Rehabilitation of acquired mandibular defect with two-piece, magnet-retained salivary reservoir.

Resection of large tumors involving mandible is the most common reason for mandibulectomy in patients. Adjunct therapies complicate the clinical situation and advocates innovations in conventional design concepts and treatment protocols. Xerostomia is one of the most common complications arising post-radiotherapy.

Comparative prospective clinical evaluation of computer aided design/ computer aided manufacturing milled BioHPP PEEK inlays and Zirconia inlays.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to clinically assess the performance of BioHPP PEEK material when used for inlay restoration and to compare it with widely used zirconia inlays. This clinical study was undertaken to evaluate their performance in terms of retention, colour matching, marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, secondary caries, surface texture, wear-anatomic form, postoperative sensitivity and fracture resistance using the modified Ryge's criteria.

Settings And Design: In vivo - prospective clinical study.

Factors associated with abutment screw loosening in single implant supported crowns: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Implant restorations are considered an ideal treatment option for replacement of missing teeth in partially edentulous patients. Abutment screw loosening is one of the frequently observed technical complications of implant-supported prosthesis. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with the abutment screw loosening in cement-retained single-implant crowns.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA): A prosthodontic perspective.

The subject of sleep medicine, for dental profession in general and prosthodontists in particular, continue to offer great challenges and opportunities in terms of diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment based on qualitative evidence. Although the role played by the prosthodontists is still in its infancy, there is much to learn and understand in the rapidly evolving field of sleep medicine as the recognition of co-managing patients with sleep disorders by the prosthodontists is fast becoming a reality. This article discusses at length the prosthodontic perspectives of the research in the field of sleep medicine, particularly on obstructive sleep apnea.

Comparison of shear bond strength of two porcelain repair systems after different surface treatment.

Introduction: Intraoral chair side porcelain repair system is a quick, painless and highly patient acceptable procedure, without removal of restoration or fabrication of new restoration. There are very limited studies conducted to evaluate the shear bond strength of repair systems after different surface treatment.

Objectives Of Research: The objective of research was to evaluate the shear bond strength of two intraoral porcelain repair systems Clearfil repair system (Kuraray) and Ceramic repair system (Ivoclar) to repair metal-ceramic restoration after three different surface treatment.
