Effect of Hydrogel on Enhancing Osseointegration of Titanium Implant to Bone: An Study.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the osteogenic potential of (CQ) hydrogel in enhancing the osseointegration of titanium to the bone in an experimental rabbit model.

Materials And Methods: Six adult male New Zealand white rabbits were used in this study. A total of 24 implants (12 coated test implants and 12 uncoated control implants) were placed in these 6 rabbits.

Novel approach for intermaxillary fixation of fractured mandible using gunning splints for easy disengagement: A case report.

Intermaxillary fixation of gunning splints with an archwire necessitates precision in removal, which can prove hazardous during a life-threatening emergency. This case report describes the treatment of parasymphseal fracture of a patient hailing from remote location with inaccessibility to health care system. Intermaxillary fixation was performed with gunning splints using heavy orthodontic elastics, facilitating ease of removal in case of an emergency.

Comparison of masticatory efficiency, patient satisfaction for single, two, and three implants supported overdenture in the same patient: A pilot study.

Statement Of Problem: Over 30% of the world population suffers from edentulism. Implant supported overdenture have been a relatively successful treatment option for edentulism and have shown to slowed the rate of residual resorption and maintain the vertical height of the residual.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure patient masticatary efficiency and satisfaction with the mandibular one-, two-, and three-implant-retained overdenture therapy when compared with conventional denture in a the same patients.

Single implant supported mandibular overdenture: A literature review.

Purpose: Rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible by implant-supported prosthesis is a successful and satisfying treatment as suggested by many clinical trials. However, the minimum number of implants required for this restoration is debatable. Single implant retained overdenture (SIROD) has gained popularity as a simple protocol.

A Meta-Analysis of the Association between Helicobacter pylori Infection and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease from Published Prospective Studies.

Background: The association between helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and coronary heart disease (CHD) has long been debated, and the results from previous meta-analysis are varied.

Aims: The aim for this study was to identify the association between Hp and CHD using published perspective cohort studies.

Materials And Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed on studies published from January, 1992 to April, 2014.

Simulation in medical school education: review for emergency medicine.

Medical education is rapidly evolving. With the paradigm shift to small-group didactic sessions and focus on clinically oriented case-based scenarios, simulation training has provided educators a novel way to deliver medical education in the 21st century. The field continues to expand in scope and practice and is being incorporated into medical school clerkship education, and specifically in emergency medicine (EM).
