Analysis of Stress Distribution on the Bone around an Implant Placed in the Anterior Maxilla Using Three Different Abutment Angulations by Means of Finite Element Analysis.

Aim: the aim of the study was to study the effect of stress distribution on the bone around an implant using angled abutments by means of finite element analysis in the anterior maxillary region.

Materials And Methods: A three-dimensional (3D) model of the of patient's maxilla of right central incisor: tooth, bone, crown, implant, and abutment system were used in this study. The models were designed for three situations with straight abutment, i.

Palatal Rugae Patterns as a Bioindicator for Forensic Identification in Kodava and Tibetan Populations of India.

Background: Palatal rugae are distinct to each individual and are highly specific to each individual as their fingerprints. Rugae pattern are specific to different racial groups making it convenient for population identification. Palatal rugae retain their shape throughout life and hence can be useful as an identification tool.
