Background: The prime aim of periodontal therapy is the arrest of bacteria/host induced inflammation and to maintain healthy periodontium. Pathogenic organisms which are not mechanically accessible can be eliminated by antibacterial agents. Several local antimicrobial drug delive...
Combining telecommunications and dentistry, teledentistry entails the transmission of clinical data and photographs over vast distances for dental consultation and treatment planning. It has the power to increase oral healthcare delivery, increase accessibility, and decrease expe...
The anterior teeth are relatively prone to trauma. According to research, 37% of trauma cases involve the upper central incisors. Anterior tooth trauma resulting in a fracture fragment demands rapid care because of the psychological effects it has on the patient as well as the de...
Periodontitis is a bacterial-induced inflammatory disease of alveolar bone and soft tissues eventually leading to the loss of the tooth. Elimination of the infectious agent is the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy, either by mechanical debridement, non-surgical therapy, minima...

Aims: The study aimed for determination of correlation between transgingival probing and CBCT evaluation, for the determination of gingival biotype. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Periodontics, Fatima Memorial Hospital, Lahore and...
Introduction: Laser technology has recently gained more attention among dentists due to its advantages, such as controlled bleeding as well as reduced pain and inflammation. However, the literature contains insufficient data concerning its safety for use in pregnant patients. The...
Background: Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been verified efficacious in pain reduction. But the research results remain unclear and debatable in terms of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) acceleration. Therefore, this systematic review was conducted to scrutinize the ability o...
The ultimate objective of a prosthesis is preservation of remaining teeth while lost function is being restored. The Root submergence technique not only helps in maintaining the periodontal ligament but also prevents the resorption of the alveolar bone thus maintaining the ridge....

Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of gingivitis in patients suffering from Beta Thalassemia Major. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Sample: Sundus Foundation, a voluntary blood transfusion center in Lahore, Pakistan, between Marc...
Introduction: An identical craniofacial complex must have symmetrical structures on right and left side. However, asymmetries are quite common and have been a matter of concern for orthodontic therapy. Asymmetries of face are often associated with dental asymmetries which are of...
Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are benign tumorous vascular lesions of endothelial origin that appear in early childhood with a higher incidence in women than men affecting 8-12% of infants. Clinically, variables in size and shape are appreciated predominant in the skin, subcutaneous...
The decision to extract teeth for orthodontic treatment is one of the most debated subjects in the history of the specialty. Angle advocated non-extraction while case a few years later proposed extraction in selected cases because of the concern for stability. In the 1930s, many...
The end goal of endodontic treatment is to form a homogenous unit and achieve a fluid-tight seal in the root canals. The adhesion of the sealers to root dentin is important to avoid microleakage. With the introduction of the concept of bonding, the idea of creating a mechanically...
