A simple method for repairing membrane sinus perforation

The classical sinus lift procedure is a well-docume- nted technique and Schneiderian membrane perfora-tion is one of the most common complications. Vari-ous repairs have been developed for managing sinus membrane perforations. We describe a new suture technique of Schneiderian membrane that makes it possible to complete a sinus lift procedure that oth-erwise might have been aborted by preventing loss of the graft in the sinus cavity and secondary complica-tions, such as sinusitis

The Intraoral Approach for Aesthetic Restoration of Posttraumatic Zygomatic Arch Deformities

Minimally invasive oral and maxillofacial surgery is now being developed for virtuallyall minor and major oral and maxillo- facial surgeries, and developments are now focused on facial trauma surgery. This article assesses the feasibility of reducing isolated zy- gomatic arch fractures using the intraoral lateral coronoid approach. The procedure is cost-effective and timesaving, as it can be per- formed under local anesthesia in an emergency department or simi- lar clinical setting and does not need postoperative hospitalization if no other comorbidities are present
