Research Publication on Finite Element Analysis of Dental Implant Surgical Guides - Prof. Parveen Kalra has published a research paper focusing on the finite element analysis applied to dental implant surgical guides. The study addresses the challenges posed by conventional dental drill guides, which can increase bone temperature during surgery due to restricted irrigant flow. The proposed design includes irrigation channels in the internal diameter of the guiding bush, leading to improved irrigant flow, better heat dissipation, and lower bone temperature. This research contributes significantly to the field of dental engineering and aims to enhance surgical outcomes.

Research on Electrochemical Behavior of Aluminum-Molybdenum Surface Composites - Dr. Mahesh V. P. has conducted research on the electrochemical behavior of aluminum-molybdenum surface composites developed through friction stir processing. The study highlights the corrosion resistance of these composites, which are significant for applications in aerospace, automobile, and structural sectors. The research indicates that increasing the molybdenum content and achieving a homogeneous distribution enhances the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys, particularly in chloride environments. The findings are based on potentiodynamic polarization analysis and microscopic examination of the corroded materials.

Critical Review on Bioactive Surface Coatings for Biodegradable Mg Alloys - A critical review has been published on the progress of bioactive surface coatings on biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys, which are promising candidates for applications in biodegradable bone implants, cardiovascular stents, and wound closing devices. The review discusses the challenges of rapid degradation rates that can lead to premature implant failure and highlights the importance of bio-functional surface coatings in enhancing corrosion resistance and fulfilling clinical requirements. It covers various coating techniques, processing parameters, and performance measures, including corrosion resistance, adhesion strength, and biocompatibility. The article also details the therapeutic responses of recently developed surface coatings, including osteogenesis, angiogenesis, cytocompatibility, hemocompatibility, anti-bacterial properties, and controlled drug release, based on in-vitro and in-vivo studies. The review is authored by Dr. Uma Batra and is a collaborative effort with Wichita State University, United States.

Study on Changes in Condylar Position After Orthognathic Surgery - A prospective study conducted at Punjab Engineering College assessed changes in condylar position after orthognathic surgery (OGS) and its correlation with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The study involved 37 patients with dentofacial deformities, divided into three groups based on the type of surgery performed. The results indicated minimal linear and angular changes in the condyle post-surgery, which were not responsible for the development of TMD. The study was led by Prof. Parveen Kalra and further details can be found in the published paper.

Technology and Education Inputs for Productivity Enhancement in Garment Manufacturing - This update discusses the efficient production management in the garment manufacturing industry, focusing on work measurement techniques that utilize standard processing timings. It highlights the importance of time study techniques in enhancing productivity on garment production lines, emphasizing the relationship between efficiency, worker fatigue, and output quality. The research is led by Prof. Parveen Kalra from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh.

New Electromagnetic Pulse Sensor Design Introduced - A new conceptualized design of the Electromagnetic Pulse Sensor has been introduced, focusing on a B-dot sensor using a Mobius loop and a detailed design of Ground Plane D-dot sensors. This design utilizes an Equivalent Charge Distribution Method and emphasizes the importance of material choice on bandwidth. The advanced prototype developed is based on simulation analysis and lightweight Aluminum Alloy, making it significantly lighter and more economical compared to traditional Copper-based sensors. The new sensor has a bandwidth greater than 12.1 GHz, reducing the need for multiple sensors in electromagnetic pulse measurement.

Research Study on Virtual Surgical Planning in Mandibular Reconstruction - A study titled 'Assessing the Role of Virtual Surgical Planning in Mandibular Reconstruction With Free Fibula Osteocutaneous Graft' was conducted at a tertiary care center in North India. The research aimed to evaluate the accuracy of virtual surgical planning in mandibular reconstruction, utilizing three-dimensional printing for patient-specific fibula cutting guides. The study involved preoperative assessments using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and postoperative evaluations at six months. Key outcomes measured included surgical precision, operative time, ischemia time, and morbidity parameters. The study was led by Prof. Parveen Kalra in collaboration with PGIMER, Chandigarh.
