Background: Anti-inflammatory role of Aloe vera gel is well established. Diclofenac is extensively used for acute and chronic inflammation. The present study was conducted to compare dried Aloe vera gel and diclofenac effects on sodium and potassium balance in hypertensive rats. Material and Methods: This experimental study was conducted at Sargodha Medical College from May to November 2016. Twenty-four healthy male Sprague Dawley rats 7-8 weeks of age were included in study. Any unhealthy-looking rat was excluded from the study. Rats were equally and randomly divided into four groups Normal control (group A), Model control (group B), Aloe vera (group C) & Diclofenac (group D). Hypertension was induced by a 20 % sucrose diet in all groups except group A in 8 weeks’ time. Group B, C & D received distilled water and Aloe vera dried gel 400 mg/kg & diclofenac powder 12 mg/kg body weight respectively orally between 8 to 10 weeks. Serum and urine analysis was performed for hematocrit, sodium, and potassium concentrations at zero, eight and ten weeks. Twenty-four-hour urinary sodium excretion was calculated. Data was analyzed using Graph Pad Prism version 6. Result: After 2-week administration of aloe vera and diclofenac powder, serum potassium significantly decreased in Group C (p <0.001) while increased in Group B and D (p <0.001) as compared to group A. Urinary sodium concentration and excretion increased significantly in Group C (p <0.01) as compared to Group A whereas result of Group D was insignificant. No significant change in serum sodium and hematocrit of any group was observed. Conclusion: Aloe vera causes less sodium retention than diclofenac but decreases serum potassium contrary to the effect of diclofenac in hypertensive rats.

INTRODUCTION: Dry socket (syn. Alveolar osteitis, Alveolitis sicca dolorosa) is one of the most common complications after extraction of a tooth with a high incidence after a surgical extraction, particularly seen in the mandibular third molars.AIM: To assess the efficacy of 1% betadine mouthwash in prevention of dry socket.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included a sample of 154 patients visiting the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Tatyasaheb Kore Dental College and Research Centre, Kohlapur, Maharashtra, India for surgical extraction of their impacted mandibular third molar and categorized as class A and B according to Pell and Gregory classification. The case group included patients who were provided with povidone iodine 1% oral antiseptic solution (Betadine), while no intervention was provided to the control group. All patients took 400 mg Ibuprofen (oral) one hour prior to the extraction. Post-surgery, patients were recalled on the third and seventh day and the data was recorded in the pre-filled proforma, data was entered in Microsoft excel, transferred into SPSS version 21.0 and the t-test was applied to analyze the data obtained.RESULTS: It was observed that 26 patients (16.89%) had a dry socket present. The presence of dry socket was slightly higher among females 14, (53.84%) as compared to males (12, 46.6%). Mostly, fair oral hygiene was observed among the study subjects. No significant correlation was observed between oral hygiene status and incidence of dry socket (p>0.05). A statistically significant correlation between the cases and control group (p=0.047) was observed.CONCLUSION: Povidone iodine 1% mouthwash reduces the incidence of dry socket following surgical extraction and hence, it use prior to surgical extraction of impacted teeth is recommended for better topical infection control.

Introduction: NSAIDs are known to cause salt and water retention leading to hypertension and renal impairment. Aloe vera gel has been used in medicinal preparations for decades. Limited data is available regarding effect of Aloe vera on renal function. There is a need to search this aspect of Aloe vera, to use it judiciously. Aims & Objectives: To estimate and compare the effects of Aloe vera and diclofenac on systolic blood pressure and renal functions of hypertensive rats. Place and duration of study: This study was conducted at Post Graduate Medical Institute Lahore, Sargodha Medical College, Sargodha and Department of Pharmacy, University of Sargodha for the period of three months. Material & Methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats (n=24) were divided into four groups; Group A (Normal control), Group B (Hypertensive control), Group C (Aloe vera treated) and Group D (Diclofenac treated). Hypertension was induced in groups B, C and D by 20% sucrose diet in 8 weeks. After induction of hypertension, distilled water, dried Aloe vera gel 400 mg/kg and diclofenac 12 mg/kg were given orally to group B, C and D respectively for 2 weeks as a single morning dose. Body weight and systolic blood pressure were measured weekly, while serum creatinine, creatinine clearance and urinary proteins were estimated and compared at 0, 8 and 10 weeks. Data was analyzed using SPSS 23 and p value of ?0.05 was considered significant. Results: Diclofenac decreased body weight of rats non-significantly and increased systolic blood pressure significantly (p< 0.03) whereas Aloe vera increased body weight significantly (p<0.012) and had no significant effect on systolic blood pressure. Diclofenac treated group showed deterioration of renal function as compared to Aloe vera treated group numerically. Conclusion: Aloe vera may be safer anti-inflammatory agent than diclofenac for treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions if the patient also has hypertension or renal disease.

Introduction: The high prevalence of dry socket or alveolar osteitis (AO) is of concern in surgical removal of third molars. The aim of the present study was to assess the preventive effect of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) on AO and also its effect on pain management and healing acceleration in third molar extraction sockets of high-risk patients. Materials and Methods: This split-mouth, double-blind clinical trial included 40 bilateral third molar extractions (80 sockets) with at least one identified risk factor for AO. PRGF was obtained from patient’s own blood, based on manufacturer’s instruction, and blindly placed in one of the two bilateral sockets (PRGF group; n = 20) of each patient. The contralateral socket was treated with a placebo (control group; n = 20). Samples were evaluated for AO and pain incidence on days 2, 3 and 4 and healing and infection on days 3 and 7. Data were analyzed in SPSS v16 using Wilcoxon test. Results: There was a significant difference in dry socket and pain incidence and healing rate between the two groups. Intensity of pain and occurrence of dry socket in the study group was lower than the controls. Also the healing rate was higher (P < 0.05) for the PRGF group. No sign of infection was seen in either group. Conclusion: The application of PRGF may significantly reduce the incidence of AO or its associated pain and may accelerate healing. The prophylactic use of PRGF following third molar extraction may be suggested especially in the patients at risk of AO.

Objective: We wanted to see whether impacted third mandibular molar extractions resulted in Alveolar Osteitis if post-extraction socket irrigation was used or not. Methodology: A randomized control experiment on 70 patients study was conducted from July 2019 to January 2020 at Islamabad Dental Hospital's OMFS department. Patients presenting with the mandibular third molars fulfilling the inclusion criteria had their teeth extracted with and without socket irrigation using the computer lottery method. In cases of dry socket, clinical diagnosis was made between the 3rd, 5th, and 7th postoperative days. Results: 70 patients/sockets were evaluated with 35 having been irrigated and 35 non-irrigated. The age range was 16-50years with a mean of 29.49 and most patients were between the 16-35 age group. There were 48.6% males and 51.4% females. Dry Socket was evaluated on the 3rd, 5th, and 7th day between groups (A=irrigation, B=Non-irrigation). On the 3rd postop day, 14 (40%) patients in group A and 15(42.9%) patients were diagnosed as dry Sockets. A similar number of patients in both groups (20%) exhibited symptoms of dry socket on the fifth and seventh postoperative days, as did 5 (14.3 %) in group A, 3 (8.6 %) in group B, and 1(2.9 %t) in group A, all on the fifth postoperative day. Conclusion: On the third, fifth, and seventh postoperative days, there was no significant difference in the result of Alveolar Osteitis between the groups.

Introduction: Mandibular third molar is most commonly dental impacted and it’s removal is not without morbidity. Post operative pain, swelling and trismus are universal. This study was carried out to compare the effect of co-administered corticosteroid and diclofenac Na+/K+ with diclofenac Na+/K+ alone on the post operative morbidity like pain, swelling and trismus after surgical removal of impacted lower third molars. Materials and Methods: The study was a prospective study done over a period of 01.01.13 to 30.06.14 in Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS), Military Dental Center, Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka and the department of OMS Dhaka Dental College and Hospital, Dhaka. Sixty patients were included in the study and were randomly divided into two study groups: Control group received only diclofenac Na+/K+, Experimental group received corticosteroid and diclofenac Na+/K+. Pain, swelling and trismus were evaluated before, 1st, 2nd and 7th POD after surgery. Results: Among the 60 cases common type of impaction was horizontal and vertical type (30%) followed by Mesioangular (23%) and Distoangular (17%). All corticosteroid groups showed statistically significant (p < 0.01) improvement in pain and trismus at 1st and 2nd pod, but statistically significant (p < 0.01) improvement of swelling occur only on 2nd pod as compared to control group. Conclusion: Corticosteroid and diclofenac Na+/K+ combination was found effective for early recovery and the patients who used this combination suffered less pain, swelling and trismus after impacted mandibular third molar surgery.

Study Design: This is an experimental study using an animal model. Objectives: Disk degeneration is a common cause of low back pain. However, few attempts have been made to proffer a medical solution. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aloe vera gel (AVG) on the histomorphometric changes in the intervertebral disk of annular-punctured rabbits. Methods: A total of 25 rabbits weighing 1.0 to 3.5 kg were used for this study; 20 rabbits were subjected to annular puncture of the L3/L4, L4/L5, and L5/L6 disks using an 18G needle. Five rabbits were randomly assigned to 5 groups (A, B, C, D, and E) of 5 animals per group. Group A was not punctured. Group B was punctured. Groups C, D, and E were punctured and given 600 400, and 200 (mg/kg) of AVG orally, respectively. The disk histology and nucleus pulposus cell count were done 6 weeks after the puncture procedure. Results: The results revealed a gradual reversal of degenerative changes in the treated groups compared with the nontreated groups ( P < .05). The observed changes in the organization of the elastic and collagen content, increase in fibrochondrocyte-like cells of the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus ( P = .0027), and the degree of degeneration of the disk ( P = .0001) in the treated groups compared with the nontreated groups were statistically significant. Conclusion: Administration of AVG halted and reversed disk degeneration in an annular puncture–induced disk degeneration rabbit model.
