[Magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of oral carcinoma].

Oral cancer accounts for 5% of all tumors in men and 2% in women. We analyzed frequency, sex distribution and cervical lymph node involvement in relation to tumor site. Local extension was diagnosed in 66 patients by MR imaging and the results were compared to CT scan. The results of these studies were correlated with the histopathological study of the specimen in relation to the diagnosis of bone infiltration, tumor size and cervical node infiltration. Bone infiltration was similar in MR images and CT scans. Tumor size was better diagnosed by MR imaging. Detection of cervical lymph node involvement was similar in MR imaging and CT scan.

[Miniplates in the treatment of mandibular fractures].

We present in this paper the treatment of mandibule fractures with miniplates of titanium. The miniplates have provided stable fixation and compared with other techniques improved in all concepts. The complication rates have been very low: there were not infections. The stability of fixation avoid to block with elastic training. Therefore, meticulous techniques is mandatory with particular emphasis in passive fitling of the plates.
