Introduction: Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) is one of the maxillofacial bone fracture treatment procedures. Post-surgical pain is generally assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Objective: To obtain information about pain characteristics in post-ORIF patients based on NRS. Methods: This study is an observational study with a retrospective descriptive approach. The research was conducted at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital (RSHS) Bandung in January 2018 - December 2019 based on medical record data. The data collected included age, gender, fracture area, diagnosis, duration of surgery, number of plates and screws, pre-surgical and post-surgical pain based on NRS, pain intensity measured every 8 hours postoperatively for 24 hours. Results: In this study, 65 medical records were obtained. The most frequent characteristics of the subjects were young adults aged 17-30 years (56.92%) and males (86.15%). The most frequent fracture locations were the mandible area (48.67%) and the most frequently performed surgery was at the mandibular area (60.46%). Regarding the duration of the surgery, most of the surgeries lasted for 61-120 minutes (32.30%) with the most used plates were plates (1-10 holes) and plates (11-20) holes, both having the same percentage (38.46%), and the most frequently used screw was screw (1-10) (49.23%). The most frequently used analgesics was Ketorolac (87.69%) and The NRS pain scale for ORIF was a mild type of surgery with an NRS scale of 1-3. The mean of pre-ORIF surgery patients showed a mild pain intensity with a percentage of 92.30% and postoperatively resulted in mild pain with a percentage of 95.38%. Conclusion: Characteristics of pain based on NRS in maxillofacial trauma patients treated with ORIF indicate mild pain and could be the result of the influence of analgesic drugs or subjective assessments, therefore, further research is needed to obtain a more precise assessment of the pain.
Objectives: To view a case report of mandibular ossifying fibroma (OF) in pediatric male. Case Report: A 12 year old child came to RSHS with a panoramic radiograph with the chief complaint of swelling in the right mandible. Panoramic radiograph shows well-defined mixed lesions with radiolucent content and snowflake-like opaque. MDCT shows a superior-inferior and bucco-lingual extension of the lesion. The suspicion of this case leads to Ossifying Fibroma with differential diagnosis of Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT) and Calcifiying Ephitelial Odontogenic Tumor (CEOT). Conclusion: OF cases in children, especially mandibular, are very rare, where the characteristics of the lesion can be well defined through the help of panoramic radiographs and MDCT. OF is a lesion that has benign characteristics with well-defined borders, and the most important lies in the presence of wrapping capsules and mixed internal structures accompanied by snowflake-like calcification.
Introduction: Soft tissue trauma is common in the head and neck, limited to superficial structures or involving deeper anatomical structures. Various types of trauma occur depending on the aetiology and mechanism. Managing oral and maxillofacial soft tissue trauma poses a challenge for surgeons due to the importance of facial esthetics. The purpose of this case report is to report and discuss the emergency management of soft tissue injuries in the maxillofacial region due to physical trauma. Case report: Three cases with diagnoses of abrasive wounds, lacerations, and punctum wounds on the lips, cheeks, eyebrows, chin, and oral cavity were encountered at the emergency department of Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung City, due to a motor accident. Treatment includes debridement, reconstruction, and wound closure. Conclusion: Emergency treatment of soft tissue wounds in the maxillofacial area that is fast and according to the procedure will reduce infection and dehiscence.

Introduction: Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a rare, locally invasive, fast-growing neoplasm with a high recurrence rate, which usually affecting children under 1 year of age. The tumor originated from the neural crest, most commonly found in the head and neck region, especially in the maxilla. Current standard for treatment is by surgical excision, but the high recurrency rate (10% - 60%) and the possiblity of malignant transformation makes the extent of excision debatable. Case report: An 8 -months-old boy was referred to our department with a rapidly growing mass in the anterior of the maxilla since two months prior. The mass was bluish in color, firm, and non-ulcerative. We treated the patient with excision under general anesthesia. Pathology examination was done and MNTI was confirmed. There is no recurrency at 2 years follow-up. Summary: Diagnosis and treatment of MNTI must be done meticulously due to the aggressive nature of the tumor. Wide surgical excision is the best treatment for this case, and routine follow-up must be done to detect any reccurency. Keywords: melanotic neuroectodermal tumor; infancy; maxilla, surgical excision
