Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Resopac® in improving patient postoperative comfort and its effect on wound healing after extraction of impacted teeth.
Materials And Methods: A split mouth randomized controlled trial was conducted on 50 patients who required bilateral surgical removal of mandibular third molars. After completion of surgery, Resopac® was placed as intraoral dressing material on surgically sutured site (study site) and plain gauze pack on contralateral surgically sutured site (control site). Pain and wound healing were measured using VAS score and Landry's scale respectively on 1st, 2nd and 7th day postoperatively. Data were analysed, descriptive statistics, using paired -test for intragroup and independent -test for inter group analysis were done.
Results: There was statistically highly significant reduction in the post-surgical pain VAS scores from day 1 to day 7 in both study and control sites. The study site (with Resopac®) demonstrated significant reduction in post-operative pain when compared to control site (with Gauge pack) which was statistically highly significant (P < 000.1). On intragroup analysis, there was improvement in postoperative wound healing from day 1 to day 7 in both study and control sites which was statistically highly significant (P < 0.001). On intergroup analysis there was statistically highly significant difference noted between both the sites, with study site (with Resopac®) demonstrating excellent wound healing than control site when compared at 1st,2nd and 7th postoperative days (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Resopac® serve to be an effective role as an intraoral dressing after surgical removal of impacted teeth which improves patient comfort postoperatively by protecting the surgical wound, reducing the post-operative pain and enabling excellent wound healing.

Objectives: To assess the effect of patient positioning and general anesthesia on the condylar position in orthognathic surgery.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included patients undergoing orthognathic surgery between 2019 and 2020. Four weeks prior to surgery (T0) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and intra-oral scans (IOS) were acquired in an upright position.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of in situ acid erosion on the structural and optical properties of nanoparticulate bisacrylic resin with different surface treatments, evaluating surface roughness (Ra), knoop microhardness (KHN), color change (ΔE, ΔL, ΔC, ΔH), contrast (CR) and translucency (TP).
Methods: Eighty specimens were made (n = 10 per group) and the following surface treatments were applied: U-unpolished; A-polishing with Astropol rubber tips (Ivoclar); S-Biscover LV surface sealant (Bisco) and S-Palaseal surface sealant (kulzer). For the in situ experiment, 10 volunteers wore an intraoral appliance containing eight specimens (two specimens per experimental group), with only one specimen from each experimental group being subjected to the acid process.

Statement Of Problem: Intraoral scans can be articulated in maximum intercuspal position (MIP) by using an artificial intelligence (AI) based program; however, the impact of edentulous areas on the accuracy of the MIP located using this AI-based program is unknown.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the impact of edentulous areas (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 posterior mandibular teeth) on the accuracy of the MIP located using 3 intraoral scanners (IOSs) and an AI-based program.
Material And Methods: Stone casts articulated in MIP in an articulator were digitized (T710).
Thumb-sized 3D-Printed cymbal microneedle array (CyMA) for enhanced transdermal drug delivery.

Electronic address:
Transdermal drug delivery presents a compelling alternative to both needle injection and oral ingestion of medication, as it enhances patient adherence and convenience through its non-invasive and painless administration method. The use of microneedles penetrates the barrier of the stratum corneum, facilitating the sustained delivery of drugs across the skin. However, their efficacy has been limited by the slow diffusion of molecules and often requires external triggers.
