The Impact of Implant Angulation on the Stress Distribution and Survival Rate of Implant-Supported Fixed Dental Prostheses: A Retrospective Study.

Background Implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) have become a reliable method for the rehabilitation of edentulous patients, offering improved contour, function, esthetics, and overall oral health. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of implant angulation on the stress distribution and survival rate of implant-supported FDPs using finite element analysis (FEA). Methods A retrospective cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing existing patient records and radiographic data.

An Study of Bactericidal Effect of Gallium Aluminium Arsenide Laser on Anaerobic Photosensitized Periodontopathics.

Aim: To investigate the bactericidal effect of gallium aluminium arsenide (GaAlAs) laser on photosensitized predominant periodontopathogenic anaerobic organisms.

Materials And Methods: The present prospective study was carried out among 50 patients of chronic periodontitis with pockets ≥ 5 mm depth. For sample analysis of and , a subgingival plaque was collected from periodontal pockets using sterile curettes under aseptic conditions.
