We report a case of junctional rhythm that occurred both preoperatively and later during a portion of general anesthesia. A 19-year-old woman was scheduled to undergo bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy after being diagnosed with a jaw deformity. Preoperative electrocardiography (ECG) revealed a junctional rhythm with a slow heart rate (HR). At 90 minutes after anesthesia induction, local anesthesia with 10 mL of 1% lidocaine and 1:100,000 adrenaline was administered. A junctional rhythm appeared 15 minutes after the local anesthesia. We believe that the atrioventricular nodal pacemaker cells accelerated because of the increased sympathetic activity due to the adrenaline. On the preoperative ECG, the junctional rhythm with slow HR appeared as an escaped beat caused by slowing of the primary pacemaker. Therefore, we think that the preoperative junctional rhythm and the junctional rhythm that appeared during general anesthesia were due to different causes. Understanding the cause of a junctional rhythm could lead to more appropriate treatment. We therefore believe that identifying the cause of the junctional rhythm is important in anesthetic management.

Abstract Background: Although anesthesia can contribute to olfactory dysfunction, it is a rare complication after oral and maxillofacial surgery by general anesthesia.Cases presentation: In this study, we introduced 3 cases of patient suffering from anosmia (complete loss of smell), after oral and maxillofacial surgery by general anesthesia. We also investigated possible etiologies of anosmia. Conclusions: There are some evidences that anosmia is caused by nasotracheal intubation, which may cause OM injury and/or swing of the nasal septum in patients with nasal septum deviation. Olfactory dysfunction via general anesthetic drugs, however, may have a different etiology.

Additive manufacturing technology or 3-dimensional printing has been used since ages in various fields including medical. Their addition to dentistry is recent and has tried to revolutionize the field. It is being used in various fields of dentistry like endodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and recently in periodontics and Implantology. With introduction of recent “layer-by-layer” additive technology, their use in periodontal field has changed its treatment planning. It is use in preparation of customized scaffold with or without stem cell therapy, ridge augmentation, sinus lift and guided implant surgery, implant fixtures, education models, drug technology and many more. This review has tried to explain the various applications of the additive manufacturing in the field of periodontics with recent evidences. This paper highlights the role of 3-dimensional printing which can change the future of periodontal management.

The pathology of the oro-maxilo-facial territory comprises a vast chapter of diseases with primary or secondary infectious etiology, the mouth being the natural cavity of the organism with the most varied and variable flora of bacterial contamination. By the continuity solutions created by the mechanical act of mastication, decubitus of defective prosthetic works, local dento-periodontal infectious processes, but especially of dental or small-scale interventions, open gates and possibilities of penetration into the blood circulation of the microorganisms, which cause the transient bacteria. The study included 243 randomly selected patients, with the address of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic in the period 2016-2018. The inoculation of microorganisms in the oral cavity in circulating blood as a result of oral surgery or dental care procedures is much more common than in other areas of the body. Aggressive dental maneuvers that create solutions of continuity of oral mucosa, gingiva, periodontal surgery, periodontal surgery techniques can cause bacteria.
