Advances in Nanoscale Engineering of Titanium Implant Surfaces and Their Impact on Osseointegration: A Narrative Review

Anu Talom, Sonali Mahajan, Kishor Mahale, Smita Khalikar, Vilas Rajguru & Ulhas Tandale · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2026

Nanoscale modification of titanium (Ti) implant surfaces is widely presented as the natural successor to the moderately rough microtextures that underpin contemporary clinical success. This critical narrative review evaluates whether the accumulated evidence supports that claim,...

Prosthodontic Rehabilitation with Digitally Designed Mandibular Telescopic Denture Using DMLS Technology: A Case Report

Gopika Gopan, Sonali Mahajan, Kishor Mahale, Smita Khalikar, Vilas Rajguru & Ulhas Tandale · International Journal of Research and Reports in Dentistry · 2025

The rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients involves a variety of prosthetic options, each tailored to individual clinical and financial considerations. While fixed solutions like dental implants and bridges are often preferred for their stability, they may not be suitabl...

Narrow-versus Standard-Diameter Dental Implants for Posterior Single-Crown Rehabilitation: A Critical Narrative Review of Marginal Bone Loss and Implant Survival

Ifrah Khan, Vilas Rajguru, Kishor Mahale, Smita Khalikar, Sonali Mahajan & Ulhas Tandale · Asian Journal of Dental Sciences · 2026

Horizontal resorption of the posterior alveolar ridge frequently reduces the bone width available for conventional implant placement, and the clinician must then choose between lateral bone augmentation with a standard-diameter implant and placement of a narrow-diameter implant i...

Digital Facebow Transfer and Virtual Articulators in Occlusal Rehabilitation: A Critical Narrative Review of Accuracy, Integration, and Clinical Translation

Sakshi Bovalekar, Kishor Mahale, Smita Khalikar, Vilas Rajguru, Sonali Mahajan & Ulhas Tandale · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2026

Digital facebow transfer and virtual articulators have moved occlusal rehabilitation from a predominantly mechanical analogue of the patient towards a multimodal digital representation that can combine dentition, facial references, interarch relationships and, increasingly, mandi...

Material Innovations and Digital Advances in Telescopic Denture Prosthodontics: A Narrative Review

Ifrah Khan, Vilas Rajguru, Kishor Mahale, Smita Khalikar, Sonali Mahajan & Ulhas Tandale · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2026

Telescopic denture systems, distinguished by their double-crown construction and programmable retention, have occupied an established position in prosthodontic rehabilitation for more than a century. In recent years, the field has been reshaped by two converging developments: the...

A Comprehensive Review of Ligaplants: Biological Revolution in Dental Implantology

Gunjan Sunil Kumar, Kishor Mahale, Smita Khalikar, Vilas Rajguru, Sonali Mahajan & Ulhas Tandale · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2026

Conventional endosseous dental implants rely on osseointegration to achieve anchorage. Although clinically successful, they inherently lack a functional periodontal ligament (PDL), which in natural dentition provides shock absorption, proprioception, adaptive mobility and a dynam...

The Correlation between Cortical Bone Thickness and the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ): A Systematic Review

Akanksha U. Mukwane, Kishor M. Mahale, Smita A. Khalikar, Vilas Rajguru, Sonali Mahajan & Ulhas Tandale · International Journal of Research and Reports in Dentistry · 2025

The advent of implantology, marked by Professor Per-Ingvar Branemark’s concept of osseointegration, revolutionised tooth replacement. A key indicator of successful osseointegration is implant stability, which can be categorised into primary stability (initial mechanical fixation)...

Restoring Facial Harmony with a Two-piece Magnet Retained Orbital Prosthesis: A Case Report

Siddhi Bhatawadekar, Smita A Khalikar, Kishor M Mahale, Vilas L Rajguru, Sonali Mahajan & Ulhas Tandale · International Journal of Research and Reports in Dentistry · 2025

Introduction: Orbital exenteration, often required in severe infections like mucormycosis, leads to facial defects affecting appearance and mental health. Maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation is essential to restore function and aesthetics. Case Report: A patient post-exentera...

Impacted Teeth vs Immediate Post-extraction Implants: A Review of Survival, Marginal Bone Loss, and Complications

Ulhas Tandale, Bhushan Krishna Chalmela, Kishor Mahale, Smita Khalikar, Vilas Rajguru & Sonali Mahajan · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2026

Dental implant therapy increasingly emphasises shortening treatment time and minimising surgical morbidity while maintaining long-term biological stability and esthetic integration. Two approaches that aim to reduce or avoid extensive hard-tissue surgery are (i) implant placement...
