A Prospective Randomized Study to Assess the Quality of Life in Post-Operative Recovery Phase in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Isolated Vertically Undisplaced Mandibular Parasymphysis Fracture Using Twin Mix Solution.

Purpose: Trauma is a major cause for facial fractures commonly encountered by maxillofacial surgeons. Mandible is commonly involved in facial trauma resulting in an isolated fracture or associated with other facial bones due to its prominent location in the facial skeleton. This study was undertaken to investigate the quality of life (QoL) post-operatively in patients diagnosed with undisplaced parasymphysis fracture who underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) under local anesthesia (LA) using the twin mix (TM) solution.

Comparison of latency and efficacy of twin mix and modified twin mix in impacted mandibular third molar surgery - A Preliminary Randomized Triple Blind Split Mouth Clinical Study.

Introduction: Intra-space drug administration have recently gained popularity in the clinical practice posing several advantages over the conventional routes of drug administration. A preliminary prospective randomized triple blind clinical study was conducted to compare the latency and duration of anesthesia with twin mix (1.8ml 2% lignocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine and 1ml/4mg dexamethasone) and modified twin mix (1.

Predictability and Feasibility of Total Alloplastic Temporomandibular Joint Reconstruction using DARSN TM Joint Prosthesis for patients in Indian subcontinent-A prospective clinical study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a custom made alloplastic Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) device design in patients undergoing temporomandibular (TM) Total Joint Reconstruction (TJR).

Objective: TMJ disease with functional and anatomic distortion dictates the need for TJR. There are various materials to reconstruct a TMJ.

A three dimensional (3D) musculoskeletal finite element analysis of DARSN temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prosthesis for total unilateral alloplastic joint replacement.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the strain and stress distribution for DARSN alloplastic unilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prosthesis and the effects on contralateral natural joint using a finite element analysis (FEA).

Methods: The replacement of the TMJ may have complications like infection, failure of hardware, facial paralysis and perforation. The understanding of the mechanical forces exerted by muscles of mastication and jaw movement on the joint helps in identifying the regions on alloplastic TMJ with various maximum forces, which makes that area more prone for failure of hardware.

Bhawsar-karandikar stent: an aid to vestibuloplasty.

The loss of teeth and their replacement by artificial denture is associated with many problems. Pre-prosthetic surgical procedures are performed to provide a better anatomic environment and to create proper supporting structures for construction of dentures. Whenever inadequate vestibular depth is present in edentulous mouth, deepening of vestibule is considered to increase the retention and stability of denture.
