Marginal bone loss in implant placement among Indian patients with fresh extraction socket.

It is of interest to examine the Marginal Bone Loss (MBL) around a single titanium implant that was immediately loaded and implanted in a healed or new extraction site in the maxilla over a period of five years. This study involved 36 participants (21 men and 15 women, with an average age of 31 years), all of whom needed to have a single implant placed in the front maxillae.

A Comparative Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy of Triphala and Calcium Hydroxide as Intracanal Medicament: An Study.

Background: The goal for placement of intracanal medicament during pulpal therapy procedures is to eradicate the bacteria and the exotoxins from the infected root canal, thereby preventing and controlling pulpal and periradicular infections. Chemo-mechanical preparation is considered an essential step in root canal disinfection; but to accomplish the total elimination of bacteria in highly complex root canal anatomy is difficult. Intracanal medicaments help eliminate bacteria by remaining in the root canal, and calcium hydroxide has been recommended as one of the most effective antimicrobial dressings during endodontic therapy.
