Inflammation and advancing fibrosis of the submucosal tissues are the hallmarks of this chronic, disabling illness of the oral cavity. The disorder is well known for having a propensity for cancer and is particularly linked to the habit of chewing tobacco and areca nuts.

Prosthodontic Rehabilitation of a Completely Edentulous Patient With a Cleft Palate: A Case Report.

Clefts of the lip and palate are congenital anomalies that affect the orofacial region. Completely edentulous patients with a cleft palate present a unique challenge during complete denture fabrication. Complete dentures with an obturator and palatal extension need to be accurately fabricated to fulfill the functions of esthetics, speech, deglutition, and mastication.

Aadhar Number Marking on Surgical Plate for Forensic Identification.

Dental identification is the most reliable and frequently applied method of human identification, predominantly by comparing the antemortem and post-mortem records. Hence, all types of dental treatment should be recorded and kept properly. Aadhaar is a 12-digit individual identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India on behalf of the Government of India to all residents of India.

Cylindrical Implant Versus Tapered Implant: A Comparative Study.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of tapered implants with cylindrical implants by evaluating the implant stability using the Osstell implant stability quotient (ISQ) instrument (W&H Dental India PVT Ltd., Bangalore, India) postoperative pain using the visual analog scale (VAS) score, and the peri-implant health using implant mobility scale.

Materials And Methods: This study included 30 patients who were partially edentulous with single or bilateral missing teeth and received 30 tapered implants on the one side and 30 cylindrical implants on the other side.

Custom Sectional Impression Tray With Sectional Handle for Microstomia Patients.

Microstomia presents a unique challenge to the dentist as well as the patient. Microstomia patients often face difficulty in inserting or removing removable dental prostheses due to constricted opening of the oral cavity. Dentists often face difficulty in inserting impression trays in these patients because of the limited mouth opening.

Customized Pen for Patients With Arthritis.

Patients with arthritis present with pain, stiffness and limited movement of fingers and hands. Performing tasks independently lead to a lot of anxiety and emotional trauma. Holding simple things like a toothbrush or pen is a cumbersome task.

Maintenance of proper oral hygiene is a cumbersome task when hand and finger movement is restricted. The customized handle allows better grip on the toothbrush, making it easier to brush teeth or dentures. This increases self-esteem by reducing their dependency on others.

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Versus Closed Reduction and Maxillomandibular Fixation of Condylar Fractures of the Mandible: A Prospective Study.

Background The choice of surgical versus nonsurgical treatment for fractures of the condylar process has its own limitations and remains a controversial issue. Improved knowledge of anatomy, technique, and technology combined with adequate experience with careful planning of surgical technique can avoid all the possible complications. Aim To compare open reduction and internal fixation with closed reduction and maxillomandibular fixation in the management of condylar fractures.

γ-Irradiated Chitosan Mediates Enhanced Synthesis and Antimicrobial Properties of Chitosan-Silver (Ag) Nanocomposites.

Chitosan (CSN) and its derivatives are being exploited for their potential role in agriculture in mitigating environmental stress factors. The present study was aimed to enhance the synthesis of chitosan (CSN)-based silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using γ-irradiated chitosan (IR-CSN) and to study the antimicrobial activity of IR-CSN-Ag NPs. The chitosan-silver nanocomposites (CSN-Ag NPs) were prepared by employing the green synthesis method using normal chitosan (high molecular weight (MW), NL-CSN) and oligochitosans (low MW, IR-CSN).

Arthroplasty Followed by Distraction Osteogenesis Versus Distraction Osteogenesis Followed by Arthroplasty in the Management of TMJ Ankylosis: A Comparative Study.

Aim: To compare treatment outcome of arthroplasty followed by distraction osteogenesis (AFD) and distraction osteogenesis followed by arthroplasty (DFA) in the management of mandibular deficiencies in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis.

Materials And Methods: A total of 20 patients with TMJ Ankylosis were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups.
