Bilateral revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure, which is rarely done simultaneously as it is a difficult surgery and the safety of simultaneous bilateral single stage surgery remains unknown. We report a case of a 67-year-old woman who presented to us with bilateral painful and unstable TKA (right > left) of six months duration. The primary bilateral TKA were done 14 years ago. Bilateral simultaneous revision TKA was performed, using cemented, constrained, long-stem prostheses. The intraoperative and postoperative periods remained uneventful. At last follow-up at four years, she had a pain-free range of motion of up to 0–115°, and the patient had returned to the activities of daily living. She had stable knees with good function and no evidence of loosening or wear.

Eggshell contains 98.2%calcium carbonate and can be transformed into hydroxyapatite which is an environment friendly process and can be used as bone regenerative grafts which not only reduces the treatment cost but also high in biosafety.
Introduction : Gingival black triangles are cosmetic deformities which occur due to loss or absence of interdental papilla, so reconstruction of
interdental papilla have always been a challenging task in esthetic dentistry. This study aims to compare injectable platelet rich brin and
hyaluronic acid injections in the treatment of gingival black triangles.
Material and Methods : 40 sites were divided into two groups ; Group A and Group B. In Group A, Injectable platelet rich brin was deposited
whereas in Group B hyaluronic acid injections were deposited. All the sites were examined for gingival index, plaque index, Papillae presence
index and Black triangle area at baseline, 1 month and 3 months follow up.
Results : On statistical analysis of the recorded data, results revealed statistical signicant difference in both the groups in Papillae presence index
and Black triangle area from baseline to 1 month and 3 months follow up.
Conclusion : Injectable Platelet rich brin can be a viable alternative to hyaluronic acid injections in the treatment of gingival black triangles.
