Recurrent Apthous Ulcers (RAU) has affected mankind through time immemorial. It is the most commonly prevalent oral mucosal lesion manifesting as painful ulcers involving non – keratinised oral mucosa. This review was done to assess herbal intervention in RAU patients for outcomes of ulcer size and pain intensity. Literature search of published articles in Medline, Scopus, Ovid and Journal of Web upto August 2020 were reviewed for the pre-described outcomes. Revman 5.4 software was used for study analysis. Total 9 articles were finally chosen for qualitative analysis. Meta analytic comparison demonstrated the ulcer reduction (CI =-2.22 to – 0.09; p <0.001) and pain intensity (CI =-4.60 to – 0.08; p <0.001) was reduced in the herbal group as compared to the controls. A definite evidence of herbal intervention was noted in alleviating RAU signs and symptoms. © 2021 National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery.
Primary Failure of Eruption: A Cause of Posterior Open Bite
(Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, 2019) Ganiga C. Shivakumar; Adit Srivastava; Sahana Shivakumar
Primary eruption failure is a poorly understood condition in which the teeth fail to erupt in oral cavity in absence of any local or systemic factors. First and second molars are most commonly affected but one or more number of teeth, primary or permanent can be partially or completely affected. The orthodontic or surgical methods to get such teeth in occlusion have failed miserably. The early diagnosis of primary eruption failure (PEF) will allow the dentist to accurately rehabilitate the patient without wasting any time on treatments which are bound to fail. © The Author(s). 2019.
