    • <p>Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder characterized by sudden, severe, electric shock - like facial pain. This case report presents a 60-year-old male with classical TN affecting the left maxillary division. The patient had a history of multiple dental extractions without pain relief. Diagnosis was made clinically an d confirmed with diagnostic nerve blocks. Management included pharmacotherapy followed by peripheral neurectomy of the infraorbital nerve, resulting in significant pain relief. This case highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of TN to avoid unnecessary dental procedures.</p>

    • <p>Introduction: Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) is a widely used technique in the treatment of facial skeletal fractures. Traditional approaches, such as Erich&rsquo;s arch bar and Ivy eyelet wiring, are commonly utilized; however, they present certain limitations. A recent modification of the conventional Erich&rsquo;s arch bar (CEAB) involves creating perforations between the winglets and securing it with 1 mm screws. This modified screw-retained arch bar (SRAB) has been introduced as an intraoral method for managing mandibular fractures. The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness, benefits, drawbacks, clinical indications, and possible complications of CEAB and modified SRAB in treating mandibular fractures.</p>

Treatment Approaches for Oroantral Fistula: Two Case Studies

Dr. Ankita Raj, Dr. Akash Tiwari, Dr. Ankur Rathaur

  • Pages: 1-8
    • <p>Oroantral communication refers to an abnormal opening between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus 1 . When this opening does not close on its own, it can persist and become lined with epithelium, resulting in the formation of an oroantral fistula2 . This condition is frequently seen after extraction of maxillary premolars and molars due to the close anatomical relationship between their root apices and the maxillary sinus3 . The clinical presentation of an oroantral fistula can range from passage of fluids between the mouth and nose to pain, discharge of pus, changes in voice, and even involvement of multiple sinuses4 . Various surgical techniques are available for its treatment, among which the buccal fat pad method is considered both reliable and effective5 . This article presents two successful cases of oroantral fistula that were treated using the buccal fat pad approach.</p>
