BACKGROUND One-piece narrow diameter implants (NDIs) have been recommended as "Single-tooth replacements in the anterior zones, single posterior, multiple-unit fixed dental prosthesis (FDP), edentulous jaws to be rehabilitated with FDP, and edentulous jaws rehabilitation with overdentures in situations with reduced mesiodistal space or reduced ridge width." (ITI consensus 2013). Since NDIs can ...

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate role herbal immunomodulators Immusante and Guduchi in boosting immunity overall health healthcare workers assigned coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) wards. Methods: An open-label, randomized, prospective, single center clinical conducted among 100 COVID-19 Eligible subjects (50 each arm) were randomly either arm I (Immusante+Guduchi tablet...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the initial stability of different implants placed above the bone level in different types of bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS As described by Lekholm and Zarb, cortical layers of bovine bone specimens were trimmed to a thickness of 2 mm, 1 mm or totally removed to reproduce bone types II, III, and IV respectively. Three Implant system (Brånemark System® Mk III TiUnite...

PURPOSE This is the first study to report the clinical outcomes of photofunctionalized dental implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study analyzed 95 consecutive patients who received 222 untreated implants and 70 patients who received 168 photofunctionalized implants over a follow-up period of 2.5 years. Photofunctionalization was performed by treating implants with UV light for...

Wireless Sensor networks are battery powered due to which their lifetime is very limited. In camera an equipped wireless sensor node, life time of sensor network is decreased quickly due to battery and processing power constraints when image is processed and is transferred to the destination. The image compression not only helps to reduce the communication latency but also gives energy efficien...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability during healing and before loading of implants placed at two different supracrestal levels according to their collar texture. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included patients who received posterior implants with the same macro design. Implants with a machined collar were placed 0.3 mm above the crestal bone (M group), ...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM A few of studies which compared and continuously measured the stability of various surface treated implants in the same individual had been performed. PURPOSE We aim to find the clinical significance of surface treatments by observing the differences in the stabilization stages of implant stability. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eight different surface topographies of dental imp...

BACKGROUND Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) is applied clinically for the assessment of implant stability, and the relevance of this application is widely accepted. However, the relationship between resonance frequency (RF) and other parameters of implant stability, such as the histomorphometrical bone-to-implant contact (BIC) parameter, has become controversial in the last decade. OBJECTIV...

The resonance frequency analysis (RFA) technique for implant stability measurements was developed by Meredith and coworkers more than 20 years ago. RFA makes use of a transducer (peg), which is attached to the implant and excited over a range of frequencies by electro-magnetic waves to measure the resonance frequency (RF) of the transducer. The underlying RF measurements in Hz are translated to...
