ABSTRACTBackground: Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor. Ameloblastoma is a borderline tumor because it is a benign but locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate if the excision is not complete. The principle of treatment for ameloblastoma is excision all the tumor. This article aimed to conduct a retrospective study to analyze the characteristics of ameloblastoma in patients at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hasan Sadikin Hospital Oral Surgery between the period of January 2018-December 2019Method: This is a retrospective study with 37 patients diagnosed with ameloblastoma during 2018-2019. We took data from each patient such as gender, age, radiological features, histopathological diagnosis of the location of ameloblastoma, management, defects, reconstruction. Result: A total of 22 patients were diagnosed with plexiform ameloblastoma, 12 cases of follicular ameloblastoma, 3 cases of mixed plexiform and follicular ameloblastoma. 31 patients were treated radically, while 6 patients were treated conservatively. Radical treatment is more often used to reduce recurrence rates, whereas conservative measures are indicated in children and adolescents, as well as adult patients with unilocular ameloblastoma types. Conclusion: The most characteristic of ameloblastoma is plexiform ameloblastoma in the mandible. Ameloblastoma is usually performed radically and reconstructed with an AO plate.

Introduction: The diagnosis of a pathological disorder can be made in various stages, namely history taking, clinical examination and supporting examination. Clinical diagnosis is a diagnosis obtained from anamnesis and the results of clinical examination. Histopathological diagnosis is a diagnosis obtained from a microscopic examination of tissue. Clinical diagnosis and histopathological examination results may differ. The aim of the study was to obtain the accuracy value of the dentist’s clinical diagnosis by calculating the number of differences between the clinical diagnosis and the results of the histopathological examination of patients who were biopsied in the Department of Oral Surgery of General Hospital Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of cases of pathological abnormalities biopsied in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of General Hospital Dr Hasan Sadikin Bandung. The total number of study samples was 109 medical records of patients with biopsy. Results: The accuracy value of the clinical diagnosis of dentists was 76%, where the difference between the clinical diagnosis and the histopathological examination was 24%. The most common type of disorder with the greatest difference in diagnosis is ameloblastoma followed by papilloma and mucocele. Conclusion: The accuracy value of the clinical diagnosis of dentists in oral lesions performed biopsy is 76%.

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.

(1) Background: Oronasal communication is described in the scientific literature as a common complication that occurs after a cleft palate surgery. In some cases, it can also be a consequence of oral surgery procedures; the main problem of this type of rare accident is related to the correct healing process and treatment option. (2) Case report: A patient with oronasal communication caused by an unsuccessful attempt of a superior canine odontectomy presented at the Emergency Department of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital, Timișoara. The case management is described from the first consult to one-year follow-up. We consider that this pathology was optimally treated surgically, and the results are more than satisfactory, taking into consideration the high rates of recurrence. (3) Conclusion: This case report can be a useful to a general dentist who is trying to decide whether to perform the canine odontectomy or refer to a specialist surgeon due to the accidents and complications of this procedure.

Introduction: Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers globally and in Sri Lanka, which follows premalignant lesions. It is curable if it is detected early. Several adjunctive methods to diagnose premalignant lesions early are available. Among these, Toluidine blue staining method before a biopsy is currently receiving much attention. Method: This is a prospective study done by studying 103 patients presented to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit, District General Hospital, Gampaha, Sri Lanka. The oral lesions of all the patients are categorized as benign, premalignant, and malignant by clinical examination. Toluidine Blue mouth wash is introduced to all the patients, followed by biopsy from the stained sites and the clinically decided sites in non-stained lesions. Histopathological diagnosis was obtained for all cases. The accuracy of diagnosis of premalignant, malignant, and benign cases by clinical assessment and by using Toluidine blue was assessed and compared statistically in relation to sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive and negative predictive values, and likelihood ratios (LR). Results: Toluidine blue has no added advantage over clinical examination in our setup even though it might be helpful in screening. However, it has an added value to confirm clinically benign cases as benign. Conclusion: Toluidine Blue can be used as an adjunct in screening and to confirm clinically benign cases so that those can be followed up in clinics without doing unnecessary biopsies.

Introduction An increasing number of patients are taking oral antiplatelet agents. As a result, there is an important patient safety concern in relation to the potential risk of bleeding complications following major oral and maxillofacial surgery. Surgeons are increasingly likely to be faced with a dilemma of either continuing antiplatelet therapy and risking serious haemorrhage or withholding therapy and risking fatal thromboembolic complications. While there are national recommendations for patients taking oral antiplatelet drugs undergoing invasive minor oral surgery, there are still no evidence-based guidelines for the management of these patients undergoing major oral and maxillofacial surgery. Methods MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched to retrieve all relevant articles published to 31 December 2017. Findings A brief outline of the commonly used antiplatelet agents including their pharmacology and therapeutic indications is discussed, together with the haemorrhagic and thromboembolic risks of continuing or altering the antiplatelet regimen in the perioperative period. Finally, a protocol for the management of oral and maxillofacial patients on antiplatelet agents is presented. Conclusions Most current evidence to guide decision making is based upon non-randomised observational studies, which attempts to provide the safest possible management of patients on antiplatelet therapy. Large randomised clinical trials are lacking.

Abstract: Introduction: Dental care for mentally disabled people poses a growing challenge for healthcare. In Hungary, the number of mentally disabled people needing special dental care is ca. 100 000. Aim: The aim of our retrospective analysis is to provide a summary of the demographic data and the treatment outcomes of patients with mental disorders treated at the Department of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Semmelweis University in the past five years. Method: Dental care for patients with a severe level of mental disability can be carried out in general anaesthesia only. At Semmelweis University, in the Oral and Maxillofacial Department, 1717 mentally disabled adults received dental care during the past five years. (Patients included people with a mild, medium or severe level of mental disability, patients with Down’s syndrome, autism, epilepsy or panic disorder.) Results: The single biggest achievement seems to be the fact that the issue of acute dental care and oral surgery has basically been settled. A workable relationship has been forged with foundations and organizations dealing with the problems of these patients. It has been realized, however, that in the case of mentally disabled patients there is an enormous need for prevention and ongoing care. Conclusions: Up to now no survey has been carried out in Hungary with the aim of objectively revealing the dental care needs of these patients. Internationally, however, several surveys have been published. It can be stated on the basis of these that both caries frequency and the presence of parodontal diseases increase in correlation with age and the level of disability. Oral hygiene is insufficient, patients or their caretakers do not get proper information, only a few of them receive adequate training and they are not motivated to keep up oral health. Dental care, except for tending acute cases, is not satisfactory. For the sake of prevention, cooperation is needed with non-governmental organizations, foundations, special education teachers and psychiatrists specialized in this field.

The purpose of this study was to confirm the success rate of surgical treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients at a single institution (Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (AAOMS) stages 1, 2, or 3), and to identify the factors that influence treatment outcomes. As a result of analyzing the outcomes of treatment, surgical “success” was achieved in 93.97% (109) of cases, and “failure” was observed at 6.03% (7) cases. Analysis of patient factors that potentially affect treatment outcomes showed that zoledronate dose (p = 0.005) and the IV (intravenous) injection of drugs (p = 0.044) had significant negative impacts.

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.
