{"title":"Comparison of posterior superior alveolar and greater palatine nerve block with local infiltration for extraction of maxillary molars in oral surgery – A randomized controlled trial","authors":"Ayesha Moin, A. Shafath, S. Kale","doi":"10.18231/j.ijmi.2023.014","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18231/j.ijmi.2023.014","url":null,"abstract":"Administration of local anesthetic drug that prevents pain during dental treatment is of absolute importance. Act of injecting local anesthetic should be nonpainful and atraumatic. The maxilla is very porous and highly vascular. Therefore, anesthesia of maxillary teeth can be accomplished more easily than with mandibular teeth. The aim of this study is to determine the anesthetic efficacy of the conventional technique of posterior superior alveolar (PSA) and greater palatine nerve(GP) block anesthesia as compared to the buccal and palatal technique in terms of pain during injection, after extraction, after 15mins of the procedure and quality of anesthesia during the extraction procedure. The study also intends to determine the incidence of positive aspiration in the infiltration technique. This randomized clinical study was carried out on 154 patients who reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Sri Rajiv Gandhi College of Dental Sciences & Hospital Bangalore, requiring extraction of maxillary second and third molar teeth. The patients received anesthesia using the conventional nerve block technique and infiltration technique randomly on each side of the mouth. Patients were assessed for pain during the injection, after extraction, and after 15mins of the procedure with each technique using Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The patients were also assessed for pain using the Verbal Response Scale (VRS). The positive aspiration was assessed for each technique. During tooth extraction, quality of anesthesia was assessed using an eight-point category rating scale. The results obtained were analyzed using Chi-square test. It was concluded that the buccal infiltration technique is less painful for the patient as compared to the posterior superior alveolar nerve block. This technique has a lower frequency of positive aspiration as compared with the PSA nerve block. However, the PSA nerve block technique provides better-quality of anesthesia. It can be concluded that the infiltration technique appears to be a successful alternative with additional advantages, as compared to the nerve block technique.","PeriodicalId":282949,"journal":{"name":"IP International Journal of Maxillofacial Imaging","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122886368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study population included 2 groups, patients and normal – 22 TMJ’s of 11 individuals respectively. MRI was performed on all patients pre-operatively and 5 month post-operatively and also on controls. Disc thickness (anterior, intermediate and posterior zone), disc length, joint space and structural changes in the glenoid fossa and condylar head were assessed in all the MRI scans. The severity of changes in relation to duration of reduced mouth opening was noted. And, finally regeneration potential of the TMJ after remobilizing the jaw, on 5th month POD was observed. All the measurements were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis. The study showed that there were significant differences in the pre-op and normal. The post treatment values/dimensions were comparatively the same as that of the normal population (except for joint space on right side and disc length on left side, which is negligible). It proves that the treatment makes the condition comparably similar to that of normal dimension over a time period of 5 months, sighting the potential capacity of the TMJ to regenerate and repair. The study revealed statistically highly significant changes in the components of Temporomandibular joint in OSMF patients with varying degrees of restriction in mouth opening when compared to controls, and return of the joint structurally towards recovery at 5 month POD stresses upon the need for an early intervention.","PeriodicalId":282949,"journal":{"name":"IP International Journal of Maxillofacial Imaging","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122131630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models have shown to be a breakthrough in terms of delivering trustworthy information for decision making, and their main benefit is that they offer logic for clinical decision making. Consequently, AI may play a big part in forensic dentistry (FO). In order to serve the welfares of justice, FO entails the examination, assessment, administration, and presentation of dental evidence in criminal or civil cases. It is an essential component of forensic science that is key to the identification of people, whether they are living or dead. In terms of gathering, evaluating, and reporting evidence, digital forensics has successfully and consistently supplanted traditional forensic investigations.

To study role of multidetector tomography in evaluation of maxillofacial injuries. To describe the advantages of 3D reconstructed images over axial images in the imaging of facial fractures. This cross-sectional study included 100 patients who underwent CT evaluation of facial bones when they presented with evidence of fracture of maxillofacial bones on a 64-slice volume scanner (SIEMENS SOMATOM definition) in Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital, Udaipur during February 2019 to July 2020.

The maxilla, the walls of its sinus were the most commonly involved bone with 71.42% next was Naso-orbito-ethmoid 68.57%. Zygomatic bone and mandible fractures were 50 and 38.09%.
