Comparison of anaesthetic efficacy of ropivacaine (0.75% & 0.5%) with 2% lignocaine with adrenaline (1:200000) in surgical extraction of bilateral mandibular 3 molars using IANB:a prospective, randomized, single blind study.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the anaesthetic efficacy of 0.75% ropivacaine and 0.5% ropivacaine with 2% lignocaine with 1:200000 Adrenaline (LWA) for surgical extraction of bilateral mandibular 3rd molars using Direct inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB).

Long standing Idiopathic gingival hyperplasia of oral cavity with invasion of maxillary sinus: A rare case report.

Introduction: Idiopathic gingival hyperplasia is a rare entity (about one in 1,75,000 individuals). It is characterized by a slow progressive benign enlargement, affecting the attached gingiva, marginal gingiva, and interdental papilla.

Presentation Of Case: This case report highlights the management of an unusual case of long standing idiopathic gingival hyperplasia involving the right maxillary sinus.

Pre-arthroplastic mandibular distraction osteogenesis for the correction of OSA in TMJ ankylosis: a prospective observational study of 25 cases.

Introduction: In severe TMJ ankylosis cases, the lack of growth of the mandible creates an anatomically narrow airway with a reduced pharyngeal airway space [PAS] which predisposes these patients towards obstructive apnoea [OSA]. There is evidence in the literature that such patients experience severe discomfort during physiotherapy if such airway abnormalities are not corrected prior to ankylosis release. This eventually leads to non-compliance towards physiotherapy and increases the risk of re-ankylosis.
