Can Oral TB develop in susceptible individuals after an oral surgical procedure? 3 case reports.

As opposed to the popular assumption, there have been an increase in the cases of Oral Tuberculosis as of late. Owing to increased drug resistance, there has been a change in the disease pattern leading to an upsurge in the Extra-pulmonary Oral Tuberculosis. According to the WHO, Diagnosis is the first step in the control of TB; but due to the lack of pathognomonic signs associated with Oral Tuberculosis and the rarity of these lesions, diagnosis is often difficult.

The Efficacy of Fixation of Unilateral Mandibular Angle Fracture with Single 3D Plate vs Single Miniplate Using Transbuccal Approach.

Introduction: The management of mandibular angle fractures is often challenging and results in the highest rate of complications. The optimal treatment modality still remains controversial. This study was done to compare the treatment outcomes of single 3D plate versus single miniplate.

3D Models Revolutionizing Surgical Outcomes in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Experience at Our Center.

Introduction: New technological advances have revolutionized the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The three-dimensional (3D) models are new technological breakthroughs which have equipped the oral and maxillofacial surgeon to effectively reproduce or improve preoperative form and function. They have also allowed the surgeon to achieve minimal operative and postoperative morbidity.

Ameloblastic Fibrodentinoma: A Rarity in Odontogenic Tumors.

Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma is a rare, benign, mixed odontogenic tumor composed of odontogenic epithelium, immature connective tissue and is characterized by the formation of dysplastic dentin. An incidence of 0.1% is reported for this benign odontogenic tumor which indicates the rarity of this lesion.

Effect of chlorhexidine, povidone iodine, and ozone on microorganisms in dental aerosols: randomized double-blind clinical trial.

Objective: Dental handpieces, ultrasonic scalers, air polishers, air abrasion units produce the most visible aerosols. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX), povidone iodine (PI), and ozone (OZ) on the microorganisms in dental aerosols.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 patients were included in this study, they were randomly assigned into three groups and were subjected to scaling before and after rinsing with 0.

Odontogenic maxillofacial space infections at a tertiary care center in North India: a five-year retrospective study.

Objective: Odontogenic infections contribute to a significant proportion of maxillofacial space infections (MSI) across the world. MSI can cause several life-threatening complications despite skillful management. The objective of this study was to review the clinical characteristics, management, and outcome of odontogenic MSI treated at a tertiary care center, and to identify the factors predisposing to life-threatening complications.

Pattern of maxillofacial fractures at a tertiary hospital in northern India: a 4-year retrospective study of 718 patients.

Purpose: Pattern and aetiology of maxillofacial injuries varies from one country to another and even within the same country depending on prevailing socio-economic, cultural and environmental factors. Various studies have been carried out in various countries to study the epidemiology and demographics of the maxillofacial injuries but the studies from India are few.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study was undertaken at Christian Medical College Ludhiana (India) from January 2006 to December 2009.
