Epstein pearls are small; harmless those appear in the baby’s mouth during the first weeks and months of development. It is also known as a gingival cyst a type of cyst of the jaws that originates from the dental lamina. Some researchers recently prefer to use Palatal cysts of the newborn instead of Epstein’s pearls. These bumps contain Creatine, a protein found naturally in human skin, hair, and nails. Epstein’s pearls disappear spontaneously within a few weeks of the baby’s birth and there is nothing to worry about...... ReadMore

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign non/neo plastic mococutanous lesion . It is a reactional response to constant minor trauma and can be related to hormonal changes. Several methods can be applied to remove PG like surgery electrocauterisation and laser treatment. We report our experience for the treatment of two cases with pyogenic granuloma with diode laser 980 nm. Patients reported no pain or swelling after the treatment. The wounds were completely healed without scarring, providing good aesthetic results. Diode laser 980 nm is a good modality for the management of pyogenic granuloma...... ReadMore

AbstractBackground: Covid-19 global pandemic ravaged health and wealth of people in developed and developing countries crippling health care systems and economies across the globe. Despite countries resuming normalcy powered by mass scale immunization drives after battling sinister waves of Covid-19 epidemics, its pervasive impact is yet to be fully explored. Early childhood caries (ECC) ranks top among the leading chronic childhood diseases especially among high risk toddlers and children in developing countries and disadvantaged minority groups in developed countries. Covid-19 induced interruptions into preventive oral health care services compounded by lock-down related life-style changes fostering unhealthy dietary patterns were common scenarios in those troubled times. Against this backdrop, present ..... ReadMore

Aim: To describe complication management following regenerative endodontics. Introduction: Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) are aimed to treat apical periodontitis and promote root maturation of immature necrotic teeth. Recently it was shown that REP may arrest inflammatory external root resorption (IERR) in replanted avulsed teeth. The purpose of this study is to describe a complication of REP in which IERR had been developed after REP treatment. Root Canal Treatment (RCT) using bio ceramic materials helped to arrest the IERR. Methods: An eight-and-a-half-year-old girl was referred for treatment after avulsion of tooth #9 which has been splinted in a hospital for 2 weeks. After thorough examination tooth #9 was diagnosed as having necrotic pulp with symptomatic apical periodontitis. The tooth wa..... ReadMore

Dentigerous cysts are epithelial in origin and most common odontogenic cysts. They are usually asymptomatic and hence diagnosed on radiological examination. The standard treatment for these cysts is enucleation and extraction of the affected teeth. This is a case report of a 6-year-old female patient with dentigerous cyst associated with a primary molar. The cyst was enucleated and unerupted premolars were removed from the lower left region. The patient was given a fixed functional band and loop post- surgical treatment. No recurrence was observed after 6months follow up...... ReadMore

Cyst is a pathological cavity that is filled with fluid or semifluid, limited by the epithelium, or not and can cause intraoral and extraoral enlargement which can clinically resemble a benign tumor (Neville et al, 2002). Cysts are classified into 3 major groups, namely cysts on the jaw, cysts associated with the maxillary antrum, and soft tissue cysts on the face, face and neck. Odontogenic cysts arethe most common form of cystic lesions affecting the maxillofacial region [1]. Dentigerous cysts can occur at any age, but most cases of these cysts occur at the age of approximately 20 years. Males are more frequently affected than females and are mostly associated with impacted mandibular third molars, first and second premolars and canines. Dentigerous cysts are usually asymptomatic and are mostly diagnosed by routine radiographs. Patients..... ReadMore

Pain is considered as the fifth vital sign in modern medical practice. Hence apart from other vital parameters, evaluation of pain has become a primary and necessary requirement for proper patient care and comfort. Septorhinoplasty is an elective and ambulatory surgical procedure which involves massive hard and soft tissue manipulation in the nasal region of the face. The postoperative pain is severe in septorhinoplasty since it necessitates to operate on the nasal cartilage and bone [1]. This postoperative pain is often disturbing, distressing and requires efficient pain control management [2]. Severe postoperative pain can lead to complications such as delayed wound healing, ischemia, thromboembolism, pulmonary complications, immunological changes, increased hospitaliza tion and cost of treatment [3,4]. In this quest to provide effectiv..... ReadMore

Purpose: Patients with prosthesis-equipped post-implantation prosthesis performance were continuously observed, revealing the association of marginal bone loss with gender and age implant success and survival rates during a 1year study of clinical prosthesis placement; with results used as a reference for implant procedures and prognosis. Methods: This study was conducted on 31 patients from January to February 2021 at Y Dental Hospital in Gwangju, with 20 men and 11 women equipped with prosthetics after implant procedure a year earlier. The subjects of the study were carried out with the G-power program, and 31 subjects were extracted. The distance from the shoulder of the implant to the attachment point of the dichotomous bone was measured at the center of the area of atrophy, checking both from the mesial region to the distal region us.....

Periodontal disease is a type of bacterial infectious disease that causes bone destruction and supportive fibers of periodontal tissues. It seems the prevalence of this disease is more common in adults and would increase during pregnancy. Researchers believe hormonal changes are the main factors of developing this disease. Inflammation or infection of the gums increases the risk of low birth weight and preterm birth. If the problem is left untreated, mothers who would experience severe oral infections and gingival bleeding during the pregnancy would be at a greater risk for preterm birth...... ReadMore
