Comparison between 2- and 4-plate fixation in Le Fort I osteotomy: a mixed methods systematic review.

Objective: Achieving postsurgical skeletal stability is crucial for successful outcomes and patient satisfaction. Precision maxillofacial surgery, which integrates precision techniques with minimally invasive approaches, is increasingly recognized for its potential to enhance long-term stability and reduce surgical risks and complications. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the impact of fixation techniques (2 vs 4 plates) during Le Fort I osteotomy in orthognathic surgery on skeletal stability.

Four-Year Experience with Treatment Protocol for Odontogenic Necrotizing Fasciitis.

Odontogenic infections, irrespective of regional economic conditions, are a global health concern. Some cases escalate to severe levels, complicating treatment, endangering lives, and reducing positive outcomes. Necrotizing fasciitis is particularly lethal, with purulent collections and infection-derived gases spreading to distant regions.

Unmasking self-citations: A critical analysis using maxillofacial surgery literature as example.

Bibliometric analysis serves as a potent tool for deciphering the intricacies of scholarly communication and academic impact, contributing to an observable surge in publications of this nature. The objective of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of self-citation in Maxillofacial Surgery (MFS) literature. The retrospective study adheres to the principles outlined in the Leiden Manifesto, utilizing Web of Science and Scopus databases for a robust analysis.
