Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Asymptomatic impacted molars are typically monitored with regular
dental check-ups. Extraction is recommended if the impacted tooth is causing
pain, infection, cyst formation, damage to adjacent teeth, or if it interferes
with orthodontic treatment or the overall oral health.

Pharmacology
Synthetic opioids, sharing properties of opium and morphine, include meperidine, propoxyphene, diphenoxylate, fentanyl, buprenorphine, methadone, and pentazocine. Various opiate effects are analgesia, respiratory depression, constipation, and euphoria.
Fentanyl (80 to 100 times more powerful than morphine) is especially dangerous.
Atropine blocks the muscarinic receptors. Atropine decreases gastrointestinal tract motility and secretion and causes constipation.
Although various derivatives and congeners of atropine (such as propantheline, isopropamide, and glycopyrrolate) have been advocated in patients with peptic ulcer or with diarrheal syndromes

ProsthodonticsThe T-clasp is used when the retentive undercut on the abutment tooth is located adjacent to the edentulous space. This design allows the clasp to engage the undercut on the tissue side of the tooth, providing retention while the reciprocal arm stabilizes from the opposite side. This is particularly useful in distal extension situations.
