conclusions in this study, use of one miniplate or two miniplates for treatment of favorable mandibular angle fractures was associated with a similar incidence of complications. thus, it seems that the use of two miniplates in this setting may not be warranted, nor cost-efficient. results in the single miniplate group, 25 patients showed lip numbness associated with surgery (55.6%), 22 patients...

It is known that the mandibular first molar can display significant anatomical variations namely the number of root canals, the number of roots and morphology. Mandibular molars may sometimes have an additional root located lingually (the radix entomolaris) or buccally (the radix paramolaris). If encountered, an awareness and understanding of this unusual root and its canal morphology can contr...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of present study was to assess the surgical management of impacted third molar with proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve and complications associated with coronectomy in a series of patients undergoing third molar surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS The position of the mandibular canal in relation to the mandibular third molar region and mandibular foramen in the front pa...

Excavations from a 7,000-year-old mortuary site in the Lake Baikal region of Siberia, Russian Federation, revealed an infant with osteomyelitis of the mandible. The lesion exhibits deformation of the anterior mandibular base, an extra-oral cloaca, and new periosteal bone layers on the corpus. Entry of oral microorganisms was likely via the deciduous left canine, with infection then concentrated...

BACKGROUND Noncompression monocortical miniplate fixation of the mandibular angle is an accepted and reliable method for providing rigid internal fixation. High complication rates have been reported for internal fixation of angle fractures. OBJECTIVE To analyze the outcome and complications in cases in which patients were treated with 2-miniplate fixation at the mandibular angle. DESIGN A r...

Background: Mandibular angle fractures are treated by many open reduction and fixation techniques. Each technique has several advantages disadvantages. The external oblique ridge via introral approach versus transbuccal intraoral together were compared in this study. Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of vs an technique. A single miniplate for therapy mandibular fractures.Material Meth...

ABSTRACT Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare and severe infection characterized by extensive quickly progressing necrosis of the subcutaneous tissue muscle fascia associated with high mortality rates in head neck region. We present case fatal necrotizing due to an untreated mandibular fracture. Eight days after trauma, patient was admitted hospital died on sixth day hospitalization.

A case of transient post-varicella lingual-mandibular dystonia is presented. This case was compared with the eight previously reported instances of involuntary movement disorders which rarely follow varicella infection.

Apical (periapical) infections of cheek teeth (CT) are a major clinical problem, especially in younger horses, where the infection inevitably involves the supporting mandibular (Fig. 1) or maxillary bones (Fig. 2), or the overlying paranasal sinuses. The term apical infection is preferable to tooth root infection as these infections often occur in younger horses before any true roots (enamel-fr...
