    It enables more accurate three-dimensional evaluation of anatomic structures and directly measures the bone density. The density of the bone is usually expressed in Hounsfield units (HU)1 which is a parameter that provide the most important details about the available bone. A total of 18 fresh femoral heads of swine were taken for the study. The adjacent soft tissues have been removed completely and the surfaces of the bone blocks were made flat using a carbide bur. The thickness of each block was cross-checked using precision vernier calipers and maintained at more than 10 mm. Using the ISQ values as the independent variable, the standardized partial regression coefficients of the thickness of the cortical bone, the voxel value, and the length of the implant were 0.328, 0.306, and 0.422 respectively, all of them are significant variables. It has been observed that there was a correlation between the thickness of the cortical bone or the voxel values obtained from the CBCT scanning images prior to the implant placement and the implant stabilities

    Aim: To determine the Prevalence of Oral mucosal lesions and their association with Pattern of tobacco. Methods: Following ethical approval, a descriptive, cross sectional research with 200 participants was done at the department of oral pathology. Individuals aged 16 and up who visited the research location and were consulted for wilful involvement in the study were included. Personal interviews were used to collect demographic information as well as tobacco use status utilising a selfdesigned proforma. Tobacco consumption habits were broadly classified into four categories based on the following criteria: smokers were those who reported daily or less than daily use of smoked form of tobacco without use of smokeless tobacco, whereas smokeless tobacco users were those who reported daily or less than daily use of smokeless tobacco without use of smoked form of tobacco. Individuals who used both forms throughout the research were classified as dual users, whereas those who never used tobacco or had a history of quitting one or both kinds were classified as nontobacco users. Results: The study population consisted of 100 people, 70 percent of whom were men and 30 percent of whom were females, with a mean age of 47.41 10.52 years

    To assess the serum and salivary biomarkers in people with and without diabetes

    The study was conducted to assess the serum and salivary biomarkers in people with and without diabetes. Among the 100 participants in this cross-sectional comparative study, 59 men and 61 women aged 32 to 59 years old were randomly assigned to category I (consisting of 50 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients of both types 1 and 2) or category II (consisting of 50 healthy volunteers) to serve as comparisons. Since there is no difference in the amounts of salivary biomarkers across the various types of diabetes, they are all grouped together. Several biochemical indicators were measured by measuring the amounts in the participants' saliva and serum samples. There was little to no difference between the two categories when comparing saliva and serum levels. Although there was a strong correlation between serum and salivary glucose, amylase, total proteins, albumin, and globulin levels in DM patients, there was also a strong correlation between diabetics and non-diabetics for these same markers

    To evaluate the correlation between the ABO blood group, lip, and fingerprint pattern

    This research set out to see whether there was a connection between the ABO blood type and the unique patterns found on people's lips and fingerprints.As many as a hundred people were surveyed for this study. Red lip gloss, cellophane tape, white A3 paper, a stamp pad with blue ink, and a magnifying glass were also used.O+ blood type, a full vertical lip print, and a loopy fingerprint pattern were the most common types of individuals.Lip patterns, fingerprints, and blood types are just a few of the personally identifiable characteristics that have been shown to be useful in forensic identification. We found no evidence of a link between these three variables in our analysis
