颧上颌复合体骨折的诊断与治疗

颧上颌复合体是面部最突出的部位之一,由于其解剖部位的特殊性,颧上颌复合体骨折在面中部骨折中占有相当大的比例。骨折后不仅引起局部凹陷畸形,甚至导致开口受限、复视等功能障碍。作者结合文献复习和临床经验,对颧上颌复合体骨折的原因、临床表现、治疗方法、手术入路和术后并发症等进行了讨论。认为眉侧切口联合口内切口入路,可以避免冠状切口的种种弊端。此法可在直视下开放复位,较好地暴露颧骨、上颌骨连接处及眶下区骨折,切断颧骨咬肌附丽,松解颧骨骨折块,再进行内固定,效果良好。手术后瘢痕小,面神经功能无损伤,外形及功能恢复良好,值得推广。     

Healing of 400 intra-alveolar root fractures. 1. Effect of pre-injury and injury factors such as sex, age, stage of root development, fracture type, location of fracture and severity of dislocation

Abstract – This retrospective study consisted of 400 root‐fractured, splinted or non‐splinted incisors in young individuals aged 7–17 years (mean = 11.5 ± 2.7 SD) who were treated in the period 1959–1995 at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Eastman Dental Institute, Stockholm. Four hundred of these root fractures were diagnosed at the time of injury; and 344 teeth were splinted with either cap‐splints, orthodontic appliances, bonded metal wires, proximal bonding with composite resin or bonding with a Kevlar^® or glass fiber splint. In 56 teeth, no splinting was carried out for various reasons. In the present study, only pre‐injury and injury factors were analyzed. In a second study, treatment variables will be analyzed. The average observation period was 3.1 years ± 2.6 SD. The clinical and radiographic findings showed that 120 teeth out of 400 teeth (30%) had healed by hard tissue fusion of the fragments. Interposition of periodontal ligament (PDL) and bone between fragments was found in 22 teeth (5%), whereas interposition of PDL alone was found in 170 teeth (43%). Finally, non‐healing, with pulp necrosis and inflammatory changes between fragments, was seen in 88 teeth (22%). In a univariate and multivariate stratified analysis, a series of clinical factors were analyzed for their relation to the healing outcome with respect to pulp healing vs. pulp necrosis and type of healing (hard tissue vs. interposition of bone and/or PDL or pulp necrosis). Young age, immature root formation and positive pulp sensibility at the time of injury were found to be significantly and positively related to both pulpal healing and hard tissue repair of the fracture. The same applied to concussion or subluxation (i.e. no displacement) of the coronal fragment compared to extrusion or lateral luxation (i.e. displacement). Furthermore, no mobility vs. mobility of the coronal fragment. Healing was progressively worsened with increased millimeter diastasis between fragments. Sex was a significant factor, as girls showed more frequent hard tissue healing than boys. This relationship could possibly be explained by the fact that girls experienced trauma at an earlier age (i.e. with more immature root formation) and their traumas were of a less severe nature. Thus, the pre‐injury or injury factors which had the greatest influence upon healing (i.e. whether hard tissue fusion or pulp necrosis) were: age, stage of root development (i.e. the size of the pulpal lumen at the fracture site) and mobility of the coronal fragment, dislocation of the coronal fragment and diastasis between fragments (i.e. rupture or stretching of the pulp at the fracture site).

A systematic approach to preventing intracanal breakage of endodontic files

Abstract This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a method to prevent intracanal breakage of endodontic files. An application schedule with a predetermined number of periods of use for K-files of all sizes was implemented at the author's clinic for a 3-year period. All the files used under this schedule were discarded after the predetermined periods of use, whether they displayed any deformity or not. During the 3-year period, 1933 files (53.7 per month) were discarded after preparation of 3269 root canals. There were 5 file fractures (0.1 per month) compared with 1.4 fractures per month before the adaption of this system. The monthly average of files discarded during the 3-year research period was 53.7. Before the adoption of the trial system, the monthly average of discarded files was 76.5. It is concluded that the experimental system effectively reduced the incidence of intracanal instrument fractures and the total number of files consumed.     

Root Fractures in permanent teeth: a clinical review

A retrospective study of 22 root fractures in 21 patients was performed. Ten patients were less than 11 years of age, and boys were involved more often than girls. Ten patients had more than one injured tooth, but there was no case of alveolar fracture. Twenty-one of the teeth were upper central incisors. Only 11 teeth were seen within the first week, so that not all teeth were splinted and not all displaced teeth were repositioned. Long-term clinical and radiographic review showed that loss of vitality of the coronal pulp could not be reliably detected for at least 1 year. No tooth became abscessed or developed a sinus tract, and resorption of bone at the fracture line was observed in only one out of five non-vital teeth. Lack of displacement and placing of a splint increased the chances of the pulp remaining vital and healing of the fracture occurring with hard tissue. Sclerosis of the coronal pulp occurred mainly when healing was by connective tissue. The apical pulp always remained vital, and there was sclerosis of the apical pulp in almost every case.

Traumatic dental injuries in a cohort of 16-year-olds in northern Sweden

Abstract The prevalence and yearly incidence of traumatic tooth injury between 1 and 16 years of age were studied in a cohort of 16 year-olds, born in 1975, and residing in the County of Västerbotten, northern Sweden. The study comprised 3007 dental records from the public denial health service. The general distribution was 50.3% girls and 49.7% boys. The records showed that 35% of the children on one or more occasions had sustained injury to their primary or permanent dentition. The frequency was nearly twice as high for boys (64%) as for girls (36%). Twenty-five percent of the 16-year-olds had met with tooth injury more than once and this group consisted predominantly of boys. The incidence of injury episodes to primary and permanent teeth was 28 per 1000 per year. The boys had sustained trauma to their teeth most frequently when they were 4 years of age and between the ages of 8 and 11. This was also true for girls at 4 and at 9 years of age, although less evidently so. In the primary dentition, the majority of dental injuries had affected the supporting tissue of the maxillary incisors. In the permanent dentition, 75% of the traumatised teeth were upper incisors. Fractures of varying severity constituted 60% of all registered diagnoses in this dentition, followed by subluxation (19%) and concussion (11%).     

Clinical and epidemiological study of traumatic root fractures

Abstract    The aim of this work was to study the prevalence and clinical presentation of root fractures in a series of patients with dental trauma. Treatment strategies were classified and outcomes after a 6-month period presented. The study population comprised 76 patients (between the ages of 2 and 55 years) with 93 root fractures in their teeth (18 primary, 75 permanent). Data were collected following the taking of a detailed clinical history, objective clinical examination and photographic and radiological investigation. Since most of the primary teeth were extracted, only cases with root fracture of permanent teeth were followed-up: in all, 24 patients with 31 teeth with root fractures. The prevalence of root fractures in permanent teeth was 7.7% of all injuries, while in primary teeth it was 3.8%. The most frequently involved teeth were the maxillary incisors with a percentage of 75% in permanent teeth. Moreover, 40% of root fractures in permanent teeth were associated with fracture of the alveolar bone and of the soft tissues and in 45% of cases, the adjacent teeth were also injured. The results of this study reaffirm the necessity for scrupulous diagnosis of teeth after a traumatic injury. Adjacent teeth and those in the opposing arch should not be ignored. Treatment is multi-disciplinary, requiring surgical, orthodontic, operative and prosthetic compliance. Periodic check-up is essential.
