However, many ED physicians lack specialized training and confidence in handling these cases, leading to a high rate of facial trauma referrals and increased stress on consult services. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly in large language models such as ChatGPT, have shown potential in aiding clinical decision-making.

Assessing Frailty in Plastic Surgery: Analysis of the Five-factor Index.

Frailty has been shown to have a strong association with adverse outcomes in several surgical specialties. Only recently, however, its relevance in plastic surgery has been examined, yielding inconsistent results. Our goal was to apply the five-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) across multiple subcategories of plastic surgery procedures to identify potential areas where it might prove useful.

Periodontal and orthodontic management of impacted canines.

The maxillary and mandibular canines are described by many clinicians as the "cornerstone" of the arch. When in their optimal position, they play a critical role in providing a well-balanced occlusal scheme that contributes toward functional as well as neuromuscular stability, harmony, esthetics, and dentofacial balance. When an aberration is noted with the normal eruptive and development process, early diagnosis with strategic intervention is critical and may often require a multidisciplinary approach.
