ABSTRACT
Introduction: Pseudocyst or seroma is an uncommon asymptomatic, non-in?ammatory swelling of the pinna, characterized by endochondral cyst formation. Pseudocyst commonly occur as a post trauma sequela. The objective of our study is to compare and analyse the outcomes of aspiration and window technique in treating auricular seroma. Randomized control study. This study comprised of 20 patients who presented with Study Design: Setting: auricular seroma to the Department of ENT, HSK Hospital, Bagalkot from August 2020 to December 2022. The Methods: diagnosis of the auricular pseudocyst was made clinically. Out of 20 patients, 10 patients were taken up for wide bore needle aspiration followed by contour pressure dressing, and 10 patients underwent the window procedure. Patients were followed up for a period of 6 months. In the 10 cases primarily taken up for needle aspiration, there was a recurrence in 8 out of the Results: 10 cases; while 2 patients showed successful outcome during the 6 months of follow-up. Of the 10 cases taken up primarily for the window procedure, no recurrences were noted as compared to aspiration group, which was statistically signi?cant (p=0.0003) Considering the rate of success and minimal complications encountered in our study, we would . Conclusion: advocate the use of deroo?ng technique for achieving better outcome in the management of pinna pseudocysts.

ABSTRACT
Introducción: La elevación de seno maxilar con implante dental simultáneo, sin el uso de substitutos óseos, ha retomado la teoría del potencial de neoformación ósea, que el coágulo de sangre alojado bajo la membrana de Schneider por sí solo presenta. Excluyendo así la necesidad de materiales exógenos. Objetivo: Exponer la efectividad de la elevación de seno maxilar con implante dental simultáneo, sin el uso de injerto, mediante la evaluación de la cantidad de ganancia ósea vertical. Presentación de casos: Caso 1: Paciente de 62 años, género femenino, que fue sometida a una elevación de seno maxilar sin injerto e implante dental simultáneo, con técnica de ventana lateral debido a altura ósea reducida de 5,24 mm. Luego del período de seguimiento tomográfico de 12 meses, después de la carga protésica, se logró una altura ósea vertical de 10,2 mm, lo que dio como resultado una ganancia ósea vertical de 4,96 mm. Caso 2: Paciente de 48 años, género femenino, que fue sometida a una elevación de seno maxilar sin injerto e implante dental simultáneo, con técnica transalveolar, mediante el uso de piezoeléctrico debido a una altura ósea reducida de 8,33 mm. Luego del período de seguimiento radiográfico de 4 meses, antes de la carga protésica, se logró una altura ósea vertical de 11,55 mm, lo que dio como resultado una ganancia ósea vertical de 3,19 mm. Conclusiones: Con base en estos 2 informes de casos, la elevación de seno maxilar e implante dental simultáneo sin injerto se asocian con la reducción de la morbilidad quirúrgica, menor probabilidad de procesos infecciosos y menor costo de la cirugía. Por lo tanto, puede considerarse una alternativa quirúrgica para la colocación de implantes en el maxilar posterior superior debido a deficiencias óseas verticales, independientemente de la técnica (lateral o transalveolar(AU)
Introduction: Maxillary sinus lift with simultaneous dental implantation without using bone substitutes, reapproaches the theory about the bone neoformation potential of the blood clot housed under the Schneider membrane, all by itself, thus excluding the need to use exogenous materials. Objective: Discuss the effectiveness of graftless maxillary sinus lift with simultaneous dental implant placement through an evaluation of the amount of vertical bone gain. Case presentation: Case 1: Female 62-year-old patient undergoing graftless maxillary sinus lift with simultaneous dental implantation by lateral window technique due to a reduced bone height of 5.24 mm. After a 12-month tomographic follow-up period subsequent to prosthetic loading, a 10.2 mm vertical bone height was achieved, resulting in 4.96 mm vertical bone gain. Case 2: Female 48-year-old patient undergoing graftless maxillary sinus lift with simultaneous dental implantation by transalveolar technique using a piezoelectric generator due to a reduced bone height of 8.33 mm. After a 4-month radiographic follow-up period, before prosthetic loading, an 11.55 mm vertical bone height was achieved, resulting in 3.19 mm vertical bone gain. Conclusions: According to these two case reports, graftless maxillary sinus lifting with simultaneous dental implantation is associated to reduced surgical morbidity, a lesser probability of infectious processes and lower surgical costs. It may therefore be considered to be a surgical alternative for implant placement in the posterior maxilla due to vertical bone deficiencies, regardless of the technique used (lateral or transalveolar(AU)

Introduction: Rehabilitation of patients with flabby ridgesposes a great amount of difficulty for a prosthodontist. Asthe flabby tissues easily gets distorted while impressionmaking, the dentures fabricated on such foundations are oftencompromised in its retention and stability.Case report: Liquid supported denture fabricated usingmodified window impression technique in this case usesmucostatic impression technique where flabby tissue is locatedand the denture base is covered with a preshaped, closed fittingflexible PVC sheet which help in continued adaptation of thedenture to the mucosa in the resting and functional states.Conclusion: Liquid supported denture fabricated usingmodified window impression technique can stand a betteroption in case of flabby ridges while considering conventionalprosthodontics. This concept can further improve the patient’scomfort and acceptance because of uniform distribution ofmasticatory forces.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of oral health instructions in nursing of marsupialized jaw cysts. Methods 46 patients with cysts of jaw were divided randomly into two groups (education group and control), 23 in each. In addition of normal nursing processes in both groups, patients in education group were offered more oral health instructions, such as pathogenesis of jaw cysts, mechanism of marsupialization, wear and clean of a cyst plug, and oral hygiene maintenance. 12 months later, compliance, satisfaction, treatment effect and oral hygiene condition of the patients in the two groups were studied and compared. Results 100%of patients in the education group could return to clinical visits on time and 96%of patients did cyst rinsing after every meal, which were significantly higher (χ2=6.9, P0.05). Oral hygiene condition of patients in the education group was better than control in Debris Index (χ2=9.576, P < 0.05) and Plaque Index (χ2=8.212, P < 0.05). Conclusions Oral health instructions played positive role in improving patients′ compliance, degree of satisfaction, treatment effect and oral hygiene condition in patients with jaw cysts.
