Periodontal disease stands the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. While scaling and root planning is considered the "gold standard" treatment, it is often insufficient in efficiently eliminating anaerobic bacteria from deep periodontal pockets. In this work, an antibiotic-free and photo-curing hyaluronic acid-Janus (H-Janus) antibacterial pack was developed to inhibit the growth and colonization of residual bacteria within the pockets for reducing the recurrence of periodontitis.

Article Synopsis
  • Periodontal surgery often requires dressings for protection and healing, with common options like noneugenol packs having drawbacks such as plaque buildup and minimal healing benefits.
  • Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membranes promote faster healing due to their growth factors but typically require sutures for stability.
  • This case report explores the use of PRF membranes combined with N-butyl cyanoacrylate adhesive as a promising alternative to traditional dressings, potentially eliminating the need for suturing.

The permanence of deep subgingival restorations are questionable both functionally and biologically. Crown lengthening is one of the traditionally performing procedures to visualize and relocate the deep margins, but the limitations of the invasive surgical procedure are anatomical complications like exposure of root concavities or furcation, violation of biological width, post operative discomfort because of sutures or periodontal packs; and less patient compliance. Other than crown lengthening, researchers tried some other techniques like modified matrix adaptation technique, using retraction cord, making holes in matrix band and flowing resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) to the root or cervical caries, orthodontic extrusion.

Introduction: There is a rising need for controlling postendodontic pain (PEP) without using analgesics and other conventional methods.

Aims: The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of various cryotherapy applications on controlling PEP in patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis.

Methods: One hundred and eight patients were selected and preoperative pain and pain on percussion scores were recorded using Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS), respectively.

Background: There is a dearth of studies to assess the effectiveness of cryotherapy as a possible adjuvant in anesthesia. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the impact of pretreatment intraoral ice packs, application of Endo-ice, and a combination of Endo-ice and intrapulpal ice sticks use on the effectiveness of pulpal anesthesia as an adjunct in the management of pain and dental anxiety in mandibular second molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) against traditional inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) technique.

Materials And Methods: The randomized controlled double-blind clinical study comprised of 200 subjects within the age group of 20-45 years with SIP involving mandibular second molars and divided into four groups of 50 each.
