The present study was carried out to clinically evaluate mandibular angle fractures with teeth present in fracture line treated with stable internal fixation using locking miniplates. Based on this study the incidence of postoperative complications was comparatively less in retained cases, but individual decision must be made in every case, whether to retain or extract the tooth involved in line of mandibular angle fracture. Of the 20 cases 5(25%) had developed complications. The proportion of cases which developed complications was found to be statistically significant (P>0.05)....

The study group consisted of 30 patients with clinical evidence of cervical lymphadenopathy(19 patients with clinically suspected reactive/benign cervical lymphadenopathy and 11 patients with clinically suspected malignant/metastatic cervical lymphadenopathy).CDUS examinations were carried out for one lymph node (LN) in each patient and fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) of the same LN was obtained. To evaluate the efficacy of CDUS, comparison between clinical features, CDUS features and cytological features of enlarged cervical LNs were then done. Clinical examination evaluated 54...
