Occurrence of Additional Canals in Mandibular Lower Anteriors In Between Male and Female Patients

The endodontic treatment with excellent outcomes depends on the critical identification of the root and its canals anatomy. The successful identification of these anatomies guaranteed the pulp tissue extirpation completely, with efficiency in chemo-mechanical cleaning and shaping. All these lead to the most proper three-dimensionally root canal obturation with the most reliable inert filling. The purpose of this study is to provide clinical data on the presence of additional canals in mandibular anterior teeth among males and females.Patients reported from June 2019 to March 2020 were reviewed. 82000 patient records were reviewed and data related to patients undergone Root canal therapy in mandibular lower anteriors. Data includes age, gender and number of additional canals in lower anteriors. The collected data was tabulated in the excel sheet. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software (version 9.0.3). The prevalence of patients with additional canals in mandibular anteriors was 8.1% . For females, the prevalence of additional canals was 3.24% whereas in males it is 4.86%. However, there is no relation between the gender and presence of additional canals in mandibular anteriors

Preference Of Analgesic Drug For Pain Control Following Extraction Of Teeth - A Retrospective Study

 The aim of this retroperspective study was to assess the preference of analgesic drugs administered for pain control following dental extraction of teeth. The study was conducted in a University based setting.The study group of this research were patients who reported to the clinics with moderate to severe toothache/ dental pain who required tooth extraction.Case sheets were reviewed between June 2019 to March 2020.Data were analyzed using SPSS software (IBM SPSS Statistics, Version 24.0, Armonk, NY: IBM Corp). Chi square test was applied to find the association between the parameters and the level of significance.A total of 7888 patients were involved in this study. 45.7% were female patients and 54.3% were male patients. About 70.3% of the population falls in the age category 21-60 years.Around 45.8% of the population were prescribed with Paracetamol. The commonly prescribed combination analgesic of choice was Paracetamol and Aceclofenac for 26.6% of the patients. We conclude that middle aged patients in the age group 21- 60 years were prescribed Paracetamol as the first analgesic of choice for postoperative dental pain control
