The Aim of this systematic review was to assess the effect of single tooth implant using titanium abutment material. A systematic review was conducted based on literature search in the databases PubMed, Wiley online library, Cochrane library, Elsevier science direct, Prospero, Scopus, Ovid Medicine, Grey literature using the search keywords (single tooth implant) AND (stability) AND (titanium abutment). Randomised controlled trials investigating the effect of titanium implant and further followed by Cochrane database bias assessment was done. Four randomised controlled trials were included and after discussed, the result of p value is not significant in effect of single tooth implant using titanium abutment material. For implant-supported SCs, both metal and ceramic abutments with internal and external connections exhibited high survival rates. Moreover, implant-supported FDPs with metal abutments with internal and external connections for also showed high survival rates.

The study aims to assess the anti-inflammatory properties of Phyllanthus niruri.  Materials and Method A systematic review was performed using PubMed, scholar, Wiley, Cochrane, Scopus and science direct. Of 213 articles from various sources,180 were screened, and five were related to the research topic. The review was reported according to the systematic review guidelines.  Result Five articles were included, and they were all compared to find the anti- inflammatory properties of Phyllanthus niruri. No meta-analysis was performed during the clinical heterogeneity.  Conclusion With a comparative analysis of the existing related articles about the anti- inflammatory properties, a final answer about the capacity of anti-inflammatory properties of Phyllanthus niruri have to be given.

Thymus vulgaris has been used to achieve healing, cure chest congestion, and induce saliva since ancient times. The fresh leaves are consumed to relieve sore throats and are traditionally used for numerous skin conditions like oily skin, acne, dermatitis, eczema, and insect bites. It is known to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant effects, extensively researched in recent years.  Aim: To determine the effectiveness of Thymus Vulgaris in Candida Albicans.  Study Design: A systematic review of In vitro study using Vulgaris as an effective agent against Candida Albicans. Electronic databases were searched, and 297 articles were obtained, among which four studies were included in this study.  Result: Four studies were included in the systematic review, of which all are in vitro studies. All the studies describe that Thymus Vulgaris has antifungal activity against Candida Albicans.  Conclusion: Thymus Vulgaris has antifungal activity against Candida Albicans and is used for numerous skin conditions like oily skin, acne, dermatitis, eczema, and insect bites

Materials and Method: The data retrieved from various electronic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane library and other sources regarding individual income tax, allocation of GDP for health sector and the out-of-pocket expenditure of the public for the health sector among top ten GDP countries. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. Results: Though India ranks the fifth place in GDP, it spends only 1.4% of GDP on the health sector, which was very low when compared to top GDP countries, so the public spends more out of pocket for the health sector (67.78%), which forcibly pushes them into poverty. Conclusion: The Government should make more effort and should allot more amount of GDP for the health sector in future for the beneficiaries of people.

Flash-free adhesives, as an alternative to the process of Flash cleanup, which used to be a major part of conventional adhesive applications, apart from being an additive step, also tend to leave uneven clumps with the need for extreme technical expertise.To establish the status of Flash-free adhesives as an alternative to conventional adhesive systems for Orthodontic brackets. A literature search was performed using PubMed, Google scholar, Science direct, Lilacs and Grey literature using MeSH terms- Flash-free adhesives, Orthodontic brackets, fixed appliances. Out of 91 articles, 30 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and then four were taken for systematic review. This review was then reported according to the PRISMA guidelines. While compared to conventional adhesives, Flash-free adhesives are more effective in treating orthodontic brackets because of a reduction in the accumulation of plaque control and demineralization. The study concludes that it reduces the extent of accumulation of plaque control by eliminating excess adhesive and reducing bracket failures. The use of flashfree adhesives is more effective in the treatment of orthodontic brackets.

Hypersensitivity is the most common adverse effect of vital tooth bleaching. To overcome this, a lot of desensitising agents are introduced. casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPPACP) is a milk- derived complex that causes demineralisation of tooth structure. To assess the efficacy of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP)in treating the hypersensitivity associated with vital tooth bleaching.A systematic review was performed using electronic databases like PubMed, science direct, Wiley online library, lilacs and google scholar using certain keywords. Out of 265 articles, five articles were related to the research topic. The review is described according to the PRISMA guidelines.CPPACP is more effective in the treatment of sensitive teeth with vital tooth bleaching. The study concludes that casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate complex (CPP-ACP) has the ability to reduce the postoperative sensitivity caused by at-home and in-office vital tooth bleaching without affecting the colour stability of the bleached tooth.
