Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide detailed information about the eyebrow approach for the reduction of the frontal bone and its esthetic results with the help of clinical data available. Thus, suggesting this technique is minimally invasive and highly esthetic for frontal bone management.
Method: In this series, 96 cases were studied, and results were based on variable clinical criteria and satisfaction of patients.
Purpose: Resections in the posterior component of the oral cavity usually lead to severe functional compromise and lower quality of life for patients. Notable advances in reconstruction of the posterior part of the mouth and of the oropharynx have occurred in recent decades. The anatomic and physiologic rehabilitation of the defect to a reasonable outcome with low morbidity and mortality remains the founding basis of any surgical reconstruction, which also holds true for oral oropharyngeal and retromaxillary reconstructions.

It is a blowout type fracture where bone fragments with torn periosteum are pushed outside of the original bony orbit. There is no intact bone even near the defect area except the thin bone rim surrounding the blowout fracture.

Ten patients were treated by release of fibrous bands, bilateral coronoidectomy, and reconstruction with an extended nasolabial flap (nasolabial group), and the other 10 by bilateral release of fibrous bands, coronoidectomy, and reconstruction with a platysma myocutaneous muscle flap (platysma group). In the nasolabial group the mean preoperative interincisal mouth opening was 12(range 3-14)mm, and in the platysma group it was 11 (3-13).

We present cases with foreign bodies in maxillary sinus and nasal septum which was due to peculiar habit of the patient of inserting sticks in between teeth. There was oroantrualfistula and nasal abcess observed. The ectopic foreign bodies were removed surgically.
