Odontogenic Keratocyst: Developing a Protocol for Surgical Intervention.

The aim of this study was to report the outcome of a conservative treatment protocol - "enucleation and packing open" for odontogenic keratocyst (OKC). Ten patients with OKC were treated at our institute by peripheral ostectomy, enucleation followed by open packing. This conservative treatment protocol was selected because of relatively young age of the patients and relatively large size of the lesions.

Complications in the use of bilateral inferiorly based nasolabial flaps for advanced oral submucous fibrosis.

Surgical management of advanced oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) using bilateral inferiorly based nasolabial flaps is becoming increasingly popular. However no comprehensive analysis of delayed complications using this technique is available in the literature. The authors have conducted a retrospective study to examine the delayed complications of bilateral inferiorly based nasolabial flaps used in advanced oral submucous fibrosis at their institute along with a detailed review of literature on the subject.
