Quantum leap in the diagnosis of oral potentially malignant disorders - A review of literature.

Early diagnosis of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) can bring about considerable improvement in reducing the statistics related to morbidity and mortality associated with oral cancer. The objective of this review was to summarize advanced diagnostic aids used for OPMDs. Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials electronic databases from 1969 to 2022 focus on advanced diagnostic techniques for potentially malignant disorders.

A Novel Technique in the Management of Superolateral Dislocation of Unilateral Condyle.

Background: There are scarcely any reported cases of unilateral dislocation in the literature. Hence, its etiology, a possible mechanism of injury, clinical features, and effective management strategies are yet to be described.

Case: A 27-year-old male patient presented with the dilemma of unilateral dislocation of left TMJ.

Cervical Lymph Nodes: A Hotbed For Metastasis in Malignancy.

The aim of this study was to find semblance between cervical lymph node metastasis and various malignancies. Objective was to estimate the incidence of neck node metastasis (NNM) from malignancies arising from infraclavicular region reported at a tertiary cancer centre over 10 years. Retrospective data was obtained from Hospital Management Software system from March 2012 to March 2017.

Early Diagnosis: A Seeming Misfortune for Osteosarcoma of Mandible-Rare Case Report.

Osteosarcoma is a mesenchymal malignant tumour of long bones; it is the second most common malignancy of bone after multiple myeloma but it rarely affects jaw, accounting only for 4-8% of all osteosarcomas (Baumhoer et al. in Oral Oncol 50(2):147-153, 2014). The rare occurrence of tumour makes it challenging to diagnose either by radiographic or histopathologic examination.

Airway management techniques in head and neck cancer surgeries: a retrospective analysis.

Background: The aim of this study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of modalities of airway management and its impact on patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgeries.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of the medical record of 500 patients operated from January 2008 to December 2013 was conducted at our institute. Patients were reviewed for a mode of airway management, a total length of post-operative hospital stay (PLOS), and incidence of elderly patients in the total number of head and neck cancer surgeries posted for various diagnostic and definitive treatments.

Oral malignancy and its fickle blow off: A retrospective study.

Background: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate various patterns of failure in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma and to estimate overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in failure patterns.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective data of 500 patients operated for oral malignancy were obtained from year 2011 to 2014. Incidence of local, regional, and distant failure as well as DFS and OS was calculated.

Diplopia-an unheralded consequence of neck dissection: case report.

Introduction: Neck dissection is a part of the standard surgical procedure in the management of head and neck malignancy. Diplopia following neck dissection is a rare entity; hence, its diagnosis and management strategies needed to be discussed for prevention of its grave consequences.

Case Report: A 30-year-old male patient presented with binocular horizontal diplopia following total thyroidectomy and neck dissection.
