Patient-Specific Implants (PSI) in Maxillary Hypoplasia Secondary to Cleft Lip and Palate Deformity.

Maxillary hypoplasia is often evident in cleft patients due to impaired growth and dense scarring from previous cleft surgeries. For these patients, treatment scenario has taken many turns over ages, evolved from orthognathic correction to distraction osteogenesis, with mixed prognosis and outcome depending on severity of the case and other several factors. We are reporting a case of 24-year-old female with maxillary hypoplasia secondary to bilateral cleft lip and palate with hypoplastic prolabium, who has been treated with two patient-specific implants in bilateral maxillary region for facial profile enhancement.

Management of Nasoorbitoethmoidal Fracture: An Institutional Experience.

The nasoorbitoethmoidal fractures remain the most complex of all facial fractures to diagnose and treat mainly because of the intricate anatomy and difficulty in fracture fixation. The number of such fractures are increasing with the more incidence of high-speed, high-force accidents. The nasoorbitoethmoidal fractures rarely occur as an isolated event.

Comparison between N-butyl cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive and Ethilon nylon sutures in extraoral maxillofacial incisions: A randomized prospective study.

Objectives: Wound closure is a part of any surgical procedure. Wound care and healing process are concepts, which are usually reliant upon sutures. The suture and non-suture repair of the tissues has been a major concern to surgeons for over four thousand years.

Submandibular sialolithiasis: A series of three case reports with review of literature.

One of the most common disorders of the salivary glands is sialolithiasis. A history of pain or/and swelling in the salivary glands, especially during meal suggests this diagnosis. For small and accessible stones conservative therapies like milking of ducts with palliative therapy can produce satisfactory results.
