Comparative evaluation of intranasal midazolam-ketamine, dexmedetomidine-ketamine, midazolam-fentanyl, and dexmedetomidine-fentanyl combinations for procedural sedation and analgesia in pediatric dental patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: In order to assess the effectiveness of various analgesio-sedative combinations for pain relief and sedation in pediatric dental patients, a thorough evaluation of clinical studies and patient outcomes is necessary.

Methods: A total of 128 healthy, uncooperative pediatric dental patients were randomly allocated to receive one of the four combinations of drugs via the intranasal (IN) route: Group I received midazolam-ketamine (MK), Group II received dexmedetomidine-ketamine (DK), Group III received midazolam-fentanyl (MF), and Group IV received dexmedetomidine-fentanyl (DF) in a parallel-arm study design. The efficacy and safety of the combinations were evaluated using different parameters.

Clinical Radiographic Evaluation of 3Mixtatin and MTA in Primary Teeth Pulpotomies: A Randomized Controlled.

Introduction: The present study evaluates the efficiency of 3Mixtatin (a combination of Simvastatin and 3Mix antibiotics) in comparison with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in primary molars pulpotomy.

Materials And Methods: A total of 64 deciduous molar teeth with caries requiring pulpotomy procedure were selected and randomly divided into two treatment groups, Group I- MTA ( = 32), Group II- 3Mixtatin ( = 32). Restoration with Glass Ionomer Cement followed by stainless steel crowns was done after pulpotomy procedure.

Management of haemostasis during dental extraction in a Bernard-Soulier syndrome child.

The Bernard-Soulier syndrome also known as hemorrhagioparous thrombocytic dystrophy, is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder. Macrothrombocytopenia and increased bleeding time are the two main features of this syndrome. There is a reduced adherence of giant platelets to the subendothelium due to a deficiency of glycoprotein GPIb-V-IX complex.

Re-Assessment of Coronoid as a Graft for Condylar Reconstruction in TMJ Ankylosis Patients: A Prospective Study and Literature Review.

Introduction: Treatment for TMJ ankylosis aims at restoring joint function, improving the patient's aesthetic appearance and quality of life and preventing re-ankylosis. To rebuild a structurally and functionally satisfactory neocondyle is a challenging problem. Aim of this study is to re-assess the coronoid as a graft for condyle reconstruction.
