Among trauma cases, maxillofacial injuries have a very high incidence. Data suggests that the leading causes of maxillofacial fractures in developed countries are falling and insult, on the other hand road traffic accidents is the main reason in case of developing nations. For mandibular or midface fractures, various treatment modalities can be employed. One of them is closed reduction via intermaxillary fixation (IMF). Materials and Methods:This study was conducted in the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, from 1st July 2020 to 30 th September 2021. This study comprised patients of all ages and both. All patients were aged 15-50 years and had a BMI of 18-30 kg/m 2 . We included only the patients whom undergone 4 weeks of IMF and excluded patients who had any systemic problems such as diabetes, kidney or heart diseases. Results: A total of 80 patients were included in this study (56 male and 24 female) with an age average of 28 years. In this study, the mean of TC of patients at the start point of the study was 157.6mg/dl which ended up 149. mg/dl after the 4 weeks of IMF period .The HDL of the serum of the patients before the treatment had a mean of 54.1 mg/dl. After the IMF period, the mean decreased about 1.1 mg/dl and reached 53.0. The average of LDL was 86.4 mg/dl, which also decreased during the IMF period about 3.3 mg/dl and reached 83.1 mg/dl. Conclusion:We could show according to patients lipid indexes treatment with IMF can result in decrease in total cholesterol levels as the diet is restricted.
Radiographs are one of the most important diagnostic tools in diagnosing and treatment planning of the patient along with the clinical examination of the patient for a dental disease. There are different imaging techniques used in oral and maxillofacial surgery which are having their own significance. Normal routine diagnostic approaches used in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as in other specialty of the dentistry are normal intra oral peri apical radiography, OPG and radio visiography. Apart from these techniques some advanced techniques can also be employed in the diagnosis and treatment planning of the dental patient, techniques such as cone beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging etc. All these techniques are having their own significance of use.
Platelet rich fibrin contains various growth factors with in it and it is composed of fibrin matrix. Platelet rich fibrin is a concentrate of platelets of the second generation. Platelet rich fibrin helps in reducing the process of inflammation and enhance the healing process. An ideal environment is provided by platelet rich fibrin for the process of wound healing as well as regeneration of the tissue, as they combine the properties of fibrant sealant along with the properties of the growth factors in it. Platelet rich plasma has some advantages as it is derived more easily and with economical method of preparation along with it, it also eliminates the requirement of any exogenous compound for e.g. bovine thrombin or calcium chloride during the process of fabrication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
