Enhancing Perturbation Concept regarding Open-Shell Molecules through Self-Consistency.
To evaluate effect of mandibular advancement on pharyngeal airway space using lateral cephalogram.

Twenty patients who were diagnosed with class II skeletal malocclusion and underwent surgical intervention for the correction of their dentofacial deformity following orthodontic treatment were included. The soft tissue changes in the pharyngeal space were brought about by the surgical intervention, and the changes that had occurred in increasing the airway were evaluated by using cephalogram.

The results of this study showed that following mandibular advancement surgery, the pharyngeal airway space increased along with an increase in the length and thickness of the uvula with a reduction in the angulation. All the changes remained stable in the late postoperative phase.

Patients who underwent mandibular advancement showed a significant increase in the pharyngeal airway space and that remained stable during the evaluation period. As a consequence, mandibular advancement seems to be the most stable surgical movement in relation to airway dimensional gains.

In recent era of computer and software technology, it is necessary to introduce software which helps in routine assessment of surgical procedures practiced in oral surgery. Removal of impacted third molar is a common procedure. It is hard to evaluate factors that complicate removal of impacted third molars because of the large variation among patients and the difficulty in creating a study design. In this article, we have described about our newly designed software developed in order to assess the difficulty in extracting impacted mandibular third molars accurately, thereby reducing the bias faced during the assessment of difficulty in removing impacted mandibular third molar.

A software is designed using C# computer language and Windows Presentation Foundation Framework.

The measurements and angulations are accurately calculated by this software which helps to bring about uniformity in results, thus minimizing the bias during clinical as well as study purposes.

Mandibular third molar difficulty level calculator can be useful software for dental practitioners in day-to-day practice. Dental students and professionals should be made aware of this software so as to utilize it to the utmost possible level.

Reconstructive surgeries following fractures in the maxillofacial region often involve considerable bone manipulation, and paracetamol is a commonly used analgesic medication in both intraoperative and postoperative periods. Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist, has both sedative and analgesic properties with minimal cardiorespiratory effects and has been used primarily for its sedative properties in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

To compare the intraoperative analgesic requirements among patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery who receive IV paracetamol versus IV dexmedetomidine. The time to requirement for the first postoperative analgesic dose and safety and adverse events of both medications were also assessed.

In total, 64 patients needing primary reconstructive surgery for facial fractures were recruited and divided into two groups for this double-blinded study. Patients were randomized to receive a preinduction dose of either IV paracetamol 1g (Group P) or IV dexmedetomidith groups, the time to request for the first analgesic dose in the postoperative period was significantly delayed in Group P (
< 0.05). No adverse cardiopulmonary events were observed in either group.

The intraoperative anesthetic and analgesic requirements and hemodynamic stability were comparable in IV paracetamol and dexmedetomidine groups. Dexmedetomidine did not confer any enhanced analgesia effect in the postoperative period. More research examining the role of dexmedetomidine for longer duration inpatient oral and maxillofacial surgery is needed.

There are scarcely any reported cases of unilateral dislocation in the literature. Hence, its etiology, a possible mechanism of injury, clinical features, and effective management strategies are yet to be described.

A 27-year-old male patient presented with the dilemma of unilateral dislocation of left TMJ. This was addressed by the use of a novel technique in dislocation management. Here, the author also proposes a modified classification system for the TMJ dislocation.

"Wagh-Kokane's" technique of manual reduction should be encouraged in complex cases of dislocation.

Since the advent of rigid fixation, there has been a paradigm shift in the management of condylar fractures from closed treatment options to open reduction and rigid internal fixation.

Sixty-eight cases of condylar fractures reporting to Vydehi Institute of Dental Sciences, Bangalore, between 2009 and 2018 were reviewed in terms of age, sex, type of fracture, position of the mandibular third molar and the treatment rendered.

The majority of the patients were males (60). There was an involvement of the right side in 34, left in 21 and bilateral involvement in 13 cases. Forty-three of the fractures were subcondylar, and 25 were intracapsular. Significantly in most cases, the mandibular third molar was either fully erupted (42) or missing (12). Sixty-one cases were subjected to surgical management including 49 cases of rigid internal fixation, and 12 of the intracapsular fractures had the condylar stump/segment removed. Only seven cases were not treated surgically. Most of the cases (44) were in the age group of 21-40, 12 were in the age group of 41-60, 9 were in the age group of 1-20, and 3 patients were above 60.
