ABSTRACT Pediatric inguinal surgeries sometimes cause considerable post-operative pain that requires effective analgesics. Caudal and abdominal nerve blocks may help this population with pain. It is uncertain how successful they are compared. A randomized controlled trial included 70 pediatric inguinal surgery patients. An abdominal (ANB) or caudal nerve block (CNB) was randomly assigned to participants in addition to usual analgesic treatment. Post-operative pain was measured at various times using a standardized scale. The initial rescue analgesia time and dose were recorded. Statistics were used to compare CNB and ANB results. The CNB and ANB groups were demographically similar. At every time point, the two groups’ analgesic usage and post-operative pain were similar. No serious adverse events occurred in either group. CNB and ANB provide equivalent analgesia for pediatric inguinal surgeries. Both approaches alleviate pain well and have similar post-operative effects. Individual nerve block approaches must be chosen based on patient features and clinical considerations. More research is needed to determine each procedure’s long-term safety and results.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the variables affecting endodontic retreatment technique success. A 5-year period of 500 patient records from a dental clinic were examined. Pre-operative factors, procedure specifics, post-operative results, and demographic information were all documented. The study employed statistical analysis to determine the important factors that influence retreatment success. The average age of the study group was 45.2 years, and 56% of the participants were female. Sixty-four percent of patients had multiple root canals, and the most frequent initial diagnosis (60%) was apical periodontitis. The results of the surgery varied: 50% of patients had full healing, 30% had partial healing, and 20% had no improvement at all. Significant indicators of retreatment success were found to include age, initial diagnosis, and root canal morphology (P < 0.05). The effectiveness of endodontic retreatment operations is mostly influenced by age, apical periodontitis, and root canal morphology. Optimizing treatment results requires individualized treatment techniques based on each patient’s unique features. Clinicians can benefit greatly from these findings in terms of increasing endodontic retreatment success rates and enhancing patient care.

ABSTRACT Anesthesia administration in elderly surgical patients presents unique challenges due to age-related physiological changes and comorbidities. Knowing anesthesia-related complications is crucial for optimizing perioperative care in this vulnerable population. A retrospective review of electronic medical records was conducted to identify anesthesia-related complications in elderly subjects aged 65 and above undergoing surgery between January 2018 and December 2020. Data collection included demographic characteristics, comorbidities, anesthesia techniques, and postoperative outcomes. There were a total of 100 elderly patients. Cardiovascular events (35%) were the most common complication, followed by respiratory issues (20%) and adverse drug reactions (15%). Statistical analysis revealed significant associations between cardiovascular events, respiratory issues, adverse drug reactions, and anesthesia. Anesthesia-related complications pose significant risks in elderly surgical patients. Tailored anesthesia management strategies, including comprehensive preoperative assessment and vigilant intraoperative monitoring, are essential for mitigating perioperative risks and improving outcomes in this vulnerable population.

ABSTRACT Dental implant surgery has become a standard procedure for replacing missing teeth, boasting high success rates. However, complications can occur, affecting treatment outcomes. Understanding the nature and frequency of these complications is essential for optimizing patient care. To assess the prevalence and types of complications associated with dental implant surgery through retrospective research. Patient records were reviewed, focusing on demographics, medical history, surgical details, implant characteristics, and postoperative complications. Complications were categorized, and statistical analysis was performed to identify associations. Among 150 cases, infection (15.3%), implant failure (8.0%), and peri-implantitis (12.0%) were the most common complications. Complication rates varied significantly across age groups (P < 0.05), with younger patients experiencing higher rates. Complications in dental implant surgery, including infection, implant failure, and peri-implantitis, are prevalent. Age appears to influence complication rates. Strategies to mitigate complications and optimize treatment outcomes are crucial.

ABSTRACT Children’s knowledge of oral hygiene is very important to have a good oral health. Health education intervention is the best way to impart oral hygiene knowledge to children, which is cost-effective also. To evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching program in improving the existing oral hygiene knowledge of children in the age group of 10–12 years. A randomized control trial was planned with one intervention group and control group. A pre-intervention test was conducted in both the groups to assess baseline oral hygiene knowledge among children. After the pre-test, the intervention group children were educated through a structured teaching program for a period of 2 weeks. Again, post-test was conducted in both the groups after a gap of a week. The pre-intervention oral hygiene knowledge scores were 8.43 ± 3.93 in the intervention group and 8.44 ± 3.90 in the control group. Post intervention, the oral hygiene knowledge score was 15.34 ± 2.37 in the intervention group and 8.96 ± 1.37 in the control group. A 45.04% increase in knowledge was observed in the intervention group. The results were statistically highly significant (P < 0.05). A structured teaching program is an effective way to impart knowledge among school children; furthermore, long-term follow-up studies are needed to evaluate oral hygiene knowledge gained through the program.

ABSTRACT The selection criteria of implant is very critical. Implant length determines the mechanics of osseointegration. To investigate the influence of dental implant length on early failure rates, osseointegration success, peri-implant bone loss, and patient-reported outcomes. A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 124 participants who underwent dental implant placement. Implant lengths were categorized as short (n = 54), standard (n = 35), or long (n = 35) based on standard industry classifications. Baseline characteristics, implant lengths, and early failure rates within the first six months post-implantation were extracted from clinical records. Preliminary analysis revealed variations in early failure rates among different implant length categories. Short implants demonstrated a distinct pattern of complications compared to standard and long implants. Early failure rates were 8% for short implants, 4% for standard implants, and 2% for long implants (P = 0.04). Osseointegration success rates were 90%, 95%, and 98% for short, standard, and long implants, respectively. Peri-implant bone loss was 1.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 0.8 mm for short, standard, and long implants, respectively (P = 0.02). Patient-reported outcomes indicated higher satisfaction levels in the long implant group (P = 0.03). The study highlights the importance of considering implant length in clinical decision-making and suggests potential associations with osseointegration success, peri-implant bone loss, and patient satisfaction.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to look at how often premalignant oral diseases are among patients who visit a tertiary care center, as well as how often these problems progress to become mouth malignancies. Between 2017 and 2022, 200 patients at a tertiary care facility who were identified with premalignant oral lesions had their medical records retrospectively examined. Information on lesion features, histological results, and demographics was gathered. Statistical analysis was used to determine the prevalence of premalignant oral lesions and the rate at which these lesions turned into oral malignancies, with a significance threshold of P < 0.05. The research population’s mean age was 55 years (SD ± 10), with a 65% male preponderance. The most prevalent premalignant lesions were leukoplakia (45%), erythroplakia (30%), and oral submucous fibrosis (25%). Remarkably, during follow-up, 40% of patients showed development of premalignant lesions into mouth malignancies. Based on statistical analysis, there were significant correlations (P < 0.05) between dysplastic alterations, age, tobacco use, and the development of oral malignancies from premalignant lesions. In conclusion, this study highlights the need of early diagnosis and focused therapies in tertiary care settings by offering important insights into the occurrence and evolution of premalignant oral lesions. The results provide important information that may be used to create screening programs and preventive measures that will lessen the incidence of oral cancer.

ABSTRACT A common surgical technique for gallbladder disorders is laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), which has the benefits of less postoperative discomfort and quicker recovery. The purpose of this retrospective research was to assess postoperative outcomes and complications in patients having laparoscopic correction. In total, 200 patients who had LC at the tertiary care center between 2017 and 2022 were the subjects of a retrospective investigation. We gathered and examined data on preoperative conditions, surgical specifics, postoperative results, and demographics. Notable findings from the study were as follows: (1) The average age of the patients was 47.5 years (±12.3), and there were strong correlations (P < 0.001) between age and problems. (2) Significant correlations were found between many covariates and postoperative outcomes, such as a 10% readmission rate and a mean hospital stay of 3.6 days (±1.2) (P < 0.05). (3) Different relationships were seen between the complications (P values ranging from 0.021 to <0.001), including wound infections (6%) and bile duct injuries (2.5%). To enhance patient care, a thorough assessment and focused treatments are required. This study sheds light on the frequency of postoperative problems and outcomes in patients receiving LC.
