Comment on “Quantifying bone healing after mandibular displacement in orthognathic surgery”
We express our gratitude to Voss et al. for their article utilizing the volumetric difference methodology to evaluate bone healing post-orthognathic surgery.1 In their study, the authors calculated volume changes of cortical bone on the buccal and lingual sides during postoperative follow-up, presenting percentage changes from 0 to 100% to indicate the degree of bone healing. We commend the authors for their method of quantifying cortical bone healing. However, we note that the analysis did not consider intersegmental cancellous bone formation between the buccal and lingual cortex. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and ...

In reply to Letter to the Editor of: Quantifying Bone Healing Following Mandibular Displacement in Orthognathic Surgery
We would like to express our gratitude to the authors for their response to our publication 1. We have taken great interest in the study conducted by Vamvanij and colleagues, particularly in their approach to evaluating the intersegmental gap 2. We believe that there were distinct differences in the study design between their investigation and our own study. We conducted an analysis of the intersegmental changes in gap volumes between baseline and follow-up images through the segmentation of cortical areas.

Use of Integra ® on avascular tissue
We present our experience of its novel use in oral and maxillofacial surgery patients, using it directly on bone and cartilage (avascular tissue) without further skin grafting. Patients who required full-thickness excision of lesions down to bone or cartilage and who were treated using Integra® were included. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Comment on: Rehman, U., Sohaib Sarwar, M., Kaur Marwaha, P. & Brennan, P. A. Exploring the concerns of second-degree dental students on entering specialist OMFS training and their attitudes towards the second-degree curriculum. (2023) doi:10.1016/j.bjoms.2023.04.008
In their paper, Rehman et al have failed to mention several of the most important support mechanisms that are available to second-degree students.1 Anyone with an interest in pursuing a career in OMFS is fortunate to have a strong peer-led network of support available to them, whether they are at medical school, dental school or dual qualified.

Reply to Letter to the Editor: Improving Medicine First Trainee Experience in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
We are very grateful for all the authors ’ comments in the letter to the editor and welcome suggestions to enhance OMFS exposure for Medicine First Trainees (MFTs). Our paper argued for a streamlined second-degree curriculum. This would allow for effective engagement in both research and clinical activities. This goes hand in hand with t he Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) recommendation of exploring the feasibility of the formal onset of OMFS specialist training at the onset of the second degree.

Does tranexamic acid effectively minimise blood loss in cleft palate repair? A rigorous assessment through comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis
Cleft palate repair is a common reconstructive procedure that can involve significant blood loss. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been proposed to minimise blood loss during various surgical procedures, but its effectiveness in cleft palate repair remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of TXA to reduce postoperative blood loss. Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases, including PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science, to identify relevant studies published...

Proteomics study of bone tissue around ameloblastoma and the potential mechanism of CD36 in bone remodelling
Ameloblastoma (AM) is characterized by local aggressiveness and bone resorption. The proteomic profile of the bone adjacent to the AM has not been previously explored. Therefore, we explored the differential proteins between the cancellous bone adjacent to the AM and the normal cancellous bone (CB) from the mandible.

Which devices can be used to decompress odontogenic cystic lesions in the oral cavity? A systematic review
Odontogenic cysts are bone lesions in the jaws and can reach large sizes. Decompression is a technique that helps in the surgical treatment of these lesions, aiming to reduce the size of the cysts. This present study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the main types of devices used for the decompression of odontogenic cysts and analyze the indications, types, advantages, and disadvantages of the devices used in the decompression of odontogenic cystic lesions in the oral cavity.

Implementing a deep learning model for automatic tongue tumour segmentation in ex-vivo 3-dimensional ultrasound volumes
This study aims to investigate use of a 3D deep learning model for fast intraoperative segmentation of tongue carcinoma in 3D ultrasound volumes. Additionally, it investigates the clinical effect of automatic segmentation. A 3D No New U-Net (nnUNet) was trained on 113 manually annotated ultrasound volumes of resected tongue carcinoma.

The malignant transformation rate of erosive oral lichen planus - a retrospective study
Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory oral condition previously known to have a rate of malignant transformation of around 1%[1]. Additionally, erosive lichen planus, a subtype of lichen planus which is a known risk factor for malignant transformation, has been previously unquantified in a large cohort of patients.We retrospectively assessed 1,920 patients in a single unit observation between 2005 and 2021 who underwent histological analysis for suspected oral lichen planus and followed the progression of their disease to assess the rate of malignant transformation.

Atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation following surgical treatment of a cervical teratoma in a child: a case report
Atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AARS), characterized by an abnormal alignment of the atlantoaxial joint, is rarely reported after oral and maxillofacial surgery. A 4-year-old girl developed AARS after neck surgery. The child was initially treated with timely treatment for one month. Follow-ups revealed reduced symptoms of neck pain and the tilt disappeared after serial treatment. This case aimed to increase awareness of AARS and provide a reference for oral and maxillofacialsurgeons. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
