Facial Surgery

Oral and facial surgery has been practised in some form for millennia. Hippocrates himself has described reducing jaw dislocations, and Sushtra was performing reconstructive local facial flaps in India as early as sixth century BC. The modern practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) can be traced back to the battlefields of northern Europe in the early twentieth century. Industrialized warfare produced horrific facial injuries that were treated by frontline oral surgeons, and so the specialty of OMFS, as a crossover between medicine and dentistry, developed. It became evi­dent that both medical and dental education was necessary in order to manage increasingly complex facial surgery that was being undertaken. It can be argued that OMFS has evolved to be a truly general surgical specialty, manipulating the hard and soft tissues of the head and neck and having the skills to operate on neurovascular, glandular, and airway struc­tures. There is variable exposure to OMFS during dental undergraduate education and scarce exposure during medical undergraduate training. Opportunities for postgraduate training in OMFS for dentists who are not entertaining a career in the discipline are also limited. Knowledge of the scope of OMFS practice is a bare minimum for any practising dentist, as this can inform the limits of their individual competency, as well as ensure a safe transfer of care for their patients. The questions in this section are there to target the most commonly tested and encountered aspects of OMFS for most junior dentists, focusing on oral surgery, oral pathology, management of the medically compromised patient, and trauma of the facial skeleton. OMFS is an enormously satisfying endeavour and is recommended to all junior dentists. It can form a granite-like foundation of skills upon which to build a career in clinical dentistry. Key topics include: ● Trauma ● Oral surgery and exodontia ● Oral pathology ● Orthognathic surgery ● Temporomandibular joint surgery ● Cleft lip/ palate repair ● Craniofacial surgery ● Salivary disease ● Head and neck oncology and microvascular reconstruction ● Skin cancer ● Facial aesthetics.

And Function

Platelet concentrates, mostly represented by platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin, have gained significant interest in various medical and oral disciplines because of their potential to stimulate and boost regeneration of hard and soft tissues. Prepared from the patient’s own blood, they have been tested and used in various different surgical fields including oral and maxillofacial surgery. The effects of these biomaterials are described to be a result of the large concentration of platelets which contain a wide range of growth factors. The aim of this article is to introduce the principle and function of these platelet concentrates, to review their preparation, and to provide a comprehensive examination of the published oral and maxillofacial literature on this subject.

Infectious Etiology

The pathology of the oro-maxilo-facial territory comprises a vast chapter of diseases with primary or secondary infectious etiology, the mouth being the natural cavity of the organism with the most varied and variable flora of bacterial contamination. By the continuity solutions created by the mechanical act of mastication, decubitus of defective prosthetic works, local dento-periodontal infectious processes, but especially of dental or small-scale interventions, open gates and possibilities of penetration into the blood circulation of the microorganisms, which cause the transient bacteria. The study included 243 randomly selected patients, with the address of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic in the period 2016-2018. The inoculation of microorganisms in the oral cavity in circulating blood as a result of oral surgery or dental care procedures is much more common than in other areas of the body. Aggressive dental maneuvers that create solutions of continuity of oral mucosa, gingiva, periodontal surgery, periodontal surgery techniques can cause bacteria.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) has undergone a major transformation over the last two decades. This has resulted in the redefining of OMFS as a medical specialty and the categorisation of oral surgery as a dental specialty. Oral surgery includes dentoalveolar surgery, orthodontic surgery, intraoral soft tissue surgery, management of diseases of the jaws and oral implantology. OMFS also includes these areas of practice but has tended to focus on the management of more complex conditions such as orofacial malignancy and cleft-lip and palate surgery. Salivary gland disease, orthognathic surgery and facial trauma, although within the remit of OMFS, also fall within the extended competencies of the oral surgery curriculum and as such, will be part of the practice of some oral surgeons.

Abstract Background Oral and maxillofacial surgery specialty has grown rapidly in Kuwait in recent years. However, the general public and healthcare professionals remain unaware of its expanding scope of practice. The aim of the study is to assess public and professional (dental and medical) perception of the oral and maxillofacial surgical specialty in Kuwait. Methods This is a cross-sectional study evaluating responses of dental professionals, medical professionals, and general public in Kuwait toward the oral and maxillofacial surgical specialty using a previously validated survey instrument with 100 participants in each group. Participants were asked to choose the most appropriate specialist to treat certain procedures across 4 disciplines: reconstruction, trauma, pathology, and cosmetic. Statistical comparison was conducted between dentists and medical doctors using Fisher’s exact test with a p-value of < 0.05. Results Disparities were noted each group’s responses. Oral and maxillofacial surgery was preferred overall for most clinical scenarios in trauma (p < 0.001), pathology (p < 0.001), and reconstructive surgery (p < 0.001). Plastic surgery was preferred for cosmetic surgeries (p < 0.001). Conclusions This study indicates the need to increase awareness especially towards cosmetic surgery procedures, and conduct health campaigns regarding oral and maxillofacial surgery among healthcare professionals, especially medical doctors, and the general public.

Abstract Background In Japan, oral third-generation cephalosporins with broad-spectrum activity are commonly prescribed in the practices of dentistry and oral surgery. However, there are few reports on the appropriate use of antibiotics in the field of oral surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the appropriateness of antibiotic use before and after an educational intervention in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kobe University Hospital. Methods The use of oral antibiotics was investigated among inpatients and outpatients before and after an educational intervention conducted by the antimicrobial stewardship team. Additionally, the frequency of surgical site infection after the surgical removal of an impacted third mandibular molar under general anesthesia and the prevalence of adverse effects of the prescribed antibiotics were comparatively evaluated between 2013 and 2018. Results After the educational intervention, a remarkable reduction was noted in the prescription of oral third-generation cephalosporins, but increased use of penicillins was noted among outpatients. There was reduced use of macrolides and quinolones in outpatients. Although a similar trend was seen for inpatients, the use of quinolones increased in this population. Despite the change in the pattern of antibiotic prescription, inpatients who underwent mandibular third molar extraction between 2013 and 2018 did not show a significant increase in the prevalence of surgical site infections (6.2% vs. 1.8%, p = .336) and adverse effects of drugs (2.1% vs. 0%, p = .466). Conclusions This study suggests that the judicious use of oral antibiotics is possible through conscious and habitual practice of appropriate antibiotic use. However, further investigation is required to develop measures for appropriate use of oral antibiotics.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of dental caries in patients with cleft lip and/or palate and their cleft-free sibling controls. Methods: The two subject groups (patient and control) comprised 106 participants. The former group consisted of 53 patients with cleft lip and/or palate, aged 12 to 29 years, who visited the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital at Damascus University of Syria. The control group consisted of the patients’ siblings who had no clefts, and they were sex matched to the patient group. Dental caries were examined clinically and were reported using the decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT) index. The DMFT scores were compared between the two groups. Results: The author found an overall association of dental caries with the presence of cleft lip and/or palate (odds ratio  =  2.52; 95% confidence interval  =  1.389–4.574; p < .05). The DMFT index scores were proportionally higher in patients with cleft lip and/or palate compared with the control group (p < .001). Conclusion: Subjects with cleft lip and palate are susceptible to dental caries independently of socioeconomic status.
