Improving communication through publications: contributions of American oral and maxillofacial surgery

The Journal of Oral Surgery was the first specialty publication in the United States and since 1943 it, its successor, the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and other publications of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons have been committed to communication within the specialty, among dental specialties, and with dentists in general practice. A review of back issues of the journal is a history of the development of the specialty. AAOMS publications are intended to share emerging scientific and clinical knowledge, inform and educate all dentists, and establish standards for quality patient care.

Reporting of ethical protection in recent oral and maxillofacial surgery research involving human subjects

This retrospective observational study investigated the frequency of reporting ethical approval and informed consent in recently published oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) research involving human subjects. All research involving human subjects published in the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery during January to June 2005–2007 were analysed for disclosure of ethical approval by a local ethical committee and obtaining informed consent from the subjects. 534 articles were identified; ethical approval was documented in 118 (22%) and individual patient consent in 135 (25%). 355 reports (67%) did not include a statement on ethical approval or informed consent and only 74 reports (14%) disclosed statements of both. Ethical documentation in retrospective and observational studies was scant; 12% of randomised controlled trials and 38% of non-random trials did not report both of ethical protections. Most recent OMS publications involving humans failed to mention ethical review or subjects’ consent. Authors must adhere to the international research ethics guidelines and journal instructions, while editors should play a gatekeeper role to protect research participants, uphold scientific integrity and maintain public trust in the experimental process and OMS profession.     

A synopsis of technical notes published in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2009/2010

Technical notes form an important part of the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (BJOMS). Many ideas are novel and some change practice. During 2009–2010, 39 technical notes were published in the journal, and they covered the whole remit of the specialty. In this article we briefly review and summarise these articles, and highlight the salient points.     

A review of technical notes published in BJOMS: a comparison 10 years on

Technical notes are known to be a popular method of publishing novel surgical techniques, up-to-date technological advances, and tricks of the trade in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS). The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (BJOMS) has a dedicated section for such papers, and this article explores the publication of technical notes over the last two years. In addition, comparison is made with previous reviews of technical notes in this journal a decade ago, to explore the progression of diversity and evolving topics of interest to the oral and maxillofacial surgery community.     

Top 100 cited systematic reviews and meta-analyses in the major journals of oral and maxillofacial surgery: a bibliometric analysis

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.

     

A synopsis of oncology and oncology-related papers published in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 2007–2008

This paper provides a summary of the 95 papers related to oncology that were published in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (BJOMS) during 2007–2008. They include full length articles on clinical studies, radiology, basic science, and reconstruction in oral, and head and neck cancer. The journal also publishes technical notes and short communications. It encompasses the whole remit of the specialty and it is encouraging that authors choose to submit their work to BJOMS, but to improve the quality and status of the journal, we need to increase the ratio of full length articles to other submissions.Reviews of other subspecialties will be published in due course.     

A synopsis of head and neck oncology and related papers published in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2009/10

This review summarises all head and neck oncology and related papers published in the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (BJOMS) during the period 2009-2010. A similar review, covering the years 2007-2008 was published in the Journal in 2009 and was well received by readers, as evidenced by the high number of downloads from the BJOMS website. In this article, we include all head and neck oncology-related articles published in the print version of the journal during 2009/10 and concentrate on summarising the full length article papers. Compared to the previous 2-year period, there has been a 25% increase in number of articles published in this sub-specialty.     

2001-2006年国内循证口腔医学文献分析

目的:对2001-2006年国内专业期刊发表的循证口腔医学文献进行分析。方法:利用清华同方知网技术产业集团出版的CNKI数据库为主要检索工具,以关键词和主题词检索出2001-2006年国内期刊发表的有关循证口腔医学论文,应用文献计量学方法对其进行分析。结果:检出论文74篇,文献基本呈逐年增长趋势。循证口腔医学研究热点为口腔黏膜病及口腔颌面外科疾病等,国内刊登循证医学文献的主要期刊是《中国循证医学杂志》、《中华口腔医学杂志》、《中国口腔颌面外科杂志》。结论:迄今为止,相当一部分为重复性的循证医学介绍,创新性不强,深入研究不够,采用Meta分析的文献极为少见。     

A 21-year analysis of the publication patterns and level of scientific evidence in three major oral and maxillofacial surgery journals

High-quality research in surgical sciences is constrained by a number of barriers including funding, blinding, adjusting for surgical experience, and inability to recruit sufficient numbers. As a result, surgeons have been reported to accept lower levels of scientific evidence to validate procedures. Our study analysed the quantity and quality of publications in three journals in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery over a 21-year period. A retrospective analysis of all issues published between 1998 and 2018 in the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was conducted. A total of 14,324 articles were analysed and grouped according to their National Health and Medical Research Council of evidence. The analysis revealed that there has been a promising increase in both the quantity and quality of publications with statistically significant increases in each of the variables analysed. We found a statistically significant increase in the number of articles published in the most recent decade compared with the previous decade across the three journals. The level of evidence also increased during the study period, with greater numbers of level I and II studies being published in more recent years. These findings were found to be statistically significant (P ? 0.001).     

Assessing neck extension-flexion as a basis for temporomandibular joint dysfunction

In the August 1987 issue of the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Weinberg and LaPointe published an article entitled "Cervical Extension-Flexion Injury (Whiplash) and Internal Derangement of the Temporomandibular Joint" in which they proposed an explantation for injury to the temporomandibular joint resulting from certain motor vehicle accidents. In this article, the previous mechanism is assessed and the authors conclude that it is inaccurate.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Oral Surgery — what’s the difference? A Western Australian dental student survey

Confusion exists around the terms ‘Oral Surgeon’ and ‘Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon’. Historical terms and international differences have added to this confusion. Recently, the University of Sydney has begun to offer a Doctor of Clinical Dentistry in Oral Surgery to graduate dentists. With this new dental specialty entering the Australian workforce, distinction must be made between their role and the role of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons to facilitate effective referral pathways. A cross sectional survey of 3rd and 4th year dental students was distributed in June 2019. Students were queried with regards to their perception of the scope of practice of Oral Surgeons and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons as well as their knowledge of the training pathways and level of interest in pursuing either pathway. A total of 85% of students responded. Responses indicated a general awareness of the increased scope of practice of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons with some exceptions. No significant difference was seen between third and fourth year responses. Knowledge of both training pathways was lacking. Further education is required with regards to the scope of practice of both specialties. A lack of exposure to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery during the undergraduate years may be partly to blame. Consideration should be given to the renaming of Oral Surgery to Surgical Dentistry.
