Oral surgery in Norwegian general dental practice--a survey. Extent, scope, referrals, emergencies, and medically compromised patients.

A questionnaire containing 37 questions concerning oral surgery and oral medicine was mailed to a systematic random sample of 500 Norwegian general dental practitioners in October 1989. A 60% return rate was obtained. From the 20 questions included in this paper the following conclusions were drawn: Norwegian general practitioners perform a substantial number and diversity of procedures in the field of oral surgery and oral medicine. The predictor variables sex, age, geographic location, and type of practice (private/public) showed by multiple classification analysis only limited correlation with the amount and diversity of procedures. On average, 12.3 patients were referred per practitioner per year to specialists in oral surgery. The indicated need for orthognathic consultations was 0.75 patient per year per practitioner. Serious emergencies demanding referral seldom occurred. Each month 6.6 medically compromised patients were seen in general practice, among which cardiovascular disorders dominated.

Dr. W. Harry Archer, DDS, MA, 1905-1980 a life of dedication to oral surgery.

The life of the American oral surgeon Dr. W. Harry Archer was one that affected and inspired, and sometimes incensed, those who knew him and those who would follow him. His life long devotion to the dental specialty of oral surgery was a driving force that caused dramatic changes in aspects of not only oral surgery but of dentistry as a whole. His excellence in leadership, teaching, research, and writing were among his many accomplishments that firmly place him among the eternal giants of the dental community.

Minor oral surgery 'specialisation' in general dental practice.

A practitioner with 4 years' hospital oral surgery experience undertook minor oral surgery procedures within a general dental practice over a 4-year period. The variety of work completed is shown. The National Health Service fees for the procedures indicate that a practice limited to minor oral surgery is both practically and financially viable when referral fees and x-rays are included. Differences in the types of procedure undertaken by visiting 'specialist' practitioners and 'specialist' practices is highlighted. A population of 310,000 is suggested for a 'specialist' practice in minor oral surgery to be feasible.

[The present states and considerations of orthognathic surgery in Japan. Questionnaire in department of orthodontics of university dental hospital, and department of oral surgery of university medical hospital].

To investigate the present state of orthognathic surgery, questionnaires were sent to 30 departments of orthodontics of university dental hospital and 60 departments of oral surgery of university medical hospital. 1. Orthognathic surgery was carried out in 100% of the departments of orthodontics and 91.8% of the departments of oral surgery examined. 2. There was a difference in the number of patients between individual hospitals. 3. Analyses of cephalogram were used in 96% of the departments of orthodontics and 93% of the departments of oral surgery. 4. Pre- and post-surgical orthodontic treatments were carried out in all of the departments of orthodontics. 5. Orthodontic appliances (83.9%) were used in the departments of orthodontics for intermaxillary fixation, while orthodontic appliances (47.8%) and wire splints (49.2%) were used in the departments of oral surgery. 6. It is pointed out that the criterion of orthognathic surgery, treatment objectives on soft and hard tissue, selection of surgical method, adaptability of soft tissue after surgery, relapse, treatment planning of two jaw surgery, and postoperative stability remain to be solved in future.

Trends in oral surgery in England and Wales 1991-2000.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate trends in oral surgery in England and Wales 1991-2000. METHODS: Oral surgery procedure data were derived from Dental Practice Board and Department of Health Hospital Episode Statistics. RESULTS: There was a 6% increase in minor oral surgery (MOS) procedures, including ordinary extractions, extractions of special difficulty, apicectomies and third molar removals, carried out in the General Dental Services (GDS) but the number of third molars removed fell by 32% after 1997. General anaesthetics (GA) administered in the GDS fell by 77% and the number of sedations rose 54% after 1998. There was concentration of minor oral surgery in practices: in the year 2000, 88% of practitioners carried out less than five third molar removals. In the Hospital Dental Service (HDS) there was a 98% increase in day surgery, and a 53% decrease in ordinary admissions for minor oral surgery. HDS waiting times remained constant over the ten year period. CONCLUSIONS: The principal trends were substantial decreases in apicectomies, third molar removals after 1997 and GAs after 1998; increases in extractions of special difficulty and concentration of MOS in the GODS. Numbers of ordinary extractions did not change. In the HDS there was a large shift from in-patient to daycase provision which has facilitated expansion of maxillofacial surgery. This is an important example of NHS reconfiguration. Perhaps the most important implication of these changes concerns the place of MOS in vocational training.
