Are Bacteria Just Bystanders in the Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Jaw Conditions?

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Are Bacteria Just Bystanders in the Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Jaw Conditions? Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery It is unclear whether certain bacteria initiate the development of inflammatory jaw conditions, or whether these diseases create a milieu for dysbiosis and secondary colonization of indigenous flora. At present, there are no comparative studies on the types of bacteria that colonize different inflammatory jaw conditions. Accordingly, this study aims to identify and compare the types of bacteria isolated in osteomyelitis, osteoradionecrosis, and MRONJ.

Females Have Worse Overall and Disease-Specific Survival In HPV-Negative Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Females Have Worse Overall and Disease-Specific Survival In HPV-Negative Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Although sex (male versus female) has been identified as an independent prognostic factor in human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), the role of sex in HPV-negative OPSCC is less understood. The purpose of this study was to measure the association between sex and HPV-negative OPSCC disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS).

Accuracy and precision of the CTA perforator localization technique for virtual surgical planning of composite osteocutaneous fibular free flaps in head and neck reconstruction.

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Accuracy and precision of the CTA perforator localization technique for virtual surgical planning of composite osteocutaneous fibular free flaps in head and neck reconstruction. Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Virtual surgical planning (VSP), computer aided design/computer aided modeling (CAD/CAM), and three-dimensional (3D) printing technology have been shown to improve surgical accuracy and efficiency in head and neck reconstruction. However, persisting criticism of the technology is that it does not adequately address the soft-tissue related aspects of the reconstructive surgery. Prior publication on the computed tomographic angiography (CTA) perforator localization technique has demonstrated how soft tissue planning can be incorporated directly into existing VSP workflows.

Are Incisional Biopsies Reliable to Select Definitive Treatment in Patients with Ameloblastoma of the Jaws? A 15-year Interdisciplinary Retrospective Study

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Are Incisional Biopsies Reliable to Select Definitive Treatment in Patients with Ameloblastoma of the Jaws? A 15-year Interdisciplinary Retrospective Study Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Ameloblastomas are tumors of odontogenic epithelium that, although benign, can have a locally aggressive course causing significant morbidity. WHO classifies ameloblastomas as 1 of 3 variants: solid/multicystic, unicystic, and peripheral. Resection, the standard treatment, is deemed curative, but can be debilitating to the patient. Unicystic subtype is considered less aggressive and could be treated with enucleation and curettage. The mercurial presentation of ameloblastomas makes the chosen treatment modality essential in decreasing the recurrence rates and associated morbidity.

Is Bone Grafting during Implant Placement a Protective Factor against the Development of Peri-implantitis? A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Is Bone Grafting during Implant Placement a Protective Factor against the Development of Peri-implantitis? A Retrospective Cohort Analysis Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery This study aims to identify if the use of bone grafting at time of implant placement is a protective factor against the development of peri-implantitis. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center from 2006 to 2013. Physician encounter notes within three months of implant placement were used to gather data about patients ' health status. Operative report notes were used to assess the use of bone grafting at time of implant placement. Implant status was assessed using dental encounter notes and radiographs from follow-up appointments at one, three, five and 10 years.

Is the Er:YAG laser effective in reducing pain, edema and trismus after removal of impacted mandibular third molars? A meta-analysis.

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Is the Er:YAG laser effective in reducing pain, edema and trismus after removal of impacted mandibular third molars? A meta-analysis. Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery : Removal of impacted third molars, can be associated with complications such as pain, edema, trismus, that can increase the morbidity of this procedure. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Er:YAG laser is effective in reducing pain, swelling and trismus compared to rotary instruments in removing impacted lower third molars (3 LM`s).
