Effects of intraoperative placement of tetracycline, tetracycline + gelatin sponge, and placebo on postoperative pain after mandibular molar extraction: A comparative prospective study.

Background: Painless postoperative period is a major requisite following routine dental extractions. Reduction in the postextraction complication is beneficial to both clinician and patients. Hence, emphasis should be given to the techniques and agents that help reduce the complications for better postoperative recovery.

Missing teeth after maxillofacial trauma: a case report and management protocol.

Management of maxillofacial trauma includes primary care, in which diagnosis and management of dentoalveolar injury play a vital role. Due to the impact sustained during a maxillofacial injury (whether direct or indirect), dentoalveolar injuries can occur, leading to fracture and displacement of teeth and associated alveolar bone into the surrounding soft tissues and associated structures, such as the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, upper respiratory tract, tracheobronchial tree, or gastrointestinal tract. Undiagnosed displaced teeth may cause complications such as airway obstruction.
