Background The aim of this study was to identify any associations between predictor variables, mainly clinician training and dental implant outcome, among the residents in different departments and to compare statistical analysis with the use of MATLAB R2017a™ to SAS version 9.4. Methods Dental records were reviewed from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2015. Two thousand forty-eight dental implants were placed on 471 patients seen by residents from the departments of Periodontics, Prosthodontics, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center School of Dentistry. The following parameters were investigated by means of multilevel logistic regression analysis: demographics, implant parameters, department, and residents’ year of training. Results A total of 1449 implants were included in the study. Overall, within a 1–5-year time period, 1343 (92.6%) implants had survived and 106 (7.4%) implants failed. Discipline ( p = 0.0004), residents’ year of training ( p < 0.0001), and implant systems ( p = 0.0024) showed significant associations with implant outcome. Periodontics had a survival rate of 94.14% followed by Prosthodontics (91.48%) and OMFS (89.64%). The survival rates of implants by year of training were as follows: third-year Periodontics and OMFS (94.20%), second-year (89.38%), and first-year (88.6%). Conclusion The level and type of clinician training had an impact on implant outcome in different residency programs. Further studies will be necessary to identify the reasons for the differences in implant failure rates.

Context Understanding the motivators and obstacles behind pursuing advanced dental education is essential in planning pedagogy, mentorship programs, and curricula that support dental students to achieve their future career goals. Purpose The objective of this study was to investigate factors influencing dental student's choice to pursue a postgraduate specialization at University of New England College of Dental Medicine with a focus on student personality. Factors examined include demographics, religious affiliations, prior education, dental experiences, expected debt, past career choices, beliefs about the process of specialization, and personality types. Method A total of 232 dental students (91.6% response rate) completed a self‐administered questionnaire. About 21.6% of dental students intended to pursue a dental specialty while 38.8% wanted to pursue a nondental Masters’ program. Approximately one‐third of dental students were interested in practicing as general dentists or pursuing additional training in general dentistry. Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry were the top choices for dental specialization. Results Being younger, having a dentist family member, nonwhite ethnicity, and having Extraverted and Sensing personality were found to be significant predictors of dental students’ intention to pursue advanced dental education. Having a unique talent or skills, past exposure to dental treatments, family/peer expectations, geographic location of the residency program and its proximity to the family were the most identified factors while considering residency program. Conclusion Results in this study are consistent with previous literature and bring attention to the importance of understanding students' personality in teaching methodologies, mentorship and determining their future goals. The findings allow dental institutions to better prepare their predoctoral candidate for residency.

The Ayurveda combines the Sanskrit words Ayu (life) and Veda (science or knowledge) thus Ayurveda means science of life. Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine having emergence a thousand year ago. Since that ancient time Ayurvedic Aacharyas were well known by existence of Krimis, and they have mentioned it in their various literatures regarding its Nidana (causes), Sankhya (different number), Naamkarana (terminology), Swarupa (appearance), Lakshana (symptoms), Sthana (finding area) Chikitsa Vyavastha (management), Yoga (Kriminasaka formulation). Even in the modern era Krimi has been considered a life-threating issue as it causes illness in children and adult human beings having numbers of local to systemic manifestations such as Kandu, Kotha, Pidika, Shoola, Agnimandhya, Panduta, Vishthambhi, Balanasa, Lalasarava, Aruchi, Hridyaroga, and Atisara. In this review, an article effort has been made to elaborate the concept of Krimi chronologically from different Ayurvedic treatises and also to detailed the different perspective regarding its management as per traditional system of medicine.
