P073 Cosmetic tattoo models: a novel approach for laceration repair instruction
Basic facial laceration repair is a fundamental aspect of early maxillofacial training and indeed will constitute a large proportion of junior trainees' emergency care. While traditional instructional workshops tend to rely on planar silicone pads or animal tissue, this study aimed to explore the viability for using more biomimetic models typically used for cosmetic tattoo training.

P074 Revisiting the role of submental intubation (SMI) in oral and maxillofacial surgery
Airway management in maxillofacial patients may be challenging. Communication between anaesthetist and surgeon is paramount as both parties share the airway. SMI described by Altemir is a reliable intubation technique with low morbidity providing unrestricted access to the facial skeleton and avoids the need for tracheostomy.

P075 A CBCT analysis of mandibular buccal bone thickness in relation to use of monocortical screws in mandibular fractures
Mini plates and monocortical screws are the widely used for the open reduction and internal fixation of mandible fractures utilising Champy ’s lines of osteosynthesis. Most commonly 5-6mm screws are used and previous literature suggests that even at these lengths there is risk to the inferior alveolar nerve with post-operative paraesthesia being a known risk to the procedure.

P076 Bespoke patient implant manufacture in acute trauma: a case series
Whilst three-dimensional planning and patient specific implants are the mainstay of elective reconstruction, less has been reported in relation to acute trauma partly due to unacceptable production turnout times and limited access to 3D printing facilities. We will show how inhouse 3D printing facilities and planning software can be used to produce patient specific implants in the acute setting, greatly reducing operative time with excellent results.

P077 A five-year review of the management of mandibular fractures in a non-trauma centre
Mandibular fractures are one of the most common type of maxillofacial injuries due to its prominent and vulnerable position within the facial skeleton. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons face many difficulties whilst managing mandible fractures and their complications including parasthaesia, infections, non-union, mal-union and malocclusion. Early identification of these complications helps to facilitate appropriate management and reduce morbidity.Our aim was to identify correlations between complications and management strategies for mandibular fractures.

P079 One man ’s meat is another man’s soft diet
Outcomes following ORIF of mandibular fractures are multifactorial and in part related to patient compliance with post operative instructions. In particular, soft diet has come under scrutiny, both duration and level of diet. A 2019 study showed only 74% compliance with diet advice. Common complications are infection and non union and may require a GA. Our current postoperative instructions include liquid or soft diet for 6 weeks. We aimed to investigate patient ’s understanding of a soft diet, satisfaction with dietary instruction and possible barriers to compliance.

P080 Rehabilitation after sports injury related facial fractures – a systematic review
Facial injuries are commonplace in sports causing lengthy spells of absence from competition for elite athletes. Various popular sports pose the risk of facial fracture across a range of standard incidents. This review summarises the literature regarding facial fractures suffered in sport to establish guidelines to aid an accelerated, safe return to play.

P082 At the movies: the changing face of interpersonal violence in cinema
The negative effects of media exposure to interpersonal violence (IPV) have been a controversial topic for decades. Our aims were to identify the prevalence and trend of maxillofacial related IPV in top grossing movies 50 years apart to look for changing patterns of portrayal in mainstream cinema.

P084 A descriptive study looking at the increasing number of facial injuries sustained due to E-scooters
The Department of Transport National Statistics reported 1352 collisions involving e-scooters in 2021, compared to 460 collisions in 2020 in the United Kingdom. Since 2020, there has been an increase in the number of outpatient facial trauma cases presenting to Kings College Hospital (KCH), Oral and Maxillofacial Department (OMFS) following collisions involving E-scooters. Data collected during this audit was analysed and compared to previous studies completed at KCH.The aim of this study is to raise awareness of the implication of E-scooter collisions, and to ascertain the prevalence and type of facial injuries that occur...

P086 6 year operative experience of paediatric maxillofacial trauma
Hard tissue injuries are an uncommon occurrence in the craniofacial complex amongst paediatric patients. Our objective is to describe the impact of facial trauma on children, particularly focusing on hard tissue injuries in a paediatric population presenting to a major trauma centre in children.
