“…Patients' body weights are used to determine the optimal epinephrine dosage. Children and adults weighing 30 kg or more often take 0.3 mg. To treat adults and children between 15 and 30 kilograms (kg), the recommended daily dosage is 0.15 mg. (23)(24)(25) The study findings also shows that most medical facilities are inadequately prepared to deal with unexpected medical emergencies. A dentist is ultimately responsible for addressing any emergency circumstances at a dental clinic, therefore their inexperience and unfamiliarity with doing so might have unfavorable results and lead to legal lawsuits by patients (3)(4)(5)(6) .…”

Background: Anaphylaxis or Type I hypersensitivity response is an acute, severe, and potentially life-threatening response to an allergen. It occurs as an immune mediated reaction due to the release of mediators by mast cells. The anaphylactic response involves skin, cardiovascular, respiratory or gastrointestinal systems. In dental settings, anaphylaxis can be faced in reaction to multiple medications including the administration of local anesthetic agents. The reaction involves difficulty in breathing, light headedness, wheezing or clammy skin. The knowledge and attitude of the treating dentist related to the anaphylaxis reaction is of prime importance as it may result in morbidity or mortality if not managed properly. Aim and objective: The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and attitude of dental practitioners in Islamabad-Rawalpindi related to anaphylaxis reactions in patients who have been administered local anesthesia. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Islamabad-Rawalpindi between Jan to June 2021. Total 377 dentist were enrolled in this study after taking consent the closed-ended questionnaire-filled. The questionnaire had two sections regarding the knowledge and practice attitude towards anaphylaxis reaction in response to local anesthesia. The data was analyzed by chi-Square test using SPSS version 24. Results: There were 377 dentists in the sample, with the age between 5-30 years old, with less than 5 years of experience. Only 4% of dentists said they routinely offer a test dosage, despite the fact that 96% of dentists had the practice of asking about previous medication allergies before beginning treatment. Just 28.9% of dentists were doing aspiration before the administration of local anesthesia with 63.1% were checked expiry date. Interestingly, most dentists kept epinephrine, antihistamine, corticosteroids, glucagon, and albutamol as emergency medicine but 79.7% agreed on epinephrine as a drug of choice and injected intramuscularly. Conclusion: Although anaphylaxis during dental operations is uncommon, it may have serious repercussions if it does occur. Results from the current research highlight dentists' knowledge gaps when it comes to dealing with adverse responses. Keywords: Anaphylaxis, Epinephrine, Hypersensitivity, Local anesthetic agent

“…Instead of using active forces, they either transmit, eliminate, or direct the orofacial musculature's inherent forces to repair the dentofacial structures' abnormal growth and function. They are primarily considered for modifying development in Class II division 1 and skeletal Class III disorders [7]. Many functional and orthopedic appliances are available for repairing Class II skeletal and occlusal disharmonies, including Herbst appliances, Bionator 1-3, and fixed FR-2 of Fränkel [8].…”

Myofunctional appliances are customarily used to treat Class II malocclusions in growing children to alter their growth. Functional appliances are widely accepted to enhance skeletal relationships in the short term efficiently. It utilizes muscular forces by muscles to make dental and skeleton modifications. The myofunctional appliance might be removable or fixed. The variation of mode and method of action depends on the design, but the forces created by the muscles' stretching provide their effect. According to research, the effectiveness of functional appliances as a therapy for Class II malocclusion might be influenced by mandibular growth patterns. Their low skeletal maturation influence outweighs the primary dentoalveolar impact of the twin block myofunctional orthodontic appliances. Class II malocclusions can benefit by using myofunctional appliances in specific clinical situations, such as when the patient is still developing. These devices make the fixed appliance phase easier to use, but their effectiveness depends heavily on the patient's compliance. In this case, an 11-year-old female expressed concern about the forward positioning of her upper front teeth when she visited the department of orthodontics. Twin block, a myofunctional appliance, was used to manage it, and then fixed orthodontic treatment was used to fine-tune the occlusion. This case report illustrates the design and treatment effects.
