Background: Considering the clinical safety of acetaminophen over other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, this clinical trial was formulated to assess the analgesic efficacy of acetaminophen for controlling postextraction dental pain when compared to commonly prescribed ibuprofen.
Aim: The aim was to assess the analgesic efficacy of paracetamol/acetaminophen in postextraction dental pain.
Settings And Design: Double-blind, randomized prospective clinical trial.
Materials And Methods: A total of 30 patients requiring bilateral maxillary and mandibular premolar extraction for their orthodontic treatment were included in the study to evaluate the efficacy of acetaminophen in controlling postextraction dental pain.
Statistical Analysis Used: Unpaired t-test.
Results And Conclusions: Clinically, both the postoperative analgesics exerted similar pain control with minor variations of recorded visual analog scale scores by the patients in both the groups. It may be concluded from the findings of this study that paracetamol at a dosage of 500 mg thrice a day (1.5 g) is sufficient to achieve reliable pain control following exodontia provided the surgical trauma caused to the investing tissues is minimal.

Purpose: Elderly patients undergoing dental extraction are particularly susceptible to delayed cognitive recovery after sedation. This study aimed to compare the effects of remimazolam and midazolam on early postoperative cognitive recovery in elderly patients undergoing dental extraction.
Patients And Methods: This was a single-centre randomized controlled study with elderly patients scheduled for receiving dental extraction under sedation of remimazolam (Group R) or midazolam (Group M).

Replacing a hopeless molar with a dental implant is one of the most common treatment modalities in implant dentistry. However, immediate implant post-extraction in the posterior region requires managing the bone gap and ensuring primary closure of the socket. To address this anatomical consideration, several authors have proposed using a custom abutment to seal the socket after immediate implant placement, maintain soft tissue contour, and stabilize the surrounding tissues.

Background: Type I immediate implant placement has its own advantages like reduced treatment time, number of surgeries and post-extraction bone loss, however, the presence of insufficiently keratinized mucosa poses a challenge for flap adaptation and hinders the achievement of primary stability. Additionally, scientific evidence supports the notion that post-extraction bone loss is a natural biological occurrence that can impact the success of treatments.
Objectives: The primary outcome was to find out the hard and soft tissues changes around the implant following immediate placement and immediate loading.
