Green Synthesis of Ganoderma Lucidum-Mediated Silver Nanoparticles and its Microbial Activity against Oral Pathogenic Microbes: An Study.

Nanotechnology is developing into a fast-expanding discipline with applications in science and technology, and nanostructures are a crucial research tool in many fields. Due to their remarkable electrical, optical, magnetic, catalytic, and pharmacological capabilities, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have drawn study interest. Natural elements (plants, microorganisms, fungi, etc.

Sapindus Mukurossi - An Effective Biocleanser for Removable Dental Prostheses? An Study.

This study aims to determine the efficient concentration of Sapindus mukorossi that can be used as a denture cleanser. 60 heat cure denture base resin specimens of dimensions 10*10*2 mm were fabricated. Among these, 30 were fabricated by compression moulding technique and the remaining 30 by an injection moulding technique.

Stress Distribution on Short Implants with Varying Crown Heights - An Study.

The aim of this study is to determine the stress in short implants loaded with varying crown heights using a 3D finite element analysis. A total of three mandibular sectional bone blocks depicting the mandibular left first molar region were modeled. Each block carried Bicon implants of the same size and was designated B1, B2, and B3.

Comparative Analysis of Strength of Differently Activated Denture Base Materials Including Recent Acetal Resin-Based Biodentaplast.

Aim And Objectives: The aim of this study is to comparatively analyse the compressive and tensile strength of different types of record base materials made of different materials and processing techniques.

Materials And Methodology: The compressive and tensile strength of 4 types of injection moulded materials were compared with a control of conventional compression moulded material. Twenty test specimens (10 tensile and 10 compressive) were fabricated from each material.

Antimicrobial properties of green synthesized silver and chitosan nanocomposites.

An eco-friendly and simple approach was carried out for the synthesis of silver-chitosan nanocomposites using and fluconazole-mediated aqueous extract. This extract acted as a reducing agent as well as a capping agent for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Chitosan nanoparticles on the other hand were synthesized from the deacetylation of the chitin matrix.

Rehabilitation of a mid-facial defect using maxillary obturator with a maxillary expansion device and orbital prosthesis.

Midfacial defects are defined as congenital or acquired defects in the horizontal plane at the middle third of the face and communicate with intraoral maxillary defects. These defects lead to speaking difficulty, difficulty in saliva control and deglutition, mastication, and esthetics. Prosthetic rehabilitation of such defects with maxillofacial prosthesis is a challenging task.

A comparative evaluation of shear bond strength between feldspathic porcelain and lithium di silicate ceramic layered to a zirconia core- An study.

Background: The bond strength between the zirconia core and ceramic veneer is the weakest component in the layered structure. Delamination of veneering ceramic is reported as one of the most frequent problems associated with Veneered Zirconia restorations. The aim of this study is to compare the shear bond strength of lithium di silicate porcelain to that of feldspathic porcelain on a zirconia Substrate.

Implant supported prosthesis on edentulous mandible with multiple impacted teeth - a case report with 5 year follow up.

Multiple impacted teeth are quite often syndromically related, which could be hormonal or metabolic. It may be also due to infection, cyst, or trauma. A number of idiopathic multiple impacted teeth cases have been reported in the literature.
