A zygomatic complex fracture, which involves the separation of the zygoma from its adjacent bones, often presents with a palpable step deformity along the infraorbital rim. This deformity is a key physical sign of the bone displacement. Battle's sign (bruising behind the ear) is typically associated with a base of skull fracture, not a zygomatic one. A deviated nasal septum relates to nasal injuries. Crepitus in the frontal bone is indicative of a frontal bone fracture.

  1. Battle's sign
  2. Deviated nasal septum
  3. Crepitus in the frontal bone
  4. Step deformity at the infraorbital rim

Primary prevention aims to stop disease before it starts. Pit and fissure sealants protect tooth surfaces and prevent caries formation.
Serial extraction and scaling and root planning are examples of secondary or tertiary prevention, as they involve treatment after a condition (malocclusion or periodontal disease) has already started.
Fluoride use on incipient caries is also secondary prevention as it aims to halt the progression of an already existing early lesion.

  1. Ovale pontic
  2. Conical pontic
