Peripheral trigeminal neuropathies are assessed by MR neurography for presurgical mapping. In this clinical report, we aimed to understand the utility of MR neurography following nerve-repair procedures. We hypothesized that postoperative MR neurography assists in determining nerve integrity, and worsening MR neurography findings will corroborate poor patient outcomes. Ten patients with peripheral trigeminal neuropathy were retrospectively identified after nerve-repair procedures, with postsurgical MR neurography performed from July 2015 to September 2023...

OBJECTIVES: Surgical intervention for removal of an impacted third molar can lead to significant pain and swelling. Corticosteroids show promise for mitigating postoperative sequelae across various surgical contexts. The use of corticosteroids following minor oral surgery, though controversial, has already been proven effective. However, little research has explored peroral prescription of corticosteroids despite its convenience for outpatients and for non-surgeons like implantologists and periodontists and others who don't have access to needle injections...

OBJECTIVE: Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive has been presented as an alternative to sutures and several studies have compared them. The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive on postoperative pain and swelling, following mandibular third molar surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Database search was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed and Scopus, along with extensive search in the grey literature, including randomized and non-randomized clinical trials that applied cyanoacrylate adhesive for closing mandibular third molar surgical sites and compared it with silk sutures, assessing postoperative pain and swelling...

Background: Alveolar osteitis (AO) or "dry socket" affects the quality of life of patients, and there is a high clinical demand for its effective treatment. Objective: To evaluate the effect of Er:YAG laser therapy (ErLT) on AO after mandibular third molar surgery. Methods: Eighty-three patients were randomly divided into Er ( n  = 43) and control groups ( n  = 40). In the Er group, the Er:YAG laser (2940 nm; AT Fidelis Fotona, Ljubljana, Slovenia) was used to irradiate the AO site directly in micro short-pulsed mode (pulse duration 0...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pain and swelling following third molar (M3) removal can be debilitating, and there is interest in using advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) to reduce their severity. PURPOSE: This study compared postoperative pain and swelling between A-PRF and gelatin dressing in extraction sockets following mandibular M3 removal. METHODS, SETTING, SAMPLE: This split-mouth, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial was completed at the Oral Surgery clinic of University of Otago between November 2020 and July 2021...

BACKGROUND: Impacted lower third molar surgeries involve trauma in a highly vascularized zone with loose connective tissue leading to inflammatory sequelae including postoperative pain, swelling, trismus and generalised oral dysfunction during the post-operative phase. In minor oral surgical procedures, an all-inclusive method to protract anaesthesia and reduce the inevitable post-operative sequelae is yet to be explored substantially. AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone added to local anaesthetics in extending the depth and duration of anaesthesia and decreasing the postoperative complications after surgical removal of impacted third molars...

UNLABELLED: The problem of antibiotic resistance is becoming increasingly serious worldwide due to uncontrolled prescription. Dentists are among the groups that prescribe the most antibiotics, often to delay urgent treatment. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the prescribing protocols adopted by dentists for prophylaxis and antibiotic therapy in major clinical surgical indications. METHODS: A ten-question survey was administered to a group of Italian dentists...

BACKGROUND: The removal of the lower third molar is a routine procedure in oral surgery, yet it often leads to postoperative side effects, particularly inflammation. Despite various interventions explored in prior studies, there is still a need for effective strategies, such as anti-inflammatory substances, to address postoperative side effects. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to answer the following clinical question: Does the local injection of 0.9 M mannitol reduce postoperative pain, trismus, and swelling in patients undergoing bilateral symmetrically impacted mandibular third molar extraction? STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE: This prospective, single-blind, split-mouth study at Hamadan Dental School involved 30 patients with bilateral symmetrically impacted mandibular third molars...

Experimental maxillofacial surgery is commonly performed in pigs; however, locoregional anesthesia of this area has not been described. This study evaluated the feasibility of a novel maxillary nerve block approach. In part I, cadavers were used to determine anatomic landmarks and assess maxillary nerve dye staining by using 0.03 mL kg-1 of a 1:10 mixture of commercial food dye and 0.5% bupivacaine. In part II, 10 additional pig cadavers underwent bilateral ultrasound-guided maxillary nerve blocks by using trans-infraorbital canal needle placement...

Introduction Facial asymmetry influences aesthetics and can involve either hard or soft tissues or both. Underlying skeletal asymmetry can be compensated by differential expression of soft tissue thickness on either side. Orthognathic surgical planning needs to take the interaction between the hard and soft tissues into account. The aim of this study was to assess the bilateral thickness of hard tissues and the corresponding facial soft tissue in asymmetric subjects to assess the compensation using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging...

BACKGROUND: The removal of third molars (3Ms) is the most frequent surgical procedure in the field of Oral Surgery. As a result, the Spanish Society of Oral Surgery (SECIB) aims to create a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) that offers evidence-based recommendations for optimal clinical practice. Specifically, the CPG will focus on providing guidance regarding the indications and criteria for clinical and radiological diagnosis of patients with 3Ms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This CPG was developed by the SECIB, following the methodological guidelines described in the methodological manual for the "Development of Clinical Practice Guidelines in the National Health System"...

This article presents the third molar removal in a highly hypnotizable patient, who had been successfully submitted to oral surgery with hypnosis as stand-alone anesthesia in previous sessions. Unexpectedly, hypnosis initially failed, as a result of a nocebo response due to a previous dentist's bad communication; two complaints made by the patient were associated with increased sympathetic activity (as defined by increased heart rate and electrodermal activity and decreased heart rate variability). After deepening of hypnosis, the patient achieved a full hypnotic analgesia allowing for a successful conclusion of the intervention, an event associated with decreased heart rate, electrodermal activity, and increased heart rate variability...

INTRODUCTION: After third molars, canines are the teeth most commonly affected by displacement and impaction. Although orthodontic surgical treatment represents the standard method for realignment of canines, autotransplantation (autoTX) functions as the second-line therapy if orthodontic alignment does not succeed in treating impaction and severe displacement. This retrospective cohort study aimed to identify clinical predictors for postoperative survival and endodontic treatment needs after autoTX of severely displaced and impacted canines...
