Full mouth rehabilitation with fixed teeth supported prosthesis following hobo twin stage technique - A Case Report.

Background: Worn dentition is a common problem encountered by most people in the last decade. Rehabilitation of a full mouth needs individual attention and proper treatment planning, which is very challenging for partial edentulous cases where bilateral teeth are missing and collapsed vertical dimension leaves inadequate restorative space. Treatment of these cases is complex and needs to apply standard principles while designing and fabricating prostheses.

Effect of Disinfection on Tensile Strength and Rupture Elongation of Maxillofacial Silicone Reinforced with Nano-Filler Particles.

Compare the tensile strength and rupture elongation of room temperature vulcanizing silicone (RTV), heat temperature vulcanizing silicone (HTV) and 3% SiO2 reinforced RTV and HTV following disinfection with various agents. According to ASTM D412, 384 samples were fabricated using HTV, RTV, RTV and HTV reinforced with 3% SiO2 nanoparticles. The control group received no disinfection treatment, while the other samples were disinfected for 10 minutes using neutral soap, 4% chlorhexidine, and ozone water, three times a day for 60 days.

Evaluation of the effect of different kinds of treatment modalities for temporomandibular joint pain and its relevance to chronic cervical pain: A randomized controlled trial.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different treatment modalities for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and their relevance to chronic cervical pain after 12 months.

Settings And Design: This was a randomized controlled trial.

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight participants with chronic cervical and TMJ pain were selected using research diagnostic criteria and randomized into four groups (n = 12), which included control, soft splints, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and low-level laser (LLL).

Effect of different concentrations of titanium and silver nanoparticles on maxillofacial silicone MDX4-4210 on cell viability, tear bond strength, and shore strength: An study.

Aim: The aim was to evaluate and compare the cell viability, tear bond strength, and shore hardness of MDX4-4210 silicone reinforced with titanium dioxide and silver nanoparticles in 1%, 2%, and 3%.

Settings And Design: The study design involves in vitro comparative study.

Materials And Methods: MDX4-4210 silicone incorporated with 1%, 2%, and 3% by weight of silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

Effect of Zirconia Silica Nanofibers on Flexural Strength of Feldspathic Ceramic - An Experimental Study.

Background: Dental ceramics exhibit good optical and esthetic properties due to their translucency. Feldspathic ceramic is the most widely used veneering ceramic with brittleness, which accounts for most of its failure. Hence, this study was done to evaluate and compare the flexural strength of feldspathic ceramic reinforced with zirconia-silica nanofibers in the ratio of 2.

Effect of Cathodic Arc Plasma Deposition on Shear Bond Strength between Palladium Cobalt Chromium Coated with Titanium Nitride and Titanium Aluminium Nitride with Ceramic.

Background: The success of esthetic ceramo-metal restoration is strongly influenced by its bond strength. The success of ceramo-metal restoration is subjective to its bond strength.

Aim And Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the shear bond strength between palladium-based cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) alloy coated with titanium nitride (TiNi) and titanium aluminum nitride with feldspathic ceramics.

Analysis of Shade Matching in Natural Dentitions Using Intraoral Digital Spectrophotometer in LED and Filtered LED Light Sources.

Purpose: To evaluate the shade matching capabilities in natural dentitions using Vita Toothguide 3D-Master and an intraoral digital spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade Advance 4.0) in various light sources.

Materials And Methods: Participants between 20 and 40 years old with natural, unrestored right maxillary central incisors, no history of bleaching, orthodontic treatment, or malocclusion and no rotations were included.

Comprehensive Review and Comparison of the Disinfection Techniques Currently Available in the Literature.

The goal of disinfection in the dental office is to prevent the spread of infection from one patient to another and maintain the safety of the dental care providers. Prevention of cross infection has significant effect on infection control. The standard procedure of rinsing impressions under tap water immediately after removal from the mouth eliminates microorganisms along with saliva and blood.

Modified Technique for Making Auto-polymerized Polymethylmethacrylate Resin Custom Tray.

Custom made tray for dental impression is designed to provide a uniform space for the impression material and thereby improve the accuracy of the resultant working cast. Auto-polymerized acrylic resins have been the most commonly used material for the fabrication of these trays. The custom tray produces more accurate and reliable results for inter-abutment distance at the occlusal and gingival level than stock trays.

Rehabilitation of Glossectomy Cases with Tongue Prosthesis: A Literature Review.

Tongue is the only movable muscular organ without any bone in the human body. It has very important role in perception of taste and sensations like touch, pressure, heat and cold. The purpose of the article is to review various types of tongue prosthesis and their clinical applications.

Comparative Evaluation of Antifungal Effect of Titanium, Zirconium and Aluminium Nanoparticles Coated Titanium Plates Against C. albicans.

Introduction: The topographical modifications may vary from millimeter wide grooves to nano size structures. Recently growing nano technology is rapidly advancing surface engineering in implant dentistry. This advancement has resulted in difference in surface properties including the morphology, chemistry, crystal structure and mechanical properties of the implant.

Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength of Feldspathic CAD/CAM Ceramic with Dentin using 2 Bonding Agents and 2 Surface Treatments- An Invitro Study.

Background: All ceramics are the material of choice for aesthetic tooth replacements. The success of all ceramic restoration depends on the bond between the ceramic and the tooth surface hence this study was done to evaluate the shear bond strength of Feldspathic CAD/CAM ceramic with <5% hydrofluoric acid and hydrofluoric acid combined with silane coupling agent.

Aim: To evaluate the shear bond strength of Feldspathic CAD/CAM ceramic with Dentin using bonding agents Prime & Bond NT, XenoIII and surface treatments <5% hydrofluric acid, hydrofluric acid combined with silane coupling agent.
