Current trends in the treatment of maxillofacial injuries in the United States.
This report presents the results of a 1987 survey of members of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons used to assess current national and regional trends in the management of maxillofacial trauma. Comparisons are also made with a similar British survey done in 1980. The results show differences between the two countries as well as regional differences within the United States. The significance of these findings are discussed.

Long-term status of TMJ clicking in patients with myofascial pain and dysfunction.
This study evaluated the long-term changes in TMJ clicking and general TM disorder symptoms in 190 subjects originally treated by conservative, nonsurgical modalities that were not specifically directed to the problems of TMJ noise or disk derangement. The findings are detailed and support the concept that if the symptoms of pain and dysfunction in patients with clicking can be treated successfully by conservative, nonsurgical modalities, it is generally not necessary to correct the internal derangement with surgery.

Evaluation of collagen/hydroxylapatite for augmenting deficient alveolar ridges: a preliminary report.
A multicenter study was undertaken to evaluate a new alveolar ridge augmentation material composed of purified fibrillar collagen and particulate hydroxylapatite (PFC/HA). In a study of 77 patients and 99 reconstructed ridges, this material provided superior handling properties over HA alone as evidenced by its ease of surgical placement and manipulation, and the rarity of particle migration or displacement. Moreover, the rapid development of ridge firmness and stability allowed for the loading of dentures within three to six weeks. Prosthodontist evaluations and surveys of patient satisfaction showed great satisfaction with denture fit, comfort, esthetics, speech, and ability to masticate.
