Stress, Depression, and Anxiety of Female Adolescents of Higher Senior Secondary School: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study of Humanities, Commerce, and Science Streams.

A cross-sectional, representative sample from adolescent girls of higher senior secondary schools was collected for the study. We analyzed the data from 600 Punjabi Indian female adolescents (200 from humanities, 200 from commerce, and 200 from science stream) aged 15-17 years who were randomly selected from government and private schools. The symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress were assessed by the DAS questionnaire. Overall prevalence was 50.8%, 58.7%, and 68% for depression, anxiety, and stress, respectively. A significant difference was reported for depression (.000), anxiety (.000), and stress (.002) between adolescents of three streams. The results of the study point out that there is a necessity for some interventions to educate adolescent girls about the negative effects of stress, depression, and anxiety on their body.

Evaluation of Bone Density, Implant Site, and Crestal Position of Implants and Their Influence on Implant Primary Stability-A Retrospective Study.

Dental practice has had a turning point with the introduction of implants. A major prerequisite for implant success is the presence of primary stability at the time of implant placement and during loading. Poor primary stability can be one of the causes of implant failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone density, implant site, and crestal position of implants and their association with implant primary stability. A retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics, Saveetha Dental College. Data was collected from a total of 86,000 patients who visited Saveetha Dental College between June 2019 and March 2020. The data of 500 patients in whom implants were placed in this time frame and who were between 25 and 50 years of age were retrieved and tabulated in SPSS for Windows, version 20. Chi-square testing was done to determine the association of bone density, implant site, and crestal position of implants with implant primary stability. There was no significant association between primary stability and crestal position (P = 0.297), implant site (P = 0.467), or bone density (P = 0.378).

Crestal Bone Loss in Implants Postloading and Its Association with Age, Gender, and Implant Site: A Retrospective Study.

We evaluate crestal bone loss in implants after loading and bone loss associated with age, gender, and implant site. This retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics, Saveetha Dental College, India. We obtained ethical clearance from the Scientific Review Board at the college. Data were collected from 86,000 patients who visited Saveetha Dental College between June 2019 and March 2020. From these, we retrieved data from 335 patients, in whom implants were placed during this time frame. We tabulated data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM; Armonk, NY), ver. 20 for Windows. Chi-squared tests determined association among bone density, implant site, crestal implant position, and primary implant stability. We observed significant correlation between age and crestal bone loss (p = 0.019), but not between gender (p = 0.792) nor implant site (p = 0.223) with crestal bone loss.
