Assessment of Adaptability and Linear Dimensional Changes of Two Heat Cure Denture Base Resin with Different Cooling Techniques: An Study.

Aim: The current study was designed to assess the linear dimensional changes and adaptability of two heat-cured denture base resins using various cooling methods.

Materials And Methods: To prepare a total of 90 acrylic resin samples (45 acrylic resin samples for each material), four rectangular stainless-steel plates measuring 25 × 25 × 10 mm were fabricated. For both groups, the material was put into the mold at the dough stage.

Association of Radiographic Signs in Determining the Proximity of Mandibular Third Molar Roots to the Mandibular Canal and Postoperative Occurrence of Neurosensory Disorders: A Cohort Study.

Background: The routine oral and maxillofacial procedure involving the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars comes with inherent risks to nearby anatomical structures. Proximity of mandibular third molar roots to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) poses a significant risk for injury, prompting the need for reliable assessment methods. Radiographic indicators, particularly those observed on intraoral periapical radiographs (IOPARs), offer a dependable means to evaluate proximity.

Effect of Different Disinfecting Agents on Surface Roughness and Color Stability of Heat-cure Acrylic Denture Material: An Study.

Aim: The current study aimed to determine the impact of three different disinfectants on the surface roughness and color stability of heat-cure acrylic denture material.

Materials And Methods: Using a stainless-steel mold, disc-shaped wax patterns with dimensions of 10 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick (in accordance with ADA Specification No. 12) were created and prepared for a total of 75 acrylic samples.

Esthetic and Palliative Management of Congenitally Missing Anterior Teeth using All Ceramic Fixed Prosthesis: A Clinical Case Report.

Congenitally missing anterior teeth alters the patient's physiognomy and diction in a big way. Maxillary incisor agenesis, prominently the lateral incisor is the most common congenitally missing permanent tooth, in the anterior maxillary region, which is the esthetic zone, representing approximately 20% of all dental anomalies. Treatment planning is inclusive of; smile design, preparation, perception of the patients, and their expectations in relation to esthetics, interdisciplinary alliance that meets the functional, health, and esthetic needs.

Background: Psychiatric patients or mentally ill patients conform a substantial section of the community deserving special attention. This study aimed to assess the oral health status and treatment needs of psychiatric patients attending District Civil Hospital, Raichur, Karnataka.

Materials And Methods: The study group comprised 150 outpatients aged 18-64 years, attending the Department of Psychiatry, District Civil Hospital, Raichur.

Occurrence of micronuclei in exfoliated buccal mucosal cells in mobile phone users: A case-control study.

Introduction: The use of mobile phones has increased enormously all over the world especially among young people. This technology is based upon electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range [radiofrequency (RF) waves and microwaves]. The radiation frequency and modulation standards vary in the range of 300-2100 MHz, depending on the region in the world.

Comparison of Flexural Strength of Kevlar, Glass, and Nylon Fibers Reinforced Denture Base Resins With Heat Polymerized Denture Base Resins.

Introduction: Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has been widely accepted and used in dentistry owing to its working characteristics, aesthetics and stability in the oral environment, ease in manipulation, and inexpensive processing methods and equipment.

Aim And Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of a high-impact PMMA denture base resin material and flexural strength of a commonly available heat cure PMMA denture base material with Kevlar, glass, and nylon fibers.

Materials And Methods: The test samples were studied under two groups.

Assessment of Periodontal Health and Necessity of Dental Treatment in the Institutionalized Elderly Population of East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh.

Aim: To assess the periodontal health condition and treatment needs among elderly people aged 60-85 years residing as inmates in the eight old age homes in East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Settings And Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted to verify the oral health condition and treatment needs among elderly people aged 60-85 years.

Materials And Methods: Modified World Health Organization (WHO) 2013 oral health assessment pro forma for adults was used to assess the oral health status and treatment needs, the clinical assessment of oral mucosa, loss of attachment (LOA) , community periodontal index, dentition status, and treatment need.
