Customised Vaginal Stent-The Phases in Management of Vaginal Agenesis in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) Syndrome.

Objective: Vaginal agenesis or atresia in females suffering from MRKH syndrome is more common and management involves both surgical and non-surgical approaches. Use of prefabricated stents to maintain the patency of the canal may not fit appropriately during the initial surgical phase and are not economical. This case report discusses a series of modifications in a custom-made vaginal dilator to improve the retention for expansion after surgical management of MRKH syndrome.

Impact of soft palate visibility and tongue position on early diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea among patients with tooth loss - An observational preliminary study.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was estimated to affect 15% to 30% of males and 5% to 15% of females with prevalence increasing with progressive tooth loss and its early identification can reduce the sequalae of OSA. Apnea-hypopnea index is confirmatory but unsuitable for clinical settings to detect OSA and concise screening tools are required to detect OSA in edentulous patients.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of soft palate visibility and tongue position on incidence of OSA among edentulous patients.
