Prospective cohort study on short-term evaluation of septoplasty as early management of naso-septal fractures - A correlation of clinical outcomes with computational fluid dynamic parameters.

Purpose: Post-traumatic deviated nasal septum (PTDNS) leads to impaired breathing and poor esthetics. The aim of this study was to assess treatment outcomes of early septoplasty for correction of PTDNS and correlate it with computational fluid dynamic (CFD) parameters.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients who underwent early septoplasty for PTDNS.

Evaluating the efficacy of disc repositioning in the management of high condylar fracture - A prospective clinical trial.

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. The study group underwent 'disc repositioning during ORIF', while 'ORIF without disc repositioning' was performed for the control group.

Evaluation of the efficacy of salmon calcitonin nasal spray on bone healing following open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures - A randomized controlled trial.

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of calcitonin spray on bone healing following open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of mandibular fractures. Fourteen patients were subdivided into a study group and a control group. A standardized surgical protocol for ORIF was followed.

The Use of a Novel CAD-CAM Splint to Simplify Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Mandibular Angle Fracture: A Technical Note.

Mandibular angle fractures are frequently encountered as they constitute an area of weakness. Complications after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of angle fractures commonly arise due to improper reduction and fixation methods that fail to counteract the dynamic muscle forces present in this region. Conventional reduction methods such as digital manipulation, intermaxillary fixation, towel clip traction, and wiring are associated with various limitations.

Knotless Suture for Wound Closure in Intraoral Surgery-A Report of 2 Cases.

Suturing is the most commonly used method of wound closure in intraoral surgery, whose objectives include anatomic reapproximation of tissues, hemostasis, and prevention of wound contamination by providing an adequate tissue seal. Conventional suturing in the oral cavity is difficult because of the restricted space for instrumentation. Further, knots act as a nidus to food entrapment and microbial colonization.
