Clinical, radiographic and biochemical evaluation of One-Piece vs Two-Piece single implants after 5 years of functional loading
Get PDFThe aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic conditions and the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) of two-piece/bone level (TP/BL) versus one-piece/tissue level (OP/TL) single implants with a laser-microgrooved collar after at least 5 years of functional loading
Patient Education on Naloxone and Fentanyl Testing
Get PDFTo educate patients on the importance of naloxone use to prevent unintended opioid overdoses and deaths. To provide community resources for fentanyl testing and destigmatize their use
Pharmacist Interventions increase uptake of pneumonia vaccination in at-risk populations: a review.
Get PDFPneumonia is a large burden to healthcare costs and a large cause of hospitalization (Hayes, BH. Chest. 2018, 153(2), 427), and bacterial pneumonia can be prevented through vaccination. While pediatric vaccinations are routinely given, an additional dose is required for adults 65+ years of age or otherwise immune compromised, including diabetics. Only 22.2% of Immunocompromised patients and 65% of the elderly population have received the extra dose (Hung, MC. CDC. 2022). With pharmacist interventions, these vaccination rates could increase significantly. The purpose of this study was to conduct a review of the literature to identify interventions that have yielded higher pneumonia vaccination rates
Estimation and Comparison of Superoxide Dismutase level in patients with Oral Submucous Fibrosis
Get PDFThe study was conducted to evaluate and compare the levels of antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase(SOD) in blood samples of patients diagnosed with Oral SubmucousFibrosis(OSMF) and their age and sex matched controls and also to compare the SOD levels within the study group between patients with stage I, stage II, stage III and stage IV OSM
Influence of orthodontic treatment on changes in the maxillary sinus dimensions
Get PDFThis study aimed to investigate the correlation of craniofacial morphology with maxillary sinus morphology and to evaluate whether orthodontic treatment facilitates maxillary sinus enlargement in adults
Soft tissue Secrets: A Comparative Analysis of Facial Soft Tissue Thickness in Skeletal Class II Versus Class I Malocclusions
Get PDFThis study aimed to measure facial soft tissue thicknesses in adults with skeletal class II malocclusion and compare them to individuals with skeletal class I relationships. The outcomes intended to provide clinicians with data to enhance treatment strategies for facial reconstruction and esthetics
TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF SURFACE MOISTURE ON DENTINAL SHEAR BOND STRENGTH OF GLASS IONOMER RESTORATIONS IN PRIMARY TEETH:AN IN -VITRO STUDY
Get PDFGlass ionomer cements that form aninevitable part of pediatric restorative dentistryare inherently sensitive to moisture. The influenceof different drying techniques on the shear bondstrength of glass ionomer cements to primaryteeth dentin has not been established.Thepurpose of the study was to evaluate the effects ofdifferent drying methods for different drying timeperiods on the shear bond strength of GC Fuji IX toprimary tooth dentine
Assessment of emotional intelligence among students in dental college
Get PDFOver an extended period, the examination of intelligence predominantly centered on the adaptive deployment of cognitive abilities. In more recent times, scholars such as Gardner (1983) and Sternberg (1988) have proposed comprehensive frameworks for comprehending intelligence. Pioneering the concept of emotional intelligence, Salovey and Mayer (1990) posited that emotional intelligence encompasses three distinct categories of adaptive capabilities: the evaluation and expression of emotions, the regulation of emotions, and the utilization of emotions in problem-solving. The objective is to evaluate emotional intelligence among dental students across various educational institutions
Development of a Protocol for Obtaining Biological Samples for Genetic Testing from Remote Individuals
Get PDFPharmacogenomic sequencing allows individuals to learn more about how they will respond to certain medications but requires shipping of a biological sample. One complication of sending biological samples to remote laboratories is stability. Blood generally yields sufficient quantities of high-quality DNA but requires a clinic visit. Saliva and buccal swabs are routinely used for DNA extractions, but the DNA quality is notoriously low due to the presence of bacteria in the mouth. Additionally, elderly individuals have difficulty producing enough saliva for testing, and the tubes contain several milliliters of liquid and shipping requires special considerations. Dried blood spot cards, which serve as an alternative to saliva and buccal swabs, yield high-quality DNA and ship easily, but may produce a lower yield. This project aims to determine which biological sample methods can reasonably be obtained from remote individuals
The Effects of Aerobic Exercise to Improve Depression in Overweight Adults
Get PDFOverweight/obese adults are at an increased risk for both physical and mental comorbidities (CDC, 2019). Depression is a common comorbidity in those that are obese (CDC, 2019) and the standard of care currently to treat depression may increase the risk of physical comorbidities because weight gain is a common side effect of antidepressants (Hall-Flavin, 2018). The aim of this capstone research paper is to present evidence that an aerobic exercise regimen can be a valid treatment option for depression
