Tooth extraction is a common minor oral surgical procedure that is performed frequently by dental surgeons worldwide. It is carried out in all age groups and has been studied extensively in adults. However, tooth extractions in the middle-aged and older population could be complicated by both local and systemic conditions. This was a prospective study of patients aged >50 years who presented to a teaching hospital in Nigeria between January 2018 and December 2022 for single tooth extraction and who were medically fit for surgery. A detailed dental and medical history was taken for each patient, intraoral and extraoral examinations were performed, and investigations were carried out to determine the diagnosis. Data were analysed with SPSS® Statistics. A total of 311 patients met the inclusion criteria during the study period. Their mean age was 65 years (standard deviation: 9.7 years, range: 50–104 years). Almost two-thirds of the patients were women (n=195, 63%) and the male-to-female ratio was 1:1.7. Most of the male patients (n=44, 38%) were aged >70 years whereas most of the female patients (n=79, 41%) were aged 61–70 years. Thirteen different indications for tooth extraction were noted among the patients. The most common systemic conditions were hypertension (n=37, 40%), peptic ulcer disease (n=34, 37%) and diabetes mellitus (n=9, 10%). Systemic conditions among this patient cohort appear to be a common finding. Dental caries and its complications were the most common reason why the patients in our study presented for tooth extraction.

We describe our experience of multidisciplinary teamworking in the oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) department at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, which has a unique setup including both foundation doctors and dental core trainees (DCTs). Very few other units in the UK utilise DCTs and foundation doctors working together at a junior level in OMFS. This article explores the advantages and disadvantages of this interdisciplinary approach, and why we believe that other departments should also adopt this strategy

The Microsoft HoloLens is a mixed reality device with the capability to provide a real-time 3D platform using multiple sensors and holographic processing to display information, and even to simulate a virtual world. With rapidly evolving technology and virtual learning on the increase, the HoloLens can be used as a vital tool for education and surgical planning. The aim of this pilot study was to ascertain its benefit in dental education and in the surgical planning of complex oral surgery procedures. A cohort of postgraduate dentists working at the Eastman Dental Hospital in London were shown two holographic videos. Participation was voluntary and an email invitation was sent to all non-consultant grade dental staff across multiple dental specialties. The cases demonstrated were a mandibular third molar in close association with the inferior alveolar nerve and an impacted tooth. Each video had a narration and explanation by a consultant oral surgeon. After having watched the videos, participants were asked to rate seven statements using a Likert scale. Eighty-two per cent of participants reported improved comprehension of orientating anatomical structures. All participants (100%) noted improved confidence in surgical planning. Ninety-four per cent believed that the technology was an invaluable surgical tool in postgraduate training. Augmented reality has the potential to change the face of surgery in the 21st century. This technology can be used to improve surgical training, especially in an environment where hands-on training is limited and virtual learning is promoted.
微软 HoloLens 是一款混合现实设备,能够利用多个传感器和全息处理技术提供一个实时 3D 平台来显示信息,甚至模拟虚拟世界。随着技术的快速发展和虚拟学习的不断增加,HoloLens 可作为教育和手术规划的重要工具。这项试验性研究旨在确定 HoloLens 在牙科教育和复杂口腔外科手术规划中的优势。在伦敦伊士曼牙科医院工作的一批研究生牙医观看了两段全息视频。参与是自愿的,电子邮件邀请函发给了多个牙科专业的所有非顾问级牙科工作人员。展示的病例是下颌第三磨牙与下牙槽神经紧密相连和一颗撞击牙。每段视频都有口腔外科医生顾问的旁白和解释。观看视频后,参与者被要求使用李克特量表对七项陈述进行评分。82%的参与者表示对解剖结构定向的理解能力有所提高。所有参与者(100%)都表示对手术规划的信心有所增强。94%的人认为,这项技术是研究生培训中非常宝贵的外科工具。增强现实技术有可能改变 21 世纪外科手术的面貌。这项技术可用于改善外科培训,尤其是在限制实践培训、提倡虚拟学习的环境中。
