The purpose of this study was to confirm the success rate of surgical treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients at a single institution (Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (AAOMS) stages 1, 2, or 3), and to identify the factors that influence treatment outcomes. As a result of analyzing the outcomes of treatment, surgical “success” was achieved in 93.97% (109) of cases, and “failure” was observed at 6.03% (7) cases. Analysis of patient factors that potentially affect treatment outcomes showed that zoledronate dose (p = 0.005) and the IV (intravenous) injection of drugs (p = 0.044) had significant negative impacts.

The April issue of the FDJ was devoted to a series of articles about the specialty of oral surgery (OS), relating to both work and workforce. A twin track response by UK oral and maxillofacial surgeons may be summarised as a feeling that the debate so far has been rather one-sided and has not included any contribution from oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and a feeling that the Faculty of Dental Surgery (FDS) is less interested in and supportive of the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) than it used to be (regardless of whether this is true).

At the anniversary of a century since the establishment of medical higher education in the Romanian language, the authors present the personalities who shaped the future of dental surgery within the specialty of dental medicine, and then of the oral and maxillofacial surgery as a branch of stomatology, followed by the establishment of surgery as its own specialty and discipline. The evolutionary stages, difficulties and successes achieved by this specialty are presented through the various historical landmarks of the last century.

Objectives: Surgical treatment of patients with multiple mandibular fractures involving condylar segments may be a difficult proposition for a maxillofacial surgeon. These fractures can be double or triple fractures of the lower mandible and can also be associated with other fractures of the face. While many authors have suggested that the conventional approach to reducing and stabilizing a mandibular symphysis / para-symphysis fracture is appropriate before addressing a fractured condyle, there is another school of thought that suggests that the condylar segment should be reduced and repaired first. This article aims to review the results of operations where the reduction and fixation of a fractured condyle is performed prior to other associated mandible fractures, and to explore the effectiveness of various surgical methods including preauricular and retromandibular proposed in this case. Place and Duration: In the Oral and Maxillofacial surgery department of Faryal Dental College, Lahore for two-years duration from Jan 2018 to Jan 2020. Material and methods: The study included 60 surgically treated patients with multiple mandible fractures (double / triple), including the condyle component. For treatment of the fractured condylar segments, the preauricular and retromandibular (anterior parotid-transmasseteric) approach was used. Results: Condyle fracture was the first segment to be managed during sequencing of surgical treatment, regardless of the method used. First, good reduction and stabilization have been achieved with limited complications in treating a condyle fracture. Conclusion: While it is the surgeon's prerogative to sort multiple mandible fractures, addressing the condylar segment first provides the operator with a viable alternative to the conventional technique. Key words: condylar fractures, multiple mandibular fractures, preauricular approach, retromandibular approach

A document is presented with the results of various investigations related to data patterns, more specifically those that have been designed with intelligent computational tools. The use of data patterns in medicine is something that has emerged in recent decades and that increasingly presents development alternatives for engineering projects. Various scientific publications are evaluated in this document to relate engineering applications in medicine, and contrast the possible technological impact offered by computational sciences. Keywords: Engineering in medicine, pattern recognition, computer science. References [1]R. Pallás-Areny, «LA INGENIERÍA ELECTRÓNICA Y LA MEDICINA,» [En línea].

Education has undergone evolutionary changes necessary to be able to generate the necessary contributions for each era, thus creating spaces for discussion that produce new methodologies and new paradigms for teaching. The case of engineering is very particular in these times, and university education should make its best efforts to offer future engineers the necessary skills to face the challenges of modern industry. In this work a literature review is made to analyze the new educational proposals that will be necessary for the training of the engineer in times of industrial digitization. The results show that an adaptation to the teaching processes is necessary, such that an appropriate engineering training is feasible, which assists and meets the requirements of the industry of the future. Keywords: Educational methodologies, modern industry, teaching processes. References [1]La importancia de las letras, «La historia de la educación,» 2010. [Online].

From September 2001. to February 2004. in the Institute for ENT and Maxillofacial Surgery were investigated 107 patients with the inflammatory diseases of the maxillary sinuses. Patients with sinusitis were separated into group of patients with rhinogenic (72) and patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (35). We found that the etiology of odontogenic sinusitis was mostly artificial caused after some dental surgery (88%), what is totally opposite to the spontaneous etiology of rhinogenic sinusitis. Surgical treatment of rhinogenic sinusitis mostly was endonasal polypectomy with operation by Caldwell-Luc or FESS. Odontogenic sinusitises were mostly treated by FESS and surgical ? closing? of oral-antral fistula by local mucogingival flap (51%).

Purpose of the study. This study was to evaluate the use of buccal fat pad as an interpositioning material in surgical management of oral sub mucous fibrosis.Materials and methods. A series of 8 cases with proven oral sub mucous fibrosis, with mouth opening less than 20 mm, involving the buccal mucosa were treated surgically in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dental Surgery, Saveetha University, Chennai. Pedicled buccal fat pad was used as an interpositioning material to cover the raw areas in the oral cavity after incision and release of fibrous bands.Results. In 8 patients, the range of pre operative mouth opening was 3–18 mm (mean 14 mm). As the result of the successful surgical procedure, the size of the intra operative mouth opening was ranged from 25–38 mm (mean 33.25 mm). The patients were discharged 5–7 days after the operation. The range of the mouth opening at this time was 25–36 mm (mean 30.63 mm). The results were evaluated using student’s t test and found to be statistically significant. The pedicled grafts took up uneventfull.
