Purpose: The current study aimed to assess the difference in the clinical outcome of the removal of gingival hyperpigmentation and patient satisfaction of different techniques used for gingival depigmentation, namely; scalpel surgical technique, laser therapy, and vitamin C injection. Subject and methods: A total of thirty patients with gingival hyperpigmentation were included in this study. They were randomly divided into three equivalent groups to be managed with different gingival depigmentation techniques. Group I (control group; n = 10) involved patients treated with the scalpel surgical technique using scalpel 15. Group II (test group 1; n = 10) involved patients treated with diode laser. Group III (test group 2; n = 10) involved patients treated through Ascorbic acid injections. All patients were followed up with for 3 months. Clinically, pain was evaluated for each patient by using visual analog scale (VAS), Calculation of surface area of gingival pigmentation and re-pigmentation was assessed. Calculation of darkness value of gingiva using Image J intensity was assessed. Results: Laser and Ascorbic acid groups showed less pain at the surgical site and with the follow up, all three groups showed no sign of re-pigmentation after 3 months. Conclusion: The aesthetic effects of these three alternative treatments were outstanding and comparable, according to the current study with significant difference statically in pain perception, intensity darkness value and insignificant difference statically in re-pigmentation after 3 months follow up.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of topically controlled release simvastatin with dental implant in type II diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: Sixteen diabetic type II patients with missing teeth were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided randomly into two groups using flip coin method. Group I (test group): 8 patients underwent implant placement for missed tooth with controlled released simvastatin around the implant. Group II (control Group): 8 patients underwent implant placement for missed tooth without controlled released simvastatin around the implant. All patients were followed up clinically and radio-graphically for 6 months postoperatively after implant placement. Results: The use of Simvastatin controlled release gel with delayed dental implants decrease postoperative pain and swelling Conclusion: This research showed that the drug delivery system of controlled release simvastatin improve the repair and healing of bone and soft tissue around dental implant in diabetic type II patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to see if treated dentin matrix paste (TDMP) alone and treated dentin matrix (TDM) powder combined with stem cells derived from bone marrow (BMMSCs) could induce the formation of calcific barrier after direct pulp capping procedures. Materials and methods: In this study 18 posterior teeth in 9 New Zealand white rabbits were involved and simple randomization design was used. All of the experimental teeth were subjected to direct pulp capping procedures. Eighteen teeth were divided into 3 groups, each one consisted of 6 teeth. In group I, calcium hydroxide (CH) was used, while TDMP and TDM powder impregnated with BMMSCs were used in group II and group III respectively. Modified glass ionomer was used as a sealing restoration. After four weeks, animals were euthanized and experimental teeth were demineralized and processed for histological examination to see if a hard tissue barrier was formed. Results: TDMP presented the best results where a continuous reparative dentin bridge with homogenous tubular structure was formed. On the other hand, CH stimulated the formation of non-continuous irregular hard tissue masses while seeding BMMSCs on TDM powder resulted in defect closure with a bone like material and dentin like islands were formed inside the adjacent pulp. Conclusion: pulp capping with TDMP without adding stem cells from other sources like bone marrow is more effective in producing a high quality dentin bridge through its effect in stimulating the resident cells inside the pulp.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of mandibular posterior edentulous area rehabilitation by fixed implant-supported prosthesis with or without use of Hyaluronic Acid Gel loaded with Simvastatin. Subjects and methods: Twelve implants were inserted in mandibular posterior edentulous region that required rehabilitation with fixed implant-supported prosthesis were included in this study. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Group A; the edentulous sites were treated by 6 implants which were inserted with the application of Hyaluronic acid (HA) gel loaded with Simvastatin (SMV) in the drilling site. Group B; Six dental implants were placed in edentulous sites without the use of HA gel containing SMV. The clinical follow-up was done at three and six months, whereas the radiographic follow-up was done at three and twelve months. Treatment changes were evaluated for each group and a comparison was done between the 2 groups. Data were analyzed to assess difference and association of qualitative variable by Chi square test (X 2 ), paired by sign test and Differences between quantitative independent groups by paired t test. Results: Radiographically; at 3 and 12 months, there was a statistically significant difference in bone density between two groups. While, there was no statistically significant difference in implant stability between two groups immediately and after 3months. Conclusion: Application of HA gel loaded with SMV around dental implant improves the implant stability and bone density around the implant which enhances the osseointegration of implant.
