Different wavelengths of laser: are they significant for treatment of denture stomatitis?: an in-vitro study.

Background: Denture stomatitis (DS) is an inflammatory disorder that affects the mucosal surface underneath the dentures and frequently causes oral mucosal irritation, discomfort, and altered taste perception, which prevents people from consuming enough nutrients. One of the main causes of DS is an overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans (C. albicans).

Evaluation of immediately loaded mandibular four vertical versus tilted posterior implants supporting fixed detachable restorations without versus with posterior cantilevers.

Background: Distally inclining posterior implants may be technically challenging in certain situations. The presence of a posterior cantilever can also exert unfavorable forces on supporting implants. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare peri-implant soft and hard tissues around 4 mandibular interforaminal implants having tilted posterior implants with posterior cantilevers, versus vertical implants, 2 in the interforaminal region and 2 in the first molar regions, without posterior cantilevers.

Clinical and radiographic evaluation of implants placed with fully guided versus partially guided tissue-supported surgical guides: A split-mouth clinical study.

Statement Of Problem: The effect of placing implants by using a fully guided protocol versus a partially guided protocol on the peri-implant soft and hard tissues is unclear. C-shaped guide holes are often used; however, their effect on drilling and peri-implant tissues has not been thoroughly investigated.

Purpose: The purpose of this split-mouth clinical study was to clinically and radiographically evaluate peri-implant soft and hard tissues after implant placement by using fully guided versus partially guided surgical guides with cylindrical versus C-shaped guide holes.

Evaluation of the accuracy of implant placement by using fully guided versus partially guided tissue-supported surgical guides with cylindrical versus C-shaped guiding holes: A split-mouth clinical study.

Statement Of Problem: The accuracy of partially guided implant placement protocols in comparison with fully guided protocols is still unclear. C-shaped guide holes have become popular; however, their effect on drilling and implant position accuracy has not been thoroughly investigated.

Purpose: The purpose of this split-mouth clinical study was to evaluate the accuracy of implant placement by using fully guided versus partially guided surgical guides with cylindrical versus C-shaped guiding holes.
