Comparative Analysis of Strength of Differently Activated Denture Base Materials Including Recent Acetal Resin-Based Biodentaplast.

Aim And Objectives: The aim of this study is to comparatively analyse the compressive and tensile strength of different types of record base materials made of different materials and processing techniques.

Materials And Methodology: The compressive and tensile strength of 4 types of injection moulded materials were compared with a control of conventional compression moulded material. Twenty test specimens (10 tensile and 10 compressive) were fabricated from each material.

Esthetic Rehabilitation of a Young Patient With Immediately Loaded Single-Piece Basal Implants Following a Trauma Involving the Anterior Maxilla: Case Report With Five-Year Follow-Up.

Traumatic injuries to the anterior maxilla usually lead to loss of teeth by means of avulsion or extraction due to fracture. Rehabilitation of such a clinical scenario is complex as it involves various anatomic and esthetic challenges. Single-piece basal implants have been widely used in the rehabilitation of resorbed ridges because they gain adequate anchorage from the basal cortical bone, allowing immediate temporization or loading.

Assessment of Prevalent Gingival Shades in the South Indian Population: An Observational Study.

Introduction: Gingival shade matching, often overlooked, plays an integral role in designing prostheses for patients with high smile lines, gingival defects, and cases where the acrylic flange of removable dentures extends into the aesthetic zone. The purpose of this study was to find the most prevalent gingival shade in a sample of the South Indian population.

Materials And Methods:  A total of 110 participants were included in the study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Nitric oxide diffusing capacity and alveolar microvascular recruitment in sarcoidosis.

We measured diffusing capacities for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and nitric oxide, lung volume, and cardiac output by a rebreathing technique at two alveolar O2 tensions (PAO2) at rest and exercise. Membrane diffusing capacity for CO (DMCO) and VC were estimated from DLCO by the Roughton-Forster (RF) method and also from simultaneous lung diffusing capacity for NO and DLCO measured at one O2 tension (modified RF method). Estimates by these methods agreed closely in normal subjects (Tamhane et al.
