Abstract Background The apparent interactions between the mechanisms of action non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) and steroids suggest that co-therapy may provide beneficial inflammatory pain relief in absence side effects. aim study was to compare effect co-administered dexamethasone diclofenac potassium (diclofenac K) with K alone on postoperative pain, swelling trismus after surgical removal third molars. Patients Methods A prospective randomized double-blind conducted at...
Postoperative mobidity following third molar surgery is affected by a number of factors. The study these factors essential for effective planning and limitation morbidity. aim this was to determine the effect age, type impaction operative time on immediate postoperative tissue reactions mandibular surgery. Consecutive patients with impacted teeth were studied. All molars classified according Winter's classification. Surgical extraction performed all single surgeon under local anaesthesia....
To investigate the correlations among various temporomandibular joint (TMJ) findings on MRI and relationships between symptoms.425 patients (850 TMJs) with disorders (TMDs) who underwent were enrolled. Oblique sagittal proton density-weighted T2 weighted images in open- closed-mouth positions evaluated. included disc configuration, position, condylar morphology, bone marrow pattern, effusion. Symptoms TMJ pain, noise, limitation of mouth opening. For statistical analyses, Spearman's rank...
Fibrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of mesenchymal cell origin that characterized by fibroblasts embedded in collagen matrix. Infantile fibrosarcoma variant usually occurs infants and young children. tumor, forming <1% all childhood tumors, the most common soft tissue sarcoma children aged 1 year. It can occur any part body, but it head neck region. The treatment surgery with adjuvant or neoadjuvant modality. has very good prognosis higher than 80%. We report case left maxillary...
Objective . The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence tonsiliths in patients attending oral and maxillofacial radiology clinic University Iowa if there is any correlation between presence stones other body tissues, ducts, or organs. Study Design This a two-part study. first part whereas second matched pair case-control commenced after concluded. No new unusual radiographs were made only reviewed that for clinical purposes. Results A total 1524 pantomographs 124 subjects (53...
Nigeria is often conveniently described along geographical lines as North and South, each with its peculiar culture, predominant religion, distinctive determinants of health. Available oral health information for derived from studies that have mainly been conducted in southern Nigeria. This study describes care-seeking behavior northern by analyzing the attendance pattern at a tertiary hospital over period. Clinic records patients who visited Oral Diagnostic Sciences (ODS) clinic Aminu Kano...
Background: We herein described a rare case of schwannoma the hypoglossal nerve in submandibular region with diagnostic imaging and histopathological findings. Case Report: A 31-years-old woman has had palpable firm, rubbery, freely mobile mass region. Of imaging, MR images showed homogeneous isointensity on T1-weighted (T1-WI), heterogeneous hypointensity T2-WI, hyperintensity short T1 inversion recovery (STIR), enhancement contrast-enhanced T1-WI. clear capsule was observed margin...
Background : Traditional healers/herbalists remain one of the most accessible and popular options care to people suffering from cancers particularly at community level in Nigeria. The majority patients with oral cancer present terminal stage after exploring unorthodox care. This study assesses awareness among traditional caregivers Kano State, Northwestern (NW) Methods Self-administered, structured questionnaires were administered a cross section 21 caregivers. Results Of studied, (66.7%)...
Patients who experience pain, swelling, and trismus after third-molar extraction are reported to a 3-fold higher rate of adverse effects (AEs) on quality life compared with those asymptomatic this surgery. Therefore, investigators emphasize the necessity for better control triad sequelae. Steroids can reduce risk physiologic processes inflammation, thereby suppressing development inflammation. The aim study was compare dexamethasone 8 mg IM diclofenac potassium (K) 50 PO, acetaminophen 1000...
Diffusion kurtosis (DK) imaging (DKI), a type of restricted diffusion-weighted imaging, has been reported to be useful for tumor diagnoses in clinical studies. We developed software program simultaneously create DK images with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps and conducted an initial study. Multi-shot echo-planar were obtained at b-values 0, 400, 800 sec/mm2 simple DKI, created the ADC map. The usefulness image map was evaluated using pixel analysis all pixels median each case....
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is superior to computed tomography (CT) in determining changes tissue structure, such as those observed following inflammation and infection. However, when metal implants or other objects are present, MRI exhibits more distortion artifacts compared with CT, which hinders the accurate measurement of implants. A limited number reports have examined whether novel sequence, multiacquisition variable-resonance image combination selective (MAVRIC SL), can...
The present study aimed to investigate whether polyethylene glycol (PEG) phantoms have the potential be used as standard for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in order visualize restricted diffusion kurtosis (DKI), ADC subtraction method (ASM) and apparent coefficient (ADC). Diffusion‑weighted images of 0‑120 mM PEG were captured create ADC, DKI ASM with post‑processing. is a recently developed using readout segmentation long variable echo‑train sequences. As concentration increases, value...
A collision tumor refers to the coexistence of two diagnostically distinct tumors in a common anatomic space. Collision are rare oral and maxillofacial region. The present study reported on case an 82-year-old female with maxillary sinus consisting small cell carcinoma (SmCC) squamous (SCC). Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed mass right sinus. lesion exhibited heterogeneous low signal intensity (SI) T1-weighted (T1WI), high SI short T1 inversion recovery solid enhancement...
Clinical research using restricted diffusion-weighted imaging, especially diffusion kurtosis (DK) has been progressing, with reports on its effectiveness in the diagnostic imaging of cerebral infarctions, neurodegenerative diseases, and tumors, among others. However, application DK daily clinical practice not spread because long time required use specific software for image creation. Herein, aim promoting at any medical facility, we evaluated fast a new program. We developed macro program...
