Introduction Orthognathic surgery involves making several osteotomies that lead to varying degrees of post-operative swelling. The use of KT may be beneficial for postoperative treatment after head and neck surgery, accelerating drainage of tissue reaction or haemorrhages. The goal of this study was to find out if the application of KT prevents or improves swelling, pain and trismus after orthognathic surgery, improving patients' postoperative quality of life. Materials and Methods In this double-blinded, randomized, control trial, 24 patients in whom bimaxillary orthognathic surgery was indicated, were included. Before surgery each patient alternatively was randomly included in the study group (treated with K-Taping Ò and corticosteroid) or in the control group (treated with corticosteroid). In the present study a MakerBot Ò Digitizer 3D TM was used to assess accurate volume measurements. All swelling measurements were expressed as total 3-D area of the landmarks (cm 2 ) in T0 pre-operative, T1 fourth day after surgery. Results The differences T0-T1 are highly significant (p \ 0.01) between group 1 or study group (treated with K-taping Ò ) and group 2 (control group). Discussion The use of KT appears promising, because it is simple to carry out, less traumatic, economical, can be performed everywhere in the world, free from side effects on the body. Even when swelling persists, KT gives patients the impression of a minor swelling detracting them from their pain and morbidity. Further studies have to be performed to find out if KT can reduce or replace the need for additional medications such as the use of steroids.

Background The maxillofacial skeleton is commonly fractured due to its prominent position. The pattern of maxillofacial fractures varies from one country to another. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the patterns of maxillofacial injuries in the state of Goa and compare the results with similar studies in India and rest of the world. Patients and Methods The data were collected from the records of the patients who reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Goa Dental College and Hospital between 2005 and 2010. The site of fracture, age of patient, etiology of trauma, daily and monthly variation of the fractures was analysed. Results Records of 2,731 patients sustaining maxillofacial injury were examined. The most commonly fractured facial bone was the mandible followed by zygomaticomaxillary complex. Most fractures occurred in the third and fourth decade of life with male and female ratio of 6:1. Main etiology was road traffic accidents. Conclusion Despite strict traffic legislation, road traffic accidents are the main cause of maxillofacial injuries.

“…7,8 In a large epidemiologic study, Gassner et al, 9 however, found a similar distribution among the mandible, maxilla, and non-tooth-bearing regions in 3,578 patients. Andreasen 10 described in detail how the association between facial and dentoalveolar injuries depends on the collision energy, direction, and resistance of the tissue protecting the involved teeth.…”
