Article Abstract
When gag reflex becomes abnormally active, it poses difficulty for the prosthodontists, as it hinders the process of fixed partial denture construction beginning with tooth preparation till impression making. In this case-report, the authors used a nerve block technique which is popular among anaesthetist and otolaryngologist, but is being applied in the field of prosthodontics for the first time, to tide over the difficulty.

Objective: There are very few studies on the use of a thermomechanical device for reducing injection pain in pediatric dentistry, especially for inferior alveolar nerve blocks (IANBs). The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a thermomechanical device (Buzzy, Pain Care Labs) for reducing pain associated with an IANB for pediatric dental patients.
Methods: A total of 30 children, 5 to 8 years of age undergoing bilateral mandibular dental treatment requiring IANBs, were included in this randomized crossover study.
Comparison of Unilateral Spinal Anesthesia and Popliteal Nerve Block for Postoperative Rebound Pain in Foot Surgeries - An Observational Study.

Background: Regional anesthesia techniques, such as unilateral spinal anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks, are essential components of multimodal analgesia. Nonetheless, "rebound pain," an abrupt increase in nociceptive intensity following the cessation of the block, is inadequately defined and may compromise patient satisfaction and functional recovery.
Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to compare postoperative pain profiles, the incidence of rebound pain, and patient satisfaction following popliteal sciatic nerve block versus unilateral spinal anesthesia in elective foot surgeries.

Background: Gynecologic enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have been developed to reduce postoperative narcotic use through multimodal pain management. While incisional injection of local anesthetic is standard practice, regional nerve blockades using liposomal agents are emerging as a promising adjunct technique for post-laparoscopy pain. Current data are conflicting regarding the benefits of regional nerve blocks on postoperative pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy.

BACKGROUND Among the limited analgesic options, plane blocks are of great importance in providing effective postoperative analgesia to donors and recipients in renal transplantation surgery. We aimed to demonstrate that anterior type quadratus lumborum plane block provides better analgesia than intravenous paracetamol in open and closed nephrectomy patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study.
