Oral surgery.

An overview of the various possibilities for oral surgery urgent care to the oral region has been presented. Modern treatment procedures have been described. The recent advances in dental science have become superior to what they were just a few short years ago; however, we must never forget the variabilities of human responses to any of our treatment techniques, and we must not be dogmatic in our approach. We should all be able to diagnose, interpret, and alter any of our treatment techniques as necessary.

Hereditary angioedema controlled with danazol. Report of a case.

Hereditary angioedema is a condition which should be approached with caution and concern for the patient. The fact that the disease can be fatal cannot be overemphasized. The routine medical history should include questions aimed at identifying these patients. If the angioedema patient is to be treated, provisions must be made for maintenance of an adequate airway. This should include intubation if deemed necessary, and the practitioner should be prepared for a tracheostomy. Close observation following extubation is indicated. A case report in which the patient was controlled with danazol, a synthetic androgen, has been presented. The primary advantage of this drug is a decrease in the various side effects which have been associated with other therapeutic agents used previously in the treatment of hereditary angioedema.

Combined surgical procedures to correct facial deformities.

Combined maxillary-mandibular surgical procedures to correct facial deformities raise problems not usually seem when correction is limited to one arch. When multiple procedures are contemplated, it is easy to lose the relationship of theocclusion to the proposed facial contour. Model surgery is the key to determining the correct surgical site. Conflicting requirements of staging, flap design, and fixation often arise. Six maxillary-mandibular combined correction procedures that required exact diagnosis and careful planning have been presented. Explanning have been presented. Excellent long-term results were gained in each case.

A stent for a split-thickness skin graft vestibuloplasty.

Accepting the requirement that there must be intimate contact between a split-thickness skin graft and the underlying periosteum in a vestibuloplasty, a method of forming a stent to meet this.criterion is presented. The procedure uses an overextended impression and a custom-made acrylic resin base. Two methods of modifying the base with a secondary impression to form a stent at the time of the operation are described.
