Objective: Dental extraction in hemophiliacs is associated with a high risk of bleeding. It requires a multidisciplinary approach and stringent protocol. The current trend is to simplify these protocols. In this study we review the efficacy of a protocol using systemic treatment--factors/dihydro-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP)--and simplified local hemostatic measures to control bleeding, to limit patient discomfort, and to minimize hospital length of stay.
Study Design: This retrospective study of 55 dental extractions was performed during 19 interventions in 16 patients with hemophilia A or B to assess the efficacy of a protocol combining general management via the injection of factor concentrates or DDAVP and local hemostasis using biological glue and gelatin packing. Compressive, hemostatic splints, which have been in use by some for many years, are replaced by intermittent tranexamic acid compression during the first 3 days after surgery.
Results: We recorded 6 instances of postsurgical bleeding, 4 of which occurred after the compression period. In 2 cases repetition of the local hemostasic measures was required along with the injection of an antihemophilic factor concentrate. In the other 4 cases, the patients' condition reverted to normal following injection of the factor concentrate and the reapplication of the compression.
Conclusion: The adopted protocol produced a reliable outcome, limiting the duration of the hospital stay to 24 hours in most cases, and improving postsurgical comfort thanks to a combination of systemic treatment and local hemostasic measures including intermittent tranexamic acid compression.

Aim: The objective of the present study is to assess and compare the effectiveness of two different anesthetic agents, namely, 4% articaine and 2% lignocaine, in the extraction of primary molar teeth in children.
Materials And Methods: The study included 25 children requiring bilateral extractions of primary molar, with extraction performed on one side with 4% articaine and the contralateral side extraction with 2% lignocaine at two separate appointments. The anesthetic efficacy was evaluated objectively by assessing pain and the child's behavior at baseline, during injection and during extraction using the sound, eye, and motor (SEM) scale objectively, and subjectively using the faces pain rating scale (FPS).

Aim: The socket-shield technique arises from the efforts to stop the dimensional changes of the bone crest and gingival tissues. This technique consists of leaving a vestibular fragment of a naturally attached root with the purpose of keeping the crestal bone nourished through the periodontium. The aim of this research was to perform a scientometric analysis of the scientific production on the socket-shield technique in oral implantology.

Background/purpose: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), a complication arising from the use of bisphosphonates (BPs), inflicts long-term suffering on patients. Currently, there is still a lack of effective treatments. This study aimed to explore the preventive effects of propranolol (PRO) on BRONJ in vitro and in vivo, given PRO's potential in bone health enhancement.

Background/purpose: Dental management prior to radiotherapy is often time-critical, and there are no studies on whether manipulations such as tooth extraction influence the risk of severe radiation-induced oral mucositis (ROM) during radiotherapy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the relationship between dental management and the incidence of severe ROM.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 144 head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who received dental management before radiotherapy at Peking University Cancer Hospital, from January 2016 to December 2017.

Background/purpose: Chronic periodontitis and tooth loss contribute to cognitive decline. Since many biological processes are shared by loss of teeth and loss of pulps, this study investigated the potential association between loss of pulp and the development of dementia.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted to investigate the association between dental treatment and the development of dementia.
