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.
