(Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2025-12-31) Tymofieiev, Oleksii; Fesenko, Ievgen; Serha, Olena; Melikova, Kateryna
The purpose of this article is to translate the updated criteria for awarding continuing professional development (CPD) points to the healthcare workers. Also, this paper compares the criteria specifically for publishing articles between the 2019 and 2025 Orders of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine (i.e., Orders No. 446 and No. 650). This translated document is an update to the 2024 publication.Points will be awarded for publications in periodicals that have been included in the scientometric databases Scopus and/or Web of Science Core Collection, or in scientific publications included in the list of scientific professional publications of Ukraine.

Bone Formation in Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma: A Case Report with a First Clinical, Radiographic, Ultrasonographic, Macroscopic, and Histopathologic Comparison
(Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2025-11-30) Demidov, Valentyn; Cherniak, Olha; Fesenko, Ievgen; Fil, Vladyslav; Zaritska, Valentyna; Chernetsova, Alla
Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is one of the benign peripheal reactive lesions of the jaws. Clinically, it is difficult to distinguish from peripheral ossifying fibroma or even metastatic tumor. We report a case of a PGCG in a 64-year-old Caucasian male. Clinically, PGCG presented as a 2.4- × 2-cm saddle-shaped pedunculated lesion of the partially edentulous alveolar ridge of the anterior mandible. The case is unique in that areas of bone formation were noted within the PGCG upon comparison of gray-scale ultrasonography (USG), macroscopic, and histopathological examination. To our knowledge it’s a first ever reported comparison in the medical literature. Indirect ultrasound imaging technique is considered in this article. Prominent intralesional vascularity upon color Doppler USG was proved upon intraoperative step when significant bleeding was noted from soft and bone tissues. Understanding by clinicians of ultrasound patterns in similar cases will facilitate differential diagnosis between alveolar ridge lesions. This paper proves ones again that ultrasound is an essential tool for the oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

Can Articles from the Images Section Be Cited in Journals Indexed in Scopus? Launch of a New Images Section Focused on Digitalization
(Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2025-09-30) Tymofieiev, Oleksii; Fesenko, Ievgen; Fil, Vladyslav
In this editorial, we analyze articles of the “Images” type in other peer-reviewed journals as well as the 6-year experience of publishing such articles in the Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (JDTOMP). We also describe the experience of citing articles from the JDTOMP and The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in the Scopus database. This is important for every peer-reviewed publication because one of the notes and conditions for indexing a journal in Scopus is citations of its articles in good journals indexed in Scopus. Taking into account the experience of journal in publishing 19 articles of the Images type, it was decided to expand the direction of publishing short manuscripts, but with a slightly different focus. A new section called “Images: Digital” has been launched, which aims to publish the same ultra-short articles, but not dedicated to pathology, but specifically dedicated to digital solutions in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Severe Carbuncle of the Upper Lip and “the Danger Triangle”: A Case Report
(Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2025-08-31) Pavlenko, Ruslan; Fesenko, Ievgen
Some sources describe boil (also known as furuncle) as a painful, bacterial infection of a hair follicle and carbuncle as cluster of furuncles that occur when the infection spreads [1]. According to other sources, a carbuncle is a purulent-necrotic inflammation of several adjacent hair follicles and sebaceous glands, which spreads to the surrounding skin and subcutaneous tissue [2, 3]. The frequency ratio of carbuncles to furuncles is 1:6 [3]. In addition to local complications of furuncles and carbuncles of the facial and temporal area, general complications such as cavernous sinus thrombosis, meningitis, and sepsis (various forms) are also possible [2, 4-8]. For example, Rueff-Barroso et al. (2023) demonstrate in their report how infection from the area of ​​“the danger triangle” can lead to such a formidable general complication as cavernous sinus thrombosis [9]. The purpose of this article is to highlight an extremely severe carbuncle that had about 15 pustular openings and was located in the area of ​​“the danger triangle.”
