Aim: The purpose of this study is to calculate von Mises stresses, von Mises strains, deformation, principal stresses and principal elastic strains of non-UV and UV-irradiated hybrid SLA (sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched)-coated titanium implants.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at the Institute of Dentistry, CMH Lahore Medical College. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data of One Hundred and Thirty Eight Dio Hybrid sandblasted and acid-etched implants of identical dimensions (10 mm in length and 4.
Objective: This retrospective, cross-sectional analytical study investigated the incidence of tooth agenesis in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) radiographs of the CLP children were examined for congenitally missing teeth.
Method: This study was conducted at three radiology centers in Lahore, namely, the Pakistan Jinnah MRI and Body Scan Centre, the University of Lahore Radiology Centres, and Fatima Memorial Hospital, from September 2021 to August 2022.
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has immensely affected the world's population at physical and psychosocial levels. Dentists are no different from other healthcare providers, as they are equally if not more exposed to the threat of getting infected.
Objective: To assess the experience and behavior of public and private sector dentists practicing during the COVID-19 pandemic and their knowledge about it.
The possibility of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the improvement of bone and adjacent tissue recovery has previously been validated. However, there is insufficient data supporting the use of platelet-rich plasma to improve the healing of bone and adjacent tissues around an implant in the oral cavity. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to observe the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) concentrate on marginal bone loss and bone density around immediate implant placement using Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT).

Materials And Methods: This interventional experimental study was conducted on nine Dio UFII implants with hybrid sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) surface treatments, divided equally into three groups. Control group A samples were not given UV irradiation, while groups B and C samples were given UVA (382 nm, 25 mWcm) and UVC (260 nm, 15 mWcm) irradiation, respectively.
