Objectives: The ambition of this research is to gauge marginal bone loss (MBL) and peri-implant tissue health by comparing immediate and delayed implant implantation in a tertiary care setting.
Methods: Subjects who had immediate and delayed implants were assessed. Clinical indicators such as bleeding on probing (BOP), peri-implant probing depth, and MBL were assessed at baseline and six months postimplantation. A result was considered statistically significant if it was P < 0.05.
Findings: At first, there was no discernible variance between the demographic traits of the two groups. Regarding MBL and peri-implant probing depth, there were statistically significant (P < 0.05) deviations between groups at the six-month mark following implant installation. There were no appreciable variations in bleeding between the two groups, according to probing.
Conclusion: In summary, compared to delayed implant placement, rapid implant placement was associated with MBL and increased peri-implant probing depth throughout a six-month follow-up period. These results emphasize the need for careful patient selection and treatment planning in implant dentistry.

Background: This study was conducted to assess the prosthodontic status and treatment needs of patients visiting dental institutions of a known population.
Material and methods: This study comprised a total of 100 participants. The research excluded patients who did not have any prosthodontic appliances or who had dental crowns (no missing teeth). The subjects involved in the study had dental bridges, dentures, removable partial dentures, or a combination of the two. Subjects in the research were asked to tell their education, oral hygiene routines, and dentist visit behaviors. The data collected was utilized to determine the association between the variables and prosthodontics status. A thorough clinical examination of these subjects was done. The data had been analyzed using the statistical program SPSS 13. The analyses were carried out using Chi-square tests and the appropriate C-coefficient.
Results: In this study, there were 50 males and 50 females. Out of 100 subjects, 45 subjects were found to be completely edentulous without any prosthodontic appliance. Complete dentures were noticed in 11 subjects, removable dentures in 29 subjects, and fixed appliances in 15 subjects.
Conclusion: This survey presented that most of the subjects were completely edentulous without any prosthetic appliance. Examination of such subjects must be done on a regular basis and an appropriate treatment plan must be constructed for the well-being of these patients.

Objectives: The purpose of this research was to evaluate, in a tertiary care context, the effects of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection on the incidence and prognosis of oral malignancies.
Methods: At a tertiary care hospital, 100 patients who received an oral cancer diagnosis between 2020 and 2022 were the subject of a retrospective analysis. Medical records were used to gather clinicopathological data, and histopathological specimens' molecular analyses were used to ascertain the HPV infection status. To assess the variations in overall and disease-free survival between HPV-positive [HPV+] and HPV-negative [HPV-] patients, survival analysis was done.
Results: Of the oral malignancies that tested positive for HPV, 25% were caused by strains HPV-16 and HPV-18. Patients who tested positive for HPV had unique clinicopathological characteristics, such as a decreased prevalence of lymph node involvement, nonkeratinizing histology, and younger age at diagnosis. When compared to HPV- patients, HPV+ patients had substantially better overall survival (P = 0.032) and disease-free survival (P = 0.047) according to survival analysis.
Conclusion: The incidence and prognosis of oral malignancies are significantly impacted by HPV infection, as demonstrated by current data. When compared to HPV- cancers, HPV+ tumors have different clinicopathological characteristics and improved survival rates. These findings have implications for therapy selection and prognostication, and they highlight the significance of HPV testing in the therapeutic management of oral malignancies. To understand the underlying molecular pathways and provide tailored therapeutics for oral malignancies that are HPV+, more research is required.

Introduction: Obturation of the canal space, efficient disinfection, and thorough canal debridement are essential components of endodontic therapy success. A crucial first step is biomechanical preparation.
Objectives: This study set out to assess various file systems' cleaning efficacy in terms of the thickness of dentin that remained after cleaning.
Materials and method: Twenty permanently removed anterior teeth were used in the investigation, and they were split into two groups: Group B used reciprocating WaveOne file systems, and Group A used ProTaper Next (PTN). After obtaining a pre-CBCT scan, the corresponding file groups proceeded with biomechanical preparation. A post-CBCT scan was obtained, and the dentin thickness remaining was compared between the pre- and post-CBCT scans. Statistics were used to analyze the data.
Result: Dentin thickness decrease was shown to be minimal for ProTaper Next (PTN) and maximal for WaveOne; nonetheless, the intergroup comparison was deemed to be highly inconsequential.
Conclusion: After biomechanical preparation, WaveOne is a highly recommended rotary endodontic device that does not significantly reduce the residual dentin thickness.
导言:管腔封堵、高效消毒和彻底清管是牙髓治疗成功的重要组成部分。生物力学准备是至关重要的第一步:本研究旨在根据清洁后残留的牙本质厚度评估各种锉系统的清洁效果:调查使用了 20 颗永久性拔除的前牙,并将其分为两组:B 组使用往复式 WaveOne 锉系统,A 组使用 ProTaper Next (PTN)。在获得预CBCT扫描后,相应的锉组开始进行生物力学准备。获得CBCT后扫描结果后,比较CBCT前扫描结果和CBCT后扫描结果中剩余的牙本质厚度。使用统计学方法分析数据:结果表明,ProTaper Next (PTN) 的牙本质厚度减少得最少,而 WaveOne 的牙本质厚度减少得最多;不过,组间比较被认为是非常不重要的:结论:经过生物力学准备后,WaveOne 是一种非常值得推荐的旋转根管治疗器,它不会显著减少残余牙本质厚度。

Background: Providing adequate nutritional support to neonates and children undergoing surgery is crucial for their recovery and overall health outcomes. However, there are various challenges associated with this, including the unique nutritional requirements of this population and the potential complications that can arise pre- and post-surgery.
Materials and methods: This study aimed to assess the practices and challenges in providing nutritional support to neonates and children both pre- and post-surgery, and to analyze its impact on recovery and outcomes. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 200 neonates and children who underwent surgery over a two-year period. Data regarding preoperative nutritional status, types of nutritional support provided, postoperative complications, and recovery outcomes were collected and analyzed.
Results: The study found that 65% of neonates and children were malnourished preoperatively, with 45% experiencing delays in initiating enteral feeding post-surgery due to complications such as gastrointestinal intolerance and surgical complications. Among those who received parenteral nutrition, 30% developed catheter-related bloodstream infections. Overall, the mean length of hospital stay was prolonged by 7 days in malnourished patients compared to adequately nourished patients.
Conclusion: Effective nutritional support in neonates and children undergoing surgery is essential for optimal recovery and outcomes. However, significant challenges exist, including preoperative malnutrition, delays in initiating enteral feeding, and complications associated with parenteral nutrition. Strategies to optimize nutritional status preoperatively, minimize postoperative complications, and enhance nutritional support are imperative to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population.

Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term results of orthodontic treatment with traditional braces and Invisalign, with a particular emphasis on treatment length, patient satisfaction, correction of malocclusion, and long-term stability.
Methods: Between 2020 and 2022, individuals who had orthodontic treatment at a tertiary care center had their data analysed. Patients with mild to severe malocclusions treated with conventional braces or Invisalign between the ages of 12 and 18 met the inclusion criteria. Assessments were done on results, length of treatment, degree of malocclusion, and long-term stability. With significance set at P < 0.05, statistical analyses comprised t-tests for treatment duration and Chi-square testing for malocclusion correction.
Findings: The mean treatment time for Invisalign was much shorter (18 months) than for conventional braces (24 months) (P < 0.001). With 88-90% success rates, both techniques demonstrated remarkable success rates in malocclusion treatment. Even though Invisalign was associated with a somewhat greater percentage of relapse instances, the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: In conclusion, Invisalign showed a much shorter treatment period than conventional braces, yet both showed excellent malocclusion correction. The choice of modality should be based on patient satisfaction, treatment objectives, and case complexity, taking into account the trade-offs between treatment length and potential variations in long-term stability.

Introduction: Dental erosion is common, and patient ignorance is a major issue. Extrinsic and intrinsic factors affect erosion. Some recommend evaluating and treating erosion patients following a brief review of the causes. These involve a comprehensive evaluation of the condition and medical history to identify risk factors for further tooth deterioration. To prevent further degeneration, immediate restorative therapy is needed.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire was given to Kerala Dental Clinic patients with dentinal hypersensitivity (DH). A total of 5 random clinics from 14 Kerala districts were chosen. At least a total of 1848 of 3500 patients responded. During the COVID-19 epidemic, an online semistructured survey was created using Google Forms to collect data. The current isolation approach discourages large gatherings and face-to-face contact. Google Forms were used to seek informed consent before filling out the questionnaire. Self-administered 20 questions were used to gather information regarding oral hygiene, bad habits, food, and eating disorders, and we inquired whether subjects ate acidic meals and drinks.
Results: Most persons with dentine hypersensitivity eat packaged food (70%), pickles (62%), soft drinks (58%), and sweets (56%). Dental erosion is also linked to alcohol consumption (40.4%), teeth clenching (37.4%), mouth breathing (16.4%), and gum chewing (27.5%). Mouthwash-using DH patients (55%) had tooth disintegration.

Background: Achieving a reliable seal in root canal obturation is essential for the success of endodontic treatment. Despite the availability of multiple techniques, the comparative sealing abilities of these methods remain a topic of investigation, particularly in permanent molars.
Materials and methods: This in vitro study involved 60 extracted permanent molars, divided randomly into three groups: Group A (lateral compaction), Group B (thermoplasticized gutta-percha), and Group C (single cone). After instrumentation and obturation, the sealing ability was assessed using a dye penetration method. Arbitrary values were assigned to quantify the extent of dye penetration.
Results: The mean dye penetration values were as follows: Group B (thermoplasticized gutta-percha) had the lowest penetration (2.1 ± 0.3 mm), followed by Group A (lateral compaction) (3.5 ± 0.4 mm), and Group C (single cone) exhibited the highest penetration (5.2 ± 0.6 mm).
Conclusion: In this study, thermoplasticized gutta-percha demonstrated superior sealing ability compared to lateral compaction and single cone techniques in permanent molars. These findings underscore the importance of selecting an effective obturation technique to ensure optimal seal integrity in root canal therapy.
