Patients' clinical notes made at review appointments following removal of third molars under a general anaesthetic at five Mersey Hospitals have been compared with those formed from the recording of the findings of preselected tasks. Consistent high quality retrievable records were achieved using the preselected task forms, superior to those formed on blank paper.

The adult new patient attendances at a District General Hospital for 1988 and 1989 have been analysed and the patients with oral and maxillofacial injuries identified. The injuries were classified using the International Classification of Diseases. The time spent undertaking emergency surgery out of hours by each firm using the operating facility has been analysed. An argument for a national district service in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is developed and advanced drawing on the results obtained from the study.

Tumours of the nasopharynx, cervical spine and base of skull have been surgically excised using the Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy to gain access to them. Five cases that illustrate the versatility of the approach are presented. The Le Fort I osteotomy is recommended to oral and maxillofacial surgeons, ENT and neurosurgeons as a simple procedure to approach the described areas which leaves no external scars and gives good visualisation of the tumour to be removed.

Two extraoral techniques are compared with a direct technique for measuring maximal opening of the mouth. The extraoral techniques allow recording of the variable independent of the teeth. The accuracy and precision of the three techniques are calculated and compared statistically, and the significance of the results are discussed.

The early results of a technique of dieting enforced by maxillomandibular fixation for the treatment of the obese patient are reported. The results showed that some grossly obese patients can lose a considerable amount of weight with the technique. The maxillomandibular fixation was applied by metal cap splints and, clinically, they had no detrimental effect on the dental tissues.
