The cases are of patients who were victims of car accidents and who developed a blow-out orbital fracture. Clinically, they presented periorbital ecchymosis, blepharoedema, enophthalmos, and ophthalmoplegia and, therefore, underwent surgical reconstructive treatment. For both cases, preoperative computed tomography and biomodel impression of the orbits were performed. The modeling of the titanium mesh covering the defect in the biomodel that would be used in the surgery was performed. In the intraoperative period of reduction and fixation of the fracture with the titanium mesh, optics were used to better visualize the posterior defect, as well as computed tomography to ensure that the entire affected area was reconstructed. Both patients were followed up in the postoperative period and evolved without clinical and functional complaints.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was an interventional and longitudinal study of the randomized clinical trial with blinding. The survey was approved by the CEP under: CAAE 66446216.6.0000.5207. Statistical analyzes were performed based on the selection of 43 patients with diagnosis of temporomandibular arthropathies after examination of the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Dysfunction (DC / TMD) and assistance with images such as CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging. The patients were divided into two groups: G1-Biopsychosocial group and G2-Neurophysiological group. The variables studied were pain, mandibular function, need for alt...

The aim of this study is to report a rare case of lung metastasis from mandibular ameloblastoma, in order to review its risk and analyze the main anatomic sites that can occur with this disease. The case of a 48-year-old woman is described. She presented a metastatic pulmonary ameloblastoma 7 years after the removal of a mandibular ameloblastoma. During routine exams, a tumor in the left lung was observed. It was asymptomatic, near to the mediastinum, measured 7x5.5 cm. Transthoracic needle biopsy revealed ameloblastoma with the same histological characteristics of the primary tumor. After radiotherapy, the patient presented regression of the tumor. The patient has been under follow-up for 5 years and there is no presence of tumor. Ameloblastoma is an aggressive tumor not only in the region of origin, but also i...

Among the most conservative treatments are enucleation and marsupialization; among radicals, resections are more widespread. Objective: The objective is to present, through a case report, conservative surgical treatment with enucleation followed by the use of the Carnoy solution. Case report: A 24-year-old male patient arrives at the outpatient clinic of Hospital da Restauração with painful complaints of mild and constant intensity in the region of the left mandibular angle, with an evolution of three weeks. After a panoramic X-ray, the presence of the included 38 tooth was associated with an extensive unilocular radiolucent lesion, surrounding the angle and mandibular ramus. Preoperative examinations were performed for incisional biop...

Material and Methods: A cross-sectional and qualitative study, under protocol number 20707519.5.0000.5207, was carried out by applying a questionnaire to patients undergoing bichectomy, which made it possible to assess complaints, degree of postoperative satisfaction, satisfaction of family members, time required to perceive results, complications and adverse effects, intensity of postoperative pain, and possibility of being submitted to a new intervention. Results: The sample consisted of 30 patients, among them, 82% sought surgery for aesthetic reasons. Regarding the degree of satisfaction, the majority (70%) were very satisfied, followed by 13.3% who were satisfied, 10% considered normal, 3.3% were dissatisfied and 3.3% very dissatisfied. Regarding the opinion of friends and family, the majority were very satisfied with the result. The adverse effects found were mild, no permanent injury happened, and the pain was mild in the most majority of the sample. Conclusion: Thus, the most majority of patients were satisfied with the results, as well as their family and friends. The results were more evident between the second and third months. No major or permanent damage was observed, suggesting that it is a safe technique when performed well.

A randomized, triple-blind clinical trial of independent samples was carried out. The sample was divided into two groups: G1 (melatonin) and G2 (placebo). Interventions were standardized with 10 mg melatonin or placebo the night before surgery and 1 h before the start of surgery. The studied variables were level of salivary cortisol, level of anxiety, pain, and use of rescue analgesics. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed, with a margin of error considered as 5%. A total of 14 patients were included, and after using the medication, the measurement of cortisol was reduced in the melatonin group (0.48 ± 0.25 to 0.43 ± 0.13 μg/100 ml) and increased in the placebo group (0.19 ± 0.12 to 0.23 ± 0.18 μg/100 ml).
