Coronally advanced flap (CAF) is a successful technique for its ease of performing and predictable outcome. Guided tissue regeneration membrane such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and human chorion membrane (CM) enhances periodontal regeneration. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate and compare the efficacy of human CM and PRF with CAF in Miller's class I and II recession defect. Materials and Methods: A total of 14 patients (28 sites) with Miller's class I and II recession defect were assigned and randomly allocated to CM group (Group I) and PRF group (Group II). Clinical parameters recorded were recession depth (RD), recession width (RW), clinical attachment level (CAL), and width of keratinized gingiva (WKG) before surgery. Recession coverage by CAF technique with either CM or PRF was done, and all parameters were again recorded after 1, 3, and 6 months of surgery. Results: Significant decreases were seen from baseline to 6 months' follow-up in both groups regarding RD and RW. WKG was increased in both groups. However, CAL showed statistically significant improvement only in group I and nonsignificant improvement in group II (P = 0.420) at 6 months' follow-up. Conclusion: Both the CM and PRF are effective materials in root coverage, but CM has some amount of better result and long-time stability compared to PRF.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"159 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135311290","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}

The close proximity with the patients during oral examination and treatment is added risk for this infection. Therefore, dentists are recommended to wear mask for prolonged period of time. However, prolonged mask wearing (PMW) leads to various adverse side effects. Hence, the present study is undertaken to identify adverse effects due to PMW among dentists during COVID-19. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was designed to enquire about the adverse effects of PMW during COVID-19. The digital questionnaire was circulated among 1000 dentists via mail and WhatsApp, and the data were obtained within 30 days. Results: The results indicated that prolonged wearing of mask led to suffocation along with intermittent mouth breathing. Dentists, who wore ear-supported mask or head-supported masks, experienced ear pain and redness of skin behind ear, itching and prickly heat, and dryness of mouth and nose. Other ill effects such as fogging and malpositioning of spectacles, speaking loudly, difficulty in hearing, headache, and tension in muscles of mastication were also noted. Conclusion: The study recommends intermittent breaks during work and appropriate measures to prevent the ill effects of PMW for self-care of dentists during this pandemic.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"10 1","pages":"24 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46270768","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}

Nowadays, physical examination, auxiliary inspection, and clinical history serve as the main pillars of diagnosis. Priority should be given in hemangioma treatment to functional harm brought on by the treatment, which may lead to a worsening of the patient's current condition and may pose a threat to the patient's life. This shows that early diagnosis, identification, and referral to specialists are critical steps in reducing associated problems and improving prognosis.

After observation of 1 month for each tooth, preformed stainless steel crowns (SSCs) were placed on all three PFMs in a diagonal manner for minimizing occlusal discomfort. The remaining PFM (36), restored earlier by another dentist, developed a dentoalveolar abscess during the course; the same was treated endodontically and a coronal seal was established with an SSC. A quadrant approach was adopted to complete extractions of all carious primary teeth along with the treatments of PFMs during the same appointments to minimize the number of visits.

This study aimed to assess the practice of photography documentation among dental students and dental practitioners in Riyadh using a cross-sectional observational study.

The sample included dental students (5th and 6th year), dental interns, postgraduate residents, and specialists. Frequency distribution and Chi-square tests were performed to compare the participant's responses. Results: A total of 218 dental practitioners were completed a structured, self-administered online questionnaire. The majority of the participants were dental interns and specialists, and more than 70% had 10 years or less of experience. Eighty-six percentage study participants reported using photography in their practices. Mobile phones were the most commonly used devices among dental practitioners. Conclusions: The results of the current study showed that the majority of dental practitioners believed that photography is essential in modern dental practice.
