Reconstructive Surgery with Autogenous Chin Block Graft for Esthetic Rehabilitation of Deficient Anterior Maxillary Region.

Endosseous implants have revolutionized the field of Implants and Prosthodontics. Implant placement is a viable option in the treatment of partial and full edentulism. However, placement of implants in alveolar deficiencies may lead to adverse angulations, mechanical overload and esthetic dissatisfaction.

Improved Fabrication of Implant Retained Auricular Prosthesis with Digital Technologies.

A 28-year-old male patient came to the prosthodontics department seeking replacement for his congenital defect left ear. With the use of digital technology, a silicone implant supported bar retained auricular prosthesis that is an exact match in size, shape, and orientation to the existing contralateral ear was made.

Clinical outcomes of implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation of severely atrophic maxilla: A systematic review.

Aim: The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the clinical outcomes for the various methods of rehabilitation of a severely atrophic maxilla with the help of implant-supported fixed prosthesis.

Materials And Methods: The relevant publications published between 2013 and 2022 and written only in English were identified using an electronic search. The primary research question for this study was developed based on the PICO framework, which stands for population, intervention, control, and outcomes which was "What are the clinical outcomes of implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation in patients with severely atrophic maxilla?" The relevancy of the articles was confirmed by examining their titles, abstracts, and complete texts to determine whether they satisfied the requirements for inclusion.

Stomatognathic Risk Factors and Clinical Manifestations of Temporomandibular Disorders in Indian Population: A Case-control Study.

Aim: This study was aimed to compare the risk factors and associated clinical manifestations of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in the Indian population.

Materials And Methods: A total of 52 patients were explored according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) and compared with 48 controls. The mean age of the study group was 30.

Satisfaction in conventional acrylic complete denture patient with and without denture liners - a systematic review.

To make a new complete denture, a series of steps is needed, and it is a time-consuming process. Which is not possible in every patient due to financial and medical reasons. The old denture can be relined by denture liners in less clinical and laboratory steps and can successfully increase the efficiency of ill-fitting dentures however, patient satisfaction with denture liners is doubtful.

A Systematic Review to Evaluate Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Regarding Biomedical Waste Management among Dental Teaching Institutions and Private Practitioners in Asian Countries.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude, and practices among dental teaching institutions and private practitioners in Asian countries.

Materials And Methods: Systematic review of observational studies on BMW management was conducted. We searched the following electronic bibliographic databases: PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar.

Comparative evaluation of diametral tensile strength of phosphate-bonded investment (ringless) material by using air-drying method, conventional hot air oven, microwave oven, and combination of microwave and conventional oven: An study.

Aim: This study evaluated and compared the diametral tensile strength (DTS) of phosphate-bonded investment (PBI) material (ringless) used in removable cast partial denture fabrication.

Settings And Design: Comparative - study.

Materials And Methods: The PBI material, Wirovest used in this study was subjected to four different drying methods.

Effect of Repeated Microwave Disinfection on the Surface Hardness of a Heat-Cured Denture Base Resin: An Study.

Statement Of The Problem: Disinfection of complete dentures is very crucial to prevent cross-contamination and infection. Microwave disinfection is a quick, easy, and effective means to disinfect dentures. However, the effect of repeated microwave cycles on the surface hardness property of heat-cured polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin is not known.

An evaluation of patient's decisions regarding dental prosthetic treatment.

Introduction: For fabricating dental prostheses that meet patients' demands and have good longevity and function, appropriate treatment planning and decision-making are required. Therefore, not only technical skills and clinical judgment of the dentist are needed, but also patients' attitude toward treatment plays a critical role in posttreatment satisfaction.

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the factors affecting decision-making and the selection of dental prosthesis by the patients.

Spectrophotometric evaluation of shade reproduction of pressable all-ceramic system on un-stained and stained tooth: An in vitro study.

Purpose: To evaluate the shade reproduction of a pressable all-ceramic system placed on unstained and stained extracted maxillary central incisor using a color measurement spectrophotometer. In addition, to compare shade reproduction of this material with low translucency and medium opacity on unstained tooth and medium and high opacity on stained tooth.

Materials And Methods: Total 45 discs, with difference in the opacity of core, were used.

Stabilizing the Carbon Marker During Surveying: An Innovative Technique.

Dental surveyor has been defined as an instrument used to determine the relative parallelism of two or more surfaces of the teeth or other parts of the cast of a dental arch. Therefore the primary purpose of surveying is to identify the modifications of oral structures that are necessary to fabricate a removable partial denture that will have a successful prognosis. It is the modification of tooth surfaces to accommodate placement of the component parts of the partial denture in their designated ideal position on abutment teeth that facilitates this prognosis.

"Split Cast Mounting: Review and New Technique".

For the fabrication of a prosthesis, the Prosthodontist meticulously performs all the steps. The laboratory technician then make every effort/strives to perform the remaining lab procedures. However when the processed dentures are remounted on the articulator, some changes are seen.

An evaluation of dimensional accuracy of one-step and two-step impression technique using addition silicone impression material: an in vitro study.

The study is aimed to evaluate the dimensional accuracy, the effect of undercut of two different configurations and the elastic recovery of addition silicone impression material assessed indirectly, by measuring the dimensions on stone models recorded from the impression of the master model, using one-step and two-step impression technique, for addition silicone impression materials. Measurements are taken to evaluate horizontal or linear and vertical dimensional changes, of the abutment V and abutment C from the stainless steel model. Heavy body/light body material is used for making one-step impression technique in a custom tray.
