    • Surgical excision of pyogenic granuloma along with coronally advanced flap in maxillary esthetic region: a case report.
      Abstract: Pyogenic granuloma is a common form of inflammatory hyperplasia occurring in the oral cavity. Its etiological factors are often associated with underlying irritants such as local irritation, traumatic injury, or hormonal influences (including puberty, menstruation, and pregnancy), although the exact etiopathogenesis remains uncertain. Clinically, it presents as an exophytic lesion with either a pedunculated or sessile base and a smooth or lobulated surface. Given the limited literature on the management of residual gingival defects, the present case report not only outlines the diagnosis and treatment of pyogenic granuloma but also highlights the immediate and successful management of the residual gingival defect in the esthetic zone using a coronally advanced flap. Healing was uneventful and satisfactory at 10 days, with excellent coverage of the mucogingival defect, good gingival esthetics, and normal sulcus depth observed. No complications were noted during follow-up periods at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.

        • Integration Of 3d Printing and Virtual Surgical Planning in Orthognathic Surgery: A Contemporary Review
          Abstract:To improve the planning and outcome of orthognathic surgery 3D computed assisted technology can be used.3D printing technology has gained a widespread popularity as a variety of patient specific surgical guides and devices has been designed using this method. 3D-printed models and surgical guides provide a more profound comprehension of complex craniofacial anatomy and spatial interactions than conventional techniques.

            • Thr Regenerative Edge-Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin And Standard Platelet Rich Fibrin Following Third Molar Surgery
              Abstract: Background: One of the most frequent minor oral surgical operations is the disimpaction of the mandibular third molar. PRF, or platelet-rich fibrin, is essential for the healing of both soft and hard tissues. PRF comes in a variety of variants that are applied to different surgical locations.
              Objectives: The goal of this study is to compare and assess how well Advanced PRF (A-PRF) and Standard PRF (S-PRF) promote the healing of surgical sites following the extraction of mandibular third molars. Changes in mouth opening, discomfort, and edema were assessed.
              Materials and Method: 50 patients (25 patients for standard PRF & 25 Patients for Advanced PRF) were chosen to have their unilateral impacted mandibular third molar teeth extracted irrespective of type of impaction. A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to quantify postoperative pain, the distance between several facial landmarks was used to determine postoperative swelling, and mouth opening was measured inter-incisally on the first, third, and seventh postoperative days, respectively.
              Result: Overall, Advanced PRF Group demonstrated significantly lower severity of swelling,pain (p-value < 0.001). compared to Standard PRF Group at all time intervals, indicating better control and faster resolution of swelling in Advanced PRF Group.
              Conclusion:When compared to the Standard Platelet rich Fibrin group, the Advanced Platelet rich Fibrin group displayed reduced swelling, discomfort, and increased mouth opening.
