Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the role of disc repositioning in treating high condylar fractures.

Materials And Methods: Patients who reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery with high condylar fractures were recruited for this study, and randomized into two groups.

Effectiveness of knotless suture as a wound closure agent for impacted third molar - A split mouth randomized controlled clinical trial.

Aim And Objective: This study was aimed to compare the effectiveness of 3-0 knotless barbed suture (polydioxanone) with 4-0 polyglactin 910 (vicryl) in achieving wound closure after impacted mandibular third molar surgery.

Materials And Methods: Patients with bilateral mandibular third molar impaction of similar difficulty index enrolled in the split mouth study. Wound closure was done using 3-0 knotless suture (30 × 30 cm) for the study group and 4-0 polyglactin 910 (vicryl) for the control group following extraction.
