BACKGROUND
Patients with solitary-type congenital tragal malformations accompanied by dystopic cartilage growth (accessory tragus) show not only a disfigured or absent tragus but also unnecessary tragal or pretragal lumps. Furthermore, an absent tragus causes a wholly exposed external auditory
Accessory tragus (AT) also referred as preauricular tag is a rudimentary tag of ear tissue This paper presents two specific cases: one hereditary and another sporadic case of AT. A general clinical description of AT, its associated syndromes, embryology aetiopathogenesis and management is discussed.
Many methods have been used to establish the occlusal plane in complete denture prosthodontics. However, no single method seems to be fully accepted. Anteriorly, esthetic considerations help define the occlusal plane, and posteriorly the tongue, retromolar pad, and Stenson's duct are considered.
The creation of a high-defining tragus and antitragus complex remains a demanding challenge during staged lobule-type microtia reconstruction. The success of the complex carving relies greatly on proper operation of the cartilage, which is commonly residual cartilage of various sizes. The facial nerve (CN VII) is an anatomically intricate structure with its branches serving several physiological functions. CN VII innervates the muscles of facial expression which are crucial for eye protection, oral competence, and social interaction. The temporal branch, clinically BACKGROUND
Correct orientation of the occlusal plane plays a vital role in achieving optimal aesthetics, occlusal balance and function of complete dentures. The use of ala tragus line for determination of occlusal plane has been a topic of debate over past many years. Also, the effect of age on
The aim of this study was to evaluate and report a modified tragus edge approach (MTEA) for surgical access to mid-level or low condylar fractures. The MTEA was used on 45 patients (59 sides). All of the patients were reviewed for scarring, parotid fistula, facial nerve function, occlusion,
BACKGROUND
Congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) has an increasing risk of malignancy and may cause cosmetic and psychological problems. Surgery has been the main therapy for most cases. However, it is often not suitable for all lesions. Treatment of these lesions can be challenging to plastic
