<p><strong>Background:</strong> <strong>Aim: </strong>The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival and success rates of dental implants placed in patients with different bone types over a five-year period. The impact of varying bone qualities, specifically Type I to Type IV bone, on implant outcomes was assessed to provide valuable insights for improving treatment planning in implantology. <strong>Subjects and Methods: </strong>This retrospective/prospective observational study included 80 patients (40 males, 40 females) aged 35–70 years, who underwent dental implant placement at a tertiary care hospital. Bone quality was classified into four types based on the Misch and Lekholm-Zarb systems, with bone assessments done using preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) or panoramic radiographs. Implant surgeries followed standard protocols with primary stability measured by insertion torque. Patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months to assess implant survival and success, based on clinical and radiographic criteria. <strong>Results: </strong>The survival rate for Type I bone was the highest at 95.00%, followed by Type II at 90.00%, Type III at 86.67%, and Type IV at 80.00%. Success rates mirrored survival rates, with Type I implants showing 94.55% success and Type II at 89.75%. Type III and IV implants had lower success rates, at 80.00% and 73.33%, respectively. The survival and success rates for Type I and Type II implants remained relatively stable throughout the study period, while Type III and IV implants saw notable declines, especially by year five. Implant failure was predominantly due to bone loss and infection, with Type IV bone showing the highest failure rate (33.33%). <strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study demonstrates that bone quality significantly affects the survival and success of dental implants, with higher survival and success rates in denser bone types (Type I and Type II). Personalized treatment plans, including interventions such as bone augmentation, are essential for patients with lower-density bone types to optimize implant outcomes. The results emphasize the need for tailored approaches in implantology to address the challenges posed by different bone qualities.</p>Jasleen AroraRajiv Kumar

https://aijournals.com/index.php/ajmr/article/view/2623
<p><strong>Background:</strong> The purpose of the study is to evaluate Facial Divine Proportion and to assess its relationship to the facial attractiveness in the Dogra population of Jammu region. <strong>Subjects and Methods: </strong>The sample consists of 344 adults with pleasing profile who have not undergone any kind of orthodontic treatment. Standardized frontal facial photographs of all the subjects were obtained. The subjects were selected on the basis of facial attractiveness which led to the reduction of sample to 100 which were, then, divided into 2 groups – Group I (Female subjects) and Group II (Male subjects). The Divine Proportion was determined using Ricketts RM (1982) Divine Proportion Analysis on frontal facial photographs. <strong>Results: </strong>Transverse and Vertical facial proportion in males were higher than females. Group I showed that five of seven vertical facial proportions were close to divine proportion (1.618) whereas only two vertical facial proportions in Group II were close to divine proportions. Transverse facial proportions in both the groups deviated more from divine proportion (1.618). <strong>Conclusion: </strong>There was difference between males and females for the vertical and transverse facial proportions with values being larger in males. This should be considered as an accessory guideline in planning orthodontic or orthognathic treatment.</p>Sneh KalgotraMonika ChibAbhishek KhajuriaArvind MengiManjeet Singh
