Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major factor responsible for death in patients suffering from prolonged immobilisation due to various causes like old age, pregnancy, stroke, and prolonged surgical procedures to mention a few. Long-duration surgeries as in fixation and reconstruction in panfacial fractures and facial orthognathic surgeries can be...

Objectives Patients on anticancer therapy attending palliative care services often have oral health problems, but not enough is known in this regard (in India). This cross-sectional study aimed to elucidate this issue. Methods Participants were 98 patients with metastatic cancer (52 males, 46 females) who attended the palliative care clinic and we...

Background : The complex nature of maxillofacial injuries can affect the surgical treatment outcomes and general well-being of the patient. To evaluate the efficiency of the surgical treatment, assessment of the quality of life (QOL) of the patients is of vital importance. Due to the absence of an exclusive QOL assessment tool for maxillofacial fra...

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of posterior maxillary teeth extraction buccal infiltration with or without the use of palatal injection. Material and Methods A total of 70 patients underwent extraction of bilateral maxillary posterior teeth under 2% lignocaine hydrochloride with 1:2,00000 adrenaline infiltration in this single-centric split...

Children are not simply ''small adults'', and the application of adult-type treatment can be inappropriate in many circumstances. Their craniomaxillofacial (CMF) structure changes dramatically as children grow and develop. This anatomical change also changes the location, pattern, and nature of CMF injury. Similarly, condylar architecture and anato...

Submental intubation has been established as a useful technique in securing the airway and is also less invasive as compared to a tracheostomy. This approach is especially useful in cases of fractures involving the naso-orbito-ethmoid complex, where a nasotracheal intubation would be contraindicated. Also, in case of orthognathic surgeries, where o...

Introduction With little evidence available in the literature, this study tries to clinically determine the efficiency and outcomes of non-surgical management of post-traumatic Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. Materials and Methods One hundred and three patients with post-traumatic isolated ZMC fractures managed conservatively for vari...

The penetration of foreign objects is one of the leading causes of maxillofacial infection following trauma. Failure to detect such objects at initial stages can lead to complications like abscess formation, cellulitis, or space infections. Detection is even more complicated if the patient presents to the maxillofacial center after a delay of days...

Objective: To assess the influence of oral and maxillofacial trauma on the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and to determine the efficiency of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) as a diagnostic tool for detecting PTSD in patients with Oral and Maxillofacial injuries. Material and Methods: PTSD was assessed one month post...

IntroductionBilateral coronoid hyperplasia is an abnormal elongation of the mandibular coronoid process which is rare in occurrence and causes progressive but slow reduction in mouth opening. In case of reduction in zygomatic arch fracture by Gillies temporal approach, the presence of bilateral coronoid hyperplasia can be a possible factor for hind...

Objective To compare the healing of extraction socket among non-diabetic, prediabetic, and diabetic patients. Materials and Methods A single-center prospective observational study was conducted. Glycated hemoglobin and random blood glucose were recorded for all the participants before the procedure. A trained and calibrated examiner evaluated the...

Oral Submucus fibrosis has been reported to cause variation in hearing sensitivity & changes in middle ear function. This study was conducted to validate the influence of OSMF and its surgical correction on middle ear function and hearing sensitivity. In this study, 20 patients (40 ears) suffering from biopsy proven OSMF (Group 2 & 3) were tested f...
