Relationship Between Osteoporosis and Marginal Bone Loss in Osseointegrated Implants: A 2-Year Retrospective Study

Background: Fitting implants in osteoporotic patients has raditionally been controversial, and there is little scientific evidence relating osteoporosis to marginal bone loss (MBL). The aims of this study are as follows: 1) to evaluate the possibility of a correlation between osteoporosis, as measured by the mandibular cortical index (MCI), and MBL and 2) to assess how various systemic diseases, periodontitis, and placement of implants in regenerated bone are correlated with MBL and MCI. Methods: This retrospective study examines 212 implants inserted in 67 patients. To take a possible cluster failure into account, an implant for each patient was selected (n = 67 implants). MBL was assessed. Osteoporosis was evaluated using the MCI. Both MBL and MCI were assessed from panoramic radiographs. x2 test was performed (Haberman post hoc test). Significance was P <0.05. Results: When the total sample implant (N = 212) was evaluated, a significant association was found between the presence of osteoporosis and MCI (P <0.001) and between the presence of diabetes mellitus and MCI (P <0.01). Significant associations were also found between MBL and placement of implants in regenerated sites (P <0.001) and between MBL and a previous history of periodontitis (P <0.05). When the sample is evaluated only in selected implants (one per patient, n = 67), significant differences appear to relate only to the MBL with the placement of implants in regenerated bone sites (P <0.001). Conclusions: Osteoporosis (as evaluated by MCI) does not pose a risk for the development of greater MBL. Parameters adversely affecting the development of increased MBL are a previous history of periodontitis and especially the placement of implants at sites of bone regeneration

Unveiling of Taste Disorders: An Overview

ABSTRACT Taste is the sensation produced when a substance in the mouth react chemically with the taste receptor cells located on the taste buds. Taste abnormality associated with abnormal substances, such as food debris, dental plaque, abnormal salivary constituents, metabolic products of bacteria and fungi and inflammatory exudates in the oral cavity. Accurate diagnosis of taste loss is the foremost step in the treatment of taste abnormalities. It is therefore helpful for both patient and health care provider to unravel the accurate cause.

A critical study on Twak as a Matruja Bhava

Twak is a Matruja Bhava. Organs derived from the maternal source in the embryo are nothing but the organs formed from the Shonita (Artava) of the mother. X chromosome of both the ovum and sperm can be considered as a part of Artava as a female child retains her two X chromosomes from her mother and father’s mother (grandmother) and a male child retains his X chromosome from his mother. Mutations in the genes of X chromosome lead to abnormalities in skin, which explains the possibility of Twak as a Matruja Bhava
