Reconstruction of Extraoral Fistula of Dental Origin

Odontogenic extraoral fistulas often lead to intense levels of patient discomfort and incidence of complications, which are relieved by treatment. However, the cosmetic outcome following treatment may not meet the expectations of the patient. A 51-year-old male presented with a chronically draining lesion on his left cheek. Clinical examination revealed necrosis in the mandibular left first molar and a panoramic radiograph demonstrated periapical abscess surrounding the root apex. A diagnosis of extraoral fistula of odontogenic origin was made, and the affected tooth was extracted. The extraoral fistula disappeared but the defect on the cheek exhibited no improvement over the 2 month follow-up period. Surgical revision of the defect was therefore necessary. A Limberg flap was designed and then transposed to the defect region, followed by primary closure of the donor region. The 6-month follow-up visit revealed satisfactory results for both the patient and the surgeon. This manuscript is the first case report focusing on residual defect elimination of an extraoral fistula with the use of a transpositional flap in the cheek region

Comparison of the effects of diclofenac potassium and tenoxicam on postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus following third molar surgery

Background/aim: This study aimed to compare two nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents in relation to pain, swelling, and trismus following impacted third molar surgery

Effects of polymethylmethacrylate on the stability of screw fixation in mandibular angle fractures: A study on sheep mandibles

Aim: Malfixed miniplates can impair fracture healing, and the screw pilot holes may widen during repeated fixation trials. This in vitro study explored the extent to which screw fixation of mandibular angle fractures could be improved by augmenting the drilling holes with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)

Airflow characteristics in differently elevated Schneiderian membranes: a computational fluid dynamics analysis

Distributions of air flow velocities and streamline are modelled numerically at different anatomical levels of sinus lifting surgery in Schnederian membrane models with various degrees of elevation. Three different elevated Schnederian membrane topography models are used which are control group (case 0), symmetrically dome-shaped (case 1), partially elevated model (case 2) and plane model (case 3). Three different volumetric flow rates which are 30 l/min, 15 l/min and 7.5 l/min are used. The inspiration and expiration are modelled numerically. In numerical analysis, computational fluid dynamic techniques are used. Incompressible flow and time independent assumptions are used. Airflow flow behaviours are discussed for different elevated Schnederian membrane topography, volumetric volume rates and for expiration and inspiration

CAVERNOUS LYMPHANGIOMA OF THE TONGUE IN AN ADULT: A CASE REPORT

Lymphangioma is a benign hamartomatous lesion caused by congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. This benign tumor is detected most commonly at birth or in early childhood but rarely in adults. On clinical examination, most lymphangiomas contain clear lymph fluid, but some may present as transparent vesicles containing red blood cells due to hemorrhage. In addition, lymphangioma may occur in association with hemangioma. This tumor occurs most commonly in the head and neck area, but rarely in the oral cavity. The dorsum of the tongue is the most common location in the mouth, followed by the lips, buccal mucosa, soft palate, and floor of the mouth. There are various treatment approaches for lymphangioma, but surgical excision is the preferred method. We present a case of a 26-year-old man with lymphangioma on the anterior dorsal part of the tongue, not associated with any dysfunction in mastication or speech disorders
