Diabetes and Anaemia: A Myth or Reality.

Introduction: Chronic diabetes develops when the pancreas does not release enough insulin or the body cannot use it. Anemia is a disorder characterized by reduced hemoglobin or red blood cells. The body needs hemoglobin to transport oxygen.

Ozone: An Adjunct in Dental Treatment.

Ozone is utilized in dentistry as ozonated oils, ozonated water, and gaseous ozone. The application of ozone in all specialties of dentistry has been demonstrated to be biocompatible. It has been demonstrated to encourage the remineralization of recently carious teeth, and it is utilized in dental caries and intracanal irrigants in endodontic treatment.

Efficacy of Oral Colchicine and Intralesional Hyaluronidase with and without Ultrasound Therapy in the Management of Oral Submucous Fibrosis-A Comparative Study.

Aim: To determine the therapeutic effect and efficacy of oral colchicine tablet and intralesional injection of hyaluronidase with and without ultrasound therapy in the clinical course of oral submucous fibrosis.

Materials And Methods: This comparative study involving 45 human participants was divided into three equal groups. The participants in group 1 received oral colchicine and intralesional hyaluronidase.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and its Application in Dentistry: A Literature Review.

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a biocompatible fibrin matrix that acts as a resorbable membrane, collecting platelet cytokines, growth factors, and cells and releasing them. It is easily extracted from blood. Many dentists use PRF, a concentrated growth factor solution, to treat various lesions and regenerate tooth and oral tissues.

An Evaluation of Postoperative Pain after Root Canal Instrumentation Using Manual K-files and Kedo-S Rotary files in Primary Molars.

Aim: To determine postoperative pain after root canal instrumentation using manual K-file and rotary Kedo-S files in primary molars.

Material And Method: Thirty-six primary mandibular molars from 4- to 8-year-old children requiring pulpectomy were randomly split into two groups of 18 teeth each, that is, manual file K-file (Group I) and Kedo-S rotary file (Group II). Children's pre- and postoperative pain was assessed using a four-point scale at different time intervals.

Comparative Evaluation of Effect of TENS on Controlling Pain Associated with Orthodontic Separator Placement-A Clinical Study.

Aim: To assess and contrast the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy and topical anesthetic gel in reducing the level of pain associated with the placement of orthodontic separators.

Materials And Methods: A cohort of 40 individuals, aged between 16 and 20 years, who were in need of fixed orthodontic treatment, was chosen for the study. Elastomeric separators were positioned bilaterally adjacent to the first molars in all participants, who were subsequently separated into two distinct cohorts.

Comparison of the Clinical Efficacy of Herbal, Chlorhexidine, and Normal Saline Mouthwash in the Management of Chronic Gingivitis.

Background: The incidence of chronic gingivitis, a widespread inflammatory condition of the gums, is considerable across the demographic spectrum, with potential progression to advanced periodontal pathology in the absence of intervention. The objective of this investigation was to conduct a comparative analysis of the clinical effectiveness of various oral rinses in mitigating the symptoms of chronic gingivitis.

Methods: This empirical study was conducted within the confines of the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology.
