While early loading protocols can reduce treatment time and improve patient comfort, their impact on peri‐implant crestal bone stability and bone density compared to conventional delayed loading remains unclear. PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the changes in peri-implant crestal bone level and bone density for rehabilitation of single missing posterior mandibular tooth with implants in split-mouth cases using early and delayed loading protocol.

Among these, osseointegrated dental implants have demonstrated high success rates, ranging from 83.9% to 98%. However, despite successful osseointegration, implant failure may still occur due to peri-implantitis—a pathological condition marked by inflammation and progressive bone loss around the implant site. Management strategies for peri-implantitis vary depending on severity and are broadly classified into non-surgical and surgical approaches. Non-surgical treatment commonly involves mechanical debridement and adjunctive use of antimicrobial agents such as chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX). Although effective, long-term use of 1% CHX gel is associated with adverse effects, prompting interest in safer alternatives. Herbal and nanomaterial-based formulations have gained attention due to their antimicrobial efficacy and biocompatibility. Palladium nanoparticles and chitosan, in particular, have shown promising antibacterial activity against pathogens implicated in early peri-implant infections. Their incorporation into hydrogels offers a potential site-specific drug delivery system. The present study aims to develop and evaluate a palladium nanoparticle–chitosan hydrogel for its antimicrobial efficacy against early peri-implantitis pathogens, exploring its potential as a novel therapeutic alternative for localized, controlled drug delivery in implant dentistry. PURPOSE To evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy and the osteogenic potential of palladium nanoparticles and chitosan hydrogel coated on titanium discs.

Ti6Al4V titanium alloys are preferred for their mechanical properties and biocompatibility over traditional materials like stainless steel 316L and cobalt-chromium alloys. However, titanium has limitations as an implant material. Such as lack of antimicrobial property, bio inertness which leads to increases the risk of implant failure or loosening. Surface modification also seeks to improve the implant’s antibacterial qualities, corrosion resistance, and bioactivity while maintaining its mechanical qualities and biocompatibility. Although commercially available antimicrobials are used to address early periimplantitis, their release at suboptimal concentrations may lead to bacterial resistance, while high doses can disrupt the oral microflora, cause cell toxicity, and hinder osseointegration. This research study explores traditional natural medicines to achieve predictable results on specific parameters. Triphala Powder (TC), a blend of three fruits—Emblica officinalis, Terminalia bellerica, and Terminalia chebula—is rich in vitamin C, nicotinic acid, and Chebulinic acid, which have antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Incorporating TC into a hydrogel mixture can enhance the implant osteotomy site by decreasing microbial activity. Additionally, Cissus quadrangularis, another herbal remedy, has shown osteogenic potential, which may facilitate bone formation between the bone and implant, improving bone-implant contact and osseointegration. The study aims to assess how well TC and CQ integrate xxv in a hydrogel form to address osseointegration and antimicrobial efficacy, highlighting the potential benefits of these natural remedies in implant dentistry. AIM To Evaluate the efficacy of novel hydrogel containing Triphala and Cissus Quadrangularis extracts, for antimicrobial activity and osteogenic potential at the site of dental implant.

Surfaces of contact between occluding teeth dictate the area accessible to shearing food with each chewing cycle, and a variety of parameters, including bite forc e, occlusal contact area, and the number of functioning teeth, may affect masticatory efficiency. The distribution of occlusal forces may differ in individuals who have had prosthetic rehabilitation using crowns and bridges. To safeguard the stomatognathic system, these forces must be assessed and removed in order to produce a harmonic occlusal force distribution. To demonstrate that both DMLS and traditionally produced crowns are clinically acceptable, comparative investigations on their accuracy and prec ision have been conducted. Shimstock foils and articulating sheets are utilised to document occlusal differences. But only qualitative evaluation is possible. By transforming qualitative data into quantitative characteristics and digitally presenting them, the T SCAN system accurately captures and evaluates the period of time sequence and force magnitude of the occlusal interactions in order to quantify the occlusal forces. Hence, the present study is undertaken to assess the occlusal force distribution by using T- scan pre-operative and post-cementation of metal crown fabricated by conventional and DMLS techniques - A split-mouth randomized clinical study. AIM Assessment of occlusal force distribution using T-scan pre-operative and post-cementation of full metal crowns fabricated by conventional and DMLS techniques.
