Failure rates of dental implants are significantly increased in patients taking SSRIs due to depression. Careful case analysis and history of depression may minimize the failure rates.

Introduction- The loss of a considerable amount of tooth structure makes retention of subsequent restorations more problematic and increases likelihood of fracture during functional loading. Different clinical techniques are there, one such technique is post and core. An ideal core build- up material must present excellent mechanical properties to resist the stresses that may be produced during function, providing equitable stress distributions of forces and reducing probability of tensile and compressive failures. Recent developments in flowable and restorative composite resins have resulted in a greater total depth of cure—between 4 and 5 mm for some materials. Materials and Methods: study was conducted in the department of prosthodontics and crown and bridge, including implantology along with external laboratory support and molds for tensile and compressive strength were made. Result- Based on strength, Photocore and Multicore HB may be used as alternatives to Kerr Herculite Precise; however, other physical qualities should also be considered. Conclusion-Within limited data available on recent bulk fill material that is PLT, Kerr Herculite Precis more in vitro and in vivo studies should be held for long term success of the material.

Objectives: QR codes form an integral part of modern-day digitalized information storage technology in almost all the fields. Their utility in oral health-care field also has a huge potential, most of which can be uncovered once the oral health-care professionals are aware about their uses and technique of generation. Materials and Methods: A self-constructed e-questionnaire was validated and circulated through online media to oral health-care professionals in India. Data were subjected to statistical analysis and descriptive statistics were obtained. Comparison of frequencies of categories of variables with groups was done using Chi-square test. Results: The study sample of n = 334 respondents comprised 222 females and 112 males. The age of respondents ranged from 22 to 65 years with a mean age of 28.96 years (S.D = ± 6.877). Majority of respondents were aware about the utility of QR codes in day-to-day aspects as well as dental clinical practice and academics. Although two-thirds of respondents perceived online data management as an easy task, generation of QR codes was considered as relatively more difficult requiring higher technical skills. Conclusion: QR codes can have a wide variety of applications in the field of dentistry such as in prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral pathology, radiology, and forensic odontology. Our findings suggest that most of the dental professionals have convenient access to the technology essential to generate QR code, and yet, about 70% of oral health-care professionals are unaware about their generation technique.

Maxillary denture in atrophic ridges should be as light weight as possible that will give the retention, stability & support to maxillary denture. Rehabilitation of such a condition is very difficult due to inadequate support from Hard and soft tissue .This technique describes a novel method for fabrication of a hollow maxillary complete denture. Usage Abgel it's a absorbable gelatin sponge & this is placed into cavity left by the silicone putty index (Zhermack Zetaplus C Silicone) which gives suitable dimensions between acrylic resin and the denture base resin. Abgel is weightless, sterile & readily available.
