Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this present article was to know the efficacy of bone mapping/sketching in management of anterior table frontal sinus fracture.

Material and methods

This prospective clinical study includes 10 patients who reported to department of dentistry, AIIMS Bhopal with anterior table frontal sinus fracture. Sterile plain white paper or a glove cover was used for mapping/sketching. The patients were evaluated for post-operative contour of the fractured frontal sinus defect and any mucocele formation.

Results

All the 10 patients had no infection or post-operative mucocele formation and all have excellent aesthetic of the anterior table of the frontal sinus.

Conclusion

Bone mapping/sketching should be done in all comminuted fractures of cranio-maxillofacial region.
