Ramal Growth Assessment in Temporo-Mandibular Joint Ankylosis in Growing Patient Without Growth Centre Transplantation: Radiograph Based Study.

Introduction: The treatment of temporomandibular joint is mainly surgical and aims at restoring the function of joint and correcting the aesthetics deformity caused by ankylosis. Studies are available in the literature which showed that there is osteogenic potential in condylar stump remaining after gap arthroplasty, especially in children. Our objective was to assess the growth of ramus operated after surgery using orthopantomogram as the tool of assessment.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of Perpendicular Plating Versus Conventional Plating in Mandibular Symphysis Fracture.

Aim And Objective: To perform the comparative finite element analysis of conventional and perpendicular plating in mandibular symphyseal fracture.

Material And Method: Two FE model of mandible were developed and symphyseal fracture was created in both of them. Each fractured model was fixed by conventional method 2.
