Assessment of the Impact of Different Surgical Techniques on Nerve Function and Sensation after Maxillofacial Surgery.

Background: One potential long-term side effect of surgery in the oral and maxillofacial region is neurosensory impairment. Due to their physical proximity to the surgical location, the lingual nerve (LN) and inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), two sensory segments of the trigeminal nerve, are always susceptible to damage during third molar extraction.

Aim: Assessment of the impact of different surgical techniques on nerve function and sensation after maxillofacial surgery.

Primary leiomyosarcoma of the maxilla: An investigative loom-report of a challenging case and review of literature.

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant neoplasm composed of cells showing distinct smooth muscle features. Majority of the tumors are located in the retroperitoneum, including the pelvis and the uterus but are rare in the oral and pharyngeal region. Intraorally, they are present as painless, lobulated, fixed masses of the submucosal tissues in middle-aged or older individuals.
