It is with this in mind that we proposed to explore other therapeutic avenues to try to provide other solutions through traditional African medicine. The Aim of the Study: To evaluate the haemostatic and healing activity of a Vernonia conferta-based gel on postextractional wounds induced in Wistar rats. Methodology: An experimental study was conducted over a period of eight months during 2021 at the multidisciplinary laboratory of Galenic Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Legislation of the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences of the University of Yaoundé 1. A gel formulation test carried out in standard proportions for a 2% concentration such as the Elugel reference gel used as a positive control. To evaluate the haemostatic and healing activity, we made up three batches of five female wistar rats with a body mass of between 100 and 130 grams, acclimatised for three days before the experiment. This test consisted of performing an avulsion of the central incisor in the rat and then applying our active principle for 5 successive days on one of the batches and our reference gel on the other batch, while the last batch will be under observation receiving no treatment and considered as a negative control. The observation was carried out during 14 days while respecting the feeding conditions of the animals. The haemostatic activity was evaluated using a stopwatch or we took the bleeding time after tooth extraction in the constituted batches. The healing activity was evaluated by taking a tissue sample from the extraction site on days 3, 7 and 14 for histological analysis. Results: The aqueous extract-based gel, made in standard proportions at a 2% concentration like the reference gel used as a positive control, stopped bleeding almost instantly, and clot formation occurred within 1-3 minutes after application. As for the healing activity, the batch of rats that received our test gel showed a rapid re-epithelialization observed on day 14ème, testifying to the restitution of the tissue injured during avulsion. Conclusion: The adhesion of Vernonia conferta aqueous leaf gel to the post-extraction alveolar mucosa in vivo in wistar rats has a favourable profile, as it allows faster haemostasis and accelerated healing.","PeriodicalId":263229,"journal":{"name":"Oral Health and Dental science","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128747440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different therapeutic methods are available for the treatment of these pathologies: Splints, physical therapies, occlusal therapies, surgery or pharmacological treatments. The objective of our work is to analyze the clinical effectiveness of analgesics in the treatment of disorders of the masticatory apparatus by applying the Evidence approach Based Dentistry. Methods: The collection of data from the literature scientific was carried out among the production that appeared during the period from 2011 to 2021. The documentary research was carried out using accessible databases via the Internet namely MEDLINE, ELSEVIER and Cochrane Database of Systematic through their PubMed, Science Direct and Cochrane library search engines, as well as the website Google Scholar. A bottom-up manual search covering the same study period was carried out in order to enrich our bibliography. The writing of this systematic review followed the guidelines of the PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). Results: 9 relevant randomized clinical trials were selected after critical reading guided by the CASP type reading grids. The items have been listed in 4 categories according to the route of administration of the analgesics (topical route, oral, intramuscular route and intra-articular route) and classified in tables according to the PICO criteria (Participants/Interventions/Comparison/Results “Outcomes”). The results of our study show a significant reduction in the intensity of the pain and the rates of cytokines as well as a significant increase in maximum mouth opening. Conclusion: The use of analgesics increases the efficacy of treatment by decreasing pain intensity and cytokine levels, through both their analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions. This efficacy is similar for both levels II and III. However, additional long-term clinical studies with a larger sample size are needed to confirm the data collected and to further explore the effect of analgesics in the treatment of TMDs.","PeriodicalId":263229,"journal":{"name":"Oral Health and Dental science","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114896154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim: The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the amount of the adhesive remnants, enamel fracture as well as bracket fracture after application of different volatile oils at different time of application using ARI system. Material and Method: Polycarbonate brackets reinforced with ceramic filler were bonded to one hundred and eighty (180) sound extracted human premolars using Transbond XT light curing adhesive. The teeth were then distributed into five groups. Teeth were then de-bonded using the Instron Universal Testing Machine. The enamel surface of debonded teeth and their bracket bases were examined under the stereomicroscope SEM for adhesive remnants (ARI), enamel fracture and bracket fracture. Result: At 5 minutes of application, no significant difference was noticed among volatile oils in all the qualitative results including; adhesive remnants, enamel fracture and bracket fracture. At 5 minutes of application, the peppermint volatile oil exhibited the highest percentage (55%) of score 1 whereas the clove oil revealed the least percentage (15%). At 30 minutes of application, the black seed exhibited the least percentage of score 1 and the highest percentage of score 2 (75%). At 5 minutes, the peppermint oil showed the least brackets fracture (20%) whereas the clove oil was in the second rank (25%) and the mixture of peppermint oil with black seed oil revealed the highest (55%). At 30 minutes, the clove oil showed the least bracket fracture (5%) whereas peppermint oil was in the second rank (20%) and the black seed oil depicted the highest percentage (45%). Conclusion: The present study supported that the 5- minutes of peppermint as well as the black seed volatile oil applications can be considered the best debonding agents whereas the clove oil can be used as a medication or mouthwash before debonding. The latter approach worth further investigations.","PeriodicalId":263229,"journal":{"name":"Oral Health and Dental science","volume":"44 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132078809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dentists are also responsible for supportive care and prosthetic rehabilitation of oral cancer patients undergoing treatment. However, more work is required on the clinical significance of quality of life for oral cancer patients. Few reviews have been conducted on the clinical significance of oral health related quality of life in oral cancer patients and hence there is minimal guidance on the support these patients need. Methods: An electronic search was conducted on Google Scholar, PubMed, Biomedical central, JSTOR and Oxford Academic databases between October 2020 and November 2021 using the keywords “oral cancer”, “oral health related quality of life” and “clinical significance”. The search was limited to dental journals and MEDLINE and the information was extracted using the PRISMA guidelines. Results: Nine articles out of eighty-eight were found to be most relevant and were included in the analysis. Surgery has had significantly (p<0.05) positive effects on the oral health related quality of life of oral cancer patients than patients who received radiotherapy. However, microvascular surgery seemed to negatively affect the quality of life than local reconstruction. Xerostomia was worst in patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy, then those patients who only had oral surgery.
