Chemical characterization of silanized silver nanoparticles impregnated in poly (methyl methacrylate) resin: An study.

Aim: The intention was to determine the chemical interaction of silanized AgNPs with PMMA by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Settings And Design: In-vitro comparative study.

Materials And Methods: This study is composed of four groups - 0.

Evaluation of the Cytotoxicity of Heat Cure Denture Base Resin Modified with Recycled PMMA-Based Denture Base Resin.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of heat-cure denture base resin (PMMA) modified with recycled denture base resin at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% (w/w) concentration.

Materials And Methods: A total of 30 disk-shaped specimens were prepared and divided into six groups ( = 5). The Control group (R) consisted of unmodified processed denture base resin, the experimental group consisted of denture base resin processed with substitution of 10% 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% (w/w) of recycled denture base resin (R, R R R, and R).

Antimicrobial Efficacy of Irreversible Hydrocolloid Impression Impregnated with Silver Nanoparticles Compared to Surface Disinfected Impressions - An Study.

Background: Routine disinfection procedures have shown to cause incomplete disinfection and detrimental effects on dimensional properties of the impression. Hence, self-disinfecting impression materials impregnated with antimicrobial agents were developed.

Purpose: The purpose is to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) impregnated in irreversible hydrocolloid (IH) impression material in conditions.

Effect of Chemical Denture Disinfectants and Tree Extracts on Biofilm-forming and Viridans Species Isolated from Complete Denture.

Aims: The present study aims at recording the antibacterial efficacy of various disinfectants used at different time periods against and viridans streptococcal species of bacteria isolated from complete dentures.

Materials And Methods: Fifty complete denture patients were selected for the study and swabs were collected from their complete denture surfaces. The isolated bacteria were subjected to six experimental groups which includes four groups of chemical denture disinfectants and two tree extracts groups.

Monomer Modifications of Denture Base Acrylic Resin: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Methyl methacrylate monomer of denture base resins was modified with several monomers to achieve better physico-mechanical properties without compromising the biocompatibility. However, there are no consensuses on the best strategy to achieve best modified monomer.

Purpose: To identify and evaluate the differences in the properties between conventional and modified monomers and to verify the influence of several variables on the properties of denture base acrylic resin.

Effect of Surface Modifications on the Retention of Cement-retained Implant Crowns under Fatigue Loads: An Study.

Background: Masticatory forces cause fatigue to the dental luting agents, adversely affecting the retention of these cement-retained crowns. Sandblasting (SB) and diamond abrading the abutment surface improves the bond strength of luting agents. However, the effect of acid etching (AE) on the implant abutment surface and the effect of other surface modifications under masticatory load are yet to be documented.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Secondary to an Unreported Ossicle of the Talus: A Case Report.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is a compression neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve in the tarsal tunnel. In about 80% of patients, a specific cause can be identified for TTS. We present a case of TTS secondary to an ossicle in close relation to the talus that, to our knowledge, has not previously been reported.

Implant rehabilitation for atrophic maxilla: a review.

A severely atrophied maxilla presents serious limitations for conventional implant placement. This presents challenge to the surgeon for implant placement in harmony with the planned prosthesis. Survey of various literatures using internet sources, manual searches, and common textbooks on dental implants shows, that a thorough knowledge of conventional augmentation procedures such as bone augmentation techniques, guided bone regeneration, alveolar distraction, maxillary sinus elevation techniques with or without grafting and contemporary techniques of implant placement provide effective long-term solutions in the management of the atrophic maxilla.

An organized start to implant-supported prosthesis.

Various treatment options are available for rehabilitating the complete edentulous patients with implants. However, due consideration for the prosthesis is not given prior to implant surgery. This can result in implant being placed in locations that do not provide the best esthetic and functional result.

Brachial plexus injury after anterior shoulder dislocation: a case report.

Brachial plexus injury is a rare complication of anterior dislocation of the shoulder: nine cases have been reported in the literature. We report a unique case of anterior dislocation of the shoulder with associated brachial plexus palsy involving the posterior and medial cords. This is the first reported case of such an injury.
