The maxillofacial soft tissue trauma is one of the major causes to visit the emergency room. For the past few decades, however, the basic concept of the repairing the soft tissue wound have not been changed. Therefore, it could be worthwhile to remind the fundamental concepts and practical information belong to the soft tissue injury management. Among the many types of soft tissue trauma, laceration wound which is most frequently met in the clinic will be discussed in this review.

Objectives : It is well known that cigarette smoking is harzardous to the osseointegration of dental implant, due to the impaired wound healing accompanied by reduced alveolar bone density. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of cigarette smoke on the implant osseointegration by the time factor consideration. Materials and methods : Twenty-four male Spraque-Dawley rats (8 weeks, weighting 200 to 250g) were used in this study. In the experimental group, 13 rats were exposed to cigarette smoke, 8 minutes per day during 6 weeks, and 12 rats in the control group were not exposed at any time. RBM (Resorbed blasting media) surfaced implant (diameter 3.3mm, length 5.0mm, AVANA Co., Korea) was placed in the right femur of each rat. Each implant with surrounding bone was prepared with microtome (cutting band 0.2mm$^{(R)}$, EXAKT Co., Germany) after 1 day, 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks and stained with toluidine blue (1%). Another clinical investigation of each implant was also done at each evaluation time. Results : Clinical investigation around implant fixture showed that there were no significant differences between the control and experimental group. Microscopic observation around implant fixture showed that there were significant differences between the control and experimental group at the initial stage after implant fixture installation. Experimental group showed a decreased bone to implant contact within 4 weeks compared to control group, but showed similar characteristics after 4 weeks. Conclusion : Smoking inhalation effect on the dental implant showed the impaired wound healing by vasoconstriction and decreased intramedullary blood flow at initial stage of osseointegration. This experimental results can be clinically useful to the implant surgery of smoking patients.

A technical refinement for oral commissure reconstruction is presented. The oral commissure has an important role in oral sphincteric function. Once lost, the oral commissure is very difficult to restore and therefore, reconstruction of the oral commissure requires prevention of this function as well as prevention of microstomia. Trauma and tumor excisions are the most frequent reasons that will necessitate reconstruction of the oral commissure. Direct approximation of the wound margins after resection of the corner of the mouth could easily induce microstomia and difficulty in opening. Thus case presented here deals with distortion of noraml mouth angle and acquired microstomia due to burn and tissue deface following shotgun and explosive wounds. The a mucosal flap approach was used to rehabilitate a natural looking mouth angle showing satisfactory results function and esthetic wise.

Parotid gland plays the most critical role in saliva secretion in the oral cavity. Parotid gland injuries due to facial trauma can cause various complications such as formation of a fistula or sialocele. Thus, such saliva-related complications can interfere with wound healing and increase the risk of infection. Several previous studies have discussed the treatment of fistula or sialocele. Nonetheless, prevention of such complications is of utmost importance. We present a case of parotid gland injury due to trauma to the cheeks that was surgically treated, with early postoperative management involving oral administration of nortriptyline and closed drainage, without complications.

The aim of this study was to describe the clinical availability of a variety of facial bone grafts in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Thirty patients with oral and maxillofacial bone defects were treated with mandible, maxilla, and zygoma bone grafts. The ages of the patients ranged from 8 to 64 years, with a mean age of 28.6 years. The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 30 months, with a mean follow-up of 11.7 months. Although postoperative follow-up was of short duration, the recilient sites were favorable to healing and bone consolidation. Healing progressed normally without severe morbidity. The donor site did not present a management problem in any of the patients.Some minor complications developed in 8 patients, of which three were infections and another three were wound dehiscence. There complications were easily managed with incision and drainage, antibiotics and local wound care. We consider that a variety of facial bone grafts can be used for reconsider that a variety of facial bone grafts can be used for reconstruction of small or moderate large bony defects.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the fibrin adhesive (Beriplast$^{(R)}$) on healing of full-thickness wounds in the rat's hard palate. Twenty Spraque-Dawley strain white male rats, each weighing 250~300 gm were used. Creation of full-thickness wounds of $4{\times}4mm$ in size were performed on the hard palate. Beriplast$^{(R)}$, a wound dressing material, was applied immediately in the experimental group, but not applied in the control group. All wounds were protected with palatal resin splints. The animals were sacrificed on the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 14th, and 28th day after the operation for macroscopic and microscopic examinations. Results obtained were as follows ; 1. On the 7th day after the operation, epithelial proliferation was greater in the experimental group than that in the control group. 2. The inflammatory reaction of the experimental group was less than the control group on the 2nd and 4th day after the operation. Beriplast was resorbed on the 7th day after the operation. 3. In the control group, the epithelial proliferation occurred from the 7th to the 14th day after the operation, and in the experimental group, epithelial proliferation occurred from the 4th day after the operation. 4. On the 14th and 28th day after the operation, there was no prominent difference between the two groups in histological findings. These results suggest that the use of fibrin adhesive (Beriplast$^{(R)}$) as a palatal wound dressing results in greater epithelial proliferation and less inflammation in the early stage of wound healing.

The wide deep penetrating wound of maxillofacial region should be early closed under emergency general anesthesia for the prevention of complications of bleeding, infection, shock & residual scars. But, if the emergency general anesthesia wound be impossible because of pneumoconiosis, obstructive pulmonary disease & hypovolemic shock, early primary closure should be done under local anesthesia by use of much amount of the anesthetic solution. The maximum dose of dental lidocaine (2% lidocaine with 1 : 100,000 epinephrine) is reported to 7 mg/kg under 500 mg (13.8 ampules) in normal adult. But the maximum permissible dose of dental lidocaine can be changed owing to the general health, rapidity of injection, resorption, distribution & excretion of the drug. The blood level of overdose toxicity is above $4.0{\mu}g/ml$ in central nervous & cardiovascular system. The injection of dental lidocaine 1-4 ampules is attained to the blood level of $1{\mu}g/ml$ in normal healthy adult. The duration of anesthetic action in the dental 2% lidocaine hydrochloride with 1 : 100.000 epinephrine is 45 to 75 minutes and the period to elimination is about 2 to 4 hours. Therefore, authors selected the following anesthetic methods that the first injection of 6 ampules is applied into the deeper periosteal layer for anesthetic action during 1 hour, the second injection into the deeper muscle & fascial layer, the third injection into the superficial muscle and fascial layer, the fourth injection into the proximal skin & subcutaneous tissue and the fifth final injection into the distal skin & subcutaneous tissue. The total 26-28 ampules of dental lidocaine were injected into the wound as the regular time interval during 5-6 hours, but there were no systemic complications, such as, agitation, talkativeness, convulsion and specific change of vital signs and consciousness.
