Effect of crown-to-implant ratio on the marginal bone level changes and implant survival - A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The purpose of the systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the existing evidence regarding the effect of crown-to-implant ratio (CIR) on the peri-implant crestal bone level change and implant survival. Randomized controlled clinical trials, prospective as well as retrospective studies with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months and 10 patients per group were included for this systematic review. Statistical analysis was performed to determine CIR effects on the peri-implant marginal bone level changes and implant survival.

Evaluation of Eruption Pattern and Caries Occurrence among Children Affected with Fluorosis.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate eruption pattern and occurrence of caries in children affected with fluorosis.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and fifty subjects (75 each with/without fluorosis) with age group of 7-8 years were selected. Dental fluorosis assessed on the buccal surfaces of the permanent incisors and molars and scored using the Thylstrup and Fejerskov index.

Comparison of the Effect for Fracture Resistance of Different Coronally Extended Post Length with Two Different Post Materials.

Aims And Objectives: To compare the effect for fracture resistance of different coronally extended post length with two different post materials.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and sixty endodontically treated maxillary central incisors embedded in acrylic resin with decoronated root portion were taken for the study. The postspaces were prepared according to standard protocol.

Assessment of Inhibition of Mineral Loss from Human Tooth Enamel by Carbon Dioxide Laser and 1.23% Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride.

Aims And Objectives: The efficacy of carbon dioxide (CO) laser irradiation combined with fluoride in inhibiting enamel demineralization has been demonstrated by several laboratory investigations. However, there are very few reports about the or caries preventive effect of CO laser combined with topical fluoride on dental enamel. Hence, an study was designed and carried out to assess inhibition of mineral loss from human tooth enamel by CO laser and 1.

Endodontic management of central incisor associated with large periapical lesion and fused supernumerary root: a conservative approach.

Fusion and gemination are developmental anomalies of teeth that may require endodontic treatment. Fusion may cause various clinical problems related to esthetics, tooth spacing, and other periodontal complications. Additional diagnostic tools are required for the diagnosis and the treatment planning of fused tooth.

Actinomycotic osteomyelitis of palate masquerading periapical pathology: A rare case report.

Osteomyelitis is an infection that is challenging to manage due to the poor vascularization of bone that favors the proliferation of microorganisms. We report a case of osteomyelitis occurring in endodontically treated teeth in the maxillary palatal region. Clinically and radiographically, it was initially diagnosed as osteomyelitis and was treated accordingly with antibiotics for 1 year with no reported healing.

Microabrasion using 18% hydrochloric acid and 37% phosphoric acid in various degrees of fluorosis - an in vivo comparision.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of 18% hydrochloric acid and 37% phosphoric acid by an in vivo comparison.

Methods: Sixty fluorotic permanent maxillary central incisors from 30 patients were divided into 3 categories. The teeth received 5 seconds (mild fluorosis), 20 seconds (moderate fluorosis) and 30 seconds (severe fluorosis) application of 18% hydrochloric acid on 11 and 37% phosphoric acid on 21.
