“…Thus, some factors can be raised in order to explain the data found in this work.

Background: Technological advancement has also allowed dentistry to obtain new materials and techniques, as well as more predictable results in dental treatment. However, there are still many flaws related to the technique and choice of materials by dentists. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate through panoramic radiographs failures in dental treatment.Methods: 1250 panoramic radiographs were selected and evaluated by an experienced specialist, 609 of which had one or more iatrogenic Results: 48.72% of the radiographs analyzed showed some failure in dental treatment that focused on the age group of 31-50 years.Conclusion: Thus, it is necessary that dentists are attentive to the detection and correction of iatrogenesis, seeking a better quality of life for patients.

“…Lacrimal duct and sac injury may also occur, and the infra-orbital nerve is damaged in up to 80%, causing cheek anaesthesia. 18 Le Fort III fracture, or the 'craniofacial dissociation', results in complete separation of the facial skeleton from the skull base. 10 The fracture line begins medially at the naso-frontal suture and medial orbital wall, similar to Le Fort II pattern, but then runs horizontally across the orbital floor, inferior orbital fissure and the pterygoid plates, as well as laterally towards the lateral orbital wall, separating the zygomaticofrontal suture.…”

Craniofacial trauma is common following road-traffic accidents, assaults and falls and may occur in isolation or associated with other body injuries. Due to the complexity of the maxillofacial and skull-base region, initial diagnosis may be inaccurate or delayed, leading to significant morbidity. Multidetector computed tomography is the modality of choice following high-energy blunt or penetrating trauma. It allows accurate evaluation of the fracture patterns and associated soft tissue complications and aids the appropriate medical and surgical treatment. In this article, we review and classify the most common traumatic injuries to the maxillofacial and skull-base region and outline the role of imaging in establishing complications and prognosis.
“…1,2 Historically, the composition of pediatric cases to the total incidence of facial fractures has been reported to be between 1% and 15%. 8,13,14 In addition to the low rate of occurrence, the pediatric population also presents unique challenges to restoring appropriate form and function after an injury to the mandible. The mandible is the most commonly injured structure, accounting for an estimated 20% to 50% of all pediatric facial fractures.…”
The proper management of complex pediatric mandibular fractures remains a topic of debate because of the relatively uncommon presentation of these fractures, combined with concerns related with deciduous teeth, tooth buds, and growth inhibition. In this current study, we present a novel approach to the repair of bilateral condylar fractures with concomitant symphyseal fracture in a 4-year-old girl. Manual closed reduction was first obtained, followed by placement of a transfacial Steinman pin through the angles of the mandible and placement of circummandibular wires. Maxillomandibular fixation remained for 2 weeks and the Steinman pin was removed after 11 weeks. At 3 months of postsurgical follow-up, the patient displayed class I occlusion, facial symmetry, full range of jaw motion, and absence of deviation or pain on full oral excursion. Radiographic findings also revealed complete resolution of the symphyseal fracture with appropriate condylar healing and alignment.
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.
