“…Postsurgery discomfort and esthetics were evaluated on a 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS). [26] VAS scores for pain and VAS esthetic score was evaluated at 1 week and 6 months, respectively. The patient satisfaction with overall treatment outcomes was 8 on VAS scale ranging 1 (not pleased) to 10 (very pleased).…”

Background:The objective of our study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of coronally advanced flap (CAF) with or without the use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane in the treatment of multiple adjacent recession defects (MARD) clinically and by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).Materials and Methods:Twenty healthy patients having 75 MARD were allocated randomly to CAF with orthodontic button group (CAFB) or CAFB + PRF membrane group (CAFB + PRF). Clinical parameters such as gingival recession depth (GRD), probing depth (PD), and keratinized tissue width (KTW) were calculated at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. The distance from the facial alveolar crest of bone to gingival margin bone and gingival thickness (GT) at three different points were assessed by CBCT at baseline and 6-month postsurgery. Esthetic outcome and postoperative discomfort were evaluated using root coverage esthetic score and visual analog scale, respectively.Results:Percent root coverage achieved in CAFB category was 93.17% ± 13.23% and that in CAFB + PRF group was 95.68% ± 10.13% at 6 months, with no notable difference. Similarly, no difference was found in either group in GRD reduction, PD, and CAL postoperatively. Use of PRF resulted in statistically highly significant (P < 0.001) increased GT at 6 months’ time point as compared to participants treated with CAF without PRF, which indicates clinical and esthetic benefits achieved through the procedure.Conclusions:CAFB can be used successfully to treat MARD with predictable outcome. Additional benefit in terms of gain in KTW and GT can be achieved when PRF membrane is used as an adjunct.

“…The patients were asked to rate their pain intensity during provocative activities, at night, and at rest during the previous week using unidimensional pain scales. The VAS and the NRS are strongly correlated (r=0.86-0.93) when assessing pain intensity 88,129,158 .…”

BackgroundRhomboid intercostal block (RIB) is a new regional anesthesia technique that provides postoperative analgesia for breast surgery and thoracoscopic surgery. The published papers are not yet fully integrated and do not adequately address the impact and safety of the RIB on postoperative pain.MethodsThe PubMed, Web of Science and Embase were searched from 2016 to 2021 for all available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the analgesic efficacy and safety of RIB after thoracic surgery and breast surgery. Random and fixed-effects meta-analytical models were used where indicated, and between-study heterogeneity was assessed. The primary outcome was Postoperative Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores of patients at rest recorded 0-1, 6-8, 24 hours after surgery. The secondary outcomes included rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), postoperative fentanyl consumption and presence of complications of the block. ResultsFrom 81 records identified, four studies met our inclusion criteria, including 216 patients (RIB:108 patients; no block: 108 patients). In the primary outcome, RIB group showed significantly lower postoperative NRS at rest at first 0-1 h and 6-8 h (weighted mean difference [WMD] = -1.55; 95% confidence internal [CI] = -2.92 to -0.19; p<0.05), (WMD = -0. 69; 95% CI = -1.29 to -0. 09; p<0. 05). And there was no significant difference between groups in NRS at rest at 24 h (WMD = -0.78; 95% CI = -1.64 to -0.08; p=0.77). Also, RIB group showed significantly lower postoperative NRS of breast surgery and thoracoscopic surgery at 0-1h (WMD = -3.00; 95% CI = -3.13 to -2.87; p<0.01), (WMD = -1.08; 95% CI = -1.98 to -0.18; p<0.05). In the secondary outcome, the analysis also showed RIB group had significant lower of POVN rates (summary relative risk (RR) = 0.212;95%CI = 0.10 to 0.45; p<0. 01) and the postoperative consumption of fentanyl (WMD= -57.52;95%CI = -106.03 to -9.02; p<0. 05). ConclusionThis review shows that RIB was more effective in controlling acute pain after breast surgery and thoracoscopic surgery than general analgesia. And RIB is also a kind of effective and safe bock technology.
