Tooth whitening is a common procedure used to improve appearance of a discolored tooth. Many parameters have been described that based on the chemical influence of the bleaching agent on enamel-dentin surface. The final appearance may be compatible to the "brightness" of the tooth surface. In other terms the reflection of light from the bleached tooth area was assessed using digital methods. Luminosity as a method of photometry on measuring the luminance of basic colors may be considered as the simplest method of measuring the light reflection of green, blue and red. Concluding, the use of 38% hydrogen peroxide supported by diode laser slightly increased luminosity using digital photometry. |

A male patient, 65 years old presented to the clinic with generalized gingival overgrowth on the anterior mandible. The nifedipine intake, a calcium channel antagonist, caused this pathological condition. The diode laser applied on gingival tissues without injected anaesthesia. The healing was assessed and found to be uneventful. The advantages and disadvantages of this technique are discussed. |

Postoperative pain in dentistry is always a task for the clinician. Subdividing broadly the pain into the field of oral surgery, endodontics and restorative dentistry it is more easily to assess the aetiology and management. This review study addressed the value of assessment using the previously mentioned subgroups as a general area of interest. It is worth noting that postoperative pain may be expected in various dental procedures. Post-surgical pain affects, in a very high degree, patients comfort and sequentially the dental job. |

During the last 10 years, several scientists around the world investigate the effect of growth factors on the reconstruction of mandibular and maxillary bone. The aim of these studies is the use of safer materials and techniques that could promise a good result. Platelet in Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) contain a very big amount of growth factors as PDGF, TGF- , VEGF and IGF. The aim of this study, is the review of the results of several researches that are based on the potential of PRP to enhance bone healing at humans and animals, mainly in combination with graft materials. In this study results of the most important studies, based on the use of PRP, are exposed and analyzed. These findings are controversial. Some researchers insist on the positive effect of PRP on bone augmentation, while others do not support the use of PRP as a technique with certain advantages. It is important for researchers to consecrate some certain protocols about studies transaction, homogeneity of the samples, PRP preparation, PRP use and the evaluation of the results. In addition to the above mentioned, physical, biological and biochemical properties of growth factors must be identified to offer the opportunity of good and long-lasting treatment. Overall, PRP application is very promising, especially for the treatment of no totally healthy patients whose condition requires fast ant safe procedures of bone and other tissue healing. |
