RESUMEN
Background: Because of its integrated design and possible benefits over conventional two-piece systems, single-piece implant systems have grown in favor in the field of dental implantology. There is, however, still a dearth of information about their long-term stability and clinical results. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical results, such as implant survival rates, peri-implant tissue health, and marginal bone levels, to determine the long-term stability of single-piece implant systems. Methods: About 127 individuals who got single-piece implants at the tertiary care center were the subject of a retrospective analysis. Standardized procedures were followed for implant implantation, and patients were monitored for at least five years afterward. Through radiographic analysis and clinical tests, clinical indicators such as marginal bone levels, peri-implant tissue health, and implant survival rates were evaluated. Results: With low marginal bone loss and good peri-implant tissue health, the research showed a high implant survival rate of 96.5%. A statistical study revealed significant relationships between marginal bone loss (P < 0.01), peri-implant tissue health (P < 0.05), and implant survival. Conclusion: In this study, single-piece implant devices showed good long-term durability and clinical results. These results confirm its effectiveness as a dependable dental rehabilitation alternative, highlighting the significance of preserving the health of the peri-implant tissue and reducing marginal bone loss to guarantee implant success.
RESUMEN
Aim: This study was performed with the idea of assessing age and gender utilizing differences in osseous microanatomy in human jawbones. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted retrospectively among human jawbone samples. Various morphometric assessments such as trabecular width, marrow space, and their corelation were studied. In the samples, variations among osteon numbers, differences in the shapes of the osteocytes of jawbones, and amount of inflammation in the bony areas were recorded. Results: It was noted in this study that mean values of the diameter of the Haversian canal and vessel density had a noteworthy increase in female jawbone samples. The amount of osteocytes in both female and male bone samples was also statistically significant in terms of the correlation coefficient. Conclusion: We concluded that more sensitive identification of human remains, that is, age and gender analysis, can be performed by histomorphometric evaluation of bone remains.
RESUMEN
Introduction: Pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity or a physiological microbiome imbalance can cause or maintain disease. Thus, this work examined a novel betadine-saline combination for antibacterial and antifungal activities. Materials and Methods: This study was in vitro. Betadine, saline, and their mixtures were tested for Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Aspergillus niger (gram-negative). Pour plate and disc diffusion methods were used to test CFUs, DZI, and RZI for various agent combinations. Results: For Lactobacillus acidophilus, Betadine 90% + saline 10% had the greatest DZI and RZI at 24 and 12 mm, respectively. For E. coli, Betadine 50% + saline 50% had the highest at 16 and 8 mm. Betadine 60% + saline 40% had 14 mm RZI and the highest antifungal activity. Conclusion: The novel betadine-saline antibacterial and antifungal combination performed well. In vivo research should confirm the existing findings.
RESUMEN
Introduction: In-depth knowledge of common and aberrant pulp morphology is essential for appropriate diagnosis and treatment planning before commencing root canal treatment. The radicular morphology of mandibular molars has been extensively studied. Considerable variation in the number of canals and roots found in these teeth has been reported. Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate the root canal morphology of the mandibular molars among the Rohilkhand population using Dentascan. Materials and Methods: Dentascan images of mandibular molar were taken from 99 extracted teeth that were collected from the Department of Oral Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery, Institute of Dental Sciences, Bareilly, and private clinics. The examination of root canal systems of the teeth was based on Vertucci's classification. Results: The mandibular molar (n = 99) were taken. Out of the 99 teeth examined, three canals were seen in 60 (60.6%) teeth, four canals in 39 (39.4%) teeth, 3% had extra distal roots, and 6% with C-shaped canals. Conclusion: Among mandibular first molars, only 3% had three roots. Mesial roots of the first molar typically present with two canals and two apical foramina with type IV or II canal configuration. Most distal roots of the first molar presented with a type I canal configuration. The remainder were distributed mainly between types II, IV, III, and V. Among 99 mandibular molars, 6% had single C-shaped roots.
RESUMEN
Giant cell fibroma (GCF) is a rare case with unique histopathology. It belongs to the broad category of fibrous hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity. It is often mistaken with fibroma and papilloma due to its clinical resemblance. Only its peculiar histopathological features help us to distinguish it from them. The origin of the giant cell is still controversial. Data available is very sparse to predict the exact behavior. Hence, we report a case of GCF of tongue in a 19-year-old male. Special emphasis is given to understand the basic process of development of the lesion, nature of giant cells, and also the need for formation of these peculiar cells. Briefly, the differential diagnosis for GCF is tabulated.
