Exploring Astronautical Dentistry: A Review

The Human body reacts differently in different environment(s). With development in the field of astronomy, long distance trip to another planet is now possible. These trips require humans to stay in zero gravity conditions for a long time. Simulated microgravity is the best way to assess the physiologic changes in near zero gravity conditions, as it is not always possible to conduct scientific experiments in space. The purpose of this review is to determine the effects of zero gravity on oral cavity

Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Review

Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is a well-recognized syndrome characterized by lancinating attacks of severe facial pain. The diagnosis of TN is based on a history of characteristic pain attacks that are consistent with specific widely accepted criteria for the diagnosis. TN pain attacks may result from physiologic changes induced by a chronic partial injury to the brainstem trigeminal nerve root from a variety of causes. An early and accurate diagnosis of TN is important, because therapeutic interventions can reduce or eliminate pain attacks in the large majority of TN patients
