- OBJECTIVE: To answer the question whether temporomandibular disorders (TMD) were more common in a group of individuals referred for orthognathic surgery than in a control group. The null hypothesis was that neither the frequency of signs and symptoms of TMD or diagnosed TMD would differ between the patient group and a control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A sample of 121 consecutive patients referred for orthognathic surgery at the Department of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, Malmö University Hospital, Sweden, was interviewed and examined regarding signs and symptoms of TMD and headaches. A control group was formed by 56 age- and gender-matched individuals attending the Department of Oral Diagnosis, Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University, Sweden, and Public Dental Health Clinic in Oxie, County of Skane, Sweden. TMD diagnoses were used according to Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). RESULTS: The patient group showed more myofascial pain without limited opening, disc displacement with reduction, and arthralgia according to RDC/TMD than the control group. The patient group also had more symptoms and signs of TMD in general. CONCLUSIONS: The null hypothesis was rejected because patients who were to be treated with orthognathic surgery had more signs and symptoms of TMD and higher frequency of diagnosed TMD compared with the matched control group.

- PURPOSE: This study was designed to explain our previous findings of beneficial effects of betamethasone given perioperatively on decreasing the incidence of neurosensory disturbance after sagittal split osteotomy and improving functional recovery after crush injury to rat sciatic nerves. We analysed the pattern of macrophage recruitment and expression of nerve growth factor p75. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The sciatic nerve was crushed in each of 42 animals by tying the nerve against a glass rod for 30s. Half the rats were given betamethasone and half were not. The effect of betamethasone was evaluated immunohistochemically in a double blind manner after 2, 7 and 17 days using antibodies against macrophage marker (ED1) and p75. RESULTS: We found an initial and significant decrease in the number of macrophages recruited after two days in the group treated with betamethasone compared with controls (p=0.001). By 7 days there were significantly more macrophages in the steroid group than in the control group (p=0.001). There was however, a tendency for the number of p75R to be higher in the in the steroid group but the difference was not significant. At 17 days, there were significantly fewer macrophages in the steroid group (p=0.008) than in the control. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the beneficial effect of a moderate perioperative dose of betamethasone on recovery of a nerve is reflected in the recruitment of macrophages but to only a small extent in expression of p75.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This retrospective study aimed at evaluating the long-term incidence of neurosensory disturbance (NSD) after sagittal split osteotomy (SSO) and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO). Furthermore, a comparison was made between the results obtained by questionnaires and information in the patient records in the evaluation of nerve function. Finally, the degree of discomfort caused by the NSD was evaluated. One hundred and twentynine patients, who underwent IVRO (79 patients) and SSO (50 patients), were included. Questionnaires were mailed to the patients at least one year after the operation. The records of all patients, who returned the questionnaires, were reviewed. The results of NSD obtained by questionnaires and records differed indicating a disagreement between the judgement of the surgeon and the patient's opinion. Long lasting NSD was underestimated by the surgeon as compared to the patient's subjective symptom. Long lasting NSD was reported in 7.5% (questionnaire), 3.8% (record) after IVRO and in 11.6% (questionnaire) and 8.1% (record) after SSO.

- Syftet med denna studie var att kliniskt utvärdera helkeramiska två- till femleds rekonstruktioner på implantat, samt att jämföra två olika keramiska system, Denzir® (DZ) och In-Ceram Zirconia® (InZ). Arton patienter behandlades med totalt 25 två- till femleds rekonstruktioner på implantat. Nio patienter fick rekonstruktioner utförda i DZ och nio patienter fick rekonstruktioner utförda i InZ. Rekonstruktionerna cementerades med zinkfosfatcement på preparerbara titandistanser. Rekonstruktionerna utvärderades efter 6- och 12 månader. Vid uppföljning efter 12 månader var alla 25 rekonstruktioner i funktion, inga hade frakturerat. Ytliga kohesiva, sk. chip-off, frakturer noterades däremot hos 6 av 18 patienter (8 av 25 rekonstruktioner). Nio led i DZ-gruppen (7 av 13 rekonstruktioner) och ett led i InZ-gruppen (1 av 12 rekonstruktioner) uppvisade chip-off frakturer. Skillnaden mellan de båda grupperna var statisktiskt signifikant (p< 0.01). Kantanslutningen bedömdes som utmärkt vid 34 stöd (56%) och acceptabel vid 27 stöd (44%). Resultat från denna 12 månaders uppföljning indikerar att helkeramiska två- till femleds rekonstruktioner på implantat kan övervägas som behandlingsalternativ. Vid jämförelse mellan de båda keramiska systemen är slutsatsen att DZ-systemet uppvisar oacceptabelt många frakturer i ytporslinet och därför inte kan rekommenderas för den typ av behandling som utvärderats här. Fortsatta studier och långtidsuppföljningar är nödvändiga innan ovan nämda material och teknik kan rekommenderas för allmänt bruk.
