Influence of state anxiety and trate anxiety in postoperative in oral surgery
2014
Introduction: The aim of this article was to study the influence of anxiety (both state and trait) in postoperative recovery after extraction of third molar together, to establish the role of each of the aspects of anxiety in the results you obtained in an independent and complementary way. Material and Methods: We performed a prospective study of a consecutive series of 88 patients who underwent lower third molar extractions. Before being provided with any information about the operation, patients were asked to complete the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait and State. We have evaluated postoperative swelling and pain, patients completed a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS) at…
Effect of the suture technique on postoperative pain, swelling and trismus after removal of lower third molars: a randomized clinical trial
2015
Background: To evaluate the intensity of pain, swelling and trismus after the removal of impacted lower third molars comparing two different suture techniques of the triangular flap: the complete suture of the distal incision and relieving incision and the partial suture with only one suture knot for closure of the corner of the flap and the closure of the distal incision, without suturing the relieving incision. Material and Methods: A prospective, randomized, cross-over clinical trial was conducted in 40 patients aged from 18 to 45 years who underwent surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars at the Department of Oral Surgery in the Odontological Hospital of the University of Bar…
Biangular fractures of the mandible
2013
Summary Introduction Bifocal fractures of the mandible often associate the angle and condyle or symphysis. Little data is available on biangular fractures. The authors had for aim to study their characteristics and to suggest an adapted management. Material and methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients operated on for a biangular fracture from January 2005 to December 2009. The impact of a third molar was evaluated using Pell and Gregory's and Shiller's classifications. Results Six hundred and forty patients underwent surgery for a mandibular fracture, seven of whom (1.1%) for biangular fractures. The patients’ mean age was 27.6 years. Patients were predominantly men (85.7…
Complications in third molar removal: A retrospective study of 588 patients
2010
Objectives: Surgical removal of third molars is a regular surgical procedure, which like all operations, may have complications. The purpose of the study was to analyze the incidence of complications and their relationship with the surgical difficulty in a group of 588 patients treated by the same oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Study design: This retrospective cohort study consisted of 1699 third molars (M3) removed between 2005 and 2008. The teeth were grouped into a 6-class scale of surgical difficulty rated according to the surgical procedure description in the patient?s file: I: upper M3 requiring forceps only; II: upper M3 requiring osteotomy; III: upper M3 requiring osteotomy and too…
Compliance of postoperative instructions following the surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars: A randomized clinical trial
2015
Objectives: The understanding and adherence to postoperative care instructions are factors that influence the recuperation process after any surgical procedure. The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of patients who strictly follow the postoperative instructions after the extraction of an impacted lower third molar in relation to sociocultural level, preoperative anxiety scores and how postoperative information is provided to the patient. Study Design: Patients were randomly assigned to one of three different test groups according to how the postoperative instructions were presented: verbal, written and a group that received additional information. Before surgery, patients we…
What are the risk factors for postoperative infections of third molar extraction surgery: A retrospective clinical study-?
2018
Background This study aimed to identify (1) the predilection site of postoperative infection after third molar extraction surgery, (2) risk factors associated with postoperative infection, and (3) the cause of the difference between delayed- and early-onset infections. Material and Methods This retrospective study included 1010 patients (396 male, 614 female) who had ≥1 third molars extracted (2407; 812 maxilla, 1595 mandible). The risk factors were classified as attributes, general health, anatomic, and operative. Outcome variables were delayed- and early-onset infections. Results Postoperative infection was completely absent in the maxilla, and all infections occurred in the mandible, wit…
Mandibular Molar Root Resection Versus Implant Therapy: A Retrospective Nonrandomized Study
2009
AbstractSuccess rates for both periodontal and implant therapy are often dependent on site and tooth type. For periodontally involved mandibular molars, the decision to hemisect or to extract and place an implant is often complicated. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the outcomes of the aforementioned treatment modalities for mandibular molars in a private practice setting. A retrospective chart review was performed. In one group of patients (n = 32), 56 mandibular first or first and second molars were treated by hemisection (Group H). A second group (n = 28) received 36 implants in the mandible to replace periodontally involved first or first and second molars (Group I). Al…
Endonasal Approach for Nasal and Paranasal Sinus Tumor Removal
2001
Patients with benign (53) and malignant (22) tumors of the nose and paranasal sinuses were treated for tumor removal via an endonasal approach. Patient selection was based on tumor location (centrally) rather than histology. Tumors attainable by the endonasal approach were located in the nasal cavity, the ethmoid sinus, the sphenoid sinus and the medial wall of the maxillary sinus. Endonasal microscopic techniques including endonasal orbital decompression and endonasal closure of CSF-leaks were combined with surgical navigation tools in selected cases. Surgical trauma and morbidity could be minimized without compromising radicality of tumor removal. Postoperative hospitalization was compara…
[Conservative treatment of locally advanced bladder carcinoma: neoadjuvant chemotherapy, TUR and radiotherapy. Results in 40 patients]
1998
to assess the results of bladder preservation in infiltrating bladder cancer. The potential for neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by extensive TUR and radiotherapy was investigated in 40 patients with T2-T4a G2-G3 bladder carcinoma.from 1983 to 1995, 40 patients were submitted to bladder-sparing treatment consisting of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, extensive, TUR and radiotherapy. Most patients had T3G3 cancer. Cystectomy was not performed due to patient" choice in 29 cases (72.5%), for severe pulmonary or cardiovascular disease in disease in 9 patients (22.5) and age over 80 in 2 (5%) patients. A deep TUR-biopsy was performed before and after chemotherapy and an extensive TUR was repeated at t…
Short-Term Functional and Oncologic Outcomes of Nephron-Sparing Surgery for Renal Tumours ≥7cm
2011
Abstract Background Nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for renal tumours preserves renal function and has become the standard approach for small renal tumours. Little is known about perioperative and oncologic outcomes of patients following NSS in renal tumours ≥7cm in the presence of a healthy contralateral kidney. Objective To analyse oncologic outcomes and perioperative morbidity in patients treated by NSS for renal tumours ≥7cm. Design, setting, and participants In total, 5767 patients were treated for renal tumours at two institutions from 1984 to 2009. In 91 patients, elective NSS was performed for renal tumours ≥7cm. Measurements Complication rates were assessed in detail and stratified u…
