Core idea: Esthetics has become a prime aspects of dentistry and clinicians are often faced challenge of achieving acceptable gingival esthetics as well as addressing biological and functional problems in day to day practice. Gingival depigmentation is a periodental plastic surgical procedure whereby the gingival hyperpigmentation is removed or reduced by various techniques such as scalped surgery, bur surgery and CO2 laser etc. The present case series describes successful management of cases with three depigmentation techniques -Scalpel blade surgery, bur surgery and diode laser surgery and the results were evaluated. Despite delayed wound healing the application of diode laser appears to be a safe and effective alternative procedure for the treatment of gingival melanin pigmentation because of less post-operative pain and discomfort when compared to scalpel blade or bur abrasion.
Abstract:
Esthetics has become a significant aspect of dentistry and clinicians are faced with achieving acceptable gingival esthetics as well as addressing biological and functional problems. The gingiva is the most commonly affected intraoral tissue that is responsible for a displeasing appearance. Melanin pigmentation often occurs in the gingiva as a result of an abnormal deposition of melanin, due to which the gums may appear black, but the principles, techniques, and management of the problems associated with gingival melanin pigmentation are still not fully established. Depigmentation procedures such as scalpel surgery, gingivectomy with free gingival autografting, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, abrasion with diamond bur, Nd:YAG laser, semiconductor diode laser, and CO2 laser have been employed for removal of melanin pigmentation.The following series describes three different surgical depigmentation techniques: scalpel blade surgery, abrasion with diamond bur, and semiconductor diode laser. The diode laser is a solid-state semiconductor laser that typically uses a combination of Gallium (Ga), Arsenide (Ar), and other elements, such as aluminium (Al) and indium (In) to change electrical energy into light energy. Better results were achieved with semiconductor diode laser than conventional scalpel blade and abrasion with bur.
Keywords: Diode laser; Hyperpigmentation, repigmentation.

Abstract:
Aim: To study pattern and management of rise of intraocular pressure(IOP) after intravitreal triacinolone acetonide (IVTA) in patients of branch retinal vein occlusion BRVO.
Method: In this prospective study, 50 patients having BRVO were enrolled. After examining for best corrected visual acuity, IOP, slit lamp biomicroscopy with +78D, gonioscopy with Zeiss four mirror lens, fundus examination with direct & indirect ophthalmoscope, patients received IVTA 4mg/0.1 ml. Patients were followed up on day 1, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months. Patients who had IOP more than 21 mm of Hg were started on topical pressure reducing medication. If pressure was not controlled with topical medications, patients underwent Trabeculectomy.
Results: Out of total 50 patients, 29 had increased IOP. Most of the patients had increased IOP during 1 week to 3 months postoperative. Mean baseline IOP was 16.38 ± 2.11mm of Hg preoperatively that increased to 22.08 ± 5.81 mm of Hg after 1 week. Out of 29 patients, in 12 patients IOP was controlled with Timolol 0.5% eye drop only. In 6 patients, IOP was controlled with Timolol 0.5% + Dorzolamide 2%.In 4 patients, IOP was controlled with Timolol 0.5% + Dorzolamide 2% + Brimonidine 0.2%; rest 7 patients required anti glaucoma surgery. All the patients had controlled pressure after 6 months.
Conclusion: IVTA is an important mode of intervention in patients of BRVO for reducing macular oedema. Increased IOP is most common complication of IVTA. Most of the patients can be treated with topical medication.
Keywords: Macular oedema; BRVO; Trimcinolone acetonide; Steroid induced glaucoma.

Abstract:
Twenty chronic periodontitis patients, aged 35-60 years, were taken in a randomized double blind study. Aims and Objectives: To assess the effect of preoperative ibuprofen administration on the post operative periodontal surgical pain. Materials and Methods: The study consisted of ten chronic periodontitis, indicated for full mouth surgery. In each patient, two quadrants (mandibular) were considered for periodontal surgery after thorough scaling and root planing. The patients were given ibuprofen before 3rd quadrant surgery and placebo before the surgery for 4th quadrant. All patients gave verbal informed consent to participate in the study before anesthesia and surgery. The VAS score were recorded for each patient immediately after and 2 hours post operatively. Statistical analysis: data were analyzed using the student t test. Results: Results indicated that preoperative treatment with ibuprofen significantly reduced initial pain intensity of operative and post operative pain as compared with placebo. No adverse reactions related to preoperative medication were observed. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that 400 mg ibuprofen administered immediately before periodontal surgery was effective for alleviating the operative and post operative painful sequelae.
Keywords: Ibuprofen; operative pain; pain/prevention and control; periodontal surgery.

Core idea: Leptospirosis is an acute febrile illness which is a zoonotic disease, here we report a young man presented with fever, decreased urine output and was not responding to treatment, whose initial workup showed deranged renal and liver parameters along with thrombocytopenia and subsequently he showed positive result for leptospira microagglutination test. He improved in subsequent days after putting on Inj. Ceftriaxone. This case report shows the importance of considering Leptospirosis in every case of acute febrile illness.
Abstract:
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease. Clinical hallmark of leptospirosis include jaundice, renal injury, splenomegaly, fever and refractory shock. In this report we present a 25 year old male presented to emergency department with fever and kidney injury.
Case presentation:
A 25 year old male agricultural laborer presented with fever, decreased urine output. His initial workup showed deranged renal parameters and liver function tests along with leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia. A microagglutination test for leptospira showed positive result. Subsequently the patient recovered after a course of intravenous antibiotics.
Conclusion: Leptospirosis should be considered in the diagnosis of every patient who presents with acute febrile illness.
