Surgical interventions in blow out fractures are generally indicated in cases of alterations in orbital function (e.g. diplopia) and for aesthetic reasons (e.g. enophthalmos). In assessing the severity of the injury, the clinician often uses parameters such as changes in visual acuity, patient-reported diplopia, changes in globe position and evaluation of the extraocular muscles in association with imaging exam...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the analgesic effect of laser therapy on healthy tissue of mice. STUDY DESIGN: Forty-five animals were divided in three groups of 15: A--infrared laser irradiation (830 nm, Kondortech, São Carlos, SP, Brazil); B--red laser irradiation (660 nm, Kondortech, São Carlos, SP, Brazil); C-- ham irradiation with laser unit off. After laser application, the mice remained immobilized for the inje...
The present research assessed the analgesic effect of the laser therapy in healthy tissues of 10 mice divided into two groups: – L: red laser irradiation (665 nm, 30 mW, 10 J/cm2, 334 s). – C: control laser irradiation (334 s). After laser therapy formalin solution was injected on the same paw, the animal was placed in a transparent box and observers recorded the paw rose time during 30 minutes. The...
This work proposes an alternative technique for zygomatic fractures contention. Steel wire cerclage supports an 1.5 Kirchner wire shaped in double U by cutaneous anchorage. This technique can be indicated in cases of closed reduction of zigomatic arch fractures without fixation that may loose reduction if not properly protected.
Chronic osteomyelitis of the mandible is usually a difficult pathology to resolve. Treatment has included long-term antibiotics, and surgical debridement, aggressive in some cases. This paper reports a 54-year-old female with an eight-month-mandibular chronic osteomyelitis who was successfully treated with the combination of medication and surgical intervention.
