Dive Into the Lives of OMF Surgeons Around the World

Systematic review of 105 open oral–maxillofacial imaging datasets (437,538 images from 21 countries). Nearly 80% include annotations, but only 25.7% report annotator qualifications. 83.8% don’t disclose ethics approvals; 61.9% specify reuse licenses (often CC BY). Authors call for standards and AI-specific consent to guide safe dataset reuse and AI development.

Our study maps the invasive front of oral cancer using spatial transcriptomics. We found that tumor cells are aided by an "accomplice": activated myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs). Through ECM-CD44 crosstalk, myCAFs enhance tumor cell stemness, creating a metastatic niche. From this interaction, we extracted a spatially resolved, 23-gene signature that predicts both lymph node metastasis and poor survival, which offers new prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

In Auckland, New Zealand, 3D-printed patient-specific biomodels are transforming clinical practice. Dr. James Olson shares how point-of-care printing enables faster, more accurate treatment for orbital, mandibular, and midface trauma cases—enhancing planning, reducing costs, and improving both surgical and teaching outcomes.

This case highlights the successful use of Presurgical Lip, Alveolus, and Nose Approximation (PLANA) in a male infant born at 39 weeks gestation with a right unilateral complete cleft lip and palate. The patient faced significant challenges, including a severe cleft deformity, feeding difficulties, and a cultural and language barrier with the parents. These factors made presurgical intervention essential to optimize outcomes for surgical repair.

The Australian & New Zealand Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons (ANZAOMS) which is the lead Surgical body in the Oceanic Region established the Australasian Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (AJOMS) in 2023.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) research in Brazil has experienced significant advancements driven by technological progress, refined surgical techniques, and robust academic research. This article reviews the current state of OMFS research in Brazil, identifying key areas of investigation, major contributing institutions, and the challenges faced by professionals in the field.
