Giant Osteoma of Zygoma Mimicking Pseudo-Temporo-Mandibular Joint Ankylosis: A Case Report.

Giant osteoma is a rare entity in the head and neck region when compared to long bones. Even in the head and neck region, the paranasal sinuses are commonly associated, but the involvement of jaw bones is very rare. The lesions are usually asymptomatic and so remain undiagnosed for years.

Primary Tubercular Osteomyelitis Affecting the Mandibular Condyle - A Case Report.

Rationale: Primary orofacial tuberculosis (TB) accounts for <3% of all cases of TB. TB of the mandibular condyle is often misdiagnosed owing to its rarity.

Patient Concerns: This report presents a 19-year-old female who presented with a painful swelling over the right preauricular region.

Comparative assessment of corticotomy facilitated rapid canine retraction using piezo versus bur: A randomized clinical study.

Purpose: The leading concern of orthodontic patients is prolonged treatment with fixed appliances and demand speedy treatment from the orthodontists. Piezocision is a relatively innovative, safe and reliable technique of corticotomy in the domain of surgically-accelerated orthodontic treatment. Our aim was to compare the efficiency of piezo corticotomy (piezocision) and conventional bur in rapid orthodontic tooth movement (OTM).

Does diagnostic accuracy of surgeon's perception outweigh frozen section analysis in determining intraoperative clear mucosal surgical margins in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients?

Introduction: The lucrativeness of the frozen section for intraoperative margin assessment in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is debatable till date. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether surgeon's perception by gross examination (GE) of margin is an alternative to frozen section.

Aim: The aim was to compare the diagnostic accuracy (DA) of surgeon's perception of tumor-free mucosal and soft-tissue surgical margins intraoperatively assessed by GE and frozen section analysis (FSA).

The regenerative potential of skin and the immune system.

Skin has the natural ability to heal and replace dead cells regulated by a network of complex immune processes. This ability is conferred by the population of resident immune cells that act in coordination with other players to provide a homeostatic environment under constant challenge. Other than providing structure and integrity, the epidermis and dermis also house distinct immune properties.

"Piezosurgery vs bur in impacted mandibular third molar surgery: Evaluation of postoperative sequelae".

Purpose: Piezosurgery is a relatively novel, precise and safe technique of ostectomy in the domain of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Our aim was to compare the inflammatory outcomes of osteotomy using piezosurgery and conventional bur in impacted mandibular third molar (IM3M) surgery.

Subjects And Method: The study implemented a randomized, double-blind, crossover design.

Is 0.75% ropivacaine more efficacious than 2% lignocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine for IANB in surgical extraction of impacted lower third molar?

Purpose: We aim to compare and evaluate the anesthetic efficacy and safety of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) using 0.75% ropivacaine and 2% lignocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine in lower impacted third molar (LI3M) surgery.

Patients And Method: We designed a prospective randomized, double-blind, split-mouth study evaluating 60 systemically healthy patients with the presence of bilateral symmetrically oriented LI3M.

Mandibular Ramus Fracture: An Overview of Rare Anatomical Subsite.

Aim. The present study aims at exemplifying the incidence, and aetiology and analyses the outcomes of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) over closed treatment of mandibular ramus fractures. Patients and Method.
