Comparing the efficacy of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide and hyaluronidase with placental extract in oral submucous fibrosis cases: An original research

Intralesional infiltrations with placental extract and triamcinolone with hyaluronidase are equally effective in treating trismus of OSMF. No difference in treatment efficacy was seen in placental extract group or with triamcinolone with hyaluronidase group.   Oral submucous fibrosis is a widely prevalent oral mucosal lesion in Indian population and considering its premalignant potential and severe clinical manifestations many studies are done by many authors regarding various aspects of this condition such as etiology pathogenesis and treatment. Arecoline of Areca catechu is mostly attributed as the causative factors in addition to pan and tobacco in different combinations. In our study a random allocation of 120 patients was done equally into two groups. Group 1 received 4 ml of placental extract injection intralesionally at weekly interval for 12 weeks and Group 2 received combination of triamcinolone acetonide( 10 mg/ml) + hyaluronidase (1,500 IU) at weekly intervals for 12 weeks. Treatment outcome was evaluated on the basis of improvement in trismus, oral mucosal pattern and reduction in burning sensation

Comparison between different absorbable plating systems in craniofacial surgery-an original research

Aim: The purpose of this in vitro present research was to evaluate different absorbable plating systems in different craniofacial surgeries. Methodology: A sample of patients with single-suture nonsyndromic craniosynostosis treated using either Resorb-X or Delta bioresorbable plating systems were reviewed. Only patients with preoperative, immediate, and long-term 3-dimensional photographic images or computed tomography scans were included. A comparison of plating system outcomes was performed to determine the need for clinic and emergency room visits, imaging obtained, and incidence of subsequent surgical procedures due to complications. Results: Forty-six patients (24 Resorb-X and 22 Delta) underwent open repair with bioabsorbable plating for single suture craniosynostosis. The mean age at each imaging time point was similar between the 2 plating systems (P>0.717). Deformity specific measures for sagittal (cranial index), metopic (inter fronto temporale), and unicoronal (frontal asymmetry) synostosis were equivalent between the systems at all time points (0.05<P<0.904). A single Delta patient developed bilateral scalp cellulitis and abscesses and subsequently required operative intervention and antibiotics. Conclusion: Bioabsorbable plating for craniosynostosis in children as well as craniofacial surgeries are effective and has low morbidity
