The Effect of Magnesium and Zinc Lozenge on Postoperative Sequelae after Third Molar Surgery: A Prospective Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study
Abstract: Background: The postoperative sequelae after third molar surgery include pain, swelling and trismus, Magnesium has antinociceptive effects that can prevent central sensitization caused by peripheral nociceptive stimulation by blocking the N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptors, Zinc acts as anti-inflammatory agent, can promote wound healing, immune system modulation, tissue repair, and significant reduction in the use of analgesics for oral pain. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Magnesium and Zinc …

Neurosensory Deficits after Third Molar Removal Surgery
Abstract: The most severe complication after the removal of mandibular third molars is injury to the inferior alveolar nerve or the lingual nerve. But, many patients still require the surgical removal of their impacted third molars to control infection and pain. These complications are rare and most of them are transient. This paper explains the relative risk of damage to the inferior alveolar and lingual nerves in patients who are undergoing …

Protraction Of Mandibular Third Molar with Mini-Implants: A Case Report of a Preventive Strategy
Abstract: Abstract: This report outlines the orthodontic management of a 22-year-old female presenting with bimaxillary protrusion and a mandibular second molar (teeth #37 &47) with failed root canal treatment and deep caries respectively. To address the edentulous space left by the non-restorable second molar, Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) were precisely positioned in the buccal alveolar bone between the roots of the second premolar and first molar. These TADs ensured firm anchorage …

Extraction of Impacted Lower 3rd Molars immediately after the Single Visit Endodontic treatment of 2nd Molar - A Case Series
Abstract: Patients who visit a dental clinic often anticipate fewer appointments and quicker recovery times. This expectation is particularly relevant when discussing impacted lower third molars in conjunction with decayed second molars. Dentists often struggle with the decision of whether to start endodontic treatment on the second molar or to proceed with extracting the third molar. This dilemma arises due to the absence of sufficient research or documentation specifically addressing the …

Restoration with Biological Crown as a Viable Alternative – Two Case Reports
Abstract: Carious exposure sometimes rules out the option of restoration where comes the need for root canal treatment with subsequent replacement of the coronal structure with post-core and artificial crown. But if the molars are destructed severely and the patient also has an impacted molar, crown of that impacted molar can be used as biological crown and can be successfully cemented on the prepared tooth. Dental fragment obtained through natural, extracted …

Unilateral Transmigrated Canines with Associated Pathologies in Mandible: a Case Report
Abstract: Pre-eruptive migration of the tooth across the midline is termed “transmigration”. Tooth impaction is a common dental condition frequently reported in the literature. The most commonly impacted teeth were reported as third molars, maxillary canines, maxillary central incisors, and premolars. Canine play an important role in aesthetics and function in human dentition. Transmigration is defined as the migration of impacted tooth crossing the midline to the opposite side of the …

Single Unilocular Radiolucent Cyst in the Angle of Mandible of a Young Man: A Case Report
Abstract: The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a noncancerous cyst that develops from the remaining cells of the odontogenic epithelium. The para-keratinised variant of OKC tends to be aggressive and recurrent. It has an array of features mimicking a variety of cysts that make the correlation of clinical, radiologic, and histopathological analysis necessary for definitive diagnosis and treatment planning. This is a case report of a 25-year-old male patient presenting with extra …

Dental Pulp Stem Cells Derived from Wisdom Teeth as Multitarget Biological Modulators of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease: Mechanistic Insight and Translational Perspective
Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease are chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorders with complex pathogenic pathways such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, synaptic degeneration, and reduced neurotrophic signalling. Despite the large amount of research, the pharmacological treatments in use offer only symptomatic relief and cannot significantly prevent or slow down disease progression sufficiently; new pathogenetic treatment strategies are necessary. In recent years, stem cell-based approaches have gained interest as potential therapeutic …
