Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in zygomatic fracture surgery
Attitudes towards healthcare in the NHS and in other Western healthcare systems have been changing dramatically in recent years. There is a significant movement calling for a shift from the traditional paternalistic model, with patients as passive recipients of treatments that are supported by objective and observable evidence, towards a more holistic approach, in which patients have agency, and treatments are tailored to the individual needs of a particular patient. Whilst patient safety and clinical effectiveness remain intrinsic to the traditional measurement of successful healthcare, Patient Reported Outcome Measures (...

A Collaborative Approach to Paediatric Chronic Non-Bacterial Osteomyelitis of the Mandible: Great Ormond Street Hospital Case Series
We present the typical laboratory investigative findings (normal inflammatory markers) and imaging appearances (sclerosis and periosteal oedema).Our paper outlines an investigation protocol, including recommendations for extra-oral bone biopsies and systemic MRI imaging.

Re: New method of arch bar fixation
This letter is regarding comments on the technical note by Abbasi and Parvin.1 The authors describe a unique technique for arch bar fixation which claims to take less operating time due to fewer knots and easy manipulation of a longer wire.

Comment on ‘Minimum detectable change in occlusal load - normative data for healthy and head and neck cancer populations’
This study involved 20 HNC patients and 20 healthy individuals from a single institution. The researchers used a specific pressure transducer to measure the minimum detectable force applied to the jaw and inter-incision distance. Out of the total of 20 patients, 15 patients (75%) underwent surgery, while 12 patients (60%) received radiotherapy (RT). (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

In reply to comment on “Minimum detectable change in occlusal load – normative data for healthy and head and neck cancer populations”
Thank you for your interest in our paper comparing the minimum detectable occlusal load of healthy participants with patients who had received treatment for head and neck cancer. The letter raises two important issues, firstly the correlation between radiation dose to the masticatory apparatus and an individual ’s ability to detect occlusal load and secondly the effect of radiation dose on the dentition, and the likelihood of injury to the affected teeth. The authors also question whether the findings may prompt clinicians to avoid trismus treatment leading to an adverse effect on quality of life. (Source: The British Jo...

Temperature variations during bone removal procedures similar to third molar extraction using different instruments
Bone removal is commonly used in the extraction of third molars and the heat generated during the process can interfere with bone repair. The aim of this study was to evaluate the temperature variation presented in bone removal performed with a high speed turbine (400,000rpm), implant motor with straight piece (100,000rpm), low speed micromotor (20,000rpm) and piezoelectric saw (30kHz) in pig mandibles. For this, bone removal was carried out around 20 posterior teeth, under constant saline solution irrigation with syringe and needle. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Biomechanical Analysis and Comparison Between “Zeta” Miniplate Design & Conventional Miniplate System for Fixation of Fracture Segments in Transition Zone of Parasymphysis Body Region of Mandible – An In-Vitro Study
The parasymphysis area of the mandible is highly dynamic because it is subjected to both occlusal and muscular forces. As a result, the fractures in this transition zone have a special pattern, posing a challenge for surgeons whether to use one miniplate versus two miniplates, as per Champy's recommendations. The commonest complication resulting to treat this area is mental nerve paresthesia due to the dissection and stretching of the nerve. Hence, an in-vitro research study of a newly designed “Zeta” miniplate is performed, to evaluate the biomechanical behavior using finite element (FE) analysis and biomechanical ana...

Role of procalcitonin, Interleukin-6 and Interleukin-10 as a predictive marker for the use of perioperative steroid in Maxillofacial trauma patients
This study explores Procalcitonin (PCT), as a marker for bacterial infection risk, and interleukins IL-6 and IL-10, which respectively signify pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses, as potential indicators of infection and inflammation in these trauma cases and thereby aid in refining perioperative steroid guidelines.

3D-printed personalized digital guide plate for greater palatine block in trigeminal neuralgia
In this study, we developed a new technique using a personalized digital tooth-supported guide plate to increase insertion accuracy and success rates and reduce the pain of patients during injection. A total of 18 patients with TN (11 females and 7 males) were enrolled and treated between September 2020 and June 2022. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
