Immunomodulatory effect of a proprietary polyherbal formulation on healthy participants: A single- blind, randomized, placebo- controlled, exploratory clinical study.

Context: Clinical study for immunity.

Aims: The present study aimed to assess the effect of proprietary polyherbal formulation (PPHF), labelled as Kofol immunity tablets (KIT) on innate and adaptive immune responses in healthy individuals, on the backdrop of COVID-19 pandemic.

Settings And Design: Single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, exploratory study in institutional setting.

Stress distribution around different abutments on titanium and CFR-PEEK implant with different prosthetic crowns under parafunctional loading: A 3D FEA study.

Aim & Objectives: Clinical trials had concluded a significant relationship between implant failure and bruxism. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) was done to evaluate the stress distribution in straight and angled abutments around titanium and carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) implant with 2 different prosthetic crowns under parafunctional loading.

Materials And Method: Twelve 3D models of bone block were created representing the maxillary right premolar area with osseointegrated implants.

Socket-shield technique for implant placement to stabilize the facial gingival and osseous architecture: A systematic review.

The aim of the present study was to establish the efficacy of the socket-shield technique (SST) for the stabilization of the facial gingival and osseous architecture. An electronic search including the Cochrane databases, EBSCOhost, Medline/PubMed and Web of Science was performed. Articles related to SST for placing dental implants were included.
