Trismus caused by migration of orthodontic archwire into the infratemporal fossa: a case report.

Introduction: Soft tissue injuries are known complications of orthodontic treatment. Most of the injuries are mild, but severe complications can arise from deeper penetration or dislodgement of brackets and other foreign bodies into the surrounding tissues of the oropharynx and infratemporal fossa.

Patient Concerns: The patient, accompanied by his parents, presented to the Children's Emergency Department with the concern of gradual limitation of mouth opening and eventual trismus, which occurred over a span of 2 weeks.

Cleft Nasal Stent Production Using Three-Dimensional Scanning and Printing Technology.

In most cleft centers worldwide, nasal stents are routinely used in the postoperative period to prevent collapse of the lower lateral cartilage and maintain the shape of the nostrils as well as nasal alar. Prefabricated nasal stents are expensive and do not offer options for customization. In this paper, we introduce a cost-effective technique for manufacturing nasal stents using three-dimensional scanning and printing technology.
