After the onset of local anesthesia, the first group (Group A) received a submucosal injection of 4 mg dexamethasone adjacent to the surgical site, and the control group (Group B) received no drug. Pain, swelling, and trismus were recorded at follow-up visits on the 1st, 2nd, and 7th postoperative days. Assessment of postoperative discomfort was performed by evaluating responses through a modified postoperative symptom severity scale questionnaire, which was administered to the patients on the 7th postoperative day.Results: The difference in subjective pain values and the mean number of analgesics consumed was not significant between the groups. The difference in postoperative swelling was statistically significant on the 1st, 2nd (P < 0.0001), and 7th postoperative days (P = 0.0152).

This study aimed to determine the characteristics and pattern of traumatic maxillofacial injuries in children and adolescents reported to outpatient departments of two tertiary care health centers.Materials and methods: Present study had a retrospective design, and the hospital records of all children and adolescent patients aged between 0 and 18 years, who had undergone maxillofacial fractures and were admitted for the same to two tertiary care health centers between January 2012 and May 2022 were reviewed.Results: 77 patients suffered maxillofacial trauma with 115 fractures. The leading cause of maxillofacial trauma in the study was found to be road traffic accidents (RTA) followed by falls and sports-related injuries. Maxillofacial trauma was observed more in boys than girls, with an M: F ratio of 3.8:1. Out of 77 patients in the present study, more than half (51.9%) suffered maxillofacial trauma involving the lower one-third of the face, followed by the middle third (45.5%) and upper third (2.6%). A total of 11 patients (14.2%) were treated within 24 hr of sustaining injury. The majority of the patients, (n = 68; 88.3%) underwent open reduction and rigid internal fixation (ORIF), while 9 patients (11.7%) underwent closed reduction.Conclusions: Pediatric maxillofacial trauma was mainly attributed to road traffic accidents.

In the skull, the supraorbital region is considered a highly sexually dimorphic part. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the sexual dimorphism of Brazilian adult dry skulls using conventional and geometric morphometry.Materials and methods: Conventional morphometry was performed on 179 skulls, through the analysis of six linear measurements. For geometric morphometry, 89 skulls (right side) were selected and seven landmarks were considered. Generalized procrustes analysis, principal component analysis, and linear discriminant analysis were then carried out.Results: All linear measurements presented differences between both sexes. Geometric morphometry showed that 77.05% of the sample variation could be explained by the first three principal components. Moreover, considering the centroid size, there was a difference in shape between the sexes. Geometric morphometry classified sex correctly in 77.32% of the skulls and conventional morphometry from 60.89% to 73.74%.Conclusions: According to the analyses, the supraorbital region presents significant sexual dimorphism in Brazilian adult dry skulls. Moreover, it can be analyzed efficiently by both conventional and geometric morphometry, although the latter seems to be slightly more accurate.","PeriodicalId":101444,"journal":{"name":"National journal of maxillofacial surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11371281/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142135067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 1-mm fissure bur was used to drill a hole perpendicular to bone from the deepest aspect of the concavity at the center of the mandibular foramen from the medial to lateral side, the drill perforated both the medial and lateral cortex of the mandible. The distance from the antilingula to hole was measured and recorded in both antero-posterior and supero-inferior planes. The data were collected and put to statistical analysis.Results: From this study, it was concluded that the antilingula was present in 90% (n = 45) of mandibles and was absent in 10% (n = 5) of mandibles. Antero-posteriorly, the antilingula was present anterior to mandibular foramen in 22.2% (n = 10) of mandibles, posteriorly in 57.7% (n = 26) of mandibles, and there was complete concordance in 20% (n = 9) of mandibles. The supero-inferior relation shows that antilingula was present superior to mandibular foramen in 97.8% (n = 44) of mandibles, and it was present inferiorly in 2.20 (n = 1) of mandibles.Conclusion: Although vertical ramus osteotomy is not a commonly used procedure in these days. From our study, it was concluded that antilingula was present as an elevation in 90% of cases on the lateral ramus border and the mandibular foramen is present inferior and anterior to the antilingula.","PeriodicalId":101444,"journal":{"name":"National journal of maxillofacial surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11371280/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142134988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early results were variable, because of its conflicting crystalline structure, purity, and quality of the calcium sulphate. Apart from this, calcium sulphate also shows predictable resorption rate in vivo, presence of minimal trace elements and extremely uniform crystalline structure.

Traditionally two stage (submerged) or one-stage (non-submerged) system has been added by many investigators. In the present study we evaluated the crestal bone loss during osseointegration phase among the three groups (i.e. submerged implants, non-submerged implants with anatomical healing abutment and non- submerged implants with esthetic healing abutment).Material and methods: 10 subjects with 30 implants, were enrolled in the study. Subjects were randomized in three groups i.e., group 1 submerged (n=10), group 2 non-submerged with anatomical healing abutment (n=10), group 3 non submerged with esthetic healing abutments (n=10). Intraoral periapical radiograph (IOPA), IMAGE J software and CBCT were used to evaluate the crestal bone loss around each implant at baseline, 1 and 3 months after implant placement.Results: Crestal bone loss at the end of the 3months (osseointegration phase) was lowest in the submerged group (0.18+-0.06mm) followed by non-submerged esthetic group (0.21+-0.03mm) but it was statistically insignificant. Maximum amount of bone loss was observed in non-submerged anatomical abutment group (0.34+-0.03mm) which was highly significant.Conclusion: It can be concluded that submerged implants technique is a better option in comparison to non-submerged implant technique in terms of radiographical performance during initial phases of osseointegration.","PeriodicalId":101444,"journal":{"name":"National journal of maxillofacial surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11371283/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142135056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
