Optimizing orthodontic anchorage: comparative evaluation of larger diameter, shorter length mini-implants for enhanced mechanical stability.

We aim to assess and contrast the mechanical stability of two mini-implant designs, featuring larger diameters and shorter lengths, for orthodontic anchorage against a conventional group of implants.

Evaluation of Awareness Toward Various Treatment Options and Maintenance Practices among Removable Partial and Complete Denture Patients in Western Maharashtra - A Questionnaire-Based Study.

Introduction: Researchers must concentrate their focus on whether patients understand various treatment options available among removable complete and partial denture patients and whether they are aware of the maintenance protocol of the prosthesis.

Materials And Methods: All the patients who completed removable partial or complete denture treatment in a period of 6 months were included in the study. Collected data were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test at a significance level of < 0.

Mandibular Ramus: An Indicator for Gender Determination.

Background The goal of this study is to use digital orthopantomographs (OPGs) to find out the role the mandibular ramus plays in figuring out a person's gender. Methodology Six hundred digital OPGs of patients, aged 21 to 50 years of either gender, fulfilling the exclusion and inclusion criteria, were randomly selected from the department archives exclusively for this digital retrospective study. All the scans were anonymized before the analysis.

Correlation of ultrasonographic measurements, histopathological grading, and clinical staging in oral submucous fibrosis.

Aims And Objectives: To evaluate the presence and thickness of submucosal fibrosis in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients ultrasonographically and to correlate these findings with the clinical stage and histological grade of OSMF.

Materials And Methods: Forty participants (twenty cases and twenty controls) were included in the study. The patients diagnosed clinically as having OSMF and consented for biopsy were included in the cases, and completely healthy individuals with no habit history or oral lesions were included in the control group after matching the body mass index.

An Atypical Presentation of Multiple Central Osteomas Mimicking Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia - A Pictorial Essay.

Osteoma is benign neoplasm with slow growth characterized by deposition of compact lamellar cortical or cancellous bone creating a tumour mass. It is still unclear whether osteomas are benign neoplasms or hamartomas. They have typical clinical presentations and are easily diagnosed with the help of radiographs.
