Article Synopsis
- The study explores the postoperative stability of Le Fort I osteotomy (LFI) using a new multipoint measurement method to assess stability after surgery with bioabsorbable systems like SuperFIXSORB-MX.
- A retrospective evaluation of 31 patients categorized by four malocclusion types was conducted, measuring maxillary reference points preoperatively, four days post-surgery, and one year later using CT scans.
- Results showed that facial asymmetry patients experienced the largest postoperative discrepancies, with some measurements indicating clinically acceptable limits for the SuperFIXSORB-MX fixation system.
Article Synopsis
- Granisetron was approved in Japan for managing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in 2021, but its effectiveness compared to droperidol in orthognathic surgery hasn't been established.
- This study aimed to compare the efficacy of droperidol and granisetron for preventing PONV after specific types of orthognathic surgeries.
- A retro cohort study analyzed patients from September 2020 to December 2022, categorizing them into groups based on the antiemetic they received, while also evaluating the outcomes of nausea and vomiting post-surgery along with potential complications.
Background/purpose: The epidemiology of infective endocarditis (IE) is under constant change due to the aging society and increases in antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. However, IE remains severe. This study aimed to review the current clinical characteristics of IE and the antimicrobial susceptibility of oral bacteria (OB) isolated from blood cultures to implement appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis.

On the other hand, it has been shown that perioperative oral function management before various surgeries, such as those for malignant tumors, cardiovascular disease, and transplantation, may prevent or reduce postoperative complications. Close coordination between the dentist and cardiac surgeon is especially necessary before heart valve surgery because of the risk of severe complications.

- The text discusses the rare case of a 46-year-old man with severe intellectual disability who developed postoperative dysphagia following delayed treatment of a mandibular fracture.
- His surgery, performed 16 days after the injury, resulted in normal occlusion, but he struggled with swallowing soon after due to muscle disuse.
- The case highlights the importance of timely treatment for mandibular fractures, especially in patients with severe disabilities, to prevent complications like dysphagia that may necessitate further interventions such as a feeding tube.
