Background: There is a paucity of information about the dental sciences related articles published in an Otorhinolaryngology journal from India. This bibliometric study aimed to audit the dental sciences related articles published in Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery (IJOHNS) from 2014 to 2016 over a 3 year period.Materials and Method: Bibliometric analysis of issues of IJOHNS from 2014 to 2016 was performed using web-based search from Pubmed Central. The articles published were analyzed for topic of dental sciences, type of article, type of study, international collaborations, source of funding, number of authors and authorship trends.Results:Out of the total 60 published articles related to dental sciences, original articles (42), clinical reports (14),short communication(3) and review articles(1) contribute the major share. Regarding the relationship with dental sciences, the maximum number of published articles were related to oral and maxillofacial surgery (53) followed by oral pathology and microbiology (44), oral medicine and radiology (37), prosthodontics (17) and community dentistry (3).Among the articles published in IJOHNS, oral cancer (14) followed by diseases of salivary gland (13), oral mucosal lesions (6) and reconstructive surgery (5) form the major attraction of the contributors. The largest numbers of published articles related to dental sciences were received from Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh (5) and Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh (3).Conclusion: This paper may be considered as a baseline study for the bibliometric information regarding dental sciences related articles published in an Otorhinolaryngology journal from India. IJOHNS have published dental sciences related articles based on the merit of the topic irrespective of the speciality of the author.

AbstractThe authors present a technique using electrocautery diathermy to make surgical tattoos. This method has been used in over 300 patients who underwent head and neck surgery at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and Albany Medical College, New York, over a period of five years. A wide variety of operative procedures such as total laryngectomies and neck dissections were performed. The electrocautery surgical tattoos have a major advantage of persisting until the end of the operative procedure by which time other types of tattoos have faded. The technique is widely available, inexpensive, and has to date been complication free.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is largely a post-graduate subject. This chapter begins with a section on advanced trauma life support and goes on to include details of the diagnosis and management of facial trauma, orthognathic surgery, as well as head and neck surgery and reconstruction. Only basic aspects of this specialty have been included here as advanced techniques are beyond the scope of this chapter. However, this chapter provides enough information so as to ensure success for final year dental students but it can also be of use to those working in oral and maxillofacial units.

Abstract Background : The aim of this bibliometric research was to identify and analyze the top 100 cited systematic reviews in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Methods : Using the Web of Science-database without restrictions on publication year or language, a bibliometric analysis was performed for the five major journals of oral and maxillofacial surgery: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Journal of Cranio-maxillofacial Surgery, British Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Oral Surgery Oral medicine Oral pathology Oral radiology. Discussion : The most top-cited systematic review was published in 2015 with a total of 200 citations on survival and success rates of dental implants, consistent with the finding that “pre- and peri-implant surgery and dental implantology”, and “craniomaxillofacial deformities and cosmetic surgery” were the most frequently-cited topics (22% each). The International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery displayed both most citations in total and in average per publication. The outcome of this article can be used as a source of information not just for researchers but also for clinicians and students, and of which areas have a large impact on the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery but cannot reflect the quality of the included systematic reviews.Systematic review registration: not applicable

Meta Analyses

Antibiotic prophylaxis is commonly used to decrease the rate of infections in head and neck surgery. The aim of this paper is to present the available evidence regarding the application of antibiotic prophylaxis in surgical procedures of the head and neck region in healthy patients. A systemic literature review based on Medline and Embase databases was performed. All reviews and meta-analyses based on RCTs in English from 2000 to 2013 were included. Eight out of 532 studies fulfilled all requirements. Within those, only seven different operative procedures were analyzed. Evidence exists for the beneficial use of prophylactic antibiotics for tympanostomy, orthognathic surgery, and operative tooth extractions. Unfortunately, little high-level evidence exists regarding the use of prophylactic antibiotics in head and neck surgery. In numerous cases, no clear benefit of antibiotic prophylaxis has been shown, particularly considering their potential adverse side effects. Antibiotics are often given unnecessarily and are administered too late and for too long. Furthermore, little research has been performed on the large number of routine cases in the above-mentioned areas of specialization within the last few years, although questions arising with respect to the treatment of high-risk patients or of specific infections are discussed on a broad base.
