The Per-Ingvar Brånemark Era (1929-2014): Evolution of a No Compromise Prosthetic Dental Replacement.

Per-Ingvar Brånemark (1929-2014) revolutionized 21st-century dentistry with the introduction of osseointegration, and his invention of dental implants revolutionized the restoration of smiles all over the world. His accidental discovery that titanium bonds with bone in the 1950s revolutionized restorative dentistry, especially for prosthetic teeth caused by trauma or disease. Through the course of decades, his work was translated into clinical techniques and materials that have helped millions to reacquire oral function.

A comparative evaluation of amount of gingival displacement produced by four different gingival displacement agents - An study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the efficacy of ViscoStat clear, Vasozine, and Racegel (with and without cord) with respect to the amount of lateral gingival displacement produced by them.

Settings And Design: Comparative - study.

Material And Methods: Thirty consented volunteers were selected in the age group of 18-22 years.

Comparative evaluation of the depth of curve of Spee between individuals with normal dentition and individuals with occlusal wear using conventional and digital software analysis techniques: An study.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the depth of curve of Spee in normal dentitions and dentitions with occlusal wear using conventional and digital software techniques.

Materials And Methods: A total of 70 healthy human subjects were selected for this study in an age group of 20-50 years. Group A includes the stone models (dental casts) of 35 individuals with healthy (nonattrited) dentition.

A Comparative Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength Between Two Commercially Available Heat Cured Resilient Liners and Denture Base Resin with Different Surface Treatments.

Background: Soft denture liners are widespread materials used in prosthetic dentistry. Their mechanical properties have to meet several key requirements such as adequate bond to denture base resins in order to provide right function of masticatory system and oral hygiene.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the shear bond strength between two commercially available liners and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture base resin with different surface treatments.
