Abstract: Background: Behaviour management is an integral part of Pediatric Dentistry. Fearful patients can prove to be a hassle to treat. Conscious Sedation (CS) is an emerging tool that makes it easy to treat such patients. Nitrous oxide sedation is pivotal in reducing stress and anxiety in children and thus promises better clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: A close-ended questionnaire was designed to assess knowledge and awareness of Conscious Sedation among general dental practitioners of Ahmedabad city. Questionnaires were provided to the participants via e-mail and physical printed versions to those participants who resided in the city. Results: The age range of participants.......

Abstract: Acute cholecystitis accounts for 14–30% of cholecystectomies [1] and is defined as an inflammation of the gallbladder, usually caused by cystic duct obstruction [2]. The most common causes of cystic duct obstruction are gallstones and cholestasis. Other causes include masses (primary tumors or gallbladder polyps), parasites, or foreign bodies. Acute calculous cholecystitis is a common disease that requires surgical treatment Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has during the last two decades become the therapeutic strategy for acute cholecystitis (AC)(3). Standard......

Abstract: The advancement of science and technology has brought a new era of digitalization in the field of dentistry. Advancement of imaging technology has dramatically improved both diagnosis as well as treatment planning. For example, 3D skeletal dental analysis provided by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) plays an important role in panning dental as well as skeletal surgeries by providing guidance for accurate, safe, and innovative treatment guidelines, medical spiral CT provides accurate information and further permits soft tissue and airway evaluation. The AI approach to 2D or 3D imaging technology is fundamentally changing the protocol of diagnosis and treatment planning in....

Abstract: Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone was described by Cooper and Travers (1 ) in 1818. Giant Cell Tumors (GCT) comprise 5% of all primary bone tumors and 20% of benign skeletal tumors. The prevalence of GCT typically peaks during the third decade of life. Most lesions develop in long bones (75%–90%), with the majority of cases (50%–65%) occurring about the knee. The three most frequent locations for GCT are the distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal radius, in that order. Typically benign, the tumor is histologically characterized by multinucleated giant cells accompanied by a background of mononuclear stromal cells......
