MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a retrospective study design, records of all trauma patients who reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, KLE's PK Hospital Belgaum, between the years January 2006 to October 20...

Retromandibular transparotid approach to mandibular subcondylar and high ramus fractures: two-point fixation.

BACKGROUND Although the fractures of the mandibular condylar region are very common, the controversies about the treatment of this area is still ongoing. In recent years, general agreement has emerged that open treatment is more effective than closed approaches for extracapsular condylar fractures. However, this time, the method of surgical approach has become controversial. The aim of this stu...

Hemangioma of the mandibular condyle and ramus.

lntraosseous hemangiomas are benign tumors occurring most often in the skull and vertebrae. Rarely , these lesions can present in the maxilla and mandible. We found in the literature a case of an intraosseous hemangioma involving the mandibular condyle (1 ). We wish to report the panoramic zonographic, computed tomographic, and pathologic findings of another case involving both the condyle and ...

Pediatric Mandibular Fractures: A Review

The general principles of treating mandibular fractures are the same in children and adults: Anatomic reduction is combined with stabilization adequate to maintain it until bone union has occurred. But recognition of some of the differences between ...
