Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) suffers from the attack of various pests throughout its cropping season. Different insecticides are used to control these pest infestations. The application of these insecticides on brinjal plants may have an effect on its quality and nutritional parameters of fruit samples. In the present study effect of three different insecticides viz. Triazophos 40% E.C Carbaryl 50% W.D.P, Cypermethrin 10% E.C, and Azadiractin 10000 ppm formulation belonging to different groups namely Organophosphate, Carbamate, Synthetic pyrethroids and Botanical insecticide on brinjal fruit quality, nutritional parameters and Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were assessed in field conditions. The results showed that different insecticide at field application dose showed minute insignificant variation in fruit nutritional and total antioxidant activity parameters in comparison to the control samples. The fruit quality parameters also showed minute variation in comparison to the control except in the case of Triazophos treated samples which showed significant variation (p<0.05) in titrable acidity, total soluble sugar content and crude protein.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to compare the retention between sectional border molding using low fusing greenstick compound and single step border molding using condensation silicone (putty) impression material in two stages- A. After final impression and B. With the temporary denture base. Materials & Methods: In this study evaluation of retentive values of sectional border molding (Group I) (custom impression trays border molded with green stick compound ) and single step border molding (Group II) ( border molding with condensation silicone (putty) impression material ). In both techniques definitive wash impression were made with light body condensation silicone and denture base with auto- polymerization resin. Results: Group 1B was significantly higher (mean- 2.176) than Group 1A (mean- 1.798) in test-1. The t-value (6.023) infers that there was significant difference between Group 1A and Group 1B (p =0.001). Group 2B was significantly higher (mean- 2.344) than Group 2A (mean-2.111) in test -2. The t-value (2.852) infers that there was significant difference between Group 2A and Group 2B (p=0.001). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this clinical study border molding using custom tray with low fusing green stick compound provided significant difference for retention as compared to condensation silicone at border moulding and denture base stage.

Abstract. Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) suffers from the attack of various pests throughout its different stages of the crop growth. Different insecticides are used to control these pest infestations. The application of these insecticides on brinjal plants may have an effect on their quality and nutritional parameters of fruit samples. In the present study effect of three different insecticides viz. Triazophos 40% E.C. Carbaryl 50% W.D.P, Cypermethrin 10% E.C. and Azadiractin 10,000 ppm formulation belonging to different groups namely organophosphate, carbamate, synthetic pyrethroids and botanical insecticide on brinjal fruit quality, nutritional parameters and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were assessed in field conditions. The results showed that different insecticides at field application dose showed minute insignificant variation in fruit nutritional and total antioxidant activity parameters in comparison to the control samples. The fruit quality parameters also showed minute variation in comparison to the control, except in the case of Triazophos treated samples which showed significant variation (p<0.05) in total soluble sugar content and crude protein.

Purpose:The objective of this study was to compare the effect of flapless implant insertion on initial bone loss with that of conventional placement after elevation of a mucoperiosteal flap. Materials and Methods:Total of 20 implants were replaced in the edentulous area within the mouth randomly categorized under two groups which differ in flap or flapless surgical placement. Group 1(n=10) Patients with dental implants using flap method. Group 2 (n=10) Patients with dental implants using flapless method. To assess changes in the peri-implant bone level, the height of the mesial and distal peri-implant bone was measuredwith digital radiograph taken at the time of implant placement and 3month and 6month afterward. Results: The crestal bone loss on mesial side and distal side was higher in the flap elevation methods at baseline, 3month and 6month as compared to the flapless methods and the difference was statistically significant at the 3month. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can beconcluded that flapless implant surgery results in lesser lossof marginal bone and also results in better patient comforthowever, proper patient selection and technique is essentialfor a successful flapless implant surgery.

Introduction: Gingival retraction cord is the most commonly used gingival displacement material however, it causes discomfort and produces damage to the periodontium. Various new gingival retraction materials have been introduced to overcome these problems. Aim: Thisstudy aims at comparative evaluation of horizontal gingival displacement using Stay-put retraction cord and Astringent retraction paste. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 subjects were selected and 40 samples were made for the study. Samples were divided into two groups,20 subjects in each group) depending on the materials used for gingival displacement.The impressions obtained after placing retraction system were poured in type IV die stone.The amount of gingival displacement was then measured as a distance from the tooth to the crest of the gingiva in a horizontal plane using stereomicroscope &analysed in image analysis software. Results: Among the experimental groups, astringent gingival retraction paste showed the highest value for gingival displacement (0.518mm) and the stay‑put retraction cord (0.435mm ) showed the least value. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this in vivo study, astringent gingival retraction paste showed the highest value for gingival displacement whereas, stay‑put retraction cord showed the least value.
