Post-operative alveolitis is a topical issue in dental practice, which is also reflected by the etiopathogenic aspects. The conservative principle requires the maintenance of dento-periodontal units in the arch for as long as possible, but there are situations where dental extraction is required. The healing process of the post-surgical wound is complex and involves processes of gingival mucosal regeneration and bone reshaping, involving several local factors: wound size, presence of infection, alveolar vascularization, intraalveolar foreign bodies, and general factors, especially general condition, age and body reactivity. The quality, structure, maintenance, and retraction of the clot are key factors in the formation of connective tissue during the healing of the post-extraction would. At the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic of Gala�i, during a 2-year period between January 2015 and December 30, 2016, 2780 patients that required surgery - dental extraction were consulted and diagnosed. We found that among those 2780 patients with dental extractions 105 (3.77%) had post-treatment alveolitis. No post-surgical alveolitis from the case study was complicated by osteomyelitis of the jaws or by suppurations of the superficial or deep compartments of the face. The prophylactic measures in each dental extraction, together with the correct and timely curative treatment, combined with the dentist�s competence and responsibility, can shorten the time of suffering, actively combating the risk factor and accelerating the social reintegration of the patient with post-treatment alveolitis.

Facial cosmetic surgery is rapidly being incorporated into the contemporary oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practice. The Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA), the accreditation body for American Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residencies, mandates a minimum requirement in 4 major categories. Facial cosmetic surgery procedures are included in the “Facial Cosmetic and Reconstruction” category. This requirement stipulates that each graduating resident must complete at least 20 facial cosmetic and/or facial reconstructive procedures. We hypothesized that some OMS programs meet and exceed the minimum graduation requirement set forth by the CODA in the facial cosmetic and reconstruction category solely with cosmetic procedures. We also speculated that some OMS programs surpassed the minimal graduation requirements of medical specialties most commonly associated with performing facial cosmetic procedures. Finally, the research was intended to investigate whether there was a difference, in terms of cosmetic surgery experience, between 4-year OMS certificate programs and OMS programs with an incorporated medical degree (dual degree or 6-year program). Surveys were sent to all 102 CODA-accredited OMS programs. These data were analyzed to evaluate the total number of facial cosmetic procedures completed at each institution over a 5-year period and the average number of facial cosmetic surgery procedures per chief resident. In addition, a comparison was made between single and dual degree programs. Finally, these numbers were compared with medical residencies/fellowship accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Twenty-two of 102 programs returned the survey. Over the 5-year period (2011-2016), accredited OMS programs completed an average of 211 facial cosmetic procedures ranging from zero procedures to 1073. Genioplasties and rhinoplasties were the most common facial cosmetic surgery procedures tallied. Four-year OMS programs completed 20.3 procedures per chief resident while dual degree programs completed 9.7 cases on average. OMS programs with the largest volume of cases reached and exceeded many of the minimum procedure requirements set forth by plastic and reconstructive surgery residency programs and American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Fellowships. With the vast differences among training requirements, it is challenging to assess what is a reasonable number of procedures to ensure a surgeon is comfortable and, more importantly, competent and proficient. When compared with the variability of requirements from medical specialties that commonly perform facial cosmetic procedures, the data support that comprehensive experience in facial cosmetic surgery is attainable within American Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residencies.

Orofacial Cleft

Objective: To ascertain the level of utilization of social media platforms and search engines by parents of children with orofacial cleft presenting to our clinic, with respect to information seeking about the condition and its treatment. Materials and Methods: All consenting parents of children attending the cleft outpatient clinic of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Lagos, within the study period were included in the sample population. Data collection was done using a 17-item interviewer-administered questionnaire. Results: A total of 50 parents participated in the study. Eighty-eight percent first sought information about their child’s condition from hospital medical staff. Sixty-eight percent of the parents are active users of social media for general purposes, with Facebook being the most used platform (62%). Forty percent of the total respondents have used search engines/social media to seek information on their child’s condition, with majority of those (80%) using Google to search for such information, 35% of the search was in relation to diagnosis, and 75% of the parents considered the information obtained very useful. Only 3 parents reported being part of a social media support group based on their child’s condition. Conclusion: The use of Internet resources for information seeking among the population studied is low. There is need to leverage on social media to provide support groups for families with children who have cleft.

AbstractSocial media have become popular platforms to disseminate information, especially related to politicized topics such as BLM and COVID-19. To better understand how medical institutions have engaged with the social media discourse on BLM and COVID-19, we examined psychiatry residency programs’ tweets in response to George Floyd’s murder and during the first 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. Only 14% of the 249 evaluated psychiatry residency programs had Twitter accounts (we included programs with their own account or their affiliated psychiatry department account) indicating a substantial absence on social media. Of those programs, 78% tweeted at least once about COVID-19 (1,153 tweets) and 56% tweeted at least once about the BLM movement (117 tweets). The top three purposes of tweets were sharing media, posting about an event, and sharing a resource.

A 42 year old patient was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Federal University of Uberlândia, for treatment of mandibular fractures (condyles and symphysis), a victim of a run over. The symphysis was surgically approached, using as surgical access the pre-existing laceration in the submental region. Five days after discharge, the patient returned with dehiscence of the wound and physical examination showed infestation by larvae in the symphysis. Mechanical removal and debridement were performed under local anesthesia, where plate exposure was noted. The patient underwent oral ivermectin therapy, intravenous antibiotic therapy and a thorough debridement was performed under general anesthesia due to the invasion of deep spaces in the supra-hyoid region. After 2 weeks, it presented with purulent drainage at the site. The miniplates were replaced by a 2.4 mm reconstruction plate and antibiotic therapy was maintained. Due to the social risk, the patient remained hospitalized for 45 days, when he was discharged with outpatient return, but did not attend the returns.
