A Study on Materials Used and Longevity of Implant-Supported Prostheses.

Objective: This retrospective research was directed to investigate the longevity and maintenance requirements of implant-supported prostheses in subjects treated at a tertiary care center.

Methods: Patient records of individuals who received implant-supported prostheses between January 2018 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic information, implant type, prosthetic design, and follow-up data were collected.

Evaluating the tightness of proximal contact between natural tooth and adjacent implant supported prosthesis.

The changes in interproximal contact between implant supported prosthesis (ISP) and adjacent natural tooth is of interest to dentists. Hence, we evaluated the tightness of proximal contact (PCT) between adjacent natural tooth and ISP by applying a digital force gauge spanning over a period of 1.5 year with a regular follow-up of 3, 6, and 12 months.

Clinical Evaluation of Two Distinct Materials for Implant-Supported Interim Fixed Partial Prostheses: An Original Research.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of posterior resin implant-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) made from two different computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) materials: polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and polyoxymethylene (POM).

Materials And Methods: Twenty-one patients received a total of 49 interim implant-supported FPDs. The same participant received PMMA and POM as part of the control and experimental groups, respectively.

Knowledge and awareness of polycaprolactone and its applications as provisional material in prosthodontic practice: A questionnaire-based survey.

Aim: The present study was done to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of different provisional materials, especially polycaprolactone (PCL) and their application in prosthodontic practice.

Setting And Design: A questionnaire based survey was carried out to assess the knowledge and awareness of PCL and its applications as provisional material in prosthodontic practice.

Materials And Method: A questionnaire-based descriptive study consisting of 10 questions related to different provisional materials and their applications in prosthodontic practice was formulated on Google Forms.

Comparative evaluation of peri-implant stress distribution in implant protected occlusion and cuspally loaded occlusion on a 3 unit implant supported fixed partial denture: A 3D finite element analysis study.

Purpose: To assess peri-implant stress distribution using finite element analysis in implant supported fixed partial denture with occlusal schemes of cuspally loaded occlusion and implant protected occlusion.

Materials And Methods: A 3-D finite element model of mandible with D2 bone with partially edentulism with unilateral distal extension was made. Two Ti alloy identical implants with 4.

Significance of maternal periodontal health in preeclampsia.

Objective: The aim of the present case-control study was to evaluate the association between maternal periodontitis and preeclampsia. Association studies between maternal periodontitis and elevated risk for preeclampsia have shown conflicting results. Periodontal maintenance is necessary to reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes like preeclampsia.

Evaluation of calcium sulphate barrier to collagen membrane in intrabony defects.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to clinically and radiographically evaluate and compare treatment of intrabony defects with the use of decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft in combination with a calcium sulphate barrier to collagen membrane.

Methods: Twelve patients having chronic periodontal disease aged 20 to 50 years and with a probing depth >6 mm were selected. Classification of patient defects into experimental and control groups was made randomly.
