Etiology and Pathophysiological Pathways of Ocular Complications Associated with Local Dental Anesthesia and Odontogenic Infections: A Systematic Review.

Background: Ocular complications during or after dental extraction have been reported in the literature. These complications were either due to infiltration of local anesthetic solution or due to spread of odontogenic infection extending to the ocular region. The purpose of the present study is to outline the pathophysiological pathway of such ocular complications pertaining to dental procedures due to infiltration/local anesthesia block or spread of odontogenic infection.

Postoperative microstructural re-modelling and functional outcomes in idiopathic full thickness macular hole.

Purpose: To analyze the effect of various macular hole indices and postoperative microstructural changes of all retinal layers on postoperative functional outcomes in patients with idiopathic full-thickness macular hole (FTMH).

Methods: In this prospective study, pre and post-operative optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans of 36 eyes with idiopathic FTMH were analyzed. Hole indices and microstructural changes of all retinal layers such as ellipsoid zone (EZ), external limiting membrane (ELM) integrity, outer and inner retinal defects, and cystoid resolution were studied on follow-up visits.

Foreign Bodies in Extraction Socket: An Outcome of Negligence and Proposal of a Classification with its Medico-legal Implications.

Background: Removal of tooth is just a routine dental surgical practice, where negligence is a must avoidable contingence. Still, few complications may arise during or after the procedure. One of the rare complications is the breakage of surgical instrument or presence of any foreign body (FB) in extraction socket.

Poroelastic Modeling of a Heterogeneous Geologic Medium: A Case Study from Kanto Basin in Japan.

Vertical geological heterogeneity, such as clay content and grain size variation, may affect land subsidence caused by groundwater extraction. In order to test this hypothesis, one-dimensional pore-water mass balance and force balance equations of a water-saturated poroelastic medium were solved under different heterogeneous geological conditions. Results showed that clay content and grain size variation in sandstone could affect subsidence rates by up to an order of magnitude due to the changes in stiffness and permeability of the medium, indicating the importance of small-scale heterogeneity in subsidence simulation studies.

Efficacy of Infiltration Anaesthesia of 4% Articaine HCl (buccal) Versus 2% Lignocaine HCl (buccolingual) in Extraction of Mandibular Premolars: A Single Centred, Randomised, Crossover Group Study.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of buccal and lingual infiltration (B/L I) of 2% lignocaine HCl and buccal infiltration (BI) of 4% articaine for orthodontic extraction of mandibular premolars.

Materials And Method: One hundred and four patients (age group 14-26 years) were selected with the indication of bilateral mandibular first or second premolar extraction for orthodontic treatment. Patients were randomly distributed in 2 groups.

Is amalgamated ligno-bupivacaine an answer to complicated minor oral surgical anesthesia? A randomized split-mouth double-blind clinical trial.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to find a suitable anesthetic combination for complicated and protracted minor oral surgical procedures.

Methods: Fifty patients with bilaterally impacted deep-seated mandibular third molars were included in this study and randomly divided on the basis of anesthetic used into two groups. Group A received 2% lignocaine with 1:200,000 adrenaline while in group B, amalgamated mixture of 2% lignocaine and 0.

Utility of superiorly based platysma myocutaneous flap for reconstruction of intraoral surgical defects: our experience.

Purpose: Various surgical modalities have been advocated for the soft tissue reconstruction of oral cavity with variable results. This prospective study evaluates the utility of platysma myocutaneous flap (PMF) in the reconstruction of surgical defects followed by treatment of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in terms of healing and functional outcomes.

Methods: In this prospective study, 47 patients with OSMF and 15 of OSCC were evaluated and selected for PMF reconstruction.

A Rare Case of Topiramate Induced Secondary Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma.

Secondary Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma (AACG) is a known side effect of Topiramate (TPM). Here, we present a case report of a 47-year-old male who was started on TPM 25 mg/day for migraine. He presented to the ophthalmology department of our hospital with sudden blurring of vision and colored halos after one day of starting TPM.

Identifying the risk factors causing iatrogenic mandibular fractures associated with exodontia: a systemic meta-analysis of 200 cases from 1953 to 2015.

Purpose: Iatrogenic fracture of mandible (IFM) associated with exodontia though rare, they do occur with an incidence ranging from 0.0034 to 0.0075 %.

Generalized estimating equation approach for analyzing the effects of metal-derived products on survival and hatching of zebrafish embryos.

Zebrafish embryos are widely used as a model to monitor the effect of chemicals on their survival and hatching at different time epochs. This experimental design generates longitudinal data in which the observations for a given subject are correlated and they are statistically independent across the subjects. This particular nature of the observations suggests the use of generalized estimating equation (GEE) methodology for performing meaningful statistical analysis.

A comparative study: efficacy of tissue glue and sutures after impacted mandibular third molar removal.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of cyanoacrylate (tissue glue) placement after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars.

Materials And Methods: Thirty patients with bilaterally impacted mandibular third molars were studied in this controlled clinical trial. One side closure after surgical removal of third molar was done with conventional sutures and other side with cyanoacrylate.

Fractures of angle of mandible - A retrospective study.

Aims: This retrospective study was done to evaluate the efficacy of single miniplate osteosynthesis at superior border of angle of mandible.

Material And Methods: In this study 50 patients were treated by single miniplate osteosynthesis according to Champy's principle. Bite force generated was used as a parameter for judging the efficacy of internal fixation.

Retrospective analysis of sutureless skin closure in cleft lip repair.

The technique of approximating tissues resulting in minimal amount of scar usually requires skillful suturing techniques by the surgeons, especially in cleft lip repair. Increased awareness and demand for aesthetic surgical correction with quality in tissue closure has led to the invention of new materials and techniques. Amcrylate (iso amyl 2-cyanoacrylate) is retrospectively evaluated as tissue glue in cleft lip repair, and the results are compared with skin closure by 6-0 Prolene.
