Background And Objectives: Performing medical procedures on children can often be challenging because of the anxiety that these procedures may induce, the need for immobility that they may require, or age-related development capabilities. We assessed the effects of procedural sedation and analgesia drugs for anxiety management in children during medical procedures.
Methods: We searched PubMed Medline, Cochrane Library, American Academy of Pediatrics, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, ClinicalTrials.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to determine the best oral biopsy site for diagnosing mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) by comparing clinical data with direct immunofluorescence (DIF) results.
- A systematic review of 16 studies found that gingival biopsies provided a 100% rate of DIF contribution for PV, while rates were 90.2% for MMP, with significant variability among other oral biopsy sites.
- The findings suggest that the choice of biopsy location should prioritize the clinical presentation and the healthy areas near active lesions rather than impact on DIF rates, emphasizing the importance of balancing the benefits and risks of the biopsy procedure.
Introduction: The benefit of pedagogical escape rooms for dental students' stimulation, interest and knowledge strengthening has been suggested by several studies. However, in previous studies, only a few students were evaluated. This study aims to confirm the purpose of this innovative pedagogical tool in terms of learning consolidation and team building from students' perceptions.

Purpose: The aim of the present retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the outcome of a maxillary sinus lateral window augmentation protocol, which sought to shorten the treatment time.
Materials And Methods: This protocol entailed sinus augmentation with deproteinized bovine bone minerals (DBBM) and simultaneous implant placement in patients with minimal residual bone height. A total of 89 sinus augmentation procedures were performed in 74 patients, in whom 160 implants were placed between 2005 and 2013.
Article Synopsis
- During the first wave of COVID-19 in France, dentists were deemed high-risk for infection, leading to a lockdown where they could only address emergencies, which helped control virus spread.
- A survey of nearly 3,500 French dentists revealed a 3.6% COVID-19 prevalence, with findings showing that wearing surgical masks in non-aerosol procedures increased risk, while limiting patient numbers was protective.
- The study concluded that when proper protective measures are taken, dentists are not at greater risk of COVID-19 than the general public, suggesting the need for stronger PPE guidelines and patient management to mitigate virus spread.
Clinical relevance of interdental papilla biopsy in chronic erosive gingivitis (desquamative gingivitis): retrospective bicentric study of 148 specimens.
BMC Oral Health
September 2021
Background: Chronic erosive gingivitis, also called desquamative gingivitis, defines a clinical picture that can be generated by several inflammatory and immune diseases. Pathology is therefore essential for the differential diagnosis. However, when the gingival lesion is initial, exclusive or predominant, selecting the biopsy site and protocol may be problematic due to tissue fragility.

- A study was conducted in April 2020 involving French dental professionals to investigate the risk of contracting COVID-19 in the dental field, highlighting an increased risk for health-care workers and suggesting oral health-care professionals might be particularly vulnerable.
- The survey included responses from 4,172 dentists and 1,868 dental assistants, revealing a lab-confirmed COVID-19 prevalence of 1.9% for dentists and 0.8% for dental assistants, with some clinical phenotypes appearing in 15% or more of positive cases.
- The results indicated that factors like chronic kidney disease and obesity increased the odds of contracting COVID-19, while specific dental practices and changes in work routines could lower the risk, showing dental professionals were not
: The Evaluation of Clinical Practice (ECP) conducted with a sample of French general dental practitioners aimed to measure the methods used to diagnose and manage bruxism.: The ECP was performed using a declarative online questionnaire-based anonymous survey (SurveyMonkey) of 1388 practitioners. Twenty-two questions were grouped in 5 categories: (1) Sociodemographic characteristics (Q1-6); (2) Knowledge of the prevalence and definition of bruxism (Q7-9); (3) Diagnostic approach (Q10-11) and management (Q12-Q13); (4) The use of occlusal splints (Q14-21); (5) Oral rehabilitation (Q22).

The diagnosis relies on clinical and X-ray examination. Unfortunately, clinical signs of tissue destruction occur late in the disease progression.
