Intraosseous solitary myofibroma of the orbit in an adolescent woman.

A 16-year-old woman presented with a painless, progressive, hard swelling in the left inferolateral orbital wall for the past 1 year. There was no diminution of vision or limitation of ocular motility. Imaging revealed an intraosseous, well-defined, expansile, soft tissue lesion in the inferolateral wall of the left orbit.

Comparative evaluation of dacryocystorhinostomy with retrograde intubation and conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy.

Objective: To compare the surgical outcomes of dacryocystorhinostomy with retrograde intubation and conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy for the management of proximal mid-bicanalicular lacrimal obstruction.

Design: Randomized, controlled trial.

Methods: The study was conducted in 50 eyes of 50 adult patients with bicanalicular obstruction ≤ 6 mm from the punctum.

Massive Retinal Gliosis in Microphthalmic Globe With Cyst Masquerading as a Neoplasm.

We report a rare case of a bilaterally blind, 33-year-old male, who presented with rapidly progressive, painless swelling in the right orbit for two months, in the absence of ocular trauma. Suspecting an intraocular neoplasm, a contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) orbit was performed, which was suggestive of a right-sided superomedial eccentric soft-tissue lesion with bilateral rudimentary globes associated with cyst, hypoplastic optic nerves, and focal areas of calcification. Diffusion-weighted MRI demonstrated diffusion restriction and yielded an indeterminate value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC).

Clinical Presentation and Management Strategies in Intraorbital Foreign Bodies.

The authors present a retrospective, observational case study of seven patients, who presented with retained Intra-Orbital Foreign Bodies (IOrbFBs) following penetrating orbital injury at a tertiary eye hospital over a period of one year. Cases were reviewed for epidemiological features, mechanism of injury, nature of foreign body, clinical features, imaging modality, associated complications, management outcomes, and the final prognosis. The mean age of presentation was 27.

Assessment of Reliability of Cone-beam Computed Tomography in Skeletal and Dental Discrepancy.

Aim: The present study was conducted to evaluate the reliability of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dental asymmetry with skeletal midline deviation.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on 124 patients (males 52, females 72) who underwent orthodontic treatment. The CBCT scan was obtained with the Planmica machine.

A Rare Presentation of Orbital Castleman's Disease.

Castleman's disease (CD) is an uncommon group of atypical lymphoproliferative disorders. Extranodal involvement such as the orbit is extremely rare. We aim to report a case of a 62-year-old male who presented with left painless proptosis for the past three years.

Role of Text Message Reminder on Oral Hygiene Maintenance of Orthodontic Patients.

Introduction: Fixed orthodontic treatment is frequently associated with increased plaque accumulation leading to gingivitis and white spot lesions (WSLs).

Aim: This study evaluated the role of text message reminder on oral hygiene of orthodontic patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 patients under fixed orthodontic treatment were randomly divided into two equal groups as control group and study (text message) group.

Comparative Evaluation of Dimensional Accuracy of Elastomeric Impression Materials when Treated with Autoclave, Microwave, and Chemical Disinfection.

Background: Impression materials during impression procedure often get infected with various infectious diseases. Hence, disinfection of impression materials with various disinfectants is advised to protect the dental team. Disinfection can alter the dimensional accuracy of impression materials.

A Comparison of Parental Satisfaction in the Quality of their Child's Orthodontic Treatment by Orthodontists and Pedodontists.

Background: The aim was to evaluate satisfaction of the parents of children who have undergone orthodontic treatment provided by their orthodontists and pediatric dentists in their private practice.

Materials And Methods: A total of 412 parents were interviewed with the help of a questionnaire containing information such as demographic part, experience of braces, motives for orthodontic treatment, complications faced during the procedure and reasoning for satisfaction. Student's t-test was applied to analyze the results.

Soft tissue cephalometric norms for central India (malwa) female population.

Background: The various soft tissue traits that contribute to an aesthetically pleasing face. This should be considered during orthodontic treatment. The aim of the present study was to propose soft tissue norms for Central Indian (Malwa) female population.
