Machine Learning in Predicting Amebloastoma Recurrence presented by Dr. Crystal Wang
Ameloblastoma recurrence is clinically difficult to predict, there is insufficient evidence to correlate disease parameters and patient demographic to the recurrence. We hoped to explore the possibility of utilising supervised machine learning to assist clinical diagnosis. With recent increasing success of application amongst the medical field, we attempted to use random forest model to predict ameloblastoma recurrence.
Learning Objectives:
Random forest was able to predict ameloblastoma to a reliable degree. According to the random forest model, the most influential variables are initial surgery, tumour size and radiographic presentation.
Session 6
Next-Generation Regenerative Therapy for Radiation-Injured Salivary Gland Hypofunction presented by Dr. Takashi I
There are currently no effective treatments available for salivary gland function caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Recently, we developed an effective culture method to enhance the anti-inflammatory and vasculogenic phenotypes of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs), and such effectively conditioned PBMNC (E-MNC) therapy has shown promising improvements to the function of atrophic salivary gland.
Learning Objectives:
- We have developed a simple, rapid, and efficient method that provides a non-invasive source of therapeutic cells for regenerating radiation-injured salivary glands.
- On the basis of animal experiment, we also intend to apply E-MNC therapy for Sjögren's syndrome, and are preparing the clinical trial.

Updates in Traumatology
This session will be moderated by Dr. Leander Dubois and Dr. Yoshiki Hamada
Session 1
The Management of Airway in Trauma Patients presented by Dr. Jasjit Dillon
The dilemma regarding the management of condylar fractures generally revolves around the surgical approach; implant design and the surgeon’s experience. Zide and Kent’s guidelines streamlined the decision making process in condylar fractures. However, there exists no standardized protocol for reduction and fixation of condylar fractures. Here, we will discuss about a new 10-step protocol, common to any surgical approach, that would lead to predictable, reproducible and repeatable results in every surgeon’s hands. The protocol has been recently accepted for publication in the esteemed Journal of Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (JKAOMS).
Learning Objectives:
1. To discuss step-wise reduction and fixation of Subcondylar fractures.
2. To aid in predictable, reproducible and repeatable results in every young surgeon’s hands.
3. To describe the techniques and role of universal instruments in simplifying subcondylar fracture reduction.
Session 3
Gunshot Wounds to the Cranio-Maxillofacial Region: Our Experience in Meru, Kenya presented by Dr. James Kirimi
Decision making in treatment of mandibular condyle fractures depends on level of fracture, bilaterality, and degree of displacement. Conservative closed reduction is generally favored in minimally displace fractures. Yet open reduction and internal fixation can provide good results
Learning Objective:
Intraoral approach combined with transparotid stab incision can provide to access to condylar region for open reduction and internal fixation without damage of the facial nerve and temporomandibular joint and minimal visible scar.
