Comparative Evaluation of the Efficacy and Onset of Local Anesthesia Using Buffered 2% Lidocaine with 1:100,000 Adrenaline, Non-buffered 2% Lidocaine with 1:100,000 Adrenaline, Buffered 4% Articaine with 1:100,000 Adrenaline and Non-buffered 4% Articaine with 1:100,000 Adrenaline in Dental Extraction.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and speed of local anesthesia using buffered versus non-buffered 2% lidocaine and 4% articaine during dental extractions.
- A total of 28 patients were divided into four groups, each receiving different combinations of buffered and non-buffered lidocaine or articaine with adrenaline to assess onset and effectiveness of the anesthesia.
- Results indicated that buffered solutions provided significantly quicker onset and greater efficacy compared to their non-buffered counterparts, enhancing patient comfort during procedures.
Aims: This study aims to compare the outcome of radiosurgically assisted incision technique with the conventional scalpel blade technique in impacted mandibular third molar incisions.
Methods: On 100 patients (50 patients each in GROUP R and GROUP S) with impacted mandibular third molar, incisions were given using radio surgical and scalpel technique, respectively. Impacted third molars were classified according to Winter's classification.
Orocutaneous fistula (OCF) (of dental origin) is an uncommon but well-described condition in the literature. These are often misdiagnosed by physicians and dentists. Careful selection of investigating modality is important in case of diagnostically challenging cases.

The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) represents 3-7% of all odontogenic tumors, and over 750 cases have been reported in the literature. This lesion was formerly considered to be a variant of the ameloblastoma and was designated as adenoameloblastoma. These lesions may infrequently produce dentinoid material and rarely enamel matrix.

Sialolithiasis is the second most common disease of the salivary glands and the main cause of salivary gland obstruction. Diagnosis of calculi/sialoliths can be made by means of an elaborate history, precise clinical examination and radiographic support. But all sialoliths do not present with predictable signs and symptoms and radiographic appearance.

Purpose: Our aim is to demonstrate the importance of postoperative assessment and highlight the need for a lifetime follow-up of the patient and the siblings in cases of Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS).
Materials And Methods: Three siblings out of which two were of syndromic multiple odontogenic keratocysts, with multiple basal cell nevae were followed-up for manifestations of NBCCS from year 2001 till date. Two of the patients were treated for multiple bilateral odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs).
