RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is a dental specialty evolving from the anatomical region of head and neck. Differing from the belief, its scope does not start and end with teeth. The aim of the study was to survey the perception of OMFS among dental, medical, and paramedical professionals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A structured questionnaire cross-sectional survey made up of 17 clinical situations pertaining to various complaints of patients was distributed among 50 medical and dental undergraduates, 50 medical and dental practitioners, and 50 general populations with a total number of 250 samples who were selected randomly. The collected data was tabulated using Microsoft excel for any predictable patterns. The results were analyzed taking absolute percentages of the responses into consideration. RESULTS: The results were compiled and tabulated and the data analyzed. While wisdom tooth removal, trauma, and facial bone fractures were recognized to be mainly treated by maxillofacial surgeons, the other maxillofacial problems were poorly recognized to be treated by our specialty. In our study, 67.3% of general public and 62.4% of medical professionals approached other medical specialist for the clinical conditions. The Chi-square results of few clinical situations were statistically significant with a P value of less than 0.05, which suggest that there is indeed a statistically significant difference between the responses of medical profession and the public on whom to approach regarding certain clinical cases. CONCLUSION: The study revealed that the majority of the public are lacking in knowledge about the benefits that the specialty can offer. It has been found that even though the Medical professionals are better informed, lacunae existed about information as to where our major activity lies. If patients are to have access to the best treatment available, it is essential that we edify the public about the scope of our specialty.

RESUMO

Malignant melanoma is a neoplasm of epidermal melanocytes. It is one of the most biologically unpredictable and deadly of all human neoplasms. However, malignant melanoma in the oral cavity is a rare malignancy, accounting for 0.2% to 8% of all melanomas. It has a grave prognosis, with a 5 year survival of 10-20%. We present a case of malignant melanoma of lingual gingiva of left mandibular molars with ipsilateral submandibular lymph node metastasis. We performed peripheral osteotomy of primary lesion followed by modified radical neck dissection by sparing internal jugular vein and patient had received postoperative radiotherapy.
