Introduction: Jaw and gum tumours are rare conditions in children. Children presenting with jaw tumours during 2001 till 2007 are presented. Their modes of presentation, operative procedures and findings, histology and post operative results have been described.
Materials And Methods: Fourteen children presenting with jaw and gum tumours are retrospectively analysed. Acute inflammatory and developmental cyst are excluded from the study. Relevant literature of three rare tumours noted in our series are reviewed.
Results: Eight patients had epulis, two of them had rare congenital epulis. Two patients had aneurysmal bone cyst. Melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy was noted in two patients. Ameloblastic fibrosis, another rare tumour in children, and non-osseus fibroma were noted in one patient each. Excision of the mass was done in all except two patients with aneurysmal bone cyst, in whom curettage of the cyst was done. Patients were followed up from 3 months to 6 years.
Conclusion: Jaw and gum tumours in children are usually benign. Excision of the tumour or curettage is curative in most of them.

The Study Aims: To evaluate and compare the growth of gingiva around dental implants following the use of collagen matrices and connective tissue grafts (CTG).
Materials And Methods: The study included 80 study participants, who were divided into four groups based on the type of material used to enhance gingival thickness. Two groups utilized collagen matrices, Fibro-Gide and FibroMatrix as materials, while the other two groups utilized CTG obtained from the hard palate or tubercle area of the maxilla as controls.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a frequent and uncomfortable complication in women undergoing robotic gynecological procedures. Despite the use of various preventive strategies, PONV continues to negatively impact recovery and increase healthcare expenses. This study aimed to evaluate whether the preoperative use of sugar-free chewing gum could effectively minimize the dependence on anti-emetic drugs in women undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for uterine myomas.

Background: Orthodontic treatment involves manipulation of tooth position that can temporarily lead to occlusal interferences capable of inducing bruxism. The objectives of this study were to determine the self-reported incidence of bruxism and its association with factors such as facial type, divergence, skeletal and dental malocclusions in orthodontic patients.
Materials And Methods: 80 patients who underwent a minimum of six months of orthodontic treatment were surveyed using a validated self-reported bruxism questionnaire for the presence or absence of bruxism.
