Temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are negatively affected by trauma and disuse. In this prospective study, 103 patients with mandibular fractures were evaluated for the influence of trauma and maxillomandibular fixation on the TMJ. A total of 54 patients were treated by maxillomandibular fixation and 49 by titanium miniplate fixation. Those patients with condylar fractures and multiple mandibular fractures and malocclusion at presentation were not included in the study. The control group consisted of 44 randomly-selected healthy people with no past history of mandibular fracture or symptoms referable to the TMJ. Trauma was a major factor leading to TMJ dysfunction and maxillomandibular fixation increased the incidence and severity of TMJ dysfunction.

Background: Traumatic intracranial aneurysms (TICAs) can be fatal if ruptured. We report a case of a TICA, distant from facial bone fractures, successfully treated with flow diverter (FD) before rupture.
Case Presentation: A 20-year-old woman was admitted following a car accident.

Background: The presence of mandibular third molars has been associated with the risk of mandibular fractures, highlighting the need for comprehensive studies considering the interaction with other mandibular structures. This study investigates how mandibular third molars and neighboring tissues can influence the structural fragility of the mandible using finite element analysis.
Material And Methods: A finite element analysis study following the guidelines proposed by RIFEM 1.

Background: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique joint that enables mandibular movement. Temporomandibular diseases (TMDs) impair joint function, leading to more or less specific clinical signs.
Objectives: To compile and disseminate clinical data and research findings from existing publications on equine TMD.

The human tooth's morphology, which includes variations in cusp numbers and patterns, is of tremendous interest to anthropologists, morphologists, and dentists. Cusp 6 is an additional cusp that is very seldom encountered in primary or permanent mandibular molars, especially first molars. A supernumerary cusp located lingual to the distobuccal cusp at the crown's distal border is cusp 6.
