Comparison of Teriparatide and Combination of Cissus Quadrangularis and Dalbergia Sissoo on Bone Healing Against the Control Group in Maxillofacial Fractures: A Randomized Open-label Control Trial.

Study Design: Randomized Control Trial.

Objective: A randomized control trial was planned to aim to assess whether subcutaneous Injection of Teriparatide and Tablet Reunion (combination of Cissus Quadrangularis and ) improves maxillofacial fracture healing as compared to the control group.

Methods: 24 patients of mandibular fracture with or without concomitant maxillofacial fractures were randomly divided into 3 equal groups (Group 1- Control, Group 2- Tablet Reunion, and Group 3- Injection Teriparatide) and the treatment duration was 4 weeks.

The Clinical Efficacy of EMLA as a Topical Anesthetic Agent Instead of Palatal Injection During Maxillary Dental Extractions: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Even after the invention of the modern injection techniques, palatal injection still remains a painful experience for patients, and this pain is attributed to the presence of rich nerve complement and displacement of tightly adherent palatal mucosa during anesthesia.

Aim: To check the clinical efficacy of EMLA as a topical anesthetic agent instead of palatal injection during maxillary dental extractions.

Methodology: The trial includes a total of 102 participants, in whom maxillary molar extractions were indicated, were randomly divided into the experimental group (eutectic mixture of local anesthesia (EMLA) topical application was used along with buccal injection) and control group (palatal injection along with buccal injection).

Efficacy and Safety of Concentrated Growth Factors and Platelet- Rich Fibrin on Stability and Bone Regeneration in Patients with Immediate Dental Implants: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: Immediate dental implants revolutionized the field of implant dentistry with significant advantages over conventional implants. The lack of adequate bone in the extraction socket raises the question of the appropriate timing of implant loading. Platelet concentrates have been used widely to accelerate bone regeneration in the maxillofacial region.
