ATOM technique: Anatomic reduction using screw-wire Traction for Open reduction and internal fixation of Mandibular fractures.

Various techniques are well documented to obtain anatomic reduction, such as reduction forceps, manual reduction, or a combination of these methods. However, these techniques have inherent drawbacks. We propose a new intra-operative technique for anatomic reduction using screw-wire traction for open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures.

Compliance of postoperative instructions following the surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars.

Introduction: The way postoperative care instructions are presented by the professional (verbal and/or written) is the key element that influences quality of treatment. Hence, the aim of the present study was planned to assess the patient's compliance with postoperative care instructions given in different forms following the surgical removal of impacted lower third molars.

Materials And Methods: Forty patients scheduled to undergo surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars under local anesthetic were randomly assigned to one of two groups.

Finding a way for airway: a retrospective study.

Background: Maxillofacial trauma is complex kind of injury that requires complex treatment, hence it is difficult in selecting the type of intubation technique depending on trauma. With the advent of various technologies and devices, surgeon and anesthetist should select right method of intubation that will benefit patient.

Methods: In a retrospective study, patients of either sex, admitted in Lata Mangeshkar Hospital under Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery unit for treating maxillofacial trauma operated during year 2018 to year 2019 as elective basis were studied.
