Abstract	Background: Ablative procedures of the oral cavity require composite removal of tissues, which results in compromise of both functional activities and esthetic mutilation and proves to be a reconstructive challenge. This paper focuses on the reliability and versatility of a single perforator-based anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap in oral cancer reconstruction. Materials and methods: All patients who underwent reconstruction with a single perforator-based ALT for oral cancer defects at our center were included in the study. Results: Forty-seven patients who underwent reconstruction with a single perforator-based ALT flap were included in our study. The average flap size in our series was 111 cm Conclusion: We conclude that a single perforator-based ALT is a very safe, reliable, and versatile flap for head and neck reconstruction. The microvascular anastomosis may be expensive and technically a limitation; however, it has found a permanent place in our head and neck reconstructive toolkit and is the workhorse flap for head and neck reconstruction.

Abstract	Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented situation which the treatment of maxillofacial trauma, especially mandibular fractures that were previously managed using general anaesthesia had to be performed under local anaesthesia. In these cases, there was a requirement for an anaesthetic agent that would have a rapid onset but also provide a prolonged effect. The aim of the study was to evaluate the onset, duration, depth, required volume of anaesthesia of lidocaine with epinephrine versus combination of lidocaine and bupivacaine with epinephrine anaesthetic agents in surgical management of isolated mandibular fracture patients. Methods: A total of 30 patients with isolated mandibular fractures reported to our hospital included the study group. Patients were randomly distributed to two groups, Group A and Group B. Group A received local anaesthesia using 2% Lidocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline and Group B received 0.5% Bupivacaine with 1:2,00,000 adrenaline combined with 2% Lidocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline at a ratio of 1:1. The outcome variables were recorded and the data was tabulated and analysed using un-paired students t test. Results: The combination of anaesthetic agents had longer duration of action (mean: 182.47 min, P-value: 0.001) and required lesser volume of anaesthetic solutions (mean: 5.38 mL, P-value: 0.001) as compared to usage of lidocaine alone. Although combination group showed quicker onset (mean: 4 min 8 s), the result was insignificant (p-value: 0.345). Conclusion: The study found that the combination of lidocaine and bupivacaine could serve as a potential anaesthetic cocktail in effective surgical management of isolated mandibular fractures. Clinical relevance: Maxillofacial injuries can be managed efficiently under local anaesthesia using combination of lidocaine and bupivacaine.

Abstract	Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to consider the anatomical basis and surgical technique along with the utility of buccal fat pad (BFP) for the reconstruction in cleft lip and palate patients. Methods: We reviewed 27 cases of CLAP treated with BFP over three year period in our institution which included 2 cases of primary palatoplasty & 25 cases of secondary palatoplasty. Inclusion criteria consisted of patients operated by a single surgeon with a minimum follow up of 2yrs. Exclusion criteria included all syndromic cleft lip and palate patients. Predictor variables recorded were demographic characters, follow up period, type of cleft, type of surgical procedure, site & dimension of the fistula. Outcome variables of the study were post-operative fistula formation, post-operative hemorrhage & speech assessment. Results: The study included 8 female & 19 male patients with mean age group 3.75 ± 1.75yrs. Cleft of soft palate & Lt. CLAP were the most common type of cleft. The surgical technique used was: BFP with V-Y pushback palatoplasty for primary palate repair, BFP with Furlow's technique for VPI correction, and BFP in conjugation with rotation flap, straight-line closure or redohardpalatoplasty for fistula closure. All cases showed satisfactory healing with favorable speech assessment outcomes for 18 patients (67%). Conclusion: BFP along with other types of flap is the choice of treatment in cases of moderate defect owing to its favorable anatomic location & high vascularity. The size limitation of the BFP must be known to permit a successful outcome.

Abstract	Purpose: Alveolar bone grafting is undertaken to provide stability to the dental arch and facilitate the eruption of permanent canine as teeth in the line of cleft usually have an altered pattern of eruption. The purpose of this study was to assess the eruption status and the change in the position and pattern of canine eruption after secondary alveolar bone grafting. Methods: An ambispective cohort study was conducted in patients operated for alveolar bone grafting with unilateral/bilateral alveolar cleft between the age of 9 to 13 years using autogenous iliac crest bone graft. The predictor variables of interest include the preoperative eruption status of canine (completely erupted/partially erupted/unerupted), stage of root development (one-third/two-third/more than two-third/complete) and position (vertical/lateral/buccopalatal) of the canine. The primary outcome variable is the eruption status of the canine (completely erupted/partially erupted/unerupted) at 6 months postoperatively. Secondary outcome variables include the stage of root development, change in the vertical, lateral and buccopalatal position of the canine observed in the first 6 months postoperatively with follow-up at 1 and 3 months. Another secondary outcome variable was the status of bone graft at 6 months postoperatively. Statistical analysis was done using Spearman's rank correlation and ANOVA chi-square test. Result: The study sample consisted of 30 non-syndromic alveolar cleft patients with a mean age of 11.9 years, out of which partial and complete eruption of canine was seen in 43.33 and 36.67%, respectively. The canine was unerupted in 20% of the cases (P = .001). There was evidence of continued root development through the grafted bone. No significant change in the angulation of canine was observed in the postoperative period. Conclusion: Significant change in the eruption status and root development of canine with no statistically significant change in the vertical and lateral angulation during eruption was observed. Identifying these risk factors by continuous postoperative monitoring will help in identifying the malposition at an early stage.

Abstract	The aim of the study is to assess the occlusion in mandibular condyle fractures using T-Scan and analyze the data obtained. Twenty patients underwent non-surgical management for condylar fractures were treated with Erich arch bar and guiding elastics, and periodically subjected to T-Scan III evaluations. The data obtained was analyzed with the clinical evaluation conducted. There were 18 males and 2 females. Mean age of the patients was 25.4 ± 7.4 years. There were statistically no significant changes in Centre of Force values, in Bite Force at First Contact (P < 0.05) during the study period. There were significant differences in Maximum Bite Force between preoperative and postoperative values, preoperative and sixth-month values, postoperative and first-month values, first-month and sixth-month values. There were significant (P < 0.05) differences in Bite Force at Maximum Intercuspation between preoperative and third month, preoperative and sixth-month values, postoperative and sixth-month values, first-month and consequent follow-ups. Subjective evaluation of occlusion revealed significant differences (P < 0.05) between preoperative and 1-month, preoperative and postoperative, postoperative and 1-month values. All patients improved by the end of 6 months with regards to their mouth opening. The center of force does not alter significantly in post trauma period. Mouth opening improves significantly at the end of 6-month period post-operative. Improvement in maximum bite force and maximum intercuspation take place simultaneously. Mouth opening improved significantly. Subjective evaluation of occlusion does not change significantly after the third month evaluation. Longer follow-ups would help us in understanding when or if the bite forces equilibrate after a condylar trauma.

Abstract	Aims and objective: This retrospective study evaluates the importance of Mantoux test and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) levels in pediatric tuberculosis and also signifies the impact of this test in treatment planning and implementation in pediatric cleft lip and palate patients. Methodology: Retrospective analyses of the records of 2010 pediatric cleft lip and palate patients below 5 years age were performed, and patients with elevated ESR subjected to Mantoux test were identified. The parameters included were age, sex, ESR levels, type of cleft, history of contact with TB & BCG vaccination, Mantoux conversion, chest X-ray findings, number of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis. Results: Out of 2010 patients with cleft lip and palate, 180 patients were subjected to Mantoux test due to high ESR levels. Among these, 54 (30%) patients found as Mantoux positive, in which 45 patients were identified as smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients; as a result, surgery was deferred and they underwent antituberculous therapy. Most of the Mantoux-positive cases were found in patients with ESR range of 20-30 mm, i.e., 38 patients (71%), and common age group was 6 months-1 year. The most commonly involved cleft type was: unilateral cleft lip and palate having 36 patients (66.7%). The overall incidence of tuberculosis was 2%. Conclusion: Although the correlation of Mantoux test with elevated ESR was not significant in our study, it could be of value as a screening tool along with the Mantoux test, which is sensitive but nonspecific in the diagnosis of active tuberculosis. Together, they could be a valuable screening tool in any community or hospital for diagnosis of the disease.

Abstract	Context: Log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) have been recently demonstrated as a very promising staging model and have outperformed AJCC pN, lymph node ratio (LNR) category in major cancers. Literature is scarce concerning the prognostic ability of LODDS in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. Aims: The present study was aimed to evaluate the importance of LODDS in predicting locoregional recurrence and overall survival (OS) in patients with OSCC compared to LNR. Settings and design: The retrospective study was carried out on 194 patients with OSCC cases treated by surgery ± adjuvant therapy from 2008 to 2014 at our institution. Subjects and methods: Demographical and clinicopathological details of study cases were recorded. LNR and LODDS were calculated and expressed as a percentage and mean ± standard deviation. Statistical analysis used: The OS analysis was done by the Kaplan-Meier curve followed by log-rank (mantel-cox) test. Univariate and multivariate survival analysis was done to analyze the prognostic ability of LNR% and LODDS after adjusting the clinicopathological parameters by the Cox proportional hazards model. Results: Patients with cut off values of LODDS >-1.2 and LNR% >4 had significantly lower mean OS ( Conclusions: LODDS was an independent reliable prognostic indicator for patients with OSCCs than conventional staging systems and LNR.

Abstract	Aim: Three-dimensional (3D) printed models are contemporary volumetric bone graft assessment technique for secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. The study aimed at evaluation of long-term stability of iliac autograft in SABG using multislice computed tomography (CT) and 3D-printed model-based volumetric analysis. Materials and methods: Twenty-eight patients were included in this prospective clinical study. CT image (T1) was taken after orthodontic maxillary expansion, correlating with the presurgical image. Furthermore, 3D-printed model was prepared, and volumetric assessment of graft needed was ascertained with water displacement technique. SABG was carried on with the anterior iliac crest autografting procedure. After 1-year follow-up, postoperative CT analysis (T2) was followed upon. Results: The stability of bone graft at the 1-year postoperative was found to be 43.74% with mean bone loss of 56.26% (95% confidence interval; Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, it seems appropriate to conclude that 3D-printed models serves as better reference than CT imaging in the context of planning and execution of precise bone grafting in SABG.

Abstract	Purpose: In the present study, we have highlighted the occurrence of different palatal fistulas and evaluated the difficulty level in planning the treatment, thereby enabling the prediction of the prognosis preoperatively. Materials and methods: The present retrospective study included 62 nonsyndromic cases with primary surgery and palatal fistula repair performed in our unit. Data were collected on the fistula incidence, site, and size, cleft type, fistula closure method. All these were categorized, analyzed, and scored according to the difficulty index reported by Richardson et al. The data were statistically analyzed using χ Results: The incidence of palatal fistula was 4.58%, with the transverse type (74%) the predominant type. The difficulty index was grade 1 and 2 for 33 (53.2%) and 29 (46.8%) patients, respectively. The recurrence rate was 35.4%, with 6.4 and 28.9% observed in the grade 1 and grade 2 groups, respectively (P = .019). The surgical techniques included tongue flap, redo palatoplasty, rotation flap, and a combination of rotation with a buccal fat pad. The incidence of recurrence was dependent on the type of surgical management and the difficulty index score (P = .047). Conclusions: Palatal fistula closure is a technically difficult procedure with a high recurrence rate. Thus, the difficulty level index for closure must be evaluated to predict the outcomes of the procedure before surgery. Also, further studies are required to introduce a standardized classification system of fistula complexity to address the difficulty in their management.

Abstract	Invasive fungal co-infections with COVID-19 are currently being reported at an alarming rate. Our study explores the importance of early identification of the disease, probable etiopathogenesis, clinical and radiological features and a treatment protocol for COVID-19 Associated Fungal Osteomyelitis of Jaws and Sinuses (CAFOJS). A one-year prospective study from June 2020 to May 2021 was conducted among CAFOJS diagnosed patients at a tertiary care center in South India. Demographic details, COVID-19 infection and treatment history, time taken for initiation of symptoms after COVID-19 diagnosis, medical history and clinical features were recorded. All patients were managed with a standard diagnostic and intervention protocol which included pre-operative and post-operative administration of Inj. Amphotericin B 50 mg (liposomal), early aggressive surgical debridement and tab. Posaconazole GR 300 mg OD for 90 days after discharge. Thirty-nine (78%) patients were diagnosed with CAFOJS out of 50 osteomyelitis patients. 35 patients (90%) were diabetic and 21 patients (54%) were known to receive steroids during the COVID-19 treatment. Sole existence of Mucorales spp. was seen in 30 patients (77%), Aspergillus fumigatus in 2 patients (5%), Curvularia spp. in 2 patients (5%). Concomitant existence of Mucorales and Aspergillus fumigatus was reported in two patients (5%) and Candida albicans in three patients (8%). Patients underwent treatment with standard protocol and no recurrence noted. CAFOJS is a clinical entity with aggressive presentation and warrants early diagnosis and treatment. Lay summary: Invasive fungal infections of head and neck region cause necrosis of bones affected by it, especially maxilla. Early diagnosis and treatment are advocated in such infections due to its aggressive clinical presentation compared to similar infections before COVID-19 pandemic.
