Surgical management of naso-orbito-ethmoidal fractures: a systematic review.

Objective: Naso-orbito-ethmoidal fractures (NOE) fractures are uncommon but critical injuries. This review aims to investigate the patient factors, procedural factors, and postoperative outcomes associated with the surgical management of NOE fractures.

Study Design: PubMed and Scopus databases were systematically searched between 1993 and 2023 using the search strategy "(naso-orbito-ethmoidal OR nasoethmoid OR nasoorbitoethmoidal) AND fracture.

E-Scooters and Craniofacial Trauma: A Systematic Review.

Study Design: Systematic review.

Objective: Standing electric scooters (e-scooters) provide a cheap and environmentally friendly transport alternative, but also elicit substantial concern regarding their volume of associated injuries especially in the craniofacial region. This review aims to explore the demographics, risk factors, types of injury and surgical management of craniofacial trauma associated with e-scooters.

Rigid versus Nonrigid Fixation for Bilateral Mandibular Angle Fractures: A Retrospective Multicenter Review.

Background: Fractures involving the bilateral mandibular angle are an uncommon occurrence with limited evidence to inform the ideal fixation requirements for adequate treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of managing bilateral mandibular angle fractures and determine whether rigid fixation on 1 side improves outcomes compared with bilateral nonrigid fixation.

Methods: Patients with isolated bilateral mandibular angle fractures treated surgically at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Princess Alexandra Hospital, Gold Coast University Hospital, and Townsville University Hospital between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2022, were identified retrospectively.

The dental management of patients irradiated for head and neck cancer.

Patients undergoing radiotherapy for head and neck cancers are prone to a range of dental complications, including mucositis, trismus, xerostomia, radiation caries and osteoradionecrosis. Specific considerations include the preventive, restorative and rehabilitative management of such patients, and the prevention and treatment of complications. This article aims to highlight the current understanding and management of dental needs for patients who have had or will undergo radiotherapy.

The Impact of Orbital Volume on Post-traumatic Enophthalmos: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Purpose: Orbital volume increase has been previously linked with post-traumatic enophthalmos. However, this varies and some studies show no correlation. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the correlation between orbital volume and enophthalmos and to determine if surgical intervention, enophthalmos measurement method, fracture location, or timing affect this correlation.

Dental anxiety in adult patients treated by dental students: A systematic review.

Purpose/objectives: Dental anxiety is common and can propagate a vicious cycle of dental neglect and anxiety-provoking treatment. Patient, procedural, and operator factors are important contributions. This review aims to explore risk factors for dental anxiety in adult patients treated by dental students, in order to improve awareness of relevant factors and aid patient management.

Ophthalmological injuries associated with fractures of the orbitozygomaticomaxillary complex.

Our aim was to evaluate ophthalmological injuries associated with fractures of the orbitozygomaticomaxillary complex that required operative treatment, and we collected data retrospectively over a period of five years (2012-2016 inclusive). Of the 190 patients, 162 were male with a median age of 31 (IQR 25 -39) years. Assault was the most common mechanism of injury (125/190, 66%).

Testicular vasculitis - literature review and case report in queensland.

A 21-year-old male presented with acute onset, sharp right sided testicular pain. The testicle was removed with a histological diagnosis of testicular vasculitis. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies were negative.

Bacterial comparison of preoperative rinsing and swabbing for oral surgery using 0.2% chlorhexidine.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare bacterial load using preoperative rinsing and swabbing techniques for oral surgery with 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX).

Methods: Participants were healthy volunteers undergoing a general anesthetic for the removal of teeth.

Frequency of odontogenic cysts and tumors: a systematic review.

A systematic review of the literature from 1993 to 2011 was undertaken examining frequency data of the most common odontogenic cysts and tumors. Seven inclusion criteria were met for the paper to be incorporated. In the preliminary search 5231 papers were identified, of these 26 papers met the inclusion criteria.

Knee pain during the first three months after unilateral total knee arthroplasty: a multi-centre prospective cohort study.

Many patients have an unfavourable pain outcome post total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This multi-centre prospective cohort study recorded weekly pain scores one week before TKA and 12 weeks post TKA. 96 patients were enrolled into the study.

A prospective epidemiological study for odontogenic and non-odontogenic lesions of the maxilla and mandible in Queensland.

Objectives: Investigate the epidemiological profile for odontogenic and non-odontogenic intra-osseous lesions in the Queensland population (4.56 million) over 12 months.

Study Design: The following data were prospectively collected from all Queensland histopathology laboratories in 2011: gender, age at diagnosis, location of lesion, histopathological diagnosis of the lesion and the patient's postcode.

Management and recurrence of keratocystic odontogenic tumor: a systematic review.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the most up-to-date treatment modalities and respective recurrence rates for keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT).

Study Design: A systematic review of the literature from 1999 to 2010 was undertaken examining treatment and recurrence rates for KCOT. Four inclusion criteria were defined for articles to then be analyzed against 8 standards.
