This study presents a unique, fast, and environmentally friendly approach for synthesizing MnO nanoparticles (MnO NPs) utilizing Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) extract. The formation of nanoparticles was indicated by a color change from dark purple to dark brown within 10 min and validated through techniques including UV-Vis spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). Bromocresol green and Bromothymol blue were established as standards for assessing the photocatalytic efficiency of the synthesized nanoparticles.

All the compounds were non-electrolytes and nanocrystalline. The synthesized compounds were assessed for antioxidant potential by DPPH radical scavenging and FRAP assay, with BHT serving as the positive control.

This Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) was carried out to evaluate the changes in peri-implant soft-tissue dimensions after the immediate implant along with soft-tissue augmentation with acellular dermal matrix and connective tissue autografts.
Methods: Twenty clinical cases requiring tooth extraction in the anterior region of the maxilla (single rooted tooth) were selected and randomly divided.
