To what extent do oral and maxillofacial surgery residents suffer from imposter syndrome?

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the frequency and severity of imposter syndrome (IS) in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) residents and identify factors associated with higher Clance Imposter Phenomenon Survey (CIPS) scores.

Study Design: A cross-sectional study was performed with a survey including CIPS, demographic, and training program structure questions distributed to all OMS training programs and residents in the United States. The primary predictor variable was gender, and the main outcome variable was the CIPS score.

A retrospective study of orthognathic surgery reimbursement and volume changes at an American academic medical center over a 13-year period.

Objective: This study aimed to measure the association between orthognathic surgeon reimbursement and surgical volume over time.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent orthognathic surgery from January 1, 2010, to December 23, 2022, at an academic medical center was performed. Five patients per year were randomly selected and evaluated for insurance type and associated costs to create representative averages.

Risk Factors for Pediatric Facial Trauma in an Appalachian Region: An Epidemiological Review at a Single Institution.

Background: Rural and low-income pediatric populations are at higher risk for trauma. Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) trauma in this population has not been studied.

Purpose: This study's purpose was to determine if rural populations or low-income populations are at higher risk for pediatric CMF trauma than urban or high-income populations, respectively, and to determine differences in mechanism of injury (MOI).

Gastrocardiac Fistula as a Complication of Prior Bariatric Surgery.

Gastrocardiac fistula is a rare, typically fatal, diagnosis which has been reported infrequently in post-esophagectomy patients and, to a much lesser extent, patients with history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. This case describes a patient with a history of an eroded adjustable gastric band and subsequent removal with conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass that initially presented with an upper gastrointestinal bleed. She was found to have a transdiaphragmatic fistula between the gastric lumen and left ventricle.

Historical Perspectives on the Management of Craniosynostosis.

The history of craniofacial surgery is one of many fundamental advances by monumental figures. Although craniosynostosis has been known to exist for multiple centuries, modern management has evolved over roughly the last century. An overview of early history, early scientific exploration, the advancement of surgical treatment of craniofacial deformities and the current state of craniosynostosis management is discussed.

Early detection of cherubism with eventual bilateral progression: a literature review and case report.

Cherubism is a rare familial disease of childhood that commonly affects the bilateral mandible and maxilla and typically resolves in adulthood. It has been shown to have a male predilection and has been mapped to the SH3 BP2 gene. Only 2 cases of unilateral cherubism have been documented in the literature; in the first case, the contralateral side was eventually affected.

Dental Hygiene, Dental, and Medical Students' OMFS/Hospital Dentistry-Related Knowledge/Skills, Attitudes, and Behavior: An Exploration.

Engaging other health care providers in oral health-related activities and interprofessional care (IPC) could increase access to oral health care for underserved populations in the U.S. The aims of this study were to assess dental hygiene, dental, and medical students' intra- and interprofessional and oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS)/hospital dentistry-related knowledge/skills, attitudes, and behavior; determine whether first and second year vs.

Efficacy of Philips Sonicare AirFloss compared to manual brushing and flossing: an in vitro study.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in reduction of an interproximal surface coating with the use of Sonicare Airfloss, tooth brushing or dental flossing since there are currently no articles available comparing dental flossing to Sonicare Airfloss. Three groups of six typodont teeth were sprayed with Occlude Indicator Spray as a test surface coating. Each group was treated with one removal method: Sonicare Airfloss, tooth brushing or dental flossing.
