Surgical Correction of TMJ Bilateral Dislocation with Eminectomy and Capsulorrhaphy as an Adjuvant: Case Reports.

Introduction: Anterior excessive movement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a condition which reduces the quality of life of a person to great extent with the patient always living in the fear of inherent dislocation. Dislocation of the temporomandibular joint represents 3% of all reported joint dislocations.

Case Report: In this article, we discuss about two cases where the patients with chronic TMJ dislocation were treated with eminectomy and capsulorrhaphy.

Comparison of the efficacy of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid with metronidazole to azithromycin with metronidazole after surgical removal of impacted lower third molar to prevent infection.

Objectives: The goal of the study was to investigate the clinical effects of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (500+125 mg) with metronidazole 400 mg administered three times daily (Group I) versus azithromycin 500 mg administered once daily and with metronidazole 400 mg three times daily (Group II) for the prevention of postoperative infection following mandibular third molar surgical removal.

Materials And Methods: The study design was a single-center prospective study. Patients who reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery between February 2015 and January 2017 for removal of mandibular third molar were screened, and 108 patients were chosen.

Bowel Migration of Dormant Chronic Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter: A Vexed Problem Not Avoided by Flushing.

Delayed bowel erosion by peritoneal dialysis catheter is rare with fewer than thirty cases having been reported in the literature. This complication is usually encountered when the catheter is kept dormant. Two cases have also been reported with catheters in active use.

Acanthosis nigricans: A screening test for insulin resistance - An important risk factor for diabetes mellitus type-2.

Background: Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is one of the signs suggestive of high insulin resistance (IR). IR is one of the mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus type-2 (DM Type-2). Thus, early detection of IR in children may allow us time to intervene well before the development of DM Type-2.

Postoperative alar base symmetry in complete unilateral cleft lip and palate:A prospective study.

In the evolution of cleft lip repair, there have been continuous attempts to minimize local trauma and to improve lip and nasal appearances. In order to obtain an aesthetically balanced development of midface, the primary surgical correction of the nasolabial area is of paramount importance. In this study, the importance of a back-cut extending cephalically above the inferior turbinate at the mucocutaneous junction which elevates the nostril floor on the cleft side for the purpose of achieving symmetry of the alar bases are analyzed by pre and postoperative photographic anthropometry.

Bladder explosion during transurethral resection of prostate: Bladder diverticula as an additional risk factor.

Vesical explosion during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a very rare occurrence. Very few cases have been reported in the literature. The literature was reviewed pertaining to the etiology of bladder explosion during transurethral resection.
