Analyzing Effects of Sickle Cell Disease on Morphometric and Cranial Growth in Indian Population.

Background: Sickle cell disease is the most pervasive autosomal recessive hereditary blood diseases and is characterized by the presence of sickle hemoglobin (HbS), which in turn gives rise to pathophysiological consequences.

Knowledge and awareness of dental implants as a treatment choice in the adult population in North India: A hospital-based study.

Background: Implantology is an emerging field of science, although there are not many subjects who opt for this treatment modality. Replacement of missing or lost teeth with dental prostheses supported by oral implants has been accepted and received positive evaluations from patients who have undergone implant treatment. Today, implant-supported restorations can be considered the treatment of choice from the perspective of occlusal support, preservation of adjacent teeth, and avoidance of a removable partial denture.

Evaluation of Dental Status in Relation to Excessive Horizontal and Vertical Overlap in North Indian Population.
