Assessing the Efficacy of Buffered Versus Nonbuffered Lidocaine in Dental Extractions: A Double-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial
Injections using buffered lidocaine may decrease discomfort, have a quicker onset, and be a more efficacious local anesthetic. Previous studies have been inconclusive in the oral context. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Trigeminocardiac Reflex During Temporomandibular Joint Surgery: A Systematic Review and Update for the Surgeons
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery is being increasingly performed globally with considerable success leading to improved quality of life for patients affected with disabling temporomandibular disorders. One of the most unusual phenomena noted during maxillofacial surgery due to stimulation of the trigeminal nerves is the Trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR), which causes sudden bradycardia and hypotension causing alarm and distress to the surgical and anesthetic team. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify the frequency and discuss the pathophysiology of the TCR especially during TMJ surgery. (Source: Journal of...

Does fibula free flap harvesting affect donor site of patients in facial reconstructions: a gait analysis study.
Vascularized fibula free flap remains gold standard for reconstruction of bony defects of the maxilla or mandible. Research and publications in recent years essentially focused on the evolution and improvement of the recipient reconstructed area but very few concerning the donor site morbidity.

RE: To Save or Resect a Remodeled Condyle in Young Patients
I would like to thank Drs Kaban and Posnick for their thought-provoking article, To save or resect a remodeled condyle in young patients.1 I would like to clarify several points that should be taken into consideration when deciding on the optimal treatment for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction in young patients. The primary purpose of TMJ reconstruction is to restore function, improve quality of life, and reduce pain. This becomes even more complicated in young patients, where an additional goal of the TMJ reconstruction is to eliminate mandibular asymmetry and allow for continued growth.
