Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the marginal fit of prefabricated occlusal veneers with computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM)-milled zirconia occlusal veneers in the posterior teeth.
Settings And Design: Forty extracted human maxillary premolars were divided into two groups of 20 each. Group 1 was prepared to receive prefabricated occlusal veneers, and Group 2 was prepared to receive CAD-CAM-milled zirconia occlusal veneers.

Article Synopsis
- The research aimed to compare the effects of customized zirconia (Zr) versus titanium (Ti) abutments on early loaded dental implants, focusing on hard tissue (crestal bone levels) and soft tissue (sulcular bleeding index, probing depth, and Pink Esthetic Score).
- A sample of 15 patients with partially dentulous mandibular arches had 30 implants placed, with each patient receiving one implant with Zr abutment and one with Ti abutment in a specific bone density area (Type D2).
- Results showed similar crestal bone loss between Zr and Ti abutments, but Zr abutments had a higher Pink Esthetic Score, indicating better aesthetic outcomes while soft tissue
Aim: The accurate placement of implants in mandible requires consideration for angulations of the bone along with the vertical dimensions. The aim of this present study was to assess the variation of mandibular anatomy using computed tomography (CT) radiography and to evaluate the effect of presence and absence of teeth on the mandibular anatomy before planning an implant surgery.
Materials And Methods: The present population-based retrospective study was conducted using 167 digital CT scan images those selected from departmental archives.
Aim: To compare the intraoral gothic tracing method with panoramic radiographs in patients requiring complete dentures.
Materials And Methods: The present study was conducted on 20 edentulous subjects of both genders. Hanau Wide-Vue semi-adjustable articulator was used to record sagittal condylar guidance in all patients.
