Survey of antibiotic prophylaxis for intraoral orthognathic surgery.

A survey was sent to 114 oral and maxillofacial surgery residency programs to determine the prophylactic use of antibiotics with intraoral orthognathic procedures. Seventy-four percent of the programs responded. Review of the data showed that all programs used antibiotic prophylaxis for intraoral orthognathic procedures, and that penicillin or a cephalosporin were the drugs most often used. However, there was no consistent protocol for the method or duration of drug administration. A discussion of rationale for antibiotic usage, concentration, and duration is presented.

A modified approach to the ilium to obtain graft material.

The ilium is a commonly utilized site for obtaining graft material for maxillofacial reconstruction. Pain, decreased mobility, and equivocal esthetics are complications sometimes encountered postoperatively with most current ilium harvesting techniques. A new approach to the ilium for obtaining marrow and cancellous bone was used in 26 cases during a one-year period. No complications encountered in the donor site. The technique is simple, allows simultaneous procedures, and is esthetically acceptable.
