A simple method to control bleeding by stationary paper clips as an alternate to raney clips during coronal incisions.

The value of coronal incisions in maxillofacial surgery has been well documented. The incision provides excellent access to the upper facial skeleton aiding in adequate access, good anatomic reduction of fractures and hidden scar. The associated bleeding with raising a bicoronal flap is a matter of concern to beginner surgeons.

Accidental injection of sodium hypochlorite instead of local anesthetic in a patient scheduled for endodontic procedure.

We present here a case of tissue destruction and paresthesia following the accidental injection of sodium hypochlorite instead of local anesthetic in a patient scheduled for endodontic procedure. The accident was managed by the local injection of steroid, debridement of necrotic tissue, daily dressings and medications. Wound healing was satisfactory at the end of 1 month.

Transmylohyoid/Submental intubation: review, analysis, and refinements.

Successful outcome in any surgery is dependent on unobstructed access. Management of patients with polytrauma of the face or those undergoing multiple/complex facial osteotomies has always been a challenge, not only to maxillofacial surgeons but also to the anesthetists, as both specialists fight for the same anatomic territory. Hernandez in 1986 published the first article on the submental route for endotracheal intubation.
