Abstract: Purpose: Hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor for stroke and has been reported in 64% of patients with stroke. Hypertensive emergencies are defined as severe elevations in BP (>180/110 mmHg) associated with evidence of new or worsening target organ damage. Hereby we report a case of Left Homonymous Hemianopia due to Occipital lobe Infarction and superotemporal BRVO. Usually occipital lobe infarcts show hemianopias , but here the patient also developed Branch Retinal vein occlusion in right eye at the same time . This presentation can only lead us to one leading risk factor/cause that is,; Hypertension . So the purpose of our study is to remind my fellow Ophthalmologists and Physicians to consider and treat hypertensive emergencies on priority basis and regular checkups for known hypertensives.

Abstract: Background: Addition of reinforced fiber on heat cured acrylic denture needed because this material lack of flexural strength that easy to fracture. The reinforced fiber used is E-glass fiber and UHWMPE fiber, however along the denture usage in oral cavity the flexural strength can be reduced due to water absorption. Materials and Methods: This is an experimental laboratory study with 36 samples divided into 6 groups, consist of without reinforced fiber, with addition of glass fiber and polyethylene fiber (with and without thermocycling). The effect thermocycling on the flexural strength of heat cured acrylic resin denture base with and without reinforced fiber analyzed with T-Independent.......

Abstract: Bone is a metabolically active tissue that renews itself throughout one's life. Osseointegration is a vital process in which characteristics of the implant like the macro and micro geometry, surface properties, etc. play an important role in modulating cellular and molecular behavior. The process of osseointegration depends on many factors but systemic biological irregularity is seldom considered as a cause for failure in osseointegration of titanium implant. Various nutrients may significantly impact certain parameters of bone remodeling and in turn affect osseointegration. Certain factors in particular, such as levels of vitamin D3, vitamin K, blood sugar and cholesterol are some of the main systemic factors in the host that can contribute or interfere significantly in the process of effective bone tissue formation and growth over the implant surfaces. This review aims to comprehend the significance of vitamin D3, lipoproteins, magnesium and vitamin K levels in optimizing the process of osseointegration around titanium implants.....

Abstract: Background: The passive fit of the endodontic post and the presence of a homogenous cement layer surrounding it can prevent harmful torque and levers on the tooth structure that might predispose it to fracture. If posts are not well adapted to the root canals, a thicker layer of resin cement is necessary to fill them, increasing the shrinkage stresses induced by the polymerization of this material. Since the post adaptation was a crucial factor for successful endodontic restoration, therefore the aim of this in-vitro study will be directed to compare the adaptation of glass fiber posts fabricated by chair side versus in lab CAD/CAM technology. Materials and Methods: A human maxillary central incisor was selected. The selected tooth crown was separated vertical to the tooth-long axis achieving........

Abstract: Background: Dental amalgam is a popular and cost-effective dental restorative material but in recent years concerns emerged over its potential adverse health effects because of its mercury content. The aim of this paper is to identify and review the available published literature and randomized clinical trials on the association of dental amalgam restorations with kidney disease and dysfunction. The secondary objective is to examine the weight of evidence from published literature and randomized clinical trials on the association of dental amalgam restorations with kidney disease and dysfunction. Materials and methods: A systematic search for relevant published literature and randomized clinical trials on "association of dental amalgam restorations with kidney....

Abstract: Background- The surgical approach to pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is always debatable. Though many procedures as Modified Limberg Flap (MLF), Karydakis Flap (KF), Bascom cleft lip technique, Marsupilization are being practiced, the best method is still controversial. In this study we compare the outcome of the MLF and KF operations for pilonidal surgery. Materials and Methods- All healthy patients with chronic pilonidal sinus willing to undergo surgery and willing to be a part of this study were included. The period of study was from February 2017 to January 2020. A total of 80 patients were enrolled in this study. 40 patients underwent MLF operation and another 40 patients underwent KF operation. Five patients.......

Abstract: Background: With growing awareness, many businesses, are striving to alter their practices by taking environmental responsibility. Similarly, the field of dentistry, especially "Prosthodontic" practice, which experiments with wide variety of materials and ultimately generates significant amount of waste on a regular basis, has adopted the concept of "Going Green" so as to make it environment-friendly. Materials and Methods: A cross‐sectional survey was conducted to determine the awareness of green dentistry among Prosthodontist and dental laboratory technicians in Maharashtra. The study included 150 prosthodontist and dental laboratory technicians from all over Maharashtra. The survey included self structured, close-ended questionnaire designed after an intensive.......
