Article Abstract
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons experience high levels of stress and work-home conflict, which predispose them to burnout. There is emerging evidence in support of work-life integration to prevent burnout; interventional strategies exist on an individual and organizational level. This article explores the current evidence on promoting work-life integration for improved surgeon satisfaction, performance, and efficiency. Work-life integration initiatives can help promote the recruitment and retention of a diverse surgical workforce in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
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.
Objective: To propose a European consensus for managing and treating laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) to guide primary care and specialist physicians.
Methods: Twenty-three European experts (otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons) participated in a modified Delphi process to revise 38 statements about the definition, clinical management, and treatment of LPRD. Three voting rounds were conducted on a 5-point scale and a consensus was defined a priori as agreement by 80% of the experts.
