Ultrasound-guided seldinger technique-assisted submental intubation for panfacial trauma-walking off the beaten path.

Introduction: After introduction of ultrasound, there is paradigm shift towards under vision performance of procedures in anaesthesia. Blind puncture and dissection of submental space may lead to vascular injury and injury to salivary glands. We describe the ultrasound guided Seldinger technique assisted submental intubation for panfacial trauma.

Impact of Oral Submucous Fibrosis on Quality of Life: A Multifactorial Assessment.

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) has been extensively researched for its etiopathogenesis, malignant potential, and various available treatment modalities, but its effect on different domains of patient's life has not been thoroughly investigated. The present study aimed to clearly construe the effects of OSMF like severity and demographic variables on different domains of quality of life in OSMF patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Dentistry, AIIMS Jodhpur, India.

Reconstruction of Acquired Frontal Bone Defects Using Titanium Mesh Implants: A Retrospective Study.

Purpose: Frontal bone deformities can be acquired due to trauma or ablative tumor resection surgeries and osteomyelitis. It may also occur due to congenital malformations. Repair of these defects have long been a challenge to oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
