Pedicled Osseous Reconstruction of Orbital Floor Defects Post-Total Maxillectomy
ConclusionCoronoid-temporalis flap is a viable option for orbital reconstruction in post ablative defects of maxillectomy involving the floor. The flap acts as an excellent adjunct to other local flaps, free flap, or obturators utilized for maxillary reconstruction. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Preservation of Palatal Mucosa in Rhinomaxillary Mucormycosis Cases
ConclusionThis study concludes that in most circumstances, employing a PM flap to close the defect after maxillectomy and surgical debridement is a successful approach as it reduces the occurrence of oro-antral/oro-nasal communication. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Evaluating the Success of Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap in Mandibular Reconstructions in Relation to Defect Localization
ConclusionIn comparison with class I and II, Class III defects involving the anterior mandible were found to have a higher rate of complications. This difference in clinical outcome is thought to be associated with decreased flap vascularity stemming from the arc of rotation. Utilizing free flaps will provide a better clinical outcome in aforementioned defects; thus, in Class III defects, PMMF should be preferred when free flaps are contraindicated or as a salvage flap.

Ultrasonography as a Diagnostic Tool for Superficial Space Infections: A Prospective Study
ConclusionUltrasonography (USG) is a valuable diagnostic tool for superficial space infections. It is much superior in defining the exact location of an abscess and guides the surgical approach by locating the abscess cavities. It avoids traditional open surgical incision and drainage in incorrectly diagnosed abscess cases and can be used to follow the course of the disease and its response to nonsurgical treatment.

Does Tranexamic Acid Reduce the Need for Hypotensive Anesthesia Within Orthognathic Surgery? A Retrospective Study
AbstractBackgroundTranexamic acid (TXA) is utilized frequently in orthognathic surgery to limit blood loss and improve surgical field visualization. This antifibrinolytic has been proven effective with use of concomitant hypotensive anesthesia. Despite proven efficacy, there is a recent push to avoid perioperative hypotensive anesthesia due to risks of organ hypoperfusion, cardiac ischemia and postoperative nausea.AimsThe aim is to study the efficacy and safety of utilizing TXA without controlled hypotensive anesthesia.MethodsThe authors identified two cohorts of subjects that underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery bot...

Maxillary Bone Microstructure After Lateral Sinus Flour Augmentation with Deproteinized Bovine Bone Material in Severe Alveolar Bone Atrophy: Comparative Micro-CT Study
ConclusionMaxillary sinus floor elevation with DBB alone is a strategy, providing an appropriate 3-D architecture of the newly formed bone tissue and adequate primary stability of the dental implants. The biological properties and long-term remodeling of the augmented bone in patients of this category requires the further investigation. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Evaluation of Analgesic Efficacy of Dexmedetomidine as an Adjuvant to Local Anaesthesia in Maxillofacial Soft Tissue Injuries: A Prospective Randomised Clinical Trial
ConclusionDexmedetomidine effectively suppresses the hemodynamic stress response during minor surgical procedures. We conclude that dexmedetomidine is an effective medication to be used in the emergency room for day-care procedures, as a potent analgesic, anxiolytic providing hemodynamically stable patients, with minimal side effects. We summarise that considering the above properties of dexmedetomidine can be incorporated into ERAS (early return after surgery) protocol, making it an optimal drug of choice as an alternative to moderate sedative drugs, in managing soft tissue injuries of maxillofacial region.
