Liposomal bupivacaine suspension can reduce the length of stay of patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fracture
Poorly controlled post-operative pain results in prolonged length of stay (LOS). The use of liposome bupivacaine injectable suspension (LB) for post-operative pain control is a relatively recent practice. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Menopause-Associated Changes in Mandibular Bone Microarchitecture Are Site-Specific
There are conflicting reports on the effects of decreased estrogen levels on mandibular bone microarchitecture, and whether these effects are consistent throughout the mandible is unclear and may have important implications for treatment planning. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

A Rare Case of Prenatally Diagnosed Congenital Oral Teratoma Successfully Treated in a Neonate
Teratomas are congenital malformations that rarely occur in the oral cavity. In the case reported here, fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed at 30 weeks of gestation informed the decision-making of the multidisciplinary management team, who closely followed the pregnancy until the scheduled cesarean delivery at 38 weeks of gestation. After delivery, tracheal intubation was performed to ensure airway patency, and tumor resection was scheduled immediately after ruling out contraindications to surgery based on preoperative examinations, allowing for safely excising the tumor.

Transitioning from teeth to implants: a narrative review
Patients may need removal of their teeth with placement of implants for rehabilitation. The clinical problem is the status of the remaining teeth and how this affects the timing for implant placement and the method for provisionalization. The importance of this review is to document the different strategies including sequential tooth removal and grafting and the use of teeth to provide a fixed provisional rather than a removable provisional, to provide surgeons with a reference to maintain patient function during their rehabilitation.

Infection rates of an intraoral versus extraoral approach to mandibular fracture repairs are equal: A systematic review and meta-analysis
The study investigates whether the intraoral approach to mandibular ORIF, through exposure to the oral cavity's microbiome, results in higher infection rates compared to the extraoral approach, thus addressing a critical public health concern, healthcare costs, and aiming to guide effective clinical practice.

Are We Too Critical of Others? “Jousting” in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in a tertiary referral academic practice, many of my patients are seeking second opinions or inquiring about the quality of their previous treatment. I am sure that we all have patients with the same issues or concerns. It is very easy to put on perfectionist's glasses and start nitpicking all the little things that another provider has not done perfectly. It is easy to criticize someone else's diagnosis, treatment plan, or execution of a surgical procedure. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

RE: “Does Increasing the Bend Angle of a Stylet to 90° Increase the Nasotracheal Intubation Success Rate?”
It is with interest that we read the findings of Liu et  al1 in a recent issue of JOMS on increasing the bend angle of the stylet to 90° to improve the success rate in video stylet-guided nasal intubation. Notably, they found that the stylet was located at the lower edge of the glottis or esophagus with a 70° bend angle. On increasing this angle to 90 °, the stylet tip could easily be aligned with the glottic opening. The only maneuver they employed was head extension, citing minimum labor. It would have been noteworthy to assess intubation with a 70° bend employing other maneuvers like jaw thrust and standard cricoid...

REPLY: “Does Increasing the Bend Angle of a Stylet to 90° Increase the Nasotracheal Intubation Success Rate?”
We thank the readers for their interest and valuable comments on our current article titled “Does increasing the bend angle of a stylet to 90° increase the nasotracheal intubation success rate?”1 Our study found that using a 90° bend angle with a stylet can make nasotracheal intubation easier compared to a 70° bend angle. The success of stylet-guided endotracheal intubation, whether performed orally or nasally, depends on the precise alignment of the distal end of the endotracheal tube with the glottis opening during its approach.
