Background: Managing pain during dental procedures is crucial, particularly for children, as pain can induce anxiety. Local anesthesia is the most anxiety-inducing procedure in pediatric patients. Consequently, this study aimed to assess and compare the pain-related behaviors and perceptions associated with two anesthesia techniques for children: traditional local anesthesia and intraosseous local anesthesia administered via the QuickSleeper 5 system.

Introduction And Importance: Intraosseous anesthesia (IOA), an important technique in dental anesthesia, delivers anesthetic directly into the bone, enhancing patient comfort and minimizing side effects. Despite advantages, several disadvantages are known such as injection discomfort, root damage, mechanical obstructions and needle fractures. This report highlights a rare yet significant complication of focal mandibular osteonecrosis following IOA.

Chemerin, an adipocyte-secreted adipokine, can regulate bone resorption and bone formation and is a promising therapy for postmenopausal osteoporosis. However, the effect of endogenous chemerin on intraosseous vascular remodeling in postmenopausal osteoporosis remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of chemerin on osteogenesis formation and intraosseous vascular remodeling in ovariectomized Rarres2 knockout (Rarres2) mice.

Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis (DSO) is a non-bacterial disease of the jawbone, characterized by intermittent pain, swelling, and a mixture of osteosclerosis and osteolysis on radiographs. Its etiology remains unclear, and a standard treatment, based on clear diagnostic criteria, has not been established. We present the case of a 48-year-old male patient, who was initially diagnosed with chronic mandibular osteomyelitis due to apical periodontitis in the right lower second premolar, and underwent antimicrobial medication and surgical therapy based on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone scintigraphy.

Background: There is substantial evidence that smokers present a less favorable response following regenerative periodontal surgery. However, there are no reports to date on the response to regenerative procedures in chronic cannabis smokers. In the present case study, we discuss the periodontal outcomes of reparative and regenerative surgical treatment in a cannabis consumer patient with generalized stage III grade C periodontitis.
