“…However, for promotion of mandibular growth, it is difficult to administer sufficient micro-vibration from the skin surface. The deep-reaching effect of LIPUS has been demonstrated in the orthopedic field, where LIPUS administered at the skin surface has been shown to promote healing of bone fractures (8). In the orthodontic field, Okşayan et al (9,10) have reported that the use of a bite-jumping appliance can stimulate condylar growth and increase sagittal mandibular advancement in growing rats.…”

This study examined the effects of a bite-jumping appliance combined with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulation on the mandibular condyle of growing rats using micro CT (mCT) and histological examinations. Twelve Wistar rats were divided into three groups of four individuals each: Group 1 was an untreated control group, Group 2 received bite-jumping appliances, and Group 3 received bite-jumping appliances and LIPUS stimulation (15 min/day, 2 weeks) to the temporomandibular region. We measured the length and three-dimensional bone volume of each rat's mandibular condyle using mCT. The condylar cartilage was observed after the rats had been sacrificed. There was no significant difference in condylar sagittal width among the groups. The bite-jumping appliance combined with LIPUS stimulation increased the condylar major axis, mandibular sagittal length and condylar bone volume to a greater degree than use of the bite-jumping appliance alone. Histological examination demonstrated hypertrophy of the condylar cartilage layers, the fibrous layer and hypertrophic cell layer of the rats treated with bite-jumping appliances combined with LIPUS stimulation in comparison to rats treated with bite-jumping appliances alone.

“…About 5%-10% of fractures lead to delayed union (even nonunion) and require corrective secondary surgery because of the impairments in healing process 2,3 . Various physical and biologic methods are developed for enhancing fracture healing including, laser, direct current, microcurrent, ultrasound, electrical magnetic field, and capacitive coupled electrical stimulation [4][5][6] . Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a form of ultrasound that transmitted into connective tissues as an acoustic wave.…”

PURPOSE:To investigate the accelerating effects of low-intensity pulse ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) on the fracture healing of distal radius. METHODS:A total of 81 patients with distal radius fracture were randomly divided into two groups: the ultrasound treatment group and the control group. Patients in the ultrasound treatment group were immobilized in a below-elbow cast and received LIPUS treatment 15 min/day, while the control group were immobilized by a plaster support and cast. The patients were followed up every week and took X-ray films. The initial and healed X-ray films and the gray value of fracture site were analyzed by Photoshop software. The effect of reposition was evaluated based upon Steward recommended by Dienst, combining with Aro's measuring method. RESULTS:Clinical fracture healing time in ultrasound group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (32.04 ± 2.58d vs.40.75 ± 5.12d, p <0.01). In addition, the grey value changes of fracture sites of the ultrasound group were much higher than that of the control group. The reposition effects of fracture healing had no difference between the two groups (p >0.05). CONCLUSION:Low-intensity pulse ultrasound stimulation could accelerate fracture healing of the distal radius and promote local bone formation.

“…It requires sequential slices from superior to inferior margin with the probe moving along skin on each side of distracter allowing proper visualization of distraction gap, there by detecting fluid within the distraction gap signifies lack of formation of bridging bone indicates infection and non union within the wound [18]. The first clinical observation that US stimulate fracture healing was reported as early as 1953 by Corradi and Cozzolino [19]. Although some researchers have employed ultrasonography and Power Doppler to assess the appearance and neo-vascularization of the callus tissue during healing, the majority of the studies have utilized quantitative ultrasound techniques [20].…”

Maxillofacial surgery, like any other surgical specialty is greatly dependent on the discipline of radiology. This poses a greater challenge because of the complex anatomy of this region. Various investigation modalities have been applied in diagnosing various diseases which are found in the maxillofacial region, including IOPA, PET, USG, CT, MRI and panoramic radiographs. Of these, USG can easily diagnose non invasive and soft tissue diseases. It is very useful in diagnosing the diseases which are not usually evident on a conventional radiograph. However; many of the dentists are not aware of the benefits of USG in diagnosis of oral diseases. In this article, the use of ultrasound in diagnosing the various pathologies of maxillofacial region is elaborated.
