About 89.1% of dentist knew the cause of traumatic neuroma. Damage to the mental nerve during mental nerve block is most commonly encountered during tooth extraction4,administering local anaesthesia ,placement of implants5,ill fitting denture6,ramus split surgery7,parotidectomy8 etc. Traumatic neruoma according to the author W.B Neville9 described that it was not a true neoplasm. Traumatic neuroma is often neglected unless the patient reports back with symptoms in the region of treatment. Not all local anaesthetic injections lead to traumatic neuroma or other complications but around 85.1% of the dentist in chennai faced complications10 like Hematoma,nerve damage ,allergic reactions etc. According to the survey most of the dentists faced complications while administering inferior alveolar nerve block11 as it is the most common block administered followed by greater palatine nerve block12 ,incisive13 and mental nerve …show more content…

    Oral upkeep and the quality of one’s character are considered to go hand in hand, and it is crucial enough to sit through painful surgery without anesthetics for probably hours. I believe it has become such a sacred feat simply because of the foundations of the Nacirema’s belief system.

Symptoms include sensioneural hearing loss (SNHL), tinnitus, aural fullness, and dizziness.1 Pneumolabyrinth can result from a temporal bone fracture, luxation of the stapes into the

  • Bone Graft Case Study

    954 Words  | 4 Pages

    If a craniotomy has already been performed, the inner cortex can be harvested from the bone flap and used in the reconstruction, leaving the outer cortex to be placed back in its original position. This technique maintains the contour of the calvarium. If large quantities of bone are needed, bicortical grafts may be harvested, followed by splitting of the two cortices to double the surface of the graft. It is obvious that harvesting a bicortical calvarial graft would have the most complications hazard. Complications of calvarial grafts include surface deformity at the donor and/or recipient site and graft fracture during harvest.

    The L5-S1 interspace was identified under fluoroscopy, the skin overlying the interspace was sterilized and infiltrated with 2 – 3 mL of local anesthetic (lidocaine 2%), a 20-gauge, 15 cm needle with a 30° short bevel (Chiba needle) was inserted perpendicular to the skin at the center of the L5-S1 intrelaminar space under anteroposterior fluoroscopic vision. Under lateral fluoroscopic control, the needle was then advanced towards the intervertebral disc so that it penetrated the thecal sac. After confirming the avoidance of nerve injury by the absence of paresthesia, the tip of the needle was advanced through the intervertebral disc until it exited at its anterior surface. Correct positioning was confirmed by administration of 4 mL of soluble contrast medium in both lateral and antero-posterior fluoroscopic
