Diagnosis and management of pediatric salivary gland infections
Patel, Ashish; Karlis, Vasiliki
2009 Aug;21(3):345-352, Oral & maxillofacial surgery clinics of North America
The incidence of salivary gland infections in the pediatric population is low but not infrequently seen in pediatric oral and maxillofacial surgery practices and hospital environs. With an ever increasing armamentarium of diagnostic tools and medical and surgical therapies, these patients can be managed successfully with minimum morbidity and decreased incidence of recurrences

Eating disorders in the female patient: pathophysiology and treatment strategies
Miranda, Gayle Tutone; Karlis, Vasiliki
2007 May;19(2):173-85, vi, Oral & maxillofacial surgery clinics of North America
Eating disorders are common in girls and women. Two common eating disorders--anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa--have significant medical complications. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons must be cognizant of the signs, symptoms, and medical consequences of these disorders. The increased incidence of these diseases has implications in the surgical management the oral and maxillofacial surgery patient. A review of the literature and guidelines in the perioperative management of these surgical patients are presented in this article

The recognition, physiology, and treatment of medication-induced methemoglobinemia: a case report
Turner, Michael D; Karlis, Vasiliki; Glickman, Robert S
2007 Fall;54(3):115-117, Anesthesia progress
Dapsone is a leprostatic agent commonly prescribed for the management of leprosy, malaria, and the immunosuppression-induced infections of Pneumocystis carinii and Toxoplasma gondii. In susceptible patients, methemoglobinemia, a potentially life-threatening event, can occur. We report a case of dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia which was observed during general anesthesia for the management of a fractured mandible. The pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia will be discussed

Management of the aging forehead: a review
Connor, M Scott; Karlis, Vasiliki; Ghali, G E
2003 Jun;95(6):642-648, Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology, & endodontics
Aging in the upper third of the face manifests as rhytids and ptosis of the frontal, glabellar, and brow regions. Frown lines may occur even in younger individuals as a result of habitual or dynamic forehead muscular hyperactivity. Multiple treatment options have been advocated to address forehead rhytids and brow ptosis. This article reviews 3 of the more commonly used treatment options: collagen, botulinum toxin, and surgical forehead lifting. Additionally, an algorithm is proposed as a guideline for selecting the most appropriate option for a given condition

Mandibular fracture as a complication of inferior alveolar nerve transposition and placement of endosseous implants: a case report
Karlis, Vasiliki; Bae, Richard D; Glickman, Robert S
2003 ;12(3):211-216, Implant dentistry
Placement of endosseous implants and inferior alveolar nerve transposition is a treatment option for patients with an edentulous posterior mandible with inadequate bone height superior to the inferior alveolar canal. Complications associated with these procedures include infection, prolonged neurosensory disturbances, and/or pathologic fracture. This report presents the surgical management of a patient with a mandible fracture after inferior alveolar nerve transposition with concurrent placement of two endosseous implants

A model to evaluate bone substitutes for immediate implant placement
Glickman RS; Bae R; Karlis V
2001 ;10(3):209-215, Implant dentistry
A calcified alloplast was evaluated as a gap-filling material around implants placed immediately into fresh extraction sockets. Periodontal measurements and computed tomography scans were obtained to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the alloplast when compared with demineralized freeze-dried bone. To determine whether this alloplast would be a suitable grafting material, 14 patients were selected to evaluate the extraction socket as a model for routine histologic confirmation of the efficacy and biocompatibility of bone substitutes. The results of this study showed the following: (1) human extraction sockets can be models for the study of bone/implant interaction; (2) the alloplast was well tolerated and demonstrated no inflammation through histologic evaluation of core biopsies; (3) the alloplast was a suitable material when used as a gap-filling graft in sockets around immediately placed implants; and (4) dental computed tomography scans and periodontal measurements around grafted implants 6 months after the procedure provide valuable clinical information about graft healing and osteointegration

An unusual case of synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint with intracranial extension, which resulted in complete dehiscence of the floor of the middle cranial fossa, is reported. An overview of the current literature and a discussion of the diagnosis and surgical management of synovial chondromatosis are presented

Using the international normalized ratio to standardize prothrombin time
Stern R; Karlis V; Kinney L; Glickman R
1997 Aug;128(8):1121-1122, Journal of the American Dental Association
The international normalized ratio, or INR, was introduced in 1983 by the World Health Organization, or WHO, Committee on Biological Standards to more accurately assess patients receiving anticoagulation therapy. The INR mandates the universal standardization of prothrombin time. This article describes the method used to calculate INR, as well as its clinical relevance to the practice of dentistry
