Early post-operative endodontic therapy limits inflammatory root resorption of autotransplanted maxillary canine teeth.
This study has provided information concerning the limitation of inflammatory root resorption of autotransplanted maxillary canine teeth. It has been shown that early post-operative endodontic therapy significantly decreases the occurrence of inflammatory root resorption (P less than 0.001) but does not change the prevalence of replacement root resorption. It is argued that by limiting inflammatory resorption the prognosis for autotransplanted teeth is considerably improved.

Mandibular fractures in India during the Second World War (1944 and 1945): analysis of the Snawdon series.
The records of Major J. W. E. Snawdon of the No. 2 Indian Maxillofacial Unit provide a rare and detailed insight into the treatment of mandibular fractures during the Second World War. Notable features were the high frequency of civilian-type injuries, the considerable delays between injury and definitive treatment, the lengthy periods of intermaxillary fixation required, the high incidence of infections and the common occurrence of delayed union. Despite these problems, only 12% of fractures resulted in non-union, usually when these were missile injuries with considerable destruction. Reporting of the details from Snawdon's records should be of interest particularly to young oral surgeons, whose experience of trauma belongs to an entirely different environment.
