Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and bacteriology of bacteremia associated with various oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures.
Methods: A total of 237 patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial surgery were included in this study. Blood samples were obtained for bacteriological examination immediately after the essential steps of the surgical procedure had been performed.
Results: Bacteremia was detected in patients who underwent surgery for tumor, infection and trauma, and surgical reconstruction of jaw. In particular, decortication for osteomyelitis and tooth extraction resulted in a higher incidence of bacteremia compared with other surgical procedures. The incidence of bacteremia was not affected by oral hygiene, gingival inflammation, blood loss, and duration of surgery. Furthermore, concerning tooth extraction, there was no statistical difference in the incidence of bacteremia with respect to the number of teeth extracted and the method of extraction. Extraction of teeth with odontogenic infection (periodontitis, periapical infection, and pericoronitis) did however produce a significantly increased incidence of bacteremia compared with infection-free teeth (P < .01). Viridans streptococci were the predominant group of bacteria isolated from the bacteremias.
Conclusion: Oral and maxillofacial surgery involving transoral incision produces bacteremia, regardless of the extent and degree of surgical invasion. In particular, surgical procedure at infected sites is more likely to result in bacteremia compared with infection-free sites.

Since its introduction in 2001, multiple platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) centrifugation protocols have emerged, but the variations in growth factor release that result from these protocols remain unclear. This review aimed to evaluate growth factor release across three PRF protocols: leukocyte-PRF (L-PRF), advanced-PRF (A-PRF/+), and injectable-PRF (i-PRF). A comprehensive search was conducted using the MEDLINE and Embase databases, identifying 14 studies that met the inclusion criteria.

To investigate the effect of Keystone Design Perforator Island Flap (KDPIF) in the repair of maxillofacial soft tissue defect. From June 2021 to June 2023, 16 patients with soft tissue defects caused by resection of maxillofacial tumor repaired by KDPIF were selected. Variants of KDPIF were designed according to the area of the defect, and the incision was parallel to the wrinkle as far as possible in the same facial cosmetic subunit.

Introduction: Tooth extraction initiates a cascade of homeostatic and structural modifications within the periodontal tissues, culminating in alveolar ridge resorption. To prevent ridge resorption following extraction and facilitate successful placement of an implant-supported prosthesis, alveolar ridge preservation was performed.
Methods: In this study, the biocompatibility of a nanocomposite consisting of self-assembling peptide nanofibers (organic phase) and tri-calcium phosphate-nano hydroxyapatite (mineral phase), was evaluated in rabbits.

Purpose: To investigate the expression of ubiquitin specific protease 20 (USP20) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters.
Methods: OSCC samples and paired paracancerous samples were screened from the TCGA database for differential expression analysis and paired differential analysis. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression level of USP20 in OSCC tissue, paracancerous tissues and normal tissues.
