Infratemporal fossa injuries are uncommon and often go undetected presenting later with complications. We present a case of an infratemporal fossa penetrating injury with a ball point spring following a vehicular accident. Post-traumatic trismus even following supposedly trivial injury in the area should raise suspicion of possible injury in this location.

Loss of bony integrity of the temporomandibular joint may result in prolapse of the joint capsule into the external auditory canal. This in turn gives rise to arthralgia, trismus and earache and a risk of septic arthritis. We describe a technique of repair which is simple, uses autologous tissue and has an acceptable cosmetic and functional result.

We report an atypical case of paralytic rabies presenting with trismus followed by limb weakness, areflexia, ophthalmoparesis, and bilateral ptosis. Atypical presentations and history of rabies postexposure prophylaxis led to delayed diagnosis. Nucleocapsid and glycoprotein genes of rabies viruses from the patient's and biting dog's brains were of identical sequences.

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE The routine way to access the uncomplicated airway is via direct laryngoscopy. When this is not possible, there are a number of other techniques to help visualization such as the video laryngoscopy. These require a degree of mouth opening. With almost complete trismus, the clinician should resort to awake fibreoptic nasal intubation to secure the airway.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective clinical trial was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications following surgical extraction of lower third molars (L8) and the risk factors and clinical variables associated with these complications. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Three-hundred and twenty-seven consecutive patients (128 men and 199 women, mean age = 23.1 ± 3.9 years, range: 18-40) wer...

In cases of large maxillary defects and trismus that result from surgical removal a tumor in the maxilla, use two pieces obturator overcome problem improve retention by engagement all desirable undercuts which enhance obturator. Improve help patient to continue his/her life. The case study describes construction with silicon bulb attached hollow Bulb ledge.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Surgical removal of a mandibular impacted third molar is one among the most common oral surgical procedures. The objective of this study was to assess and identify risk indicators influencing extended operation time in relation to the surgical removal of mesioangular impacted mandibular third molar, position A, Class I and to evaluate the incidence of postoperative swe...

OBJECTIVES 1) to compare mandibular bone regeneration by applying autologous bone, platelet-rich plasma and two biomaterials (synthetic calcium hydroxyapatite, and demineralized bone matrix), and thus establish the potential benefits of these biomaterials in the regeneration of postextraction alveolar bone, 2) to identify which of them accelerates more bone regeneration and 3) to determine whet...

Objective:
 To compare the mean reduction in trismus postoperatively after use of 4mg and 8mg intravenous dexamethasone preoperatively, following impacted mandibular third molar surgery.
 Materials Methods:
 This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted at department oral maxillofacial surgery Peshawar dental college, from 10th December 2018 to 16th July 2019 college’s rev...
