Assessment of Platelet-Rich Plasma Alone and Platelet-Rich Plasma Combined with Bioactive Glass in the Management of Intrabony Defect.

Objectives: To assess the function of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) both only and in combination with bioactive glass in intrabony defects.

Materials And Method: Twenty patients were split into two groups with 10 samples each: group I with PRP alone, whereas group II was done with PRP in addition to bioactive glass. Following local anesthesia, full-thickness mucoperiosteal flaps were elevated in the afflicted site, the defect was debrided, and root planning with curettes was performed.

A Comparative Analysis of Bacterial Adhesion on Different Long-Term Provisional Fixed Prostheses Fabricated by CAD/CAM Milling, 3D Printing, and Heat Cure Technique: An Study.

Objectives: This study compares the bacterial susceptibility to three different provisional restorations manufactured with different laboratory techniques, i.e., heat cure, CAD/CAM, and 3D printing.

The Efficacy of Tranexamic Acid in the Reduction of Incidence of Dry Socket: An Institutional Double Blind Study.

Background: Alveolar osteitis (AO) is an important postoperative problem with an incidence of 20% to 35% especially prevalent after the removal of mandibular molars. Fibrinolysis with subsequent loss of blood clotting is believed to be the general cause of AO.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent in comparison with a placebo with respect to the reduction of incidence of AO after the extraction of mandibular molars by using following parameters: Pain, disintegration of Clot, halitosis.

Prosthodontic management of flat mandibular ridge by mini implant supported over denture.

Loosening of lower denture has always been a common complaint of denture wearer, particularly in case of severe bone resorption. Various treatment modalities including preprosthetic surgery or ridge augmentation therapy to improve the ridge height and conventional implant treatments are available. But many patients are not willing to undergo through such extensive surgical procedure or conventional twin stage implant therapy owing to the chronic old age ailment and cost factor.

An in vitro comparison of antimicrobial effcacy of three root canal irrigants-BioPure MTAD, 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite as a final rinse against E. faecalis.

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) and BioPure MTAD when used as a fnal rinse against Enterococcus faecalis.

Materials And Methods: Sixty single-rooted premolars were biomechanically prepared, inoculated with E.

The effect of implant design on the stress distribution in a three-unit implant-supported distal cantilever fixed partial denture: a three-dimensional finite-element analysis.

Context: Implant design influences the stress distribution in an implant-supported distal cantilever fixed partial denture and supporting bone tissue.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of implant design on the stress distribution in the framework, implant, and surrounding bone, using a three-dimensional finite-element analysis.

Materials And Methods: A three-dimensional finite-element model of a mandibular section of bone with implants placed in the first and second premolar region was created to support a distal cantilever fixed partial denture.
