Oral MedicineGingival manifestations, such as gingival enlargement (gingival hyperplasia or infiltration) and bleeding, are most frequently and severely associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The infiltration of leukemic cells into the gingival tissues is a characteristic feature of some subtypes of AML, particularly the monocytic and myelomonocytic types.

EndodonticsHydrogen peroxide is the solution used to bleach non-vital endodontically treated teeth. Typically used as: 1) 30% hydrogen peroxide (Superoxol) for in-office bleaching, 2) Can be activated with heat for enhanced effectiveness, 3) May be mixed with sodium perborate for walking bleach technique, 4) Penetrates dentin tubules to break down chromophores causing discoloration. Chloroform and ether are solvents used for gutta-percha removal, while sodium hypochlorite is an irrigant for canal disinfection, not bleaching.

In epidemiology, incidence refers to the number of new cases of a disease or
condition that occur within a specific time frame in a defined population.
Dental caries, also known as tooth decay, is a common chronic condition where
bacteria in the mouth produce acids that destroy the tooth enamel and underlying
dentin, leading to cavities. The incidence of dental caries would be the number
of new cases of tooth decay diagnosed within a given period, say a year or
another time interval.
Point prevalence, on the other hand, is the proportion of a population that has
a specific condition at a particular point in time. It is a measure of the
prevalence of dental caries at a single moment, which does not account for new
cases or recoveries.
Period prevalence is the proportion of the population that has had a particular
condition during a specific period of time, such as a year or a month. This
measure includes both new cases and cases that have persisted from before the
start of the period in question.

Phase III studies are randomized controlled multicenter trials on large patient groups (300–3,000 or more depending upon the disease/medical condition studied) and are aimed at being the definitive assessment of how effective the drug is, in comparison with current 'gold standard' treatment.
