SummaryA prospective study was made of 17 dogs with ununited anconeal process treated by osteotomy of the proximal ulna. The effect of the surgery on lameness was evaluated subjectively and the elbows were assessed radiographically for evidence of anconeal fusion and healing of the osteotomy. Whilst clinical outcome was generally good and complications infrequent, relatively few cases achieved anconeal fusion. These results do not compare well with the results of a previous study but this disparity may be due in part to differences in patient population and radiographic evaluation.Further work is required to establish how best to achieve predictable anconeal fusion.Proximal ulnar osteotomy was used to treat 17 dogs with ununited anconeal process. Clinical results were good but anconeal fusion was not achieved consistently. Further work is needed to determine how best to achieve predictable anconeal fusion.

Introduction: Local Anaesthesia (LA) is the mainstay of any routine dental extraction. Accomplishing optimum anaesthesia with least pain and anxiety to patients is a challenge. Hence, modification of technique and application of routine dental LA to enhance patient comfort is the need of the hour. In this pursuit, a prospective cohort study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of greater palatine nerve block as an alternative to nasopalatine nerve block in anaesthetising the anterior palatal mucosa and to achieve optimum palatal anaesthesia. Aim: The primary outcome variable is to assess the extent of the anaesthetic effect of greater palatine nerve block in maxillary anterior palatal region. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients scheduled for the extraction of ipsilateral anterior and posterior maxillary teeth were included in this prospective study between June 2017 to June 2019. Palatal anaesthesia for all the extractions done was achieved only with greater palatine nerve block. After an interval of five minutes, the extent of palatal anaesthesia from the posterior palatal tissue to the anterior region was evaluated for both subjective and objective symptoms. Pain on the palatal mucosa was assessed using Numerical rating scale of 0-10. Post-evaluation, depending on the proposed tooth of extraction, buccal anaesthesia was achieved with Posterior superior alveolar nerve block for posterior teeth and infraorbital nerve block for anterior teeth. Results: Of the 100 patients administered with greater palatine nerve block, it was observed that in 36 patients (36%) had effectiveness in anaesthesia till central incisor, 28 (28%) patients had effectiveness in anaesthesia till lateral incisor, 20 (20%) patients had effective in anaesthesia till the canine and 16 (16%) patients anaesthetic effects were limited to posterior teeth. Overall, 84% had varied degree of positive anterior anaesthesia with greater palatine nerve block alone. Conclusion: Greater palatine nerve block was effective in providing anaesthesia to the posterior region till the premolars, with the extended complete anaesthesia in the anterior region with similar action as the nasopalatine nerve block administered to anaesthetise the anterior palate for extraction of the anterior teeth.

Some authors have recommended that implant-supported single crowns should only contact during heavy clenching. However, a lack of occlusal contact with moderate clenching may cause supra-eruption of antagonist natural teeth. The main objective of this study was to assess changes in the occlusal contacts of posterior implant-supported single crowns with natural antagonist teeth two years after placement. The occlusal schemes of 14 patients who received 16 implant-supported single crowns in molar and premolar regions were assessed in this prospective study. Just after crown placement, at 6 months and after 2 years a silicone maxillomandibular relationship and T-scan records were obtained during the intercuspal position with light and heavy clenching, determined using near half of the maximum force and maximum force respectively. Occlusal contacts were assessed quantitatively and qualitatively in the implant-supported single crowns, contralateral tooth and adjacent tooth; the latter two were used as controls. After six months and two years, no significant variations were observed in any region of the occlusal scheme in any assessments, including silicone record or T-Scan, using light or heavy clenching, and qualitative or quantitative occlusal contact assessment. In this preliminary study, the occlusal scheme did not vary at the intercuspal position two years after placing posterior implant-supported single crowns.

There are no clearly defined guidelines for when an open or closed treatment is indicated for treatment of mandibular condylar fractures. The aim of the study is to analyze the mandibular function after nonsurgical treatment of unilateral subcondylar fractures, in a prospective study. A prospective study was conducted on 30 patients with unilateral mandibular subcondylar fracture undergoing nonsurgical treatment. Clinical and radiographic examinations were done prior to treatment and at 12-month follow-up. Pain, perceived occlusion, mouth opening, protrusion, and horizontal movements of the mandible were evaluated by clinical examination. Radiologic evaluation was done using Panoramic and Reverse Towne's radiographs. At 12-month follow-up, there was minimal pain in the temporomandibular joint region, there was an improvement in the perceived occlusion, and mouth opening did not reduce. There was insignificant absolute difference between left and right lateral mandibular movements. The amount of increase in the protrusion of mandible was insignificant. On radiographic evaluation, the degree of coronal and sagittal displacement was insignificant at follow-up. Mean ramus height pretreatment and 12 months posttreatment were 0.98 ± 0.50 and 0.87 ± 0.47, respectively. Based on this study, patients had adequate mandibular function and minimal pain after nonsurgical treatment. Unilateral subcondylar fractures of the mandible can be treated nonsurgically in patients with minimal occlusal discrepancies, adequate mouth opening, minimal displacement of condyle, and minimal ramus height shortening.

The purpose of this 5-year study (2002-2007) was to evaluate 90 cases of dentigerous cysts that were identified in a private dental office in terms of distribution by region (maxillary-anterior region, mandibular), age, sex, and surgical removal technique chosen. We also compared the 45 cases where PRGF was applied after cyst extirpation with the other 45 cases that were allowed to heal periosteum. We noticed that in cases where the PRGF clot was applied in the cystic geography, bone regrowth was achieved much faster.
