The importance of control for nosocomial and community-acquired infections is one of the priorities of practical surgery, and maxillofacial surgery is no exception in this matter. Aim of study - to determine the spectrum of antimicrobial activity of widespread antiseptics and antibacterial agents used for topical treatment of odontogenic phlegmons of the maxillofacial region. A bacteriological study of purulent wound exudate was carried out for 109 patients of the maxillofacial hospital department with a diagnosis of odontogenic phlegmons. Using the method of "draw-wells" the sensitivity of the isolated bacterial cultures to solutions of decamethoxin, dioxidine, formaldehyde, and sanguiritrin was determined. Using the dilution method microbicide concentrations of decamethoxin and miramistin were determined by influencing the clinical and museum strains of pathogenic bacteria. In purulent exudate the monocultures of staphylococci were determined - 79 (40.1%), and streptococci - 86 (43.65%), aerobic non-fermenting bacteria - 11 (5.60%) and enterobacteria - 21 (10,65%) were found much less often. Isolated from S. aureus and E. coli proved to be sensitive to solutions of decamethoxin, formaldehyde and sanguiritrin; isolated strains of P. aeruginosa - only to decamethoxin and formaldehyde. Microbicide concentrations of decamethoxin were 4-35 times lower than miramistin due to effect on clinical and museum strains of bacteria. Efficiency of decamethoxin was higher.

Purpose: Oral mucositis (OM) reflects a complex interplay of several risk factors. Machine learning (ML) is a promising frontier in science, capable of processing dense information. This study aims to assess the performance of ML in predicting OM risk in patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy.

Background: Orbital lymphomas are the most frequently occurring malignant tumor entities in this region. They are less frequently also localized in the ocular adnexa and show a high entity-specific heterogeneity regarding the treatment and prognosis.
Objective: This article gives an overview of the heterogeneity of symptoms of orbital lymphoma and lymphoma of the ocular adnexa and focuses on new systemic options for treatment of this disease.

In the process of orthodontic clinical teaching, it is very important to teach medical students how they are expected to communicate effectively with patients and their families, as this has a direct impact on patient compliance throughout the process of diagnosis and treatment and on patient satisfaction after treatment. Doctor-patient communication is therefore an essential skill for medical students to gain before taking up clinical work. In view of the problems that are often encountered in each stage of orthodontic treatment, the present paper discusses the specific content of doctor-patient communication education in clinical teaching.

Background/purpose: Many designs of static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS) are available for clinician to achieve proper implant position. However, there were not any studies that approached the design alone to evaluate whether sleeve-in-sleeve or sleeve-on-drill design provided most accuracy implant position. The purpose of this study was to investigate the precision of implant placement with sleeve-in-sleeve and sleeve-on-drill static computer assisted implant surgery (sCAIS) designs.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) is a field that straddles knowledge and clinical experience from both medical and dental specialties. In the small island nation of Singapore, the rapidly and constantly changing needs of its diverse and aging population, as well as changes in the mindsets of both students and educators have led to many developments in the local OMS program. Tied to the only dental school in the country, the curriculum of the training program has kept up with the changes in the demographics and attitudes of the local patient pool, which comprises a multicultural population with both traditional and modern mindsets.
