AIM The aim of this study is to describe oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among patients who have had a complete dislocation of the tooth out of its socket (tooth avulsion). The study also sought to identify clinical evidence, associated with OHRQoL, of the ideal therapeutic choice after tooth avulsion among these patients under 18 years old. STUDY DESIGN 73 patients under 18 year...

Root fracture is a rarely seen traumatic injury in permanent dentition. It has prevalence of 0.5-7 %. Tooth survival significantly affected by the type healing and location root fracture. Additionally, patient’s age, stage development, mobility dislocation coronal fragment, diastasis between fragments following this kind are among important factors.
 In case presentation, management with M...

This following case report describes the open reduction, internal fixation and the reconstruction of an extensive comminuted mandibular fracture with bilateral condylar fractures in a 19-year-old male patient with an intellectual disability and autistic disorder. He suffered fall trauma, resulting in shattered bony fragments of the alveolus and mandibular body between both mandibular rami, the ...

A total of 45 mandibular fracture patients with 54 teeth in the fracture line were evaluated retrospectively. One tooth in the fracture line was lost in the accident, 6 were extracted later and 47 could be saved (87%). At the follow-up examination 38% of the teeth were diagnosed to have pulp necrosis, which was found more frequently in the older patients and in cases in which the time elapsing ...

From a dental viewpoint, incisor-luxation fractures in horses are fraught with complexities. Luxation fractures are defined as the dislocation of a tooth out of its alveolus without being totally avulsed from the mouth. These are dental emergencies with far-reaching implications. The periodontal and endodontic survival of the involved teeth depends on how these cases are handled. Owners should ...

multiplanar or global laxity in arthritic knee is rare , most of this patients have neuromuscular disorder (post poliomyelitis , spinal dystrophy) or history of knee trauma. ligament insufficiency and severe bone loss is significant in this patient. the estimated prevalence for the concurrence of charcot marie-tooth (cmt) with myasthenia gravis (mg) suggests an extremely rare event. we have pre...

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 205 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation complaints (2 or more) referred to Shafa Orthopedic and Iranmehr hospitals Tehran, Iran, from Oc...

absractall perilunate fracture-dislocations combine bone avulsions, ligament disruptionand fractures in different forms. the most frequent pattern is the dorsal transscaphoidperilunate fracture-dislocation. the reported risk of missed initial diagnosisin perilunate dislocations is as high as 20%. concerning pathomechanics of theperilunate fracture-dislocation, it should be noted that most dorsa...

CONTEXT Orofacial and dental trauma continues to be a commonly encountered issue for the sports medicine team. All sports have some risk for dental injury, but "contact sports" presumably incur more risk. Immediate evaluation and proper management of the most common injuries to dentition can result in saving or restoration of tooth structure. Despite the growing body of evidence, mouth guard us...

introduction arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (amc) with incidence of 1 in 3000 of births is characterized by multiple rigid joint and soft-tissue contractures. case presentation we present a case of amc with severe soft tissue and joints contractures, especially joints of lower limb and elbows, bilateral complete dislocation of hips (cdh) and knees (cdk) (type iii), bilateral elbow joint dis...
