Liver Clot after Periodontal Surgery: A Rare Case Report.

Due to the primary closure of the fragile tissues, large postoperative drainage is unexpected following a periodontal medical procedure. This case study elaborately illustrates the formation of a "liver coagulation" or "currant jam clot" following a periodontal fold surgical operation. Contamination, internal damage, and the presence of foreign particles such as bone splinters or bits of dental restorative dressing can all increase the risk of an incident happening.

Intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injection versus hydrocortisone with local anesthetic injections for temporo mandibular disorders.

Disorders of temporomandibular joint (TMDs) are characterised by a variety of symptoms, including discomfort in the orofacial region, muscle tenderness, restricted jaw motion and noise at the joint. Additional neurological symptoms such as headaches, vertigo, heaviness, and altered vision may also coexist with TMDs. Because prostaglandin production is a critical mediator of inflammatory reaction and is inhibited by corticosteroids, they have anti-inflammatory effects.
