Article Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess how oral and maxillofacial surgeons used various diagnostic tools for oral cancer.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional methodology was used, and a standardized questionnaire was given to oral and maxillofacial surgeons randomly chosen sample. The questionnaire gathered information on demographics and the use of diagnostic tools. Data analysis methods included Chi-square testing and descriptive statistics.
Results: The study included 200 oral and maxillofacial surgeons in total. The most often used diagnostic tool (95%) was visual inspection, followed by toluidine blue staining (48%) and brush biopsy (32%). Less frequently used were newer methods like optical coherence tomography (12.5%) and autofluorescence imaging (15%). No significant correlations between demographic factors and patterns of use of diagnostic tools were found by Chi-square tests.
Conclusion: The results show that oral and maxillofacial surgeons frequently use brush biopsy, toluidine blue staining, and ocular evaluation. However, there is a need for more widespread adoption of cutting-edge technologies. By removing obstacles and offering training opportunities, one can increase the use of diagnostic tools, improving patient outcomes and the diagnosis of oral cancer.

A scoping review of formal leadership training in maxillofacial surgery. Are we nurturing or neglecting tomorrow's leaders?
Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg

Leadership is increasingly recognised as an essential non-technical skill for effective surgical practice, particularly in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) due to its multidisciplinary nature and clinical scope. The aim of this review is to identify current leadership development opportunities available to UK OMFS specialty trainees, evaluate their sufficiency, and propose areas for improvement. A comprehensive search of published and grey literature was conducted, screening 2796 articles, with 18 meeting the inclusion criteria.

This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of arthroscopic discopexy using resorbable pins in the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement over a 10-year follow-up period. A retrospective analysis was conducted on thirty-three patients who underwent arthroscopic discopexy with resorbable pins between January 2007 and November 2013. Clinical outcomes, including maximal interincisal opening (MIO), lateral movements (LM), protrusive movement (PM), joint pain with the visual analogue scale (VAS), joint locking, and clicking; were assessed at one, three, and six months and at 1.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the toxicity of triclosan in the Danio rerio model and mammalian cells, as well as to assess its antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against selected bacterial pathogens.
Methods: Triclosan toxicity was assessed in Danio rerio embryos in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 236: Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity (FET) Test. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in vitro using the MTT assay on human dermal fibroblasts (BJ) and rat cardiomyoblasts (H9c2).

Immunotherapy has overturned the traditional perception of cancer treatment and brought new vitality to the field of oncology, but it still has unresolved problems such as a low response rate and severe side effects. The microbiome has been found to be involved in tumorigenesis, progression, metastasis and immunity modulation. Especially in immunity, the microbiome plays a key role through delicate mechanisms that regulate the immune response not only from the whole body to the local tumor microenvironment but also from innate to adaptive immunity.

Introduction: Aberrant biomechanical force-induced chondrocyte adipogenesis is involved in the development of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA). Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) has been implicated in this process. However, whether mechanosensitive histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) regulates GDF11 signaling in the context of TMJ OA remains to be elucidated.
