Awareness of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery as a Career Choice Among Dental Students: An Online Questionnaire Survey.

Introduction: Most dental students are interested in pursuing a postgraduate degree after completing their Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS). Among the various specialties, oral surgery, which bridges the fields of medicine and dentistry, is the most attractive option for many young dental professionals. This study aimed to explore the factors influencing students' choices for postgraduation in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) and to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions (KAP) towards this branch of dentistry.

Odontogenic Keratocyst of the Maxilla With Fungal Sinusitis: A Rare Case.

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) in the maxilla are rare. Although destructive, their clinical presentation can mimic inflammatory conditions like radicular cysts and osteomyelitis. OKCs originate primarily from odontogenic sources.

The Role of Adjunctive Chemical Solutions in the Treatment of Odontogenic Keratocysts: A Scoping Review.

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) are aggressive cysts with a high recurrence potential. Treating them with surgical enucleation procedures alone is associated with high recurrence rates; therefore, additional or supportive treatment approaches, such as peripheral osteotomy, cryotherapy, and chemical solutions, are warranted. The objective of the present review was to evaluate the existing literature on the efficacy of chemical approaches, such as Carnoy's solution (CS), in preventing recurrence after the enucleation of OKC.

Hard and Soft Tissue Relapse After Different Genioplasty Procedures: A Scoping Review.

The chin is a crucial component of facial aesthetics, and 20% of craniofacial problems require repair of the chin size, shape, and position. Genioplasty is used to treat irregularities in all three planes of the chin. Specific hard and soft tissue relapses following various genioplasty techniques have not been adequately studied in the literature to date.
