The zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are highly frequent injuries. There is a variety of operative techniques for fixation of ZMC fractures, with no consensus about the best technique. We aim to compare one-point versus two-point fixation of tripodal zygomatic fractures. This study was carried out on 34 patients admitted to the trauma unit in Sanjay Gandhi Institute of Trauma and Orthopaedics in the period from September 2022 to August 2023. Patients were divided into two groups (group 1; one-point fixation, and group 2; two- point fixation). When compared to the one-point fixation group, only 14 patients had substantial stability with a P-value of <0.05 being statistically significant. In contrast, nearly all patients in the two-point fixation group had higher stability. In the two-point fixation group, nearly all patients had a post-operative scar; in the one-point fixation group, however, only two patients had the same scar, and the mouth opening was also improved. In two-point fixation, paraesthesia was observed in nearly seven patients, while in one-point fixation, it was present in only two patients.The one-point fixation technique for tripodal ZMC fractures is considered effective as the two-point fixation technique; and it offers advantages of scarless operation, reduced operation time, fewer complications, and lower cost.

: In maxillofacial traumas, zygomaticomaxillary complex(ZMC) and orbital blow out fractures are commonly encountered midfacial fractures that may result in aesthetic and functional impairment. Orbital floor injuries can occur in isolation or in association with zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures. We aim to assess Clinical and radiological outcome of open and closed reduction of inferior orbital rim fracture. This study was carried out on 34 patients admitted to the trauma unit in Sanjay Gandhi Institute of Trauma and Orthopaedics in the period from September 2022 to August 2023. Patients were divided into two groups (group 1; closed reduction, and group 2; open reduction). When compared with group 1 group 2 patient had better post operative outcome. None of the the patients in group 2 complained about blurred vision, ocular motility restriction, and infra orbital nerve paraesthesia. In group 2 patients there is significant changes in orbital volume postoperatively compared to group 1. More stable fracture reduction was noted in group 2. When compared to the group1 patients, 90% of the patients had substantial stability with a P-value of <0.05 being statistically significant.Open reduction and internal fixation of inferior orbital rim has better outcome postoperatively. Apart from the inconspicuous scar in the infra orbital region, the patient had better quality of life.

Oral mucosa is constantly subjected to various external and internal stimuli that leads to various reactive lesions. They are non-neoplastic in nature, but clinically these lesions closely mimic benign neoplastic lesions leading the clinician to misdiagnosis and sub-optimal treatment. Reactive lesions are typically occurring as a response to chronic inflammation caused by various forms of low-grade chronic irritations to the oral mucosa such as dental plaque and calculus, sharp edges of grossly carious teeth, faulty dental restorations, chronic biting habits, ill-fitting dental/oral appliances and food impactions. This review article summarizes the various reactive lesions of oral cavity and their distinctive histopathologic features.

A "branch or specialty of medicine & medical imaging that uses radionuclides and relies on the process of radioactive decay in the diagnosis and treatment of disease" is known as nuclear medicine. Assessing physiologic change, which follows biochemical changes, is made easier with the use of radionuclide imaging, which is sometimes referred to as a functional imaging approach. Scintigraphy is a diagnostic procedure used in nuclear medicine where radioisotopes are administered internally into the body in liquid or gaseous forms, and the distinctive radiation that emerges is captured by external detectors known as gamma cameras, producing two-dimensional pictures. Bone scintigraphy, lymphoscintigraphy, salivary gland scintigraphy, and radio-immuno-scintigraphy are a few examples of scintigraphy techniques.Nuclear imaging has the advantage of giving extremely high levels of diagnostic sensitivity, which is successful in identifying even the smallest pathophysiological changes that are highlighted in the process of diagnosing early-stage to progressive diseases, making it the preferred diagnostic modality.

This article explores the conundrum of biofilm formation in orthodontics, its impact on oral health, and the role of the bonding procedure. Biofilms are resilient structures formed through stages like attachment, adhesion, growth, and maturation, with the extracellular matrix (EPS) playing a vital role. The bonding procedure unintentionally creates surfaces where bacteria thrive, leading to biofilm development. Factors like oral hygiene, diet, and bracket design influence biofilm formation. Maintaining oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment can be challenging due to food trapping and cleaning difficulties. Strategies to minimize biofilms involve patient education, improved bonding techniques, and antimicrobial agents. Biofilms can lead to dental decay, gingivitis, periodontitis, and white spot lesions. Combating biofilms requires collaboration, patient education, and ongoing research. Improved management can lead to better oral health outcomes for orthodontic patients.

Lipomas are benign tumors, made up of mature adipocytes. They are slow in developing and there is no clear etiology. However, they are rare to occur in oral cavity and are usually present on the buccal mucosa of patients in their sixth to seventh decade. Although benign, their size can lead to functional and aesthetic problems. Therefore, it is important to differentiate an intraoral fibrolipoma from a mucocele, traumatic fibroma, pleomorphic adenoma, etc. for proper treatment and follow-up. Surgical excision is the treatment. Fibrolipoma may sometimes appear to infiltrate the adjacent tissues, which creates confusion in differential diagnosis. Hence, careful histopathological examination is mandatory and regular follow-ups.

Benign cementoblastoma is an infrequent tumor originating from odontogenic mesenchyme. It is distinguished by the presence of a mineralizing mass located at the apex of the tooth root. Adults and children are most commonly affected by this neoplasm. This case report presents of such a rare case of cementoblastoma in lower left molar region causing deflection of inferior alveolar nerve in a 10-year-old female patient presenting with extraoral swelling and complaining of pain in same region for which the patient had previously underwent excision of the tumor incompletely.

: Anterior mandibular fracture management is commonly dealt in oral and maxillofacial surgery and most accepted treatment modality is open reduction and internal fixation with miniplates. With ongoing research, various shapes of miniplates were tried for osteosynthesis and biomechanical properties tested in invitro studies, but they lack testing in clinical scenarios. The present study was conducted to compare clinically and radio graphically, the efficacy of double Y-shaped mini plate with two conventional 4 hole mini plates in management of anterior mandibular fractures. : Study consisted of 20 patients, 10 in each group with anterior mandibular fractures. 10 patients (group 1) were treated with double ‘Y’ shaped miniplate with bar and 10 patients (group 2) with conventional 4 hole two miniplates. Clinically post-operative Pain, edema, occlusion, neurosensory deficit and wound healing were assessed. Clinical evaluation was done at 1st postop day, 1st week, and 1st and 3rd month postoperatively. Radiographic evaluation was done to record fracture gap in both the groups and timing for plate adaptation and fixation was recorded intra-operatively. The data was recorded and statistical analysis was done.: Clinical and radiographic evaluation done for each group did not show any statistical difference at 3 months postoperatively. However significant difference was noted in time taken for adaptation and fixation of plates and screws. Double ‘Y’ shaped miniplate was found to be easier to place and required less time to adapt and fix to bone compared to 4-hole miniplates. The study concluded that the double ‘Y’ miniplate and conventional 4-hole miniplates are found to be equally effective for clinical use in treatment of anterior mandibular fractures. The double ‘Y’ miniplate were found to be superior in terms of handling characteristics, less hardware and better radiographic outcome when compared to conventional 4-hole miniplates.
:下颌骨前方骨折的治疗是口腔颌面外科的常见病，最常见的治疗方法是切开复位和使用小钢板内固定。随着研究的不断深入，人们尝试使用各种形状的小钢板进行骨合成，并在体外研究中对其生物力学特性进行了测试，但这些小钢板缺乏临床应用测试。本研究旨在比较双 Y 型微型钢板与两块传统的 4 孔微型钢板在治疗下颌骨前方骨折方面的临床疗效，并通过无线电图谱进行比较。 研究包括 20 名下颌骨前方骨折患者，每组 10 人。10 名患者（第 1 组）使用带横杆的双 "Y "形微型钢板治疗，10 名患者（第 2 组）使用传统的 4 孔双微型钢板治疗。临床上对术后疼痛、水肿、闭塞、神经感觉缺失和伤口愈合情况进行评估。临床评估在术后第 1 天、第 1 周、第 1 个月和第 3 个月进行。对两组患者的骨折间隙进行影像学评估，并在术中记录钢板适应和固定的时间。记录数据并进行统计分析：术后 3 个月时，各组的临床和放射学评估均未显示出任何统计学差异。然而，在钢板和螺钉的适应和固定时间上却有明显差异。与四孔小钢板相比，双 "Y "形小钢板更容易放置，适应和固定到骨头上所需的时间也更短。研究得出结论，双 "Y "型小钢板和传统的四孔小钢板在治疗下颌骨前方骨折的临床应用中同样有效。与传统的 4 孔微型钢板相比，双 "Y "型微型钢板在操作特性、硬件数量和放射成像效果方面更胜一筹。
