Comparative Study of Limberg Flap Reconstruction With Wide-Open Excision and Healing by Secondary Intention in the Management of Pilonidal Sinus: Our Experience at a Tertiary Care Center in India.

Introduction A pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a small passageway in the subcutaneous tissue which develops most frequently in the sacrococcygeal area. In terms of postoperative outcomes, the decision on the best surgical treatment for PNS is still a challenge for a surgeon. Prevention of the disease recurrence and improving quality of the life can be considered primary goals of the treatment.

Materials And Methods: Sixty square-shaped wax patterns, measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 2 mm, were divided into four groups.

Reinforcement of Aluminum Oxide Filler on the Flexural Strength of Different Types of Denture Base Resins: An In vitro Study.

Introduction: Acrylic resins have been used extensively for the fabrication of denture bases because of their aesthetic qualities, ease of manipulation and repairability. Flexural fatigue of the denture base has been shown to be a factor in the clinical failure of polymethyl methacrylate resin dentures. Also, the fracture can result from impact, fatigue or degradation of the base material.
