Oral Wound Healing: A Scoping Review and Proposal of a New Index for Palatal Mucosa.

Purpose: The aim of this scoping review was to evaluate the wound healing indices available in literature and propose a new intra-oral wound healing index to assess the healing of palatal mucosa.

Materials And Methods: A PubMed database search was conducted to identify relevant studies using the search strategy: ('Oral Wound healing') OR ('Palatal tissue healing') OR ('Healing indices in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery') OR ('Palatal wound healing') OR ('Complications in wound healing'). A qualitative and quantitative synthesis of the results was done and data was presented following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

Efficacy and Reliability of Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA) for Surgical Removal of Impacted Wisdom Teeth: A Comparative Study.

Introduction: Single tooth anesthesia via intra-ligamentary injections has long been used to provide localized pain control with minimal discomfort while avoiding undesirable effects like lip numbness, mainly in pediatric population with definite success. In this study, we aimed to assess the efficacy of single tooth anesthesia (STA) via intra-ligamentary injections using WAND STA in the surgical removal of impacted third molar.

Methodology: Sixty patients were randomly divided into two groups of 30 each where Group I (study group) received local anesthesia via STA system with 4% articaine and Group II (control group) received conventional injection, that is, inferior alveolar nerve block, (IANB) with 4% articaine.

Comparison of Occlusal Digital Analysis Using T-Scan in Orthognathic Surgery with Only Conventional Orthodontic Patients.

Aim And Objectives: The aims of this study were to compare the changes in occlusal parameters, TMJ status clinically in patients after the completion of orthognathic surgery, and patients undergoing only orthodontic treatment and with patients having normal occlusion, using T-Scan.

Methodology: This consisting of three groups with a sample size of twelve. Group 1 consisted of patients who underwent orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment.
