The aim of this study is to evaluate the mechanical tensile strength for control and specification of three collagen membranes, cross-linked and non-cross-linked, as well as their stress–strain curve. The treatment of sequelae caused by destruction of the periodontal structure resulting from periodontal disease, especially the treatment of alveolar bone defects, known as guided bone regeneration (GBR), is generally aimed at restoring the periodontal insertion apparatus, with the possibility of structural support of membranes and/or barrier, and has been widely studied. Depending on the reaction to their biological environment, membranes can be grouped into two types: resorbable membranes, which, due to biological degradation, induce a tissue response that can negatively affect wound healing and complicate regeneration; and non-resorbable membranes, which have proven to be effective in preventing the invasion of connective and epithelial tissue in the healing area. Resorbable membranes have a high potential for application in periodontal and peri implant regeneration, which indicates collagen as the main extracellular component involved in processes, including cell migration and differentiation. Descriptive statistics of quantitative variables were made by calculating the mean, standard deviation, and standard error; the number of observations was also considered. Statistical inference was applied based on one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in the comparison of means in three types of membranes (Bioguide, Jason, and Lumina Dermal) for four dependent variables: elastic modulus (GPa), maximum load (N), breaking stress (MPa), and breaking strain (%). The mechanical characteristics of collagen membranes can be influenced by the action of glutaraldehyde, creating a cross-linking structure in the collagen matrix, thereby substantially increasing the mechanical properties of the membrane; on the other hand, this also increases cytotoxicity. Otherwise, the search for natural collagen membranes with good fixation properties is difficult, due to membrane standardization. Nonetheless, through dimensional and mechanical measurements, it is possible to mechanically qualify collagen membranes and compare them. When assessing the physical stress and tensile properties of the three membranes, high levels of mechanical strength were observed, especially in the Lumina Dermal membrane by Criteria Biomateriais, which presents higher rates based on the methodologies and tests applied, mainly when compared to other samples.

Background: Until now, there has been a lack of comprehensive evaluation to establish the extent to which parental stress affects children's oral health, such as the occurrence of dental caries. This study aimed to explore the relationship between parental stress and early childhood caries (ECC). Objective: The objective of this review was to evaluate the association between ECC development and stress-related factors, including parental stress. Method: A comprehensive web-based search identified 12 studies that examined parental stress and Early Childhood Caries. Results: The research examined several areas related to parenting, including satisfaction with parenting, parenting-related stress, the parent-child relationship, and specific parenting practices. Out of 12 studies, 10 studies showed that there is a correlation between parental stress and the occurrence of early childhood caries, and 2 studies showed there is no association. Conclusions: The systematic review focuses on the work of researchers who have studied parental stress and how it is related to the occurrence of early childhood caries. A consistent association between parental attitude and oral health outcomes in children has been demonstrated by these studies. Despite several studies on the relationship between parental stress and early childhood caries (ECC), the overall literature is limited by methodological constraints that hinder the ability to establish a causal link between parental stress and ECC. Further study is also needed to advance our current understanding of the association of Early Childhood Caries and Parental Stress

Periodontics is a dynamic profession characterized by complex treatment planning and a diverse spectrum of treatment modalities ranging from traditional to novel treatments. It is a separate branch of dentistry that allows for both tooth preservation and effective implant-based tooth replacement. The future of periodontics is promising and exciting, but it is unlikely to happen without major effort and obstacles.

Aim: To find out the utilization and efficacy of menthol crystal and its vapor in Jamaica since the validating clinical trial for its use in the prevention and cure of COVID-19 and by extension utilize by extrapolation and mathematical modeling the possible effect of its utilization on the hospitalization, morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. Method: The aim of this paper is to utilize a purposefully designed questionnaire called the Menthol crystal utilization questionnaire which is to be completed by pharmacists in Montego Bay Jamaica, and to be subjected to statistical analysis so as to appreciate at a glance whether there has been an increase in the usage of menthol crystal through purchases after a clinical trial designed to validate the use of menthol as a drug or chemical substance that can prevent the acquisition of COVID-19 and that also cure the early diagnosed COVID-19. This questionnaire-based research also looks into whether menthol crystal is a prescription drug in Jamaica or not and additionally it is designed to evaluate the complications and side effects if any following the use if menthol during the pandemic. The statistical outcome was then subjected to mathematical model for efficacy function of sale volume and the period of menthol crystal utilization for the treatment and control of COVID-19. Conclusion: All the respondent pharmacies declared that menthol crystals are not a prescription medical substance. They all also responded that there has been an increase usage of menthol by customers, which is identified by an unusually high, though variable increase in purchase ranging from 10-20% to 90-100. None of these respondents identified any side effect or complication following the use of menthol crystal.

Trigeminal neuralgia (NT), also known as Fortherghill's disease or Prosopalgia Dolorosa (LEITÃO & FIGUEIRÊDO, 1985), is a disease mainly affected by middle-aged women, characterized by paroxysms of pain, shock and burning. During an episode of pain, the muscles of the face go into a state of intense contraction. Treatments range from laser therapy, electro acupuncture, use of anticonvulsants to surgeries, indicated for patients with failed pharmacological therapy (30%) and those who had a good initial response but became refractory to treatment over time. The percutaneous procedures most used today are radiofrequency thermocoagulation, glycerol rhizolysis (MENESES et al., 1994) and balloon decompression (HOLZER et al., 1992). The objective of this work is to refer to the different types of treatments for the disease, through a literature review and a clinical case report.

The melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy is a benign but locally aggressive vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) producing neoplasm that originates from neural crest cells. It predominantly affects infants and is most common in the maxilla. Due the anatomical complexity of the head and neck region and the pathological nature of this tumor entity, the surgical therapeutic management poses considerable challenges upon surgeons and patients. The purpose of this article is to report a rare case of a rapidly growing mass, diagnosed as melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI), in the right maxilla in a 3-month-old boy which was treated by a radical local resection and followed up after one year without any clinical and radiographical signs of recurrence.

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a non-neoplastic benign lesion. CGCG can be treated by various modalities of which surgery is the most common treatment but have possible variable recurrence rates. Other treatment modalities like calcitonin and intralesional steroid have showed good long-term result in many clinical cases. As CGCG occurs commonly in young adults and children of less than 30 years, noon-surgical treatment is a better and least invasive option. The case of an 18-year-old Saudi female is represented with an aggressive mandible CGCG which has been treated with steroid intralesional injections on a weekly basis for six weeks that has been observed as a good treatment option for CGCG clinically.
