Pain Perception During Local Anesthesia Administration in Pediatric Dental Patients and The Impact of Pre-Cooling The Injection Site: An Study.

Aim: Examining how pre-cooling affects children's experience of pain during local anesthetic administration is the primary goal of this study.

Material And Methods: This study was conducted and involved 60 child patients who required local anesthetic in order to undergo dental procedures. Patients were divided into two groups based on a random chance: Group I was the control group, which did not receive any pre-cooling.

Comparing the Effectiveness of Traditional Periodontal Surgery Versus Non-Surgical Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Periodontal disease, characterized by inflammation and infection of the supporting structures of teeth, poses a significant oral health challenge. Traditional periodontal surgery and non-surgical therapy, such as scaling and root planing, are established treatment approaches for addressing periodontal disease.

Materials And Methods: The study enrolled 120 adult patients diagnosed with moderate to severe periodontal disease.

A Case Report of a Gingival Plasma Cell Granuloma in a Patient on Antihypertensive Therapy: Diagnostic Enigma.

The aim of the present report was to discuss a unique case of gingival plasma cell granuloma (PCG) in a hypertensive patient on Amlodipine therapy. Also, we attempt to emphasize the importance of considering primary and advance investigations before making a definite diagnosis. PCG is an extremely rare, reactive, non-neoplastic lesion characterized by the predominance of polyclonal plasma cells.

Management of massive peripheral ossifying fibroma using diode laser.

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) represents a non-neoplastic, reactive lesion of gingiva. The precise etiopathogenesis of POF is unclear; however, it is suggested to originate from the connective tissue of periodontal ligament. This lesion predominantly occurs in the maxillary anterior region.

Regular oral screening and vigilance: can it be a potential lifesaver?

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant neoplasm of myeloid series defined by the presence of immature blast cells (>30%) in peripheral circulation. Oral manifestations are the potential indicators of systemic health and disease. Oral cavity is the frequently and early involved sites in AML.

Periconceptional multiple-micronutrient supplementation and placental function in rural Gambian women: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: Maternal micronutrient deficiencies are commonly associated with clinical indicators of placental dysfunction.

Objective: We tested the hypothesis that periconceptional multiple-micronutrient supplementation (MMS) affects placental function.

Design: We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of MMS in 17- to 45-y-old Gambian women who were menstruating regularly and within the previous 3 mo.
