Efficacy of low-level laser therapy and microsurgery on neurosensory recovery following inferior alveolar and lingual nerve injuries: A systematic review.

Purpose: This systematic review evaluates the relative effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and microsurgery for neurosensory recovery following sustained iatrogenic injuries to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and lingual nerve (LN) more than 6 months in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery procedures.

Methods: Six articles were included. The mean age of microsurgery studies was 41.

The inferior alveolar nerve at the proximal fragment during bilateral sagittal split osteotomy - Is there need to reposition to distal fragment?

Unlabelled: Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury is most common in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) cases. The present standard is to always reposition the IAN from the proximal fragment to the distal fragment during surgery. This study aims to assess the severity and incidence of postoperative injury and the recovery of the inferior alveolar nerve in proximal fragment entrapment.

Periotome versus piezotome as an aid for atraumatic extraction: a randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial was designed to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of the periotome and piezotome as aids for atraumatic extraction and its sequalae.

Materials And Methods: The study sample comprised 48 teeth, equally allotted to the piezotome or periotome groups by random allocation, in participants aged 19-62 years. All samples in both groups had either complete tooth structure or intact roots without crowns and had mobility ≤grade II.

Evaluating CagA and VacA Oncoproteins of in Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders.

Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders such as leukoplakia, lichenplanus, Oral Submucous Fibrosis are most commonly encountered precancerous lesions in India. Although, usage of smoking tobacco has been decreased yet incidence of oral cancer seems to be in increasing trend. Apart from tobacco many non-tobacco causes are associated with the disease.

A retrospective analysis of 5-year post surgery recurrence of N0 neck and the role of methylene blue in sentinel lymph node biopsy.

Unlabelled: of this study is to perform a retrospective analysis of the feasibility of the clinical application of SLNB using methylene blue dye (MBD) for the identification of SLN followed by frozen section biopsy to detect occult metastasis in clinically N0 necks. Hence, to know the reliability of MBD in reducing the need for extensive surgery.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinic pathological data of 48 patients with early oral cancer.
