Evaluation of Primary and Secondary Stability of Endosseous Dental Implants With and Without the Use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin: A Clinical Study.

Background: This clinical study investigates platelet-rich fibrin's (PRF) impact on dental implant stability, addressing global oral health challenges and limitations of traditional methods. Emphasizing osseointegration's pivotal role, the study explores PRF's potential in enhancing implant stability, assessing it through resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and implant stability quotient (ISQ). The hypothesis suggests PRF may improve both primary and secondary stability, aiming to uncover clinical benefits in dental implant procedures Materials and methods: The study involved 24 subjects from the Department of Periodontics outpatient clinics with a meticulously designed methodology.

Analysis of Surface Roughness and Three-dimensional Scanning Topography of Zirconia Implants before and after Photofunctionalization by Atomic Force Microscopy: An Study.

Aim: To analyze surface roughness and three-dimensional (3D) scanning topography parameters of zirconia implants before and after photofunctionalization by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Materials And Methods: Ten commercially available zirconia implants five each in the study and control group were taken. The study group was subjected to ultraviolet (UV) radiation for 48 h using the shorter wavelength of 254 nm.

Analysis of Surface Morphology and Elemental Composition on Zirconia Implants Before and After Photofunctionalization by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X ray Spectroscopy - An Study.

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze the surface morphology and elemental composition of zirconia implants before and after photofunctionalization.

Materials And Methods: Ten zirconia implants (white sky implant system- Bredent Company) five each in the study group and control group was taken. Study group samples were treated with ultraviolet light for 48 h.

Comparison of flexural strength in three types of denture base resins: An in vitro study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the flexural strength of a commercially available, heat polymerized acrylic denture base material could be improved using reinforcements.

Materials And Methods: A total of 30 specimens (65 mm × 10 mm × 3 mm) were fabricated; the specimens were divided into three groups with 10 specimens each. They were Group 1 - conventional denture base resins, Group 2 - high impact denture base resins, and Group 3 - glass reinforced denture base resins.

Facial nerve paralysis: A case report of rare complication in uncontrolled diabetic patient with mucormycosis.

Mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic aggressive and fatal infection caused by mucor fungus. Seven types of mucormycosis are identified based on the extension and involvement of the lesion, of which the rhino orbital mucormycosis is most common in the head and neck region. Although it is widely spread in nature, clinical cases are rare and observed only in immunocompromised patients and patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
