Current practice in provision
of alcohol assessment and
support for patients following
alcohol related facial fractures
Authors: Kai H. Lee, Michael
Qiu, Jiandong Sun
Abstract: The algorithm
for maxillofacial trauma
management is well defined;
however, provision of alcohol
assessment for patients
after trauma is not widely
practiced. This study aims
to investigate the rate of
alcohol assessment achieved
within the demographic
characteristics of patients
with facial trauma and
the circumstances where
this intervention was
implemented.
Detection of major
histocompatibility complex
molecules in processed
allogeneic bone blocks
for use in alveolar ridge
reconstruction
Authors: Tobias Fretwurst,
Lames M. Gad, Thorsten
Steinberg, Hagen Schmal,
Robert Zeiser, Anna-K. Amler,
Katja Nelson, Brigitte Altmann
Abstract: Because processed
allogenic bone blocks
contain remnants of cells
and other organic material,
the present study examined
the putative presence of
major histocompatibility
complex (MHC) molecules in
protein extracts derived from
processed allogeneic bone
blocks.
Corrective outcome and
transverse stability after
orthognathic surgery using
a surgery-first approach in
mandibular prognathism with
and without facial asymmetry
Authors: Jinyuan Guo,
Tongyue Wang, Jeong Joon
Han, Seunggon Jung, Min-
Suk Kook, Hong-Ju Park, Hee-
Kyun Oh
Abstract: The aim of the
study was to systematically
identify criteria used to
diagnose patients with
trigeminal nerve injury.
Prognostic indicators of
improved survival and quality
of life in surgically treated oral
cancer
Authors: Giancarlo Tirelli,
Annalisa Gatto, Pierluigi
Bonini, Margherita Tofanelli,
Zoran M. Arnež, Alice
Piccinato
Abstract: No published study
has analyzed the prognostic
factors of surgically treated
oral squamous cell carcinoma
(OSCC) in relation to both
survival and quality of life
(QoL). The aim of this study
was to analyze postoperative
QoL in relation to survival to
identify which parameters
can predict the long-term
outcome allowing the best
QoL.
