal and primary mode of treatment.

Papillary carcinoma arising from thyroglossal duct cystsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is a congenital anomaly arising from remnants of the thyroglossal duct. The duct descends from the base of tongue into the neck, to form the thyroid gland, by the seventh week of foetal development. Thyroglossal duct carcinoma is uncommon, occurring in approximately 1% of all TDC. Of these, papillary thyroid carcinoma comprises 82% of cases.

Treatment at the Noma Children Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria: report of Team 40Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Noma is a WHO health priority. Noma is an anaerobic orofacial infection which disfigures the few individuals who survive the acute phase of necrotising tissue damage, but leaves scarring, fistulae and trismus. The incidence of noma is highest in sub-Saharan Africa, with malnutrition and measles implicated in its causation. This paper outlines the work of Team 40, a charity-funded multinational team working in the world's only hospital for noma treatment, in October 2008.

The chemokine receptor CXCR4 demonstrates several features of a cancer stem cell marker in OSCCEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Introduction: The concept of cancer stem cells (CSCs) has accumulated plenty of recent evidence derived from work on solid epithelial tumours such as breast, ovary, prostate and lung. The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand SDF-1 have been identified as key to normal stem cell tissue homing and their role in CSC populations is suggested. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of the SDF1-CXCR4 axis defining a population of CSCs in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Between January 2007 and December 2008, 40 technical notes were published in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (BJOMS). These covered most of the remit of our specialty and ranged from operative surgical techniques to the use of digital photography to orientate surgical specimens. However, there would seem to be very little feedback on the value of these articles in everyday practice.

A survey of perioperative nutrition practises for head and neck oncology patients in United Kingdom hospitalsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Estimates indicate that up to 50% of patients with head and neck cancer present with malnutrition at the time of diagnosis for multiple reasons. The importance of early dietetic assessment and close monitoring throughout and after treatment in these cancer patients is widely accepted. During the perioperative period, the overall responsibility for care of the patient lies with the maxillofacial surgeon. This role gives rise to the need for understanding and active involvement of the surgeon in providing optimal levels of nutritional support.

Soft palate and hyoid bone: keepers of pharyngeal airway?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It is well established that soft palate, tongue base and hyoid bone play an important role in maintaining the pharyngeal airway. Assessment of these structures on lateral cephalometric radiographs is considered reliable indicators of the patency of the upper airway. Various studies have reported an enlarged soft palate and inferior position of hyoid bone as cephalometric features of OSA and surgical procedures aimed at addressing these elements such as UPPP and hyoid bone advancement are used to treat OSA.

Management of chronic parotid duct dilatationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Introduction: Parotid strictures can present with a history of postprandial pain and swelling. In a small number of cases this leads to gross dilatation of the parotid duct along its length, presumably due to a chronic raised intraductal pressure. The management of this condition is unclear. The treatment of nine such cases is reported.

Analysis of the compatibility of dental implant systems in fibula free flap reconstructionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The use of vascularised free flaps has revolutionised the reconstruction in head and neck surgery. In addition to restoring structure, these flaps have reduced the adverse effects of ablative surgery on patients’ oral function when compared to other reconstructive means. Dental implants, placed into osseous free flap, are being increasingly used to restore the masticatory function and improve facial profile and speech. A suitable implant site requires satisfactory width, height and quality of bone. Reconstruction of hard tissue defects therefore will need to be tailored to meet these needs.

Do guidelines for skin cancer excision margins correlate with clinical practice? Are we removing too much or too little?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: In Non Melanotic Skin Cancer (NMSC) the assessment of surgical clearance is relevant to the risk of recurrence. The aim of this prospective study of 61 patients was to investigate the assessment, and accuracy of macroscopic surgical margins in NMSC's at time of excision and compare this with the histological margins following laboratory processing using digital photography to record and measure these margins.

Analysis of 51 mandibular condyle fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We fixed 51 condyles on 44 patients. Ages ranged from 13 to 83. Our operating surgeons were SpRs (73% of cases) with consultants in 20% of cases. The most common injury pattern fixed was a condylar fracture with a contralateral parasymphysis (45% of cases) followed by bilateral condyles only (12.5% of cases). We operated on seven cases where there was an isolated condyle fracture only.

Mouth cancer as a tool for preventing or reducing smoking amongst teenagersEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Introduction: Smoking is the scourge of today's society. Mouth cancer has not been used as a tool for preventing or reducing smoking prevalence to a great degree. Previously, oral and maxillofacial surgeons have not been used to deliver messages about smoking and mouth cancer. The aim of this research was to assess whether a graphic presentation on mouth cancer victims delivered by surgeons was an effective means of preventing or reducing smoking amongst teenagers.
