The modified sagittal osteotomy of the mandible: two case reports.

Two case reports of a modified sagittal split osteotomy of the ramus of the mandible are presented which illustrate a technically simplified modality of treating various dentofacial abnormalities. A brief review of the literature is presented and observations are made on the procedures. The need for future documentation of intraoperative and postoperative results on this type of procedure is recommended.

Clinical effects of aspirin and acetaminophen on hemostasis after exodontics.

The effects of aspirin and acetaminophen on postextraction hemostasis were evaluated in a double-blind study in a group of 43 patients; 20 received aspirin and 23 received acetaminophen. No significant difference was found in the observed postsurgical alveolus bleeding times or the patients' reported length of postoperative bleeding. However, Ivy bleeding times taken after the ingestion of 80 grains of medication showed an elevation in 75% of the aspirin users and in 60% of the acetaminophen group; the mean change in bleeding times was 2.75 times greater in the aspirin group.

Intraoral corroboration of systemic plasma-cell myeloma. Abbreviated case report.

A patient with a previously diagnosed case of multiple myeloma was readmitted for a pathologic fracture of the hip. Intraoral examination revealed a soft-tissue swelling over the right posterior mandibular ridge. Radiographs showed multiple radiolucent areas of the maxilla and mandible. A needle-biopsy technique was used to confirm the diagnosis of intraoral manifestations of plasma-cell myeloma.
