Optimising titanium implant stability and infection resistance through iron nanoparticle coatings: A preclinical investigation.

Background: Attaining adequate osseointegration and mitigating infections are paramount issues in implantology, especially within dental and orthopaedic domains. Titanium implants have been utilised for their biocompatibility and mechanical strength; yet, problems such as peri‑implant infections and inadequate bone integration may undermine their efficacy. Coating titanium implants with iron nanoparticles (FeNp) has surfaced as a promising approach to improve osseointegration and antibacterial characteristics.

Objective: This prospective study aimed to evaluate the analgesic effects of acetaminophen and Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy for pain control.

Methods: Forty orthodontic patients who underwent fixed orthodontic treatment were randomly assigned to one of 3 groups: (1) acetaminophen, (2) TENS therapy, or (3) control. Pain was evaluated at 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours after the placement of both 0.

Effectiveness of mobile health intervention for non alcoholic fatty liver disease- A meta analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Lifestyle modification is the mainstay of management, however, most patients find it difficult to significantly modify their lifestyle. Mobile health is an innovative healthcare system that has an established role in treating chronic diseases like asthma, cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Dentists' knowledge and attitudes regarding PFPT: A single study in East Java, Indonesia.

Objective: Pigmented fungiform papillae of the tongue (PFPT) are infrequently encountered and inadequately documented pigmented lesions that pose challenges in diagnosis and subsequent treatment planning. The study was aimed at analyzing dentists' knowledge and attitudes regarding PFPT morphologies, to determine diagnosis and subsequent treatment planning.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among dentists in East Java through an online questionnaire.

Autologous Concentrate Growth Factor for the Treatment of Endo-Perio Lesion - A Case Report.

Introduction: The success of a combined periodontal and endodontic lesion depends on the elimination of both these disease processes. In the case of a combined endo-perio lesion, endodontic therapy results in healing of the endodontic component of involvement, while the prognosis of teeth would finally depend on the healing of the periodontal structure.

Treatment: This case report evaluates the efficacy of autologous fibrin glue and bone graft, that is, sticky bone in the management of bone defects associated with endo-perio lesion.

Chronic Traumatic Ulcer: A Case Report.

Chronic traumatic ulcers (CTUs) of the oral cavity are frequently brought on by repeated mechanical stress, such as biting or friction from dental appliances, or sharp or broken carious teeth. Although they are frequently disregarded, patients with nonhealing ulcers in the mouth should have CTUs taken into consideration. This report highlights the significance of differential diagnosis and suitable treatment options by discussing a case of a CTU that persisted on the tongue's right lateral border.

Cryotherapy Treatment Effect on Heat-Treated Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) Rotary Single-File System: An In Vitro Comparative Study by Finite Element Analysis.

Background The use of endodontic files multiple times can cause fatigue in them and can lead to their separation in the root canal. The purpose of this study was to achieve a reduction in cyclic fatigue stress in a newly introduced nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary single-file system. The study aimed to determine whether cryotherapy could help reduce cyclic fatigue and stress on rotary files after multiple uses during root canal treatment.
