Orbital abscess after facial trauma

This paper reports a rare case of acute severe orbital abscess manifested 2 days after a facial trauma without bone fracture in a 20-year-old Afro-American female. The symptoms worsened within the 24 h prior to hospital admission resulting in visual disturbances such as diplopia and photophobia. The clinical findings at the first consultation included fever, periorbital swelling and redness, ptosis, proptosis and limitation of ocular movements upwards, downwards, to the right and to the left. Computed tomography scan showed proptosis with considerable soft tissue swelling on the left side and no fracture was evidenced in the facial skeleton, including the zygomatic-orbital complex. After hospital admission and antibiotic therapy intravenously the patient was conducted to the operation room and submitted to incision and drainage under general anesthesia. The orbit was approached thorough both eyelids and the maxillary sinus was reached only through the Caldwell-Luc approach. The postoperative period was uneventful and the rapid improvement of symptoms was remarkable. Visual acuity and ocular motility returned to the normal ranges within 2 days after the surgical intervention. After 12 postoperative days, the patient presented with significative improvement in the ptosis and proptosis, and acceptable scars.

Orthodontic-surgical treatment of class III malocclusion with mandibular asymmetry

Class III skeletal malocclusion may present several etiologies, among which maxillary deficiency is the most frequent. Bone discrepancy may have an unfavorable impact on esthetics, which is frequently aggravated by the presence of accentuated facial asymmetries. This type of malocclusion is usually treated with association of Orthodontics and orthognathic surgery for correction of occlusion and facial esthetics. This report presents the treatment of a patient aged 15 years and 1 month with Class III skeletal malocclusion, having narrow maxilla, posterior open bite on the left side, anterior crossbite and unilateral posterior crossbite, accentuated negative dentoalveolar discrepancy in the maxillary arch, and maxillary and mandibular midline shift. Clinical examination also revealed maxillary hypoplasia, increased lower one third of the face, concave bone and facial profiles and facial asymmetry with mandibular deviation to the left side. The treatment was performed in three phases: presurgical orthodontic preparation, orthognathic surgery and orthodontic finishing. In reviewing the patient's final records, the major goals set at the beginning of treatment were successfully achieved, providing the patient with adequate masticatory function and pleasant facial esthetics.

T-Bar clasp-retained removable partial denture as an alternative to implant-based prosthetic treatment

This article reports the case of a 55-year-old female patient who presented with unsatisfactory temporary crowns in the right mandibular premolars and molars, and a premolar-to-molar fixed partial denture in the left side. The clinical and radiographic examinations revealed a fracture of the left first premolar that was a retainer of the fixed partial denture and required extraction. Initially, the acrylic resin crowns were replaced by new ones, and a provisional RPD was made using acrylic resin and orthodontic wire clasps to resolve the problem arising from the loss of the fixed partial denture. Considering the patient's high esthetic demands, the treatment options for the definitive prosthetic treatment were discussed with her and rehabilitation with implant-supported dentures was proposed because the clinical conditions of the residual alveolar ridge were suitable for implant installation, and the patient's general health was excellent. However, the patient did not agree because she knew of a failed case of implant-retained denture in a diabetic individual and was concerned. The patient was fully informed that implant installation was the best indication for her case, but the arguments were not sufficient to change her decision. The treatment possibilities were presented and the patient opted for a clasp-retained removable partial denture (RPD) associated with the placement of crowns in the pillar teeth. The temporary RPD was replaced by the definitive RPD constructed subsequently. Although RPD was not the first choice, satisfactory esthetic and functional outcomes were achieved, overcaming the patient's expectations. This case report illustrates that the dentist must be prepared to deal with situations where, for reasons that cannot be managed, the patient does not accept the treatment considered as the most indicated for his/her case. Alternatives must be proposed and the functional and esthetic requirements must be fulfilled in the best possible manner.

Alterações dimensionais do côndilo mandibular em indivíduos de 3 a 20 anos de idade usando tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico: um estudo preliminar

INTRODUÇÃO: o exame de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) oferece excelente representação dos tecidos duros da articulação temporomandibular (ATM). OBJETIVO: investigar as alterações morfológicas do côndilo mandibular, da infância à idade adulta, utilizando a TCFC. MÉTODOS: um estudo transversal foi conduzido envolvendo 36 côndilos de 18 indivíduos com idades variando entre 3 e 20 anos. As imagens dos côndilos foram obtidas por meio do sistema i-CAT e medidas com uma ferramenta do programa específica para ATM, que permite cortes perpendiculares à cabeça do côndilo, com correção individual em função das diferenças angulares de cada um. As maiores distâncias nas vistas lateral e frontal foram consideradas tanto para os côndilos do lado direto como para os do lado esquerdo. RESULTADOS: a dimensão lateral do côndilo mandibular parece ser estabelecida de maneira precoce, sofrendo poucas alterações com o passar dos anos, enquanto a dimensão frontal tende a aumentar. Assimetrias entre o côndilo esquerdo e o direito foram comumente observadas; no entanto, tais diferenças não apresentaram significância estatística para as vistas lateral (P=0,815) e frontal (P=0,374). CONCLUSÕES: os côndilos apresentaram simetria com relação ao tamanho, sendo observado crescimento apenas na dimensão frontal Os resultados sugerem que a TCFC constitui-se numa ferramenta útil na mensuração e avaliação das dimensões condilares.
