Clinical Evaluation of the Long-Term Survival and Success Rates of Different Types of Implant-Supported Prostheses.

Background: Dental implants have been essential to the therapy of patients who are partially edentulous.

Aim: Clinical evaluation of the long-term survival and success rates of different types of implant-supported prostheses.

Materials And Methods: Patients who had a healthy edentulous ridge of three missing teeth in the posterior jaw in which two or three dental implants were placed having any of three prostheses, namely, three-unit fixed dental prostheses (FPD) on two implants, three splinted crowns on three implants, and three splinted crowns on three implants were included.

Effect of Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Concentrated Growth Factor on Tissues Around Implants in the Maxillary Anterior Region.

Background And Aim: Tissue repair surrounding implants is essential for the cosmetic maxillary anterior zone to respond favorably to implant therapy. Grafting platelets from an individual's blood was developed to overcome the esthetic requirements and speed up healing. Advanced platelet-rich fibrin (APRF) and concentrated growth factor (CGF) are used for good healing.

Microleakage at Implant Abutment and Prosthesis Interface in Cemented Implant-Supported Prosthesis.

Background: Dental implants have an important role in mainstream dental practice today to restore esthetics. The present study was conducted to evaluate the microleakage at implant abutment and prosthesis interface in cemented implant-supported prosthesis.

Materials And Methods: The present study comprised sixty replicas of abutment analog with length 5 mm, width of platform 4.

Assessment of Habits of Tobacco Use among Dental and Nondental Students of Indian Population: A Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Tobacco usage can be equated to an unending progressive pandemic which continues to spread globally at an alarming unhindered pace. Dental surgeons have a key role in initiating reduction and even cessation of tobacco habits. Hence, the present study was undertaken for analyzing the habits of tobacco use among dental and nondental students of Indian population.

Development of Carbamazepine Nanostructured Lipid Carrier Loaded Thermosensitive Gel for Intranasal Delivery.

The present research work was designed to formulate and evaluate carbamazepine (CBZ) loaded nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) based gel for nasal delivery. The NLC formulation of CBZ was prepared by microemulsion technique followed by probe sonication and evaluated for particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency and in vitro drug diffusion. NLC formulation was incorporated into gelling formulation using poloxamer 407 (P407), poloxamer 188 (P188) and mucoadhesive polymer.

An Innovative Method to Determine the Width of Maxillary Anterior Teeth with the Help of Measurements Obtained from the Master Cast.

Aim: Analyse the correlation between the measurements made from the landmarks on the cast and the width of the anterior teeth in dentulous study subjects and assessed whether a similar correlation exists in edentulous condition.

Materials And Methods: Measurements were made on the cast of dentulous and edentulous subjects. The measurements made were, from incisive papilla to the right hamular notch, from incisiv e papilla to left hamular notch and distance between two hamular notches.

Formulation and Optimization of Topical Solid Lipid Nanoparticles based Gel of Dapsone Using Design of Experiment.

Objective: The present research work was designed to formulate and evaluate solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) loaded gel of Dapsone (DS). An attempt was made to develop topical gel with better skin permeation rate.

Method: The SLN formulations of DS were prepared by microemulsion technique and evaluated for its in vitro characteristics.

Gingival-colored Porcelain: A Clinical Report of an Esthetic-prosthetic Paradigm.

Traditionally, periodontics has been instrumental in treating hard- and soft-tissue defect. Surgical and regenerative periodontal procedures can reconstruct the three-dimensional architecture of the hard- and soft-tissue defect. However, at times, these invasive procedures leave the patients with an esthetic problem.
