Perthes disease (PD) is an idiopathic disorder presenting with avascular necrosis to the femoral head, which frequently results in flattening. Long-term function is directly related to the subsequent femoral head sphericity. Current treatment includes mechanical modalities and surgical
The aims of this study were: (1) to demonstrate how reproducible variations in incomplete anesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve can be used as a guide to locate the etiologic sites of referred trigeminal pain emanating from the mandible; (2) to describe the salient histopathologic features of a
Orofacial pain often causes special difficulties to patients and dentists. Numerous differential diagnoses require the utilization of a coordinated diagnostic concept. Often, multiple causes lead to the need for a complex treatment plan. Impacted third molars are a potential cause of a variety of
The whisker pad area (WP) is innervated by the second branch of the trigeminal nerve and experiences allodynia and hyperalgesia following transection of the mental nerve (MN; the third branch of the trigeminal nerve). However, the mechanisms of this extra-territorial pain remain unclear. The
The clinical and radiologic findings in 30 patients who sustained injuries to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were retrospectively analyzed. Imaging consisted of variable combinations of radiography, tomography, two-compartment arthrography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging and
People with special needs undergoing dental surgery frequently require general anesthesia. We investigated the effect of remifentanil vs fentanyl on stress response and postoperative pain in people with special needs undergoing day-case dental surgery.

OBJECTIVE
The classical presentation of giant cell arteritis (GCA) includes the new onset of headache, scalp tenderness, facial pain or jaw claudication in an older patient. Many patients with GCA have features consistent with the diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatic (PMR) and nearly all have elevated
The CT appearances of 13 cases of pathologically proven aspergillosis involving paranasal sinuses were reviewed. Symptoms included rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, headache, facial pain and foul smell from the nose. At operation, these lesions appeared yellowish, brownish, grey or black in colour, and
