Assessment of Perception of Pain with E-Speed Film, CCD Sensor and Photostimulable Phosphor Plates for Intraoral Radiographs in Children using Three Pain Rating Scales.

Background: Dental radiography is an integral part of intraoral evaluation. Children are often uncomfortable during the placement of film or sensor due to the impingement of the soft tissues. Thus, the perception of pain with three intraoral radiographic methods in children was evaluated using three subjective pain rating scales.

To Evaluate the Clinical Efficacy of 940 nm Diode Laser and Propolis Gel (A Natural Product) in Adjunct to Scaling and Root Planing in Treatment of Chronic Periodontitis.

Background: Recently, various adjunctive treatment options along with Scaling and root planing (SRP) such as local drug delivery, medications, and lasers have been introduced for the treatment Chronic periodontitis (CP) but literature is limited.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of 940 nm diode laser and propolis gel in adjunct to Scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of CP.

Subjects And Methods: Randomized clinical trial was conducted among 30 CP patients with a probing depth of ≥5 mm was allocated randomly into Group 1 (SRP), Group 2 (SRP + diode laser), and Group 3 (SRP + propolis gel).

Synthesis and structures of dinuclear palladium complexes with 1,3-benzimidazolidine-2-thione and 1,3-imidazoline-2-thione.

The synthesis and structures of dinuclear palladium complexes with 1,3-benz-imidazolidine-2-thione (bzimtH) and 1,3-imidazoline-2-thione (imtH) are reported, namely, bis-(μ-1-benzimidazole-2-thiol-ato)-κ :;κ : -bis-[cyanido(tri-phenyl-phosphine-κ)palladium(II)], [Pd(CHNS)(CN)(CHP)] or [Pd(μ-,-bzimtH)(CN)(PPh)] (), and bis-(μ-1-imidazole-2-thiol-ato)-κ :;κ : -bis-[cyanido(tri-phenyl-phosphine-κ)palladium(II)] aceto-nitrile 0.58-solvate, [Pd(CHNS)(CN)(CHP)]·0.58CHN or [Pd(μ-,-imtH)(CN)(PPh)]·0.

Comparative evaluation of the platelet-rich fibrin bandage versus gelatin sponge-assisted palatal wound healing of free gingival graft donor site: A case series.

Periodontal plastic surgery often involves palatal donor site, thereby creating an open wound that is prone to postoperative complications such as bleeding, pain, and slow healing process. To prevent the same, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and gelatin sponge (GS) were utilized equally at the donor site in six patients. Patients were monitored at the 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after surgery for postoperative discomfort (D), consumption of analgesics during first postoperative week, alteration of sensitivity (AS), change in feeding habits (CFH), complete wound epithelialization (CWE), and healing index (Landry 1998).

Comparative clinicoradiographical evaluation of effect of aminobisphosphonate (sodium alendronate) on peri-implant bone status: Controlled clinical trial.

Aim: The present study aims to compare the peri-implant bone status around immediately loaded dental implants treated with aminobisphosphonate solution and untreated control implants in terms of clinical and radiographical parameters.

Materials And Methods: A total of 24 patients were randomly divided equally into two groups. This study was conducted in accordance to the Helsinki's declaration of 1975, revised in 2000, and with the approval of the institutional ethical committee.

A rare case report of peri-implant bone necrosis: Mapping the distance of initial peri-implant complication toward a path of success.

In the past decade, science of implant placement has greatly advanced and at the same time much success has been experienced with the endosseous implant. Despite the long-term predictability of the implants, however, biological, technical and esthetic complications do occur. The use of osseointegrated implants as a foundation for prosthetic replacement of missing teeth has been highly predictable, but still at present, there is no consensus of how to best manage the complications occurring after implant placement.
