2025 КЛИНИЧЕСКИЙ РАЗБОР В ОБЩЕЙ МЕДИЦИНЕ | ТОМ 6 | №11 | 2025 | Clinical review for general practice | VOL. 6 | No. 11 | 2025
Abstract Background. Children in hospitals and day-care centers undergo painful procedures. There are different ways of controlling pain in children, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, to compare all aspects of pediatric pain treatment. Methods. A review was conducted across databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were searched using the keywords "pharmacological treatments", "non-pharmacological treatments", "pediatric" and "invasive procedures" between 2000 and 2025. In the initial review, 2400 articles were retrieved and then added to a reference management software (EndNote). Results. Thirteen articles met the inclusion criteria these studies highlighted seventeen key challenges. In terms of effectiveness, the pharmacological method has more support for acute and severe pain, while the non-pharmacological method enjoys more support for chronic and less severe pain. Conclusion. The findings, it can be concluded that both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods have advantages and disadvan- tages. Yet, selecting the proper method depends on environmental factors, the child's pain status, and access to that method. Considering the im- portance of non-pharmacological pain control in children, there is a need for strategies to remove or reduce obstacles. Addressing these problems and obstacles requires multiple approaches in various areas, including personnel, education, management, and the environment. Keywords: pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, pain, pediatric, invasive procedures.

Perceptions, Attitude and Barriers Towards Artificial Intelligence in Periodontics among Postgraduate Students of Periodontics: an Online Survey
2025 International Journal of Medical Science and Dental Research
Abstract: Aim: To know attitudes, perceptions and barriers towards the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in dentistry among postgraduate students of Periodontics. Methodology: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted among participants pursuing post- graduation. The questionnaire consisted of 15 close-ended questions divided into sections of attitude, perception and barriers. The data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0. Result: Out of 206 respondents, 76% were aware of AI tools relevance to their speciality. 81% believed that AI can be effectively utilized for 3-dimensional implant positioning and planning. 70% believe inadequate exposure to AI during postgraduate periodontics training limits their confidence in using such tools clinically. Conclusion: This study concluded that students of postgraduation in periodontics were aware of the AI tools. Participants were positive when asked if AI can be effectively utilized for3-dimensional implant positioning and planning. Participants believed that the barriers to the introduction of AI in dentistry are lack of exposure at PG level and high cost.
