    Abstract Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a non-neoplastic, tumour-like reactive lesion that exclusively involves the gingiva and/or the alveolar crest. The surgical approach with a scalpel has been the golden standard of treatment for PGCG, but the scientific literature reports a high rate of lesion recurrence. Hence, this unique case report aimed to evaluate the efficacy of

    Abstract Achieving local anaesthesia for various clinical dental applications is a challenge that we encounter in our daily practice. Pre-emptive pulpal laser analgesia (PPLA) treatment strategy could be a promising non-pharmacological modality. Hence, our ex vivo laboratory study is aimed at evaluating the changes in enamel surface morphology when irradiated with various published PPLA protocols using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To do so, 24 extracted healthy human permanent premolar teeth were collected, and each tooth was divided into equal halves randomised into six groups. The following laser parameter protocols based on published protocols of clinical Er:YAG laser-induced PPLA were randomly assigned for each group: 0.2 W/10 Hz/3 J/cm

    Abstract Purpose: To systematically evaluate evidence from published systematic reviews for the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions in adults with burn injury.
    Materials and methods: A comprehensive literature review conducted using medical and health science electronic databases up to 31 July 2022. Two independent reviewers selected studies, extracted data, and assessed methodological study quality using A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR-2), and the certainty of evidence for reported outcomes using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) tool.
    Results: Twenty-one systematic reviews evaluated five categories of interventions: physical, psychological, technology-aided modalities, educational and occupational programs, complementary and alternative medicine. Outcomes included fitness level, hand function, oedema, pain, pruritus, psychological state, quality of life, range of motion, return to work, strength, scar characteristics, level of impairment and burn knowledge. The methodological quality was rated as "critically low" for all reviews. Quality of evidence for the effectiveness of evaluated interventions ranged from "moderate to very low."
    Conclusions: Beneficial effects of inhaled aromatherapy and extracorporeal shockwave therapy on pain reduction; inhaled or massage aromatherapy, music therapy on anxiety were reported. Safety of interventions was not evaluated, due to the lack of adverse event reporting in primary studies and the included reviews.

    Abstract Peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) is a common condition where oxidative stress (OS) is involved in the pathophysiology of facial paralysis, inhibiting peripheral nerve regeneration, which can be featured in Bell's palsy, Ramsay Hunt syndrome and Lyme disease. The current standard care treatments lack consensus and clear guidelines. Hence, the utilization of the antioxidant immunomodulator photobiomodulation (PBM) can optimize clinical outcomes in patients who are unresponsive to standard care treatments. Our study describes three unique cases of chronic PFP of various origins that were unresponsive to standard care treatments, but achieved a significant and complete recovery of facial paralysis following PBM therapy. Case presentations: Case #1: a 30-year-old male who presented with a history of 12 years of left-side facial paralysis and tingling as a result of Bell's palsy, where all the standard care treatments failed to restore the facial muscles' paralysis. Eleven trigger and affected points were irradiated with 1064 nm with an irradiance of ~0.5 W/cm

    Abstract Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is a thyroid-specific autoimmune disorder, triggering hypothyroidism in a population with an adequate dietary intake. Despite the current conventional treatment focuses on the permanent replacement of levothyroxine (LT4) deficiency, it appears that thyroid autoimmunity remains the cause of persistent symptoms in patients with HT, even when they achieve to be euthyroid from a biochemical standpoint. Photobiomodulation (PBM) showed to be an effective therapy in the management of autoimmune diseases, but with limited evidence. Hence, our study was conducted to appraise the efficacy of PBM therapy with supplements in restoring thyroid gland homeostasis in patients with HT compared with supplements alone. Seventy-four female subjects aged between 20 and 50 years old were recruited and divided equally into two groups: PBM and supplements group (group 1); and supplements alone group (group 2). The PBM dosimetry and treatment protocols were as follows: wavelength, 820 nm; power output, 200 mW; continuous emission mode; irradiating time, 20 s per point; fluence, 32 J/cm

    Abstract Peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) is a common condition where oxidative stress (OS) is involved in the pathophysiology of facial paralysis, inhibiting peripheral nerve regeneration, which can be featured in Bell’s palsy, Ramsay Hunt syndrome and Lyme disease. The current standard care treatments lack consensus and clear guidelines. Hence, the utilization of the antioxidant immunomodulator photobiomodulation (PBM) can optimize clinical outcomes in patients who are unresponsive to standard care treatments. Our study describes three unique cases of chronic PFP of various origins that were unresponsive to standard care treatments, but achieved a significant and complete recovery of facial paralysis following PBM therapy. Case presentations: Case #1: a 30-year-old male who presented with a history of 12 years of left-side facial paralysis and tingling as a result of Bell’s palsy, where all the standard care treatments failed to restore the facial muscles’ paralysis. Eleven trigger and affected points were irradiated with 1064 nm with an irradiance of ~0.5 W/cm 2 delivered with a collimated prototype flat-top (6 cm 2 ) in a pulsed mode, with a 100 µs pulse duration at a frequency of 10 Hz for 60 s (s) per point. Each point received a fluence of 30 J/cm 2 according to the following treatment protocol: three times a week for the first three months, then twice a week for another three weeks, and finally once a week for the following three months. The results showed an improvement in facial muscles’ functionality (FMF) by week two, whereas significant improvement was observed after 11 weeks of PBM, after which the House–Brackmann grading scale (HBGS) of facial nerve palsy dropped to 8 from 13 prior to the treatment. Six months after PBM commencement, electromyography (EMG) showed sustainability of the FMF. Case #2: A five-year-old female who presented with a 6-month history of severe facial paralysis due to Lyme disease. The same PBM parameters were utilized, but the treatment protocol was as follows: three times a week ...
