Lee, Michael Qiu, Jiandong Sun Abstract: The algorithm for maxillofacial trauma management is well defined; however, provision of alcohol assessment for patients after trauma is not widely practiced. This study aims to investigate the rate of alcohol assessment achieved within the demographic characteristics of patients with facial trauma and the circumstances where this intervention was implemented. Detection of major histocompatibility complex molecules in processed allogeneic bone blocks for use in alveolar ridge reconstruction Authors: Tobias Fretwurst, Lames M. Gad, Thorsten Steinberg, Hagen Schmal, Robert Zeiser, Anna-K. Amler, Katja Nelson, Brigitte Altmann Abstract: Because processed allogenic bone blocks contain remnants of cells and other organic material, the present study examined the putative presence of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules in protein extracts derived from processed allogeneic bone blocks. Corrective outcome and transverse stability after orthognathic surgery using a surgery-first approach in mandibular prognathism with and without facial asymmetry Authors: Jinyuan Guo, Tongyue Wang, Jeong Joon Han, Seunggon Jung, Min- Suk Kook, Hong-Ju Park, Hee- Kyun Oh Abstract: The aim of the study was to systematically identify criteria used to diagnose patients with trigeminal nerve injury. Prognostic indicators of improved survival and quality of life in surgically treated oral cancer Authors: Giancarlo Tirelli, Annalisa Gatto, Pierluigi Bonini, Margherita Tofanelli, Zoran M. Arnež, Alice Piccinato Abstract: No published study has analyzed the prognostic factors of surgically treated oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in relation to both survival and quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to analyze postoperative QoL in relation to survival to identify which parameters can predict the long-term outcome allowing the best QoL.
