Antioxidant, antibacterial, and systemic efficacy of sesame oil-pulling in periodontitis and diabetes management.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of sesame oil-pulling in periodontitis with/without Type2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), compared to Chlorhexidine, for its oral and systemic health benefits.

Material And Methods: Total of 120 periodontitis patients, without (Group A; 60)/with (Group B; 60) T2DM, underwent control (chlorhexidine 0.12%; Group A1 & B1) and test (sesame oil-pulling; Group A2 & B2) interventions.

Tenon's patch graft for sterile perforation: follow-up with serial, high-resolution, anterior-segment, optical coherence tomography.

Management of corneal perforation depends on the size, location and cause of the lesion. Smaller perforations can be managed with tissue adhesives (TAs), amniotic membrane transplantation or Tenon's patch graft (TPG). Tenon's capsule is an autologous transplant and, as such, does not require to be supplied by an eye bank support.
