AI Article Synopsis
- Maxillofacial fractures are common in emergency departments and can lead to serious health issues like morbidity and facial disfigurement.
- The frequency and causes of these fractures differ globally due to various factors such as geography and culture.
- A study of 176 patients conducted from January 2019 to September 2020 aimed to analyze the patterns and causes of maxillofacial fractures.
Article Abstract
Maxillofacial fractures are one of the common presentations in an emergency department. They are considered to be one of the significant and dominant conditions that requires treatment as the fractures can result in morbidity, mortality, psychological, functional disability, and facial mutilation. The incidence, patterns, and etiology of maxillofacial fractures vary from one country to another due to the geographical, cultural, social, and economic differences. The present study included 176 patients from January 2019 to September 2020 that aimed to evaluate the pattern of maxillofacial fractures and to learn the etiology for the same.

Experimental investigation and finite element analysis on the durability of root-filled teeth treated with multisonic irrigation.
Dent Mater
January 2025
Minnesota Dental Research Center for Biomaterials and Biomechanics, School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA. Electronic address:
Objective: This study compared the fracture load, stress distribution, and survival probability under cyclic loading of extensively restored teeth treated with multisonic irrigation with those treated with conventional instrumentation, with or without a post.
Methods: Mesial-occlusal-distal cavities were prepared in 30 human mandibular premolars. The teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 based on the endodontic and restorative procedures: (1) Root canal treatment (RCT) followed by resin composite restoration (control group), (2) RCT followed by a glass fiber post restoration (conventional group), and (3) minimal instrumentation plus multisonic irrigation followed by resin composite restoration (GW group).
Assessing the need for specialty consultation for isolated medial orbital wall fractures.

October 2024
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Boston Medical Center, Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Objective: This objective was to assess if the current practice of interfacility transfer and immediate specialty consult is justified by the rate of surgical repair for isolated medial orbital wall fractures.
Study Design: This is a retrospective descriptive study utilizing the records of all patients with isolated medial orbital wall fractures who presented to the ED at Boston Medical Center from January 2014 to December 2022. A descriptive analysis was completed.
Characterization of a Novel Col1a1 Osteogenesis Imperfecta Mouse Model with Insights into Skeletal Phenotype, Fragility, and Therapeutic Evaluations.
Calcif Tissue Int
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita, Japan.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inheritable skeletal disorder characterized by bone fragility often caused by pathogenic variants in the COL1A1 gene. Current OI mouse models with a glycine substitution in Col1a1 exhibit excessive severity, thereby limiting long-term pathophysiological analysis and drug effect assessments. To address this limitation, we constructed a novel OI mouse model mimicking a patient with OI type III.

January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Objective: To investigate the incidence and etiology of maxillofacial trauma (MFT) and its association with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Background: Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is an association between MFT and TBI and that higher incidences of TBI are associated with frontal bone and mid-facial fractures. Despite the large volume of maxillofacial facial fractures treated in the authors' unit, no study has been undertaken to establish the relationship between TBI and maxillofacial fractures.
Intraoperative Skull Fracture During Halo Application in Subcranial Le Fort III: Strategies for Managing a Rare Complication.
J Craniofac Surg
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Craniofacial Surgery, Nemours Children's Health, Jacksonville, FL.
External rigid distraction is an established method for achieving subcranial Le Fort III advancement in severe syndromic craniosynostosis. Craniofacial surgeons commonly use halo-type devices for these corrections, as they allow for multiple vectors of pull and facilitate larger midfacial advancements. Although most complications related to their use involve pin displacement or infection, rare complications such as skull fractures have been reported.
