Even more comically it says that it is ‘installed and not connected to server’ (meaning dysfunctional) in 104 colleges. Notice the dichotomy in answers by two different PIO’s. This information means it is either not installed or is not working in 50% of the colleges 2 years after they began installing it at a cost of Rs 1, 65, 75,000/ (also received by RTI).

Single Anterior missing tooth – Cost effectiveness of Implant vs FPD
This study assessed cost-effectiveness of implant-supported single crowns (ISCs) compared to fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) when restoring a single missing tooth (Journal of Dental Research, December 2013, Vol. 92:12, pp. 183S-188S).
Based on their analysis, the researchers found that ISCs were more likely to be cost-effective than FDPs at the three- and 10-year time horizons. The former also had “slightly higher QATYs (quality-adjusted tooth years ),” although both provided satisfactory long-term results in the view of the patients.
“It is of utmost importance to include the patient in the decision-making process, and inform thoroughly about advantages and disadvantages, risks, possible complications, and maintenance issues. He or she should be able to participate in the decision and share the responsibility.” MORE HERE
