    Comparing bleomycin and sodium tetradecyl sulfate for treatment of low flow craniomaxillofacial venous malformations
    (2025-03-01) Dr Shahzada Faiz Ahmad Khan
    Objective: To compare the efficacy of bleomycin versus sodium tetradecyl sulfate for the treatment of low flow craniomaxillofacial venous malformations in the Pakistani population. Methodology: This study utilized a randomized controlled trial design and was conducted at the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Allama Iqbal Medical College/Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, over six months. Patients who underwent sclerotherapy were given prophylactic antihistamine medication before the procedure. Patients with abnormal values in specific blood tests were excluded. Two groups were formed: Group A received a combination of xylocaine with adrenaline and bleomycin, while Group B received sodium tetradecyl sulfate. Outcome was assessed in both groups. Results: The study enrolled participants with an age range of 8 to 40 years. The duration of symptoms varied from 8 to 24 months. The size of the lesions ranged from 6×10mm to 40×40mm. The study population consisted of 43.2% male patients and 56.8% female patients. Statistical analysis using the chi-square test revealed a significant association between treatment efficacy and the two groups, with a p-value of 0.020. Conclusion: This study compares the efficacy of Bleomycin and Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate (STS) in treating low-flow craniomaxillofacial venous malformations, with Bleomycin demonstrating a higher response rate, particularly in facial and oral cavity lesions. The findings support sclerotherapy as an effective minimally invasive treatment.

    The Incidence of Dry Socket Following Non-Surgical Extraction of Mandibular Molars in A Teaching Hospital
    (2024-11-05) Dr Shahzada Faiz Ahmad Khan
    Objective: This study aims to determine the incidence of dry socket following non-surgical extraction of mandibular molars in a hospital setting. Study Design: Cross-sectional study Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery / Community and Preventive Dentistry, Azra Naheed Dental College, The Superior University, Lahore from March 2024 to June 2024. Methods: A sample of 120 patients who underwent mandibular molar extraction was assessed for the development of a dry socket over a one-week postoperative period. Nominal variables were analyzed using the Chi-Square Test. Results: The incidence rate of dry socket was found to be 12.5 %. Risk factors such as poor oral hygiene, and lack of post-operative care were positively associated with dry socket development. Treatment: Treatment involved debridement of the extraction site and placing an obtundent dressing containing eugenol, with 10.8% of patients experiencing symptom relief within 48 hours. Conclusion: The study concludes that while dry socket remains a significant postoperative issue, proper patient education on postoperative care can reduce its incidence and improve patient outcomes
