Objectives: This study aimed to determine the association of rs2430561 and rs4073 polymorphisms in the Interferon gamma (IFN-ɤ) and Interleukin 8 (IL-8) genes, respectively, with hepatitis C virus-related oral lichen planus and disease severity. Design: This is a case-control study. 60 subjects were equally divided into patients with and without oral lichen planus. They were further subdivided into hepatitis C virus seropositive and seronegative patients. All patients were genotyped for IFN-γ rs2430561 thymine to adenine (T > A) and IL-8 rs4073 adenine to thymine (A > T) polymorphisms. All patients with oral lichen planus had their lesions measured and documented using the …

Dentistry
Various bone augmentation strategies have been proposed to overcome the anatomic and physiologic limitations of implant placement in patients with atrophic edentulous ridges. The use of short implants may provide an alternative treatment to avoid complications associated with alveolar bone augmentation. However, the clinical effectiveness of short implants versus long implants was not thoroughly investigated. Marginal bone height changes around short and conventional implants were evaluated in this study Methods: Fourteen completely edentulous male patients were selected and divided into two equal groups. Group (I) Patients received conventional complete maxillary dentures opposed by mandibular overdentures supported and retained by two …
