The different techniques of fixation of immediate surgical obturators are compared and evaluated for duration of fabrication, intraoperative fixation, stability, post-operative function, tissue healing and biocompatibility.Results: Peak incidence was noted in the fourth and fifth decades of life. Both genders were almost equally involved in the study. The need for maxillectomy included - infective cystic pathology, odontogenic infections, mucormycosis, sinus pathologies and T1 maxillary carcinoma. The mean duration of hospitalisation was 5.3 days. The screw-based technique was superior in most of the criteria compared, followed by clasp-based technique and the material-based technique, respectively.Discussion: Based on the results of the study, the screw-based fixation technique offers an edge over the other two fixation techniques in terms of being trouble free for the surgeon, easy to fabricate, biocompatible and better patient quality of life.

Hence, this study was carried out to meet the requirement for developing customised cephalometric norms for the Northeastern Andhra Pradesh, Dravidian race population. The aim of this study was to verify the ethnic deviation of cephalometrics from standard cephalometrics for orthognathic surgery (COGS) Burstone's analysis in the Northeastern Andhra Population.Materials and methods: The subjects were drawn from the population of Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam. The data comprised 110 participants (55 males and 55 females) with Class I dental and skeletal profiles who reported to our college's Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The four clinicians used COGS Burstone analysis to trace the cephalograms and agreement was reached manually. The sample's average age and standard deviation were 22.5 ± 2.5.Results: Statistically significant differences were found with the parameters of the cranial base, vertical skeletal and dental and maxillomandibular measurements in the Northeastern Andhra population with reference to Caucasians.Discussion: This study analysed the cephalometric mean values of the population of Northeastern Andhra Pradesh and concluded that it was lower than those of Caucasians in most parameters.

Procalcitonin (PCT) has high sensitivity and specificity for identifying bacterial infections and helps in treatment monitoring.Materials and methods: After ethical committee approval, 20 cases of maxillofacial space infections who came to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with involvement of more than two spaces were included in the study. Demographic data and vital signs were recorded. Total WBC, CRP levels and PCT levels were measured at admission, 48 h and 96 h. The values were subjected to statistical analysis.Results: The decrease in PCT values was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05) when compared to the total WBC count and CRP values between admission/48 h period as well as 48/96-h periods, thus showing the positive response of patients to antibiotic therapy which was seen as clinical improvement.Discussion: PCT succeeds as being a promising biomarker to determine the treatment response in maxillofacial space infections and guiding antibiotic regimen accordingly.","PeriodicalId":7972,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"36-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12321168/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144788037","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}
