Trismus is the most common sequelae of various pathological processes leading to compromised nutritional state in addition to physical and psychological disabilities. Therapeutic interventions are available to relieve trismus, which range from oral usage of pharmacological agents to intralesional steroid therapy. Intraoral appliance therapy can be employed as an alternative or adjuvant treatment for radiotherapy-induced fibrosis and autoimmune disorders such as scleroderma, psychogenic trismus, and oral submucous fibrosis, decreasing the adverse effects associated with other pharmacological interventions. A novel intraoral appliance—“Nallan C-H”—has been developed and tried for trismus producing better results. A report on three such cases having trismus due to a premalignancy has been presented. It is hypothesized that the same appliance can be used for treating inoperable trismus in palliative care setting additionally or as an adjuvant to pharmacological approach.
One of the most important aspects of postsurgical care is finding an efficient way for the management of pain. Third molar extractions/surgical impaction is one of the most frequent surgical procedures in dental hospitals, and it is most often associated with postoperative complications like severe pain, oedema and reduced mouth opening. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of 2 g intravenous Analgesic Effect of intravenous Ascorbic Acid Versus Acelcofenac Post-Transalveolar Extraction: A case-control study
