ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of gelatamp on soft tissue healing, bleeding, and pain following mandibular posterior teeth extraction. Methods: This study was designed as a split-mouth, prospective randomized double-blind controlled trial conducted in a single tertiary care center. Thirty-five subjects indicated for routine mandibular posterior teeth extraction were divided into two groups using the lottery technique: the experimental group (n = 30), which received gelatamp after extraction, and the control group (n = 30), which received no intervention. The primary outcomes included soft tissue healing(Landry, Turnbull, Howley index) and Pain(VAS score). The secondary outcomes assessed were bleeding(Maani et al. index) and swelling(Sauza and Consone assessment). Result: The results showed a statistically significant difference in soft tissue healing on the third and seventh days in the experimental group (p ≤ 0.05) than in the control group. A significant difference in bleeding scores at 5 min, 30 min, and 2 h postoperatively in the study group (p ≤ 0.05) was noted. There was no significant difference between the groups for pain on the first, third or seventh day postoperatively (p ≤ 0.05). The swelling assessment also showed no significant changes (p = 0.831) for the study and the control group. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, gelatamp can be effectively used to reduce postoperative sequelae such as bleeding with better soft tissue healing following extractions and surgical removal of tooth.

ABSTRACT

The rapid prototyping technology helped to convert the virtual surgical plans into action by the help of fusion deposition techniques. Starch based polymers like PLA (Poly lactic acid) are commonly used in the field of tissue engineering for making scaffolds. In dentistry its use is limited because of lack of precision. We tried to make a 3D printed locator guide for surgical removal of impacted maxillary premolar by using a starch based polymer.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is an uncommon benign odontogenic lesion with varied clinical and histological presentation. It has slow growth potential and a low recurrence rate. The tumor is mainly seen in females in the second decade of life, predominantly affecting the maxilla and associated most often with unerupted canine teeth, earning the epithet "two-thirds tumor". There are three variants: intrafollicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral. The peripheral or extra osseous type is a rare form that arises in gingival tissue. CASE PRESENTATION: This article describes a case of AOT in a 10-year-old girl who presented with gingival enlargement in relation to the maxillary left central incisor. Interestingly, intraoral periapical radiography did not show any significant findings. However, cone-beam computed tomography of the site revealed significant bone loss in the area. A surgical excision was done. Histopathological examination revealed features of AOT. Based on clinical, radiographic, and histological evidence, a diagnosis of peripheral AOT (PAOT) was made. CONCLUSION: PAOT is a rare disease entity in children that mimics gingival swelling, and may often be misdiagnosed by dentists. With literature still ambiguous on the origin of the tumor and biological course, it becomes imperative to examine any gingival swelling in children with a proper clinical examination, periapical radiography, and if necessary cone-beam computed tomography. Excision and histopathological evaluation will help in confirming the exact disease condition.

ABSTRACT

A mucous cyst is a lesion which can show a wide range of symptoms but is benign and most of them can even appear several months or even years after nasal surgeries. Size of the displaced epithelial fragment is a crucial factor for the development of the mucous cyst. Complete resection of the mucous cyst is the ideal treatment. Surfing through the literature we came across 18 cases of mucous cyst formation following nasal surgery. Here we describe a mucous cyst which had resulted from a rhinoplasty procedure the patient had undergone earlier in her life.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Glandular odontogenic cyst is a rare developmental odontogenic cyst, which often pose a challenge to diagnose it clinically. PRESENTATION OF A CASE: A 32 year old female patient was referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgery department with a chief complaint of a painless swelling in the anterior mandible, extending from mandibular left premolar to right first molar region, with fluctuancy and egg shell crackling at right premolar region. The associated teeth were firm. Radio graphically a large radiolucent lesion was seen extending from mandibular left premolar to right first molar region. DISCUSSION: We had many differential diagnoses including keratocystic odontogenic tumour, ameloblastoma and radicular cyst. Incisional biopsy was taken from the most fluctuant area, which was histopathologically suggestive of glandular odontogenic cyst. Enucleation of the cyst, peripheral ostectomy, extraction of teeth and Carnoy's solution application were done under general anaesthesia. CONCLUSION: We often neglect to include uncommon lesions in the differential diagnosis, which may lead to inadequacy in the management protocol. Whenever possible, incisional biopsy should be performed to confirm the lesion before surgical enucleation. Here we present a case in which we were fortunate enough to diagnose the lesion by an incisional biopsy and managed according to the standard protocol.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Intramuscular hemangioma, is a distinctive type of vascular tumor occurring within the skeletal muscle. Most IMH are located in the lower extremity, particularly in the muscles of the thigh and rarely in head and neck region. PRESENTATION OF CASE: 35 years old male reported with a swelling in the left cheek region since 3 years. Clinical and radiological evaluation leads to the diagnosis of Intramuscular hemangioma. Surgical excision was performed and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. DISCUSSION: Hemangiomas of skeletal muscle represent 0.8% of all benign vascular neoplasm Welsch and Hengerer, 1980 [4]. Of these 13.8% occur in the head and neck region, with the masseter muscle being the most common site, followed by the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles respectively. The lesions previously described as deep infiltrating angiolipomas have now been recognized by the WHO as intramuscular hemangiomas. numerous theories proposed for ethiopathogenisis of vascular lesions have been discussed. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, angiolipomas are rare in the head and neck region, and it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of masses in these regions. Proper radiological and clinical examination will reveal the type of vascular lesion. Excellent results can be obtained with timely management and good surgical skills.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: In a condylar fracture whether to intervene or to go for conservative management still remains a dilemma. Studies and hypothesis suggests that it's medially dislocated condylar fracture segment that is more likely to ankylose, moreover no consensus have been put forth as to whether to remove the medially displaced fracture segment. PRESENTATION OF CASE: The current article describes a case of unilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, which resulted as a sequlae from conservative management of a bilateral condylar fracture of which, the ankylosed side had a sagittal fracture of condyle. In our case the post trauma CT shows the lateral segment abutting with the arch and that the area has become ankylotic in a span of 2 years. Here we report a case of posttraumatic unilateral TMJ ankylosis resulting from closed reduction of a bilateral condylar fracture with interesting radiological findings. DISCUSSION: We have tried to discuss a rather interesting radiological picture of posttraumatic TMJ ankylosis which resulted as a sequlae from conservative management of a bilateral condylar fracture. CONCLUSION: The dilemma for a clinician as to whether to intervene in a condylar fracture or to go for conservative management still remains at large. As in this case the medial fracture segment was intact and the lateral segment was resulting in ankylosis.

ABSTRACT

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic debilitating disease characterized by gradually increasing fibrosis of the oral cavity and pharynx, mainly the buccal mucosa, resulting in trismus. Prepotency of the disease is seen in the Indian subcontinent, with its highest incidence in South India due to various deleterious habits. In spite of the numerous medical modalities employed in the management of oral submucous fibrosis, occasionally surgical intervention becomes inevitable. Various flaps have been used to reconstruct the surgical defects following excision of fibrous bands. Undoubtedly; the buccal fat pad remains the most versatile because of its excellent blood supply and minimal donor site morbidity. Here we present a case of severe oral submucous fibrosis surgically treated and reconstructed using buccal fat pad.

ABSTRACT

Human growth and development is a meticulously planned and precisely executed process. Even a mild disturbance can have clinically significant manifestations later on. Even today, ancient beliefs and practices override/delay patient's aspiration for seeking treatment as seen in the case report presented here. Congenital bifid tongue in association with various other orofacial abnormalities has been reported, many of which have been linked to various syndromes. But congenital bifid tongue occurring in the absence of other orofacial abnormalities is very rare. Here, we discuss a case of bifid tongue involving the anterior one-third of tongue, reported in a 45-year-old male patient unusually with no other intraoral abnormalities.
