        Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health Anaesthesia of the Long Buccal Nerve- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Lemya Babiker Sanhori Abstract Background: Painless dental procedure was the main goal behind inventing different methods of local anaesthesia. The block techniques of local anaesthesia have shown some difficulties in application and prolong time to produce an effect. Hence the role of infiltration anaesthesia is also important. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the best area to anaesthetize the long buccal nerve in intra-alveolar extraction of posterior teeth. Study design: Controlled experimental hospital based study. Patients and methods: Two hundred fifty seven patients was selected randomly all the patients were between 20- 40 years, presented for extraction of the lower posterior teeth at KTDH during the period 2008-2011.Patients were categorized into three groups, the first had given block ana

Clinicians and oral medicine specialists should thoroughly assess the patients' systemic diseases, current medications and previous medication use when lesions first appeared in the oral cavities. Red and white oral lesions in the patients could be diagnosed as oral lichen planus (OLP), oral lichenoid drug reaction (OLDR), OLP/ Lupus erythematosus (LE), immune complex mediated disease, chronic ulcerative stomatitis-like diseases (CUS-like diseases) and etc. [2,3]. Previous reviews have demonstrated that many drugs can induce OLDR [4-7] (Table 1). Nevertheless, management of such oral lesions is chal

The Solution to Silver Diamine Fluoride Discoloration?- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Primus Consulting Abstract Introduction: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is increasingly recognized as a cost-effective, easy-to-use alternative to reduce sensitivity and arrest caries. However, SDF causes black staining of caries. Potassium iodide (KI) treatment with SDF may decrease or lessen the staining. However, the effectiveness of KI on staining has not been investigated. This study examined SDF/KI with various restorative materials, on carious and sound tooth structure. Methods: Ten groups of teeth were treated to evaluate the effect of KI and SDF treatment. Visual examination and color measurements were used to evaluate color changes among the groups. Results: All groups with KI treatment showed minimal to no staining after four weeks. Groups that underwent SDF treatment

  Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health Management of Acute Periapical Lesions at Four Mandibular Incisors a Case Report- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Nedim Smajkic Abstract Depending on the severity of irritation, duration, and host response, periradicular pathology may range from mild inflammation to extensive tissue destruction. This case report is showing the failures of previous endodontic treatment and apical surgery that resulted with exacerbation with phoenix abscess and try to preserve the four teeth with joined periapical lesions with endodontic retreatment and medicament therapy only. Fourteen year old female patient addressed to the dental office with swelling and pain in the mental area of the mandible. All mandibular incisors were painful with swelling of soft tissue. After the emergency treatment, and endodontic therapy of all involved teeth during the period of 10 months on x-ray radiogram was noticed a large redu

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health Effect of Two Different Bleaching Concentrations on Enamel Color Stability and Surface Roughness: an in Vitro Study- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Amr Khaled Mostafa Abstract Introductio: This in-vitro study was designed to investigate bleaching with two different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide on human enamel surfaces concerning surface roughness and color stability. Materials and methods: A total number of 60 specimens that were prepared from extracted human anterior teeth were used in this study. The specimens were randomly divided to two equal groups according to the bleaching agent; 30% hydrogen peroxide (GI) and 38% hydrogen peroxide (GII) then evaluated for surface roughness and color measurements immediately. They were then subdivided into three groups according to the solution where it will be immersed as a referred to Cola, B referred to black tea and C referred to ar
