Subcutaneous Emphysema of Periorbital and Canine Space Following Endodontic Treatment.

Emphysema of the subcutaneous tissue is an uncommon complication of dental procedures. Certain dental surgical procedures, such as extraction of teeth using air-driven handpieces and endodontic procedures are more prone to cause subcutaneous emphysema. Subcutaneous emphysema is typically self-limiting and only in a few instances has an impact on the long-term health of the patient.

Clinical Evaluation of Modified Technique of Alar Base Cinch Suture to Prevent Widening of Alar Base.

Introduction: Following Lefort I osteotomy, widening of the alar base is the most common secondary postoperative change resulting in deepening of the alar facial groove, which may be unaesthetic. Therefore, various surgical techniques to control lateralization of the alar base have been widely described in the literature. The purpose of this study was to analyze the cause and to prevent the changes in the nasolabial region, especially excessive widening of the alar base following Lefort I osteotomy by using modified alar base cinch suture.

Unicystic ameloblastoma - A case series.

Ameloblastoma is a benign, locally aggressive neoplasm that constitutes about 1-3% of the tumors of the jaw. Wide surgical excision with adequate safe margin is the most common treatment of choice. The study aimed to manage cases with unicystic ameloblastoma while preserving the continuity of the mandible (without resection).

Single Versus Two Plate Osteosynthesis for Parasymphysis Fractures of the Mandible: A Prospective Comparative Study.

Background The treatment of mandibular fractures has undergone a revolutionary change after the invention of miniplate osteosynthesis. There aren't many studies in the literature comparing the outcomes of treating mandibular parasymphysis fractures with two miniplates versus one miniplate.  Aim To evaluate the outcomes of single vs.

Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis of the Mandible.

The unusual disorder known as Langerhans cell histiocytosis, which is most frequently seen in children and young adults, is caused by the clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells. Even if clinical signs and radiographic evidence of destructive bone lesions may raise suspicion of the disease, a reliable diagnosis without a thorough pathological examination is challenging. This report describes a case of eosinophilic granuloma of the mandible in a nine-year-old child with characteristic radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features.

Evaluation of 3D Trapezoidal Plates in Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Subcondylar Fractures of Mandible: A Clinical Trial.

Background  Fractures of the mandibular condyle are common and account for 25% to 50% of all fractures of the mandible. Various methods exist for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of condylar fractures. This study was done to explore three-dimensional (3D) plates as a viable option.
