1/14. Epidural hematoma after minor oral trauma.A case report was presented in which a 15-year-old boy was beaten about the head with a baseball bat. Intraoral trauma and facial lacerations were repaired. Since results of the neurological examination were within normal limits, the patient was discharged. The next day, the patient became lethargic; however, the patient's mother did not bring the patient back to the hospital until the routine postoperative visit. At that time, the patient had right hemiparesis, was unable to speak, and was clearly obtunded. A carotid angiogram disclosed a left venous epidural hematoma in the parietal area. A craniotomy was performed with good results. The importance of follow-up neurologic examinations in cases of trauma to the face and head is stressed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = laceration, trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/14. Bonded arch bars to manage traumatic injuries to the teeth and alveolar bone.A simple, rapid, painless, and bloodless method of successfully treating avulsed and partially avulsed teeth with or without associated dentoalveolar fractures is presented for management by the general practitioner in the office. It is a bonding technique with the key elements being a prefabricated malleable mesh backed arch bar in combination with any light curing composite procedure that is standard in the individual's office.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.48419713978573keywords = trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/14. A two-probe laser Doppler flowmetry assessment as an exclusive diagnostic device in a long-term follow-up of traumatised teeth: a case report.The reliability of laser Doppler flowmetry in a two-probe assessment of pulpal blood flow is well known. The purpose of this case report was to determine its use as an exclusive and reliable tool for tooth vitality diagnosis in a long-term follow-up. As a result of a traumatic injury to a 24-year-old Caucasian female, tooth pulp vitality was studied in six maxillary front teeth over 30 weeks using two-probe laser Doppler flowmetry and current sensitivity tests. A similar assessment was repeated after 228 weeks. Confronted with an alveolar bone fracture with a tooth in the fracture line, one intrusion and several luxated teeth, current sensitivity tests are found not to be as reliable indicators of revascularisation, as significant results are obtained later (7 weeks) than using laser Doppler flowmetry tests (1 week). A pathway with ischaemia (3 weeks), hyperaemia (7 weeks) and restored blood supply in the pulp measured by laser Doppler flowmetry tests was found and avoided endodontic treatment. Teeth vascularisation evolved normally (228 weeks). Despite a strong indication in all sensitivity tests for endodontic treatment, the use of laser Doppler flowmetry tests was clear, more reliable than sensitivity tests and exclusive, as denervation was postponed and pulp vascularisation evident.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5273957961563keywords = injury, trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/14. An unusual fatal injury due to tyre burst: a case report.A 20 year-old male driver of a heavy duty crane, employed in an industry located in an industrial area on the outskirts of Delhi was fatally injured while repositioning an ill-fitted locking rim of a crane tyre (Fig. 1). The inner tube of the crane tyre had accidentally burst, dislodging the loose iron-locking rim, which hit the individual with a great force resulting in multiple injuries. He died on his way to the hospital.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.6885974856964keywords = injury (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/14. A new prospect on the approach to open, complex, craniofacial trauma.Complex craniofacial trauma has been traditionally managed in three stages: urgent craniotomy, secondary orbitofacial repair and delayed cranioplasty. Departing from this conventional approach, we employ an early single-stage neuro and plastic-surgical reconstruction for patients presenting open cranial wounds of the frontobasilar region coexisting with orbitofacial fractures. Neurological outcome does not seem to be affected by the additional operating time, nor is the incidence of infection raised, although bone fragments are repositioned, primary bone grafting is employed, and metallic material is used for fixation. Adequate direct exposure followed by reduction and rigid internal fixation results in primary bone healing and permits to avoid the difficult complications related to soft tissue contracture over misaligned bone. Compared with the conventional staged approach, immediate reconstruction appears functionally and aesthetically preferable, as well as technically easier.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.60524642473216keywords = trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/14. Nutrition intervention in general dentistry.This article presents a nutrition program in general dentistry following an oral health nutrition care process, and provides a guideline for identifying patients at risk of developing marginal malnutrition as a result of oral health procedures. The program highlights the importance of assessing nutritional status by segregating high-risk patients from low-risk patients. A case report demonstrates the therapeutic dietary management of a patient whose jaws were immobilized as a result of trauma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.12104928494643keywords = trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/14. Embolization of traumatic aneurysm of the maxillary artery.An expanding false aneurysm in the infratemporal fossa followed this patient's complicated jaw fracture. Successful Gelfoam embolization of the maxillary artery has controlled haemorrhage, treated the aneurysm, and avoided the hazards of local operative intervention. The technique of embolization has a place in the management of various difficult vascular problems.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.48419713978573keywords = trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/14. Use of a miniplate to provide intermaxillary fixation in the edentulous patient.A case of severe facial trauma is presented. The fractures were stabilized using wire osteosynthesis and miniplates. Since no dentures were available intermaxillary fixation was achieved with a miniplate from the upper to the lower jaw, which resulted in a very satisfactory stabilization.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.12104928494643keywords = trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
