Does the Lag Time Between Injury and Treatment Play a Role in Recovery of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Neurosensory Disturbances Following Mandibular Body Fracture?

Background: The lag time between injury and treatment (LTIT) plays an important role in reduction of complications in mandibular fractures. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of LTIT on recovery of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) neurosensory disturbances (NSDs) following surgical management of mandibular body fractures.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study.

Does oral clonidine premedication decrease bleeding during open rhinoplasty?

This uni-blind randomized clinical trial study investigated the effect of clonidine premedication on preoperative blood loss during open rhinoplasty. The subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups. The members of the first group received oral clonidine as a single dose (0.

Do angulated implants increase the amount of bone loss around implants in the anterior maxilla?

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between angulated implants and the bone loss around implants in the anterior maxilla.

Materials And Methods: The subjects studied had a missing tooth in the anterior maxilla and a bone deficiency that required restoration with an angulated dental implant. After mounting the casts on the articulator, the amount of direction was measured with a facebow by calculating the difference between the mean buccopalatal angulation of the 2 adjacent natural teeth and the buccopalatal angulation of the implant abutment to the occlusal plane.
