Comparative efficacy of flapped versus flapless dental implant procedures: A meta-analysis.

Objectives: Dental implant procedures are crucial for replacing missing teeth, with various surgical techniques impacting the outcome. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of flapped and flapless surgical techniques on implant survival and marginal bone loss (MBL).

Methods: We included clinical studies with at least ten subjects, excluding review articles, editorials, and conference abstracts.

Pathological tooth migration-spontaneous correction of diastema after surgical periodontal therapy: a case report.

A common consequence of moderate to extreme periodontitis is pathologic migration. This denotes tooth movement when the periodontal disease interjects the equilibrium among the elements that preserve physiological tooth position. The balancing factors can migrate the teeth in any direction.

Mount Vernon Index vs Yen Angle for Assessment of Anteroposterior Apical Jaw Base Relationship.

Aims And Objectives: This research aimed to determine the predictability and variability of the Yen angle and Mount Vernon Index (MVI) in relation to the other four sagittal discrepancy parameters, as well as to evaluate and explain any correlations that exist. The Lateral Cephalograms of 100 Class I Indian participants aged 17-24 years were recorded. The lateral cephalograms were traced for six distinct AP characteristics, including ANB, Wits appraisal, facial convexity, and beta angle, Yen angle, and MVI.

A Case-control Study for the Assessment of Correlation of Denture-related Sores and Oral Cancer Risk.

Introduction: Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Although multifactorial, the exact pathogenesis of oral cancer is still unclear. Apart from tobacco chewing and smoking, chronic long-term irritation by ill-fitting denture is also said to be an important risk factor for the development of oral cancer.

Expression of Myofibroblasts in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: An Immunohistochemical Study.

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common types of malignancy affecting the orafacial region and with a high mortality rate. The fact that stroma of the tumor modulates and facilitates the progression and metastasis of the malignancy has been shown in the past studies. The cells of the activated stroma that are responsible for the progression and metastasis of the tumor are the fibroblasts having smooth muscle properties.

Gingival crevicular blood: As a non-invasive screening tool for diabetes mellitus in dental clinics.

Background: A high number of patients with periodontitis may have undiagnosed diabetes. Self-monitoring devices provide a simple method for rapid monitoring of the glucose level in the blood by utilizing a blood sample from the finger, but this method requires a needle puncture to obtain blood. It is possible that gingival crevicular blood (GCB) from routine periodontal probing may be a source of blood for glucose measurements.

Efficacy of xanthan based chlorhexidine gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in treatment of the chronic periodontitis.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of locally delivered xanthan-based Chlosite(®) gel as an adjunctive therapy to scaling and root planing in treatment of chronic periodontitis.

Materials And Methods: In a randomized controlled clinical study, 30 patients were selected. Pocket depth between 5 and 7 mm was selected and each patient had two sites on the same side of the mouth.
