This study tested two materials—a blood-derived platelet-rich fibrin or a hyaluronate-enriched bone graft—to widen a narrow upper jawbone so dental implants could be placed later. Thirty-four adults with a thin ridge (3-6 mm wide) but adequate bone height received the treatment v…

This study tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) educational guide could help prevent surgical site infections in women who had a C-section. 300 women were split into two groups: one got standard care, the other got standard care plus the AI guide. The AI guide provided …

This study tested whether dental interns can learn to apply cavity-preventing sealants effectively by watching a video instead of having a teacher show them in person. Fifty children aged 7 to 9 years each had two molars treated, one by an intern trained via video and the other b…

This study tested whether a learning instruction package could improve outcomes for people with knee osteoarthritis. 71 adults aged 20-60 with knee osteoarthritis took part. Researchers measured pain, symptoms, daily function, and quality of life using a standard questionnaire. T…

This study tested two different nerve block methods to reduce pain after a C-section. 90 women who had a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia received either a bilevel erector spinae plane block or a transversus abdominis plane block. The goal was to see which method lowers …

This study looked at two ways to help COVID-19 patients who have trouble breathing and low oxygen levels. It compared a newer method called High-Velocity Nasal Insufflation (HVNI) with the standard Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). The goal was to see which one corrects…

This study tested a special sesame oil nasal spray in 60 adults with chronic sinusitis who had sinus surgery. The goal was to see if the spray could improve symptoms and healing better than standard rinses. Results may offer a gentler option for post-surgery care.

This small pilot study looked at 10 people who had trouble with their regular dentures because they didn't stay in place well. Each person got a new denture held in by dental implants, using either a bar-locator or bar-ball attachment system. The study measured how satisfied pati…

This study tested if warming the numbing drug bupivacaine to body temperature (37°C) makes it work faster and last longer for cataract surgery. 120 adults having cataract surgery received a numbing eye block with either warm or room-temperature medicine. The goal was to see if wa…

This study looked at whether aromatherapy (using scents) or acupressure (applying pressure to certain points on the body) can help children aged 6 to 12 feel less pain and sleep better after abdominal surgeries like appendix removal or hernia repair. 100 children took part. The g…

This study tested whether a substance made from a patient's own blood (albumin platelet-rich fibrin) can reduce swelling, pain, and improve healing after wisdom tooth removal. Sixteen healthy adults with both lower wisdom teeth needing extraction took part. Researchers measured f…

This study tested whether adding a single dose of a muscle relaxant (tizanidine) to a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) improves pain control after mastectomy. 90 adults having breast removal surgery took part. The goal was to see if the combination delays the need for ext…

This study tested two different ways of placing four implants to support a lower denture with a special bar attachment. The goal was to see which method led to higher patient satisfaction and fewer problems like loose parts or breakage. Thirty adults with good oral health took pa…

This study looked at whether dentures made with a digital, 3D-printing process help people chew and swallow better than dentures made the traditional way. Fourteen adults with no teeth tried both types for three months each. Researchers measured how they ate a cracker, counting b…
