Teeth loss can be devastating to patients affecting them both physically and psychologically.

Loss of teeth hampers general health due to inefficient food intake and also leads to low self esteem due to change of appearance after teeth loss .

Dental implant rehabilitation is the only known treatment for missing teeth that can satisfy all the essential qualities of a prosthetic : that is SAFETY , FUNCTION & AESTHETICS !!

Anterior parotid approach or mini parotid approach is a novel technique to treat condylar fractures of Mandible .
This is a case of delayed presentation of fracture with a history of RTA 25 days back with severe trismus ( difficulty to open mouth ) and malocclusion.
After a week of conservative management with exercises and muscle relaxants with no improvement Patient was counselled to undergo surgery by open reduction and fixation of the fracture .
Personally feel this approach is versatile to treat most fractures of condyles .
Here I present the sequence to show this minimally invasive technique which utilises a small 2.5 cm incision with minimum scar and great access to give very satisfactory mouth opening and occlusion.

Ameloblastoma s are rare tumours that grow in the jaws .
Though they are benign in nature they tend to destroy a significant part of the jaws .

These tumours need early intervention which can include local curettage , en block resections , marginal resections or hemi-mandibulectomies followed by reconstruction of jaws by bone grafts .

Here I present a case of of right posterior mandible that was operated by block resection and reconstructed using bone harvested from the hip ( anterior iliac crest ) .

Surgical success is always about teamwork .
For me it’s all about our surgical assistants , our scrub nurses , our Anestheists and last but not the least our theatre support workers .

The surgeon alone will be crippled with out his team ..

“To be great, a surgeon must have a fierce determination to be the leader in his field.
He must have a driving ego, a hunger beyond money.
He must have a passion for perfectionism.
He is like the actor who wants his name in lights.”

Following up on the post of the geriatric mandible fracture .

Birds eye view of what we see when we operate .

It’s not always open skin put plate and screw and come out .

Note the amount of time it takes to fix just a small plate and two screws which sometimes take repeated reassessing and readjusting .
Art of surgery takes constant learning and relearning and years of practice and dedication to get proficient.

Geriatric Maxillofacial injuries .

This is the Oldest patient I have personally treated under general Anesthesia and pleased to have made a full recovery !!!

Some of the hardest surgeries to preform are that involving the extremes of ages !!!

I am presenting a case of a 96 year old gentlemen with senile dementia who had fractured his mandible by alleged fall from his bed .

The patient unfortunately presented with completely edentulous jaw (teeth less) with no prior use of dentures Which made gunning splints or other closed reduction not a viable option in this case .

Note - Open reduction was planned with minimum stripping of periosteum with small incisions to maintain the blood supply attempting the so called “supraperiosteal / mucosal fixation !!!
