Cleft lip and palate is one of the most common congenital craniofacial malformations. It is associated with various problems such as difficulty in sucking, nasal regurgitation, hearing and speech problems, etc. Feeding is of primary and immediate concern for the growth of infants. In this case report, a 3-month-old female child diagnosed with Veau's class II cleft reported with the difficulty in sucking of milk and nasal regurgitation while feeding. To overcome this problem, a feeding plate was fabricated with simple impression method, which helped the infant feed and restore the proper weight required for cleft palate reconstructive surgery.
A bstract Aim and objective The aim of this article is to report the treatment management of fracture mandible in pediatric patients by a simple, noninvasive, and conservative method. Treatment of a pediatric patient with a mandibular fracture is one of the most challenging jobs. In adults, the treatment of the mandibular fracture is a surgical intervention by open reduction and fixation but it is not usual in the case of children due to the anatomy of growing mandible and deciduous teeth, presence of underlying erupting permanent teeth, and incomplete ossification of jawbones. In pediatric patients, the main concern in the treatment of the mandibular fracture is the normal growth and development of mandibular bone. So, in this case series, the treatment of the children who got mandibular fracture were done by a simple, time saving and noninvasive procedure by the fabrication of open occlusal splint retained by circummandibular wiring which did not interfere with the growth and development of mandible.

Background: Successful implant treatment depends on precise planning. Information on the height, width, morphology, and density of alveolar bone surrounding the proposed implant site is very critical for determination of the size of the implant and angle of placement. The present study was conducted to assess anterior maxilla for dental implant placement. Materials & Methods: 45 patients of both genders requiring dental implant in maxillary anterior teeth underwent CBCT scan of anterior maxilla was done with Planmica CBCT machine. Parameters such as bone height, bone width, buccal undercut location and buccal undercut depth was measured. Results: The mean bone height in central incisor region was 18.26 mm, in lateral incisor region was 18.02 mm and in canine region was 23.14 mm. The mean bone width in central incisor region was 9.30 mm, in lateral incisor was 8.45 mm and in canine region was 9.81 mm. The mean buccal undercut location at central incisor was 5.72 mm, at lateral incisor was 3.42 mm and at canine was 5.14 mm.Buccal undercut depth at central incisor was 0.72 mm, at lateral incisor was 0.80 mm and at canine region was 0.71 mm. The difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:Canine region showed maximum bone height and bone width. Maximum buccal undercut was seen in central incisor region.
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.
