Marginal Bone Level Changes Evaluation of Long-term Functional Dental Implants with the Implant Disease Risk Assessment Diagram: A 2 to 6 Years Follow-up Retrospective Study.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between risk profile assessments of dental implants that have been in function for at least two-year and peri-implant marginal bone loss during the follow-up period using the Implant Disease Risk Assessment Diagram. Material and Methods: A total of 70 patients and 170 implants who had been functionally loaded for at least two years and who attended follow-up sessions were included in the study. Full-mouth plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing, clinical attachment level (CAL), and peri-implant modified plaque index, modified bleeding index, PD, keratinized mucosal width (KMW), CAL and GR were recorded.

Effect of supracrestal tissue height on marginal bone level changes at platform-switching dental implants placed crestally and subcrestally: A randomized clinical-trial.

Objectives: The presence of insufficient peri-implant supracrestal tissue height (STH) may increase marginal bone resorption. This study aims to evaluate the effect of STH on marginal bone level changes (ΔMBC) in platform-switching posterior implants placed crestally and subcrestally.

Methods: A total of 80 implants were included in this study.

Comparison of deep learning methods for the radiographic detection of patients with different periodontitis stages.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to assess the accuracy of computer-assisted periodontal classification bone loss staging using deep learning (DL) methods on panoramic radiographs and to compare the performance of various models and layers.

Methods: Panoramic radiographs were diagnosed and classified into 3 groups, namely "healthy," "Stage1/2," and "Stage3/4," and stored in separate folders. The feature extraction stage involved transferring and retraining the feature extraction layers and weights from 3 models, namely ResNet50, DenseNet121, and InceptionV3, which were proposed for classifying the ImageNet dataset, to 3 DL models designed for classifying periodontal bone loss.

Standing in Others' Shoes: Empathy and Positional Behavior.

Studies show that people are concerned with other people's consumption position in a varying degree with respect to the type of goods consumed and individual characteristics. Using both survey experiments and a large survey of subjective well-being (SWB) dataset, this paper aims to investigate the association between the degree of empathic capacity and positional concerns for consumption items involving pleasure and pain. The paper exploits both empathy quotient (EQ) and interpersonal reactivity index (IRI) measures of empathic capacity, i.

Hyperglycemia is a predictor of prognosis in traumatic brain injury: Tertiary intensive care unit study.

Background: Hyperglycemia is frequently encountered in critically ill patients and has been shown to contribute to both morbidity and mortality. We aimed to study the predictive role of blood glucose level in clinical outcomes of mechanically ventilated patients with traumatic brain injury during intensive care unit (ICU) stay and to explore its relationship with Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and acute physiology and chronic health examination (APACHE) II scores that are used in the evaluation of ICU patients as predictor.

Materials And Methods: A total of 185 patients with craniocerebral trauma who were hospitalized in the ICU were included in the study.
