Hence in this study we aim to evaluate the effect of methylprednisolone injection into the muscles on pain edema and trismus post third molar impaction. Material and Methods: We injected methylprednisolone acetate into the masseter muscle via the intrabuccal approach, one hour before the surgery and immediately after suturing of the surgical wound, among the 100 subjects divided to two groups as case and controls.. we evaluated postoperative pain, trismus and swelling. The numeric pain scale (NPS) was used for pain assessment. Results: we observed that superior results in preoperative group for mouth opening, pain and all the facial swelling parameters, they were also statistically significant differences than when the postoperatively administered methylprednisolone acetate. Conclusions: Preoperative administration of the methylprednisolone is more effective in reducing pain, trismus and swelling, when compared to that administered postoperatively.

The prominent position and configuration of the mandible make it one of the most frequent facial bones to be fractured. Open reduction and internal fixation are the preferred treatment methods for mandibular fractures. Objective To compare the effect of three-dimensional (3D) plates and conventional miniplates for internal fixation of anterior mandibular fractures. Material and Method This was a controlled and randomized clinical trial. A total of 14 patients aged between 21 and 50 years, who had symphyseal or parasymphyseal mandibular fractures, were randomly selected for this study from the outpatient clinic of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department. In this study, open reduction and internal fixation were performed for mandibular symphyseal and parasymphyseal region fractures using 3D plates in 7 patients as the study group and miniplates in 7 patients as the control group. Patients were followed for a period of 3 months at the interval of 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 3 months for wound dehiscence, infection segmental mobility, postoperative occlusion, significant postoperative complications, and radiological evaluation of reduction, and fixation was done with a postoperative orthopantamogram (OPG) and 6 months postop computed tomography scan. Result There was no statistical difference between the 2 groups regarding pain, sensory response, operating time, occlusion, postoperative infection, wound dehiscence, mobility of fracture segment, and bone healing.

Children are more likely to have mandibular fractures than midface fractures, with condylar fractures being the most prevalent, followed by parasymphysis, angle, and body fractures. The low prevalence of mandibular fractures in children can be linked to the safe environment they are provided with as well as their unique growing patterns. Pediatric patients present a unique challenge to maxillofacial surgeons in terms of their treatment planning and in their functional needs. Materials and Methods: A prospective analysis of pediatric patients with mandibular symphysis/parasymphysis/body fractures operated from January 2016 to October 2021 was performed. Clinical photographs and orthopantomogram assessment at the time of presentation, after treatment, and at 6 months postoperatively were evaluated. Result: All 17 patients were followed up until the period of 6 months, and none of them had any major complications. Postoperatively, there was satisfactory healing and union of fracture fragments in all the patients. Only 1 patient developed an infection in the submental region. In each case, the surgical splint was removed during 15 to 21 postoperative days. The 6-month follow-up showed good occlusion, without interference in teeth eruption, and no signs of temporomandibular joint problems. Conclusions: In our study, because of the sheer ease of fabrication, maintenance of periodontal tissue integrity, patient compliance, and convenience of measuring the occlusion following reduction, we chose an acrylic cap splint followed by circummandibular wiring.

Aim: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the clinical as well as radiographic outcomes of different types of management modalities in various mandibular condyle fractures during 6 months of follow-up. Material and Method: This retrospective study consisted of 17 patients of which 11 were male (65%) and 6 female (35%). These included 12 unilateral condylar fractures (70%) and 5 bilateral fractures (30%). Anatomically, these fractures were 13 condylar neck fractures (59%) while 9 were subcondylar fractures (41%). Depending on the anatomic position, type, displacement/dislocation/deviation of condyle, and associated fractures, 5 closed reduction (23%) and 17 open reduction and internal fixations (77%) were performed. Fixation was done with lag screw in 1 patient, 3-D strut plate in 2 patients, and single miniplate fixations in 14 patients. Orthopantomograms were taken preoperatively, immediate postoperatively, and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively to evaluate the radiographic changes. Results: Preoperatively, the average ramus height was 62.07 ± 4.13 (in mm) while condylar angulation was 18.23 ± 4.38 (in degree) while immediate postoperatively these were 66.98 ± 5.03 (in mm) and 25.67 ± 4.07 (in degree), respectively. After 6 months, the value was 66.43 ± 4.97 (in mm) and 25.24 ± 3.94 (in degree) which is statistically significant (P < .5). Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation allows better maintenance in function and anatomical repositioning of condyle as compared to closed reduction.

It, directly and indirectly, reflects the overall well-being of an individual; thus, maintaining oral hygiene becomes a crucial factor. 2 The use of toothbrushes and/or dental floss is essential to removing dental biofilm and for preventing dental caries and periodontal diseases. 3 While toothbrushes play a pivotal role in the mechanical method of plaque control, they also act as reservoirs of microorganisms in healthy, diseased, or medically ill patients. 4 The issue of the contamination of toothbrushes was reported by Cobb as early as in 1920, 5 Glass in 1992 observed that injuries to oral tissues are aggravated by the use of contaminated toothbrushes when compared with sterile ones, and may even cause bacteremia and sometimes septicemia after brushing. 6 Taiji, Rogers 7 reported that toothbrushes are usually stored in bathrooms and present a high level of contamination, considering that this environment is highly contaminated, mainly by enteric bacteria dispersed by aerosols. Contaminated toothbrushes are likely to play an important role in many oral and systemic diseases, causing septicemia and diseases of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal systems. 8 The microorganisms which contaminate the toothbrushes are known to maintain their viability ranging from 1 day to 1 week, 9 these along with other factors like storage circumstances, toothbrush location, placing the toothbrushes in close proximity with toothbrushes of other family members, and the survival time of microorganisms cause the reintroduction of potential pathogens and cross-infection in the oral cavity. 10

Superadded infections can make the condition painful. Management of sialolithiasis can be done conservatively or by intraoral surgery without recurrence. Though these can be treated successfully with rare chances of recurrence, multiple sialoliths is a rare finding. It becomes difficult for a surgeon to manage it by less invasive surgery if there are multiple recurring calculi. This case report presents the case of a 35 year old woman who reported for the management of multiple calculi which was managed by intraoral incision and 9 sialoliths were retrieved from the Wharton's duct. Occlusal radiographs and restoration of salivary flow confirmed that all the sialoliths had been retrieved. Composition analysis was carried out for the calculi. However, recurrence occurred multiple times eventually leading to the sialadenitis of the gland. Surgical excision of the submandibular gland was performed to prevent further discomfort to the patient. Recurrence of calculi plays a major role in deciding the method of treatment. Studies on composition analysis can help analyse the cause of multiple recurrences in future.

It is not a neoplasm but can cause considerable bone resorption and occasionally pathological fracture. The treatment is to deal with the diseased parathyroid gland which interferes with the normal calcium metabolism. In this article, we are presenting a case report of a 16-year-old female patient who came with a chief complain of swellings in the maxillary region who turned out to be a case of primary hyperparathyroidism and the primary treatment was done by focus parathyroidectomy.
