Horizontally Impacted Permanent Maxillary First Molars: A Rare Riddle.

Complete failure of eruption leads to impaction. Impacted teeth are more common in maxilla as compare to mandible. The impaction of permanent dentition is not uncommon but out of them, few permanent teeth are rarely impacted such as maxillary first molars.

Evaluating the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma on orthodontic tooth movement rate: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on acceleration of the orthodontic tooth movement and assess the evidence based on the available literature.

Methods: The trial was registered and reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Google Scholar were searched for randomized controlled studies of PRP on the rate of tooth movement.

Clinical, Demographic, and Oral Presentations of COVID-19 Associated Mucormycosis from a Tertiary Care Hospital in India: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: The black fungus, mucormycosis, is on the list of lethal complications reported in recent times in COVID patients.

Methodology: This cross-sectional study included all cases of post-COVID-19 mucormycosis. Patients' demographics, clinical presentations, and general health information were collected using a pre-designed form.

Rare Presentation of Tuberculous Osteomyelitis of Mandibular Condyle Mimicking as Parotid Tumor: A Case Report.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant health problem and mortality in most developing countries. It is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by and . It can be pulmonary form or Extra pulmonary form.

Infantile fibromatosis of the mandible- Is radical treatment justified?

Infantile fibromatosis is characterized by proliferation of fibrous soft tissue with a potential of invading the adjacent structures but lacks the ability to metastasize, thus making it a fairly benign lesion with borderline characteristics. The pathology resembles sarcomatous growth, therefore making it difficult for the clinician to correctly diagnose. There are two variants of extra-abdominal desmoid juvenile and adult variant depending upon the age group it predominately involves.

Post-COVID Mucormycosis Involving Mandible: A Rare Phenomenon.

Mucormycosis is a fungal disease involving predominantly the paranasal sinuses and further spreading to the orbit and cerebral regions. It does rarely affect the pulmonary region and gastrointestinal regions. This disease is seen more in a very serious state, where the tissues undergo necrosis and cause huge morbidity and, in some cases, end up being fatal.

A Rare Case of Ewing's Sarcoma of Maxilla Managed with a Newly Proposed Multimodality Approach to Achieve Optimal Outcome.

Rare case of Ewing's Sarcoma of maxilla managed with newly proposed multimodalityapproach in which First neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was done to shrink the size oftumor mass and control possible occult distant metastasis and in the second phase surgical management that is followed by adjuvant chemotherapy was done. During Surgical phase, instead of doing a complete surgical resection, we have decided intraoperatively and performed only curettage of the tumor mass left after shrinkage of the tumor mass post chemotherapy phase. This concludes that there is the scope of trying newer ideas for management and, thus, more contemporary approaches for this rare entity.

Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia, An Usually Overlooked Diagnosis: A Prospective Single Center Observation Study.

Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia is often difficult to diagnose in view of its symptoms that overlap with many other regional causes. This subset of patients commonly visits otolaryngologists, dentists, oncologists only to be referred to the other and finally to the psychiatrist when the diagnosis is overlooked. We hereby present a prospective observation study of 26 cases of Glossopharyngeal neuralgia.

Management of a Late Presentation of Bear Mauling with a Complex Maxillofacial Defect in a Tertiary Care Hospital - A Case Report.

Rationale: Bear mauling is the most common wild animal-inflicted injury in India. Ideally, these injuries should be managed early with fracture fixation, wound debridement, and appropriate coverage. Delay may lead to devascularization and a more severe deformity, which needs complex and multi-staged procedures for optimal outcome.

Use of Two Lag Screws for ORIF of Mandibular Condylar Sagittal Split fracture: An Anti-rotational Concept-A Prospective Clinical Trial.

Background: Condylar process fracture is one of the most common mandibular fractures. Approximately 11-16% of all facial fractures and 30-40% of all mandibular fractures are fractures of the mandibular condyle. Treatment can broadly be divided into open or closed, but there are no clear criteria to determine the choice between them.

Hemangiopericytoma/Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Buccal Mucosa.

Hemangiopericytomas (HPCs)/Solitary fibrous tumor are rare neoplasms of vascular origin that occur in head-and-neck region. These tumors arise from capillary pericytes and are difficult to distinguish from other tumors of vascular origin. HPC, initially described by Stout and Murray in 1942, usually occur in the fifth decade of life and account for 3%-5% of all soft-tissue sarcomas and 1% of all vascular tumors.

Bilateral deep neck space infection in pediatric patients: review of literature and report of a case.

The diagnosis and treatment of deep neck infections is still an enigma for surgeons and physicians. Because of the complexity and the deep location of this region, the diagnosis and treatment in this area is difficult. The anatomy of deep neck spaces is highly complex and therefore precise localization of infections in this region is very difficult.
