Efficacy of Autologous Cortico-Cancellous Bone Graft and Platelet-Rich Plasma with or without Bio-Oss in Bone Regeneration for Unilateral Alveolar Cleft Defects: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: Alveolar cleft grafting is crucial in cleft lip and palate rehabilitation, promoting maxillary continuity and facilitating dental development. While autologous bone grafts are the gold standard, combining them with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and xenografts like Bio-Oss has the potential to enhance bone regeneration and long-term stability. This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of combining autologous cortico-cancellous bone grafts, PRP, and Bio-Oss in alveolar cleft repair.

Does a Single Episode of Pain from Impacted Third Molars Necessitate Their Removal?

Background: Pericoronitis induces oxidative stress in the dental follicular (DF) tissue, which can lead to histopathological alterations. It is a fact that an impacted tooth with a history of recurrent pericoronitis should be extracted. But there is a limited research on the levels of nitric oxide (NO) in DF tissues of impacted mandibular third molars with even a single episode of pain, necessitating their removal biochemically at a younger age.

Conservative management of large radicular cysts associated with non-vital primary teeth: a case series and literature review.

Radicular cysts are the most common odontogenic cystic lesions of inflammatory origin. Large radicular cyst is comparatively less frequently associated with primary teeth. They represent only 0.
