The first one, by Jeffrey C. Posnick, DMD, MD, discusses in depth the milestone contributions of notable surgeons and orthodontist pioneers in orthognathic surgery (OGS).  This article discusses the history of innovative care solutions for treating jaw deformities and how they\u2019ve led to new treatment options, including the impact of technology in dramatically reducing the barriers to treatment. I also discuss an article by Jordan S. Elmowitz, DMD&amp;nbsp; et al. that shares the findings from a study of the current pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of postoperative pain control following oral and maxillofacial surgery. The study included surgery patients undergoing the extraction of third molars and the use and effectiveness of rescue analgesics.  Listen in to learn about my treatment plan to reduce narcotic prescriptions while making my patients more comfortable.
