Oral and maxillofacial surgery has seen various advancements throughout years. From dental implants to 3D printing, every advancement this field has witnessed has taken it one step ahead into the future. Reconstructive surgeries in oral and maxillofacial surgery have evolved drastically over the years. Till now, autografts are considered the best possible alternative to soft tissue or hard tissue defects. The advent of 3D bioprinting has not only broadened the vision of surgeons, physicians, and bioengineers but also enkindled the hope for a better future in reconstructive surgeries. All in all, the facial structures are full of complexities and loss of tissues in maxillofacial area is much common. 3D bioprinting with the ability to print a tissue with pre-defined arrangement of cells having its own vascularization can prove to be a valuable tool in the field of maxillofacial surgeries. Although still it has a long way to go to make it accessible for all, 3D bioprinting can be considered an asset for the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. This article throws some light on the applications of 3D bioprinting in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery and the promising future it holds in reconstructive surgeries.Structured abstract is required.

Top 100 cited systematic reviews and meta-analyses in the major journals of oral and maxillofacial surgery: a bibliometric analysis.
  • Sep 7, 2021
  • Oral and maxillofacial surgery
  • Ahmed Saleh Alkhutari + 4 more

The aim of this bibliometric research was to identify and analyze the top 100 cited systematic reviews in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery in order to guide any professional level with interest in this topic and to map the current trends the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Using the Web of Science database without restrictions on publication year or language, a bibliometric analysis was performed for the five major journals of oral and maxillofacial surgery: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (IJOMS), Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (JOMS), Journal of Cranio-maxillofacial Surgery (JCMS),British Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (BJOMS), and Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology (Triple-O). The most top-cited systematic review was published in 2015 with a total of 200 citations on survival and success rates of dental implants, consistent with the finding that "pre- and peri-implant surgery and dental implantology," and "craniomaxillofacial deformities and cosmetic surgery" were the most frequently cited topics (22% each). The majority of top cited papers were published in IJOMS (43%), followed by JOMS (34%), Triple-O (8%), JCMS(8%) and BJOMS(7%). The highest number of contributions was from the Netherlands, followed by Italy and USA. The outcome of this article can be used as a source of information and to guide not just researchers but also clinicians and students to which areas are trending in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, thus also having a large impact on the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. However, this article cannot reflect the quality of the included systematic reviews.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Why the double degree?
  • Jan 1, 2002
  • Journal of College of Medicine
  • Chima Oji

The International Association of oral and maxillofacial Surgeons (IAOMS) is committed to quality patient care. The education of oral and maxillofacial surgeons has, however, been in constant evolution ever since the inception of this speciality; and this state of flux reflects the dynamic expansion of its scope. Oral surgery has a unique relationship with medicine and dentistry as it straddles both professions. To understand this dynamic expansion, it is pertinent to review the present scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Today an oral and maxillofacial surgeon’s training includes management of trauma, surgical reconstruction of acquired and developmental deformities, temporomandibular joint surgery, dentoalveolar surgery, preprosthetic surgery including implants, management of odontogenic infections, management of oral pathology, and administration of general anaesthesia and sedation. The oral and maxillofacial surgeon routinely treats patients with systemic diseases such as acute and chronic alcoholism, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular and pulmonary disease, neurological problems, as well as drug abusers. The new requirement for oral and maxillofacial surgery training programmes is 48 months with rotations in anaesthesia, medicine and surgery, and a minimum of 30 months in the oral and maxillofacial surgery service. Eighteen months of off-service rotations, most or all of which are taken at an intern or resident level instead of medical student or clerk level, give oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) residents high quality medical education. Their rotation in general surgery and surgical sub-specialties result in a broad exposure to the concepts and principles of surgery beyond that provided by the oral and maxillofacial surgery rotation. It is the dental education that differentiates oral and maxillofacial surgeons from other surgical specialties; therefore, formal dental education culminating in a D.D.S or D.M.D. degree is strongly encouraged. It is most desirable that this formal dental education be complemented by formal medical education culminating in a medical degree. [Jnl College of Medicine Vol.7(1) 2002: 27-29]

Current Management of Patients Taking Immunosuppressive Medication and Targeted Therapies: National Survey Within Oral Surgery and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • May 20, 2025
  • Oral Surgery
  • Kirsty Skye Dickson + 5 more

ABSTRACTIntroductionSystemic immunosuppressive medication and targeted therapies (IMTT) can increase the risk of surgical procedures to patients. The risks of continuing their systemic IMTT medication during the pre‐, peri‐ and post‐operative period must be weighed up against the risk of stopping their medication. Currently, there is a paucity of evidence and national guidance on the management of oral surgery and oral and maxillofacial surgery patients taking IMTT.Materials and MethodsA cross‐sectional online survey was distributed to clinicians within primary and secondary care who were providing oral surgery or oral and maxillofacial surgery services. Distribution was through the British Association of Oral Surgery (BAOS) and the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (BAOMS). The survey explored current practice and available guidance with regard to alteration of IMTT dosing intervals and contact with the prescribing clinician.ResultsOne hundred and forty‐six surveys were completed by clinicians working in oral surgery or maxillofacial surgery settings, and general dental practitioners with a special interest in oral surgery. The majority of responses were collected from clinicians practising in the UK both in primary and secondary care. The results show that clinicians frequently treat patients taking IMTT. Currently, there are a variety of approaches to managing patients on IMTT and a lack of standardisation across the specialities.ConclusionFurther research and evidence‐based national guidance, specifically for oral surgery and oral and maxillofacial surgery, would provide clarity on the optimal care for those taking IMTT.

Fused Deposition Modeling 3D Printing in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Problems and Solutions
  • Sep 7, 2022
  • Cureus
  • Takashi Kamio + 1 more

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in medicine is one of the new and innovative technology for fabricating 3D models of complex anatomical structures that can be observed both visually and haptically. Patient-specific 3D models fabricated through this process are currently being used for various purposes, including surgical simulation, training, and medical education. Most of the personal use/low-end desktop 3D printers that are becoming widespread are fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printers. Compared to professional/high-end 3D printers, the price of the personal use/low-end desktop FDM 3D printer itself, filament, and running costs are lower; it can lower the economic bottleneck for introducing 3D printing technology into clinical practice, such as surgical simulation. With a desktop FDM 3D printer and a general-purpose PC, anyone can now rapidly fabricate 3D models on their own without having to rely on 3D printing labs and specialized technicians. However, it is also true that FDM 3D printers, due to their mechanical characteristics, encounter many difficulties and problems that emerge during the 3D printing process. Knowledge, know-how, and tips about FDM 3D printers have been introduced in various media, and it has become easy to know about them worldwide via the Internet. However, there has been no comprehensive technical review to date to produce osseous 3D models for use in oral and maxillofacial surgery. In this report, to create 3D models according to the characteristics of maxillofacial and oral surgery, we enable surgeons themselves to create 3D models smoothly by presenting ideas for CT scanning, points to note when exporting Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) image data, how to create optimal stereolithography (STL) models, and problems and solutions for 3D printing.
