Non-odontogenic maxillofacial infections - a 17-years retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: A retrospective 17-year review of the epidemiology, microbiological aspects, and treatment of patients hospitalized for non-odontogenic maxillofacial infections.

Methods: A retrospective study reviewed 4040 medical records of patients hospitalized at Vilnius University Hospital Zalgiris Clinic during the period of 2003 to 2019. The following data were collected: patient sociodemographic characteristics, length of hospitalization, sources of infection, affected anatomical regions, treatment modalities, microbiological findings, and sensitivity to antibiotics.

Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma of the Sublingual Salivary Gland: A Case Report.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a type of B-cell lineage lymphoma that can affect the head and neck region. This report presents a rare case of an extra-nodal marginal zone B-cell MALT lymphoma of a sublingual gland, diagnosed in an 18-year-old male patient. The patient had a history of ranula surgical removal on the right side of the mouth.

Self-determination theory guided oral self-care training for adolescents-A cluster randomised controlled trial.

Quality oral self-care is a key element in maintaining oral health, which is important for students' general health, their overall well-being and learning. The cluster randomised controlled trial tested the following hypotheses: (1) self-determination theory (SDT)-guided dental education is superior to conventional dental instruction in modifying oral self-care in adolescents; (2) after the discontinued dental education, improved oral self-care is only maintained for short rather than long term and (3) multiple predictors explain variations in adolescents' oral self-care at different observation periods. The intervention group (N = 97) received three face-to-face educational sessions to facilitate adolescents' intrinsic motivation, while the control group (N = 99) had one conventional dental instruction session.

Predictors of longer hospitalization of maxillofacial infections-a 17-year retrospective study.

Objectives: To evaluate treatment outcomes in patients with severe maxillofacial infections requiring hospital care during a 17-year period.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study reviewed 5,465 medical records, and the following data were collected: the reason for infection, locations of inflamed regions, treatment provided, bacteriological findings, and treatment outcomes. Other information included sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender), presence of systemic diseases, and smoking history.

Tongue function characteristics in infants experiencing breastfeeding difficulties and changes in breastfeeding after frenotomy procedures.

Objectives: The aims of the study were to describe tongue function in infants experiencing breastfeeding difficulties and to examine changes in breastfeeding after frenotomy procedures.

Materials And Methods: Mothers, and their infants, facing difficulties in breastfeeding were referred to the Vilnius University hospital Žalgirio clinic after assessment of breastfeeding quality by a lactation specialist. Anatomy evaluations included the type of ankyloglossia, tongue function, and the need for a frenotomy.

Oral lichen planus: a 4-year clinical follow-up study.

Background/aim: This study aimed to examine oral lichen planus (OLP) cases histopathologically and cytologically, describe different clinical aspects of OLP manifestations, and associate different OLP clinical forms with self-reported oral health and with local and systemic risk factors.

Materials And Methods: All patients with a referral diagnosis of OLP received biopsies. The histological evaluation assessed infiltration with lymphocytes, epithelial hyperplasia, and hyperkeratosis.

Odontogenic Maxillofacial Infections: A Ten-Year Retrospective Analysis.

Background: To analyze treatment modalities and results in patients with severe odontogenic maxillofacial infections during a 10-y period.

Methods: Medical records of 1,077 patients hospitalized because of severe odontogenic maxillofacial infections during 2003-2012 were reviewed. The sample consisted of the records that matched inclusion criteria.

Dental treatment needs and health care-seeking behaviours of patients with acute odontogenic infections in Lithuania.

Aims: To assess patients with acute odontogenic maxillofacial infections (AOMIs), regarding their functional dentition and dental treatment needs, and identify factors explaining these outcomes.

Methods: During a 1-year period, 160 patients with AOMIs were treated at the specialised dental care centre of Vilnius University. Both oral status and specific dental treatment needs were evaluated for each patient.

Determinants of length of hospitalization due to acute odontogenic maxillofacial infections: a 2009-2013 retrospective analysis.

Objectives: To investigate the determinants of the length of hospitalization (LOH) due to acute odontogenic maxillofacial infections (AOMIs) from 2009 to 2013.

Materials And Methods: Dental records of adult patients with AOMIs and related data were retrieved from the Vilnius University's dental hospital. The LOH was related to several determinants in each of the following domains: outpatient primary care, severity of AOMIs, lifestyle and disease domains.

Retrospective analysis of cellulitis of the floor of the mouth.

Objectives: To analyze clinical data of patients treated for mouth floor cellulitis during 2003-2006 years at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Vilnius University Hospital Zalgiris Clinic and to compare the results with existing data.

Material And Methods: Patient's gender, age, social insurance, demographic profile, preference of first visit, previous treatment, origin of inflammation, symptoms of disease, treatment protocol and outcomes were evaluated from 240 clinical records.

Results: The male-female ratio was 1.
