Comparative Analysis of Biofilm Formation on Materials Used for the Fabrication of Implant Supported Prostheses.

Background: Zirconia and other dental pottery, heat-restored polymethyl methacrylate, titanium and other metal amalgams, or a mix of these materials are utilized to fix inserts. It is important to choose a material that is resistant to bacterial colonization for implant-supported prostheses, but durability and aesthetics are important factors as well.

Aim: Biofilm generation on materials used in implant-supported dental prosthesis manufacturing was an objective of this investigation.

To Check the Reliability of Various Cephalometric Parameters used for Predicting the Type of Malocclusions and Growth Patterns.

Background: There are many different types of malocclusions that may result from the sagittal, vertical, or transverse deviations in normal craniofacial development. When it comes to orthodontic problems, malocclusions in the sagittal plane may have a considerable impact on a person's self-esteem as well as their ability to speak and eat properly. Sagittal anomalies in the skeletal, dental, and soft tissue systems may now be accurately diagnosed using a universally accepted standard lateral cephalogram (SLCE).

Oral Health Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices among the Health-Care Professionals: A Questionnaire-Based Survey.

Objective: The objective of the study is to determine the oral health knowledge, attitude, and practices among the health-care workers (HCWs).

Materials And Methods: The present questionnaire-based survey among 473 HCW comprising of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, technicians, and interns was carried out to know the oral health knowledge, attitude, and practices among different HCW. Responses were recorded and data were assessed through descriptive statistics and by applying analysis of variance, Chi-square, and z-tests.
