Background and objectives: Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe and very aggressive form of head and neck infection, which represents a real danger for the patient’s life. In this study, we…
Objectives: This retrospective study aims at analyzing the aetiology, pattern and management of odontogenic maxillofacial infections (OMI) presenting at the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre. Methods: A random selection of 72…
Background: Dentinogenic ghost cell tumours (DGCTs) are a rare subset of the odontogenic tumours. These DGCTs are described as ‘locally invasive neoplasms characterized by ameloblastoma-like islands of epithelial cells in…
BFP is special source of tissue for oral defect because of its location, rich vascularization and stem cells. Surgical anatomy and various applications of BFP flap for reconstruction of soft…
Background: Maternal oral infection has been associated with preeclampsia. This study was done to explore this association. Methods: Forty preeclamptic women and 40 normotensive pregnant women, both having oral infection,…
Writing a paper for publication in peer review journals is a challenging endeavour that requires patience and experience. This lecture will present some practical hints as to how to write…
