To what extent do oral and maxillofacial surgery residents suffer from imposter syndrome?

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the frequency and severity of imposter syndrome (IS) in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) residents and identify factors associated with higher Clance Imposter Phenomenon Survey (CIPS) scores.

Study Design: A cross-sectional study was performed with a survey including CIPS, demographic, and training program structure questions distributed to all OMS training programs and residents in the United States. The primary predictor variable was gender, and the main outcome variable was the CIPS score.

A retrospective study of orthognathic surgery reimbursement and volume changes at an American academic medical center over a 13-year period.

Objective: This study aimed to measure the association between orthognathic surgeon reimbursement and surgical volume over time.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent orthognathic surgery from January 1, 2010, to December 23, 2022, at an academic medical center was performed. Five patients per year were randomly selected and evaluated for insurance type and associated costs to create representative averages.

Risk Factors for Pediatric Facial Trauma in an Appalachian Region: An Epidemiological Review at a Single Institution.

Background: Rural and low-income pediatric populations are at higher risk for trauma. Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) trauma in this population has not been studied.

Purpose: This study's purpose was to determine if rural populations or low-income populations are at higher risk for pediatric CMF trauma than urban or high-income populations, respectively, and to determine differences in mechanism of injury (MOI).

Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis as a Sequelae of COVID-19 Treatment: A Case Report & Literature Review.

A large volume of reports detailing a marked increase in Mucormycosis infections in India has filtered its way into world news articles. These patients frequently have 2 risk factors: recent treatment of COVID-19 with high dose steroids, and uncontrolled diabetes. Recently, at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, we successfully treated an uncontrolled diabetic patient with rhinocerebral Mucormycosis as a sequela of his COVID-19 treatment.

Fall-Related Facial Trauma: A Retrospective Review of Fracture Patterns and Medical Comorbidity.

Purpose: Medical comorbidities may contribute to falls and thus require identification for education and prevention. We hypothesized that the epidemiology and injuries seen will be similar to the literature, with most falls that result in injury occurring in the elderly, to prominent facial structures, and are associated with specific comorbidities.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of patients evaluated by the Trauma and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery services after sustaining traumatic facial injury from July 2015 to June 2016 as a result of a fall.
