Structurofunctional analysis based on postinsertion problems with complete dentures in Moradabad, North India: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Complaints with complete dentures is a common and expected phenomenon. However the type and character of complaint varies between population and is influenced by the socio economic condition, prevalent dental awareness etc. This study attempts to find the most common complaints with complete dentures, their causes and also presents a classification of the same.

Effect of Addition of Antifungal Agents on Physical and Biological Properties of a Tissue Conditioner: An In-Vitro Study.

Tissue conditioners are used for healing of abused oral tissues. They may harbour microorganisms causing oral diseases such as candidiasis compromising the health of the patient. Also, addition of antifungal agents into tissue conditioner may alter its properties.

Vertical and horizontal proportions of the face and their correlation to phi among Indians in Moradabad population: A survey.

Purpose: The purpose was to examine the existence of divine proportions among the Indian faces in Moradabad population.

Materials And Methods: Totally, 100 patients (50 males; 50 females) aged 25-45 years were selected for the study. All facial photographs were analyzed based on the method of Ricketts assessing the divine proportions in vertical and transverse facial planes.

Innovative dual impression technique for patients with atrophia idiopathica mucosa oris.

Atrophia idiopathica mucosa oris is an oral fibrosing disease resulting in marked rigidity and an eventual inability to open the mouth or had limited mouth opening. Patients with limited mouth opening are a common occurrence in prosthodontic practice. The majority of these patients can be treated with exercise and stretching movements before impressions are made.

Comparison of temperature rise in pulp chamber during polymerization of materials used for direct fabrication of provisional restorations: An in-vitro study.

Objective: The purpose is to compare temperature rise in the pulp chamber during fabrication of provisional crowns using different materials and on different types of teeth using direct technique.

Materials And Methods: An extracted, sound, caries free maxillary central incisor and a mandibular molar were selected for the study and crown preparations of all ceramic and all metal were done on central incisor and mandibular molar, respectively. Materials tested were DPI tooth molding self-curing material and protemp-4.

Papillon-Lefevre syndrome: Reporting consanguinity as a risk factor.

Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis associated with severe early-onset periodontitis and premature loss of primary and permanent teeth. This report describes two cases of PLS in 28-year-old female and 16-year-old male siblings with consanguineously married parents. The patients presented to the Department of Public Health Dentistry of a dental education and research institute in India with thickening, flaking, and scaling of the skin on the palms and soles of the feet.

Twin occlusion: a solution to rehabilitate hemimandibulectomy patient-a case report.

Loss of continuity of the mandible destroys the balance and symmetry of mandibular function, leading to altered mandibular movements and deviation of the residual fragment towards the resected side. Prosthodontic treatment along with physical therapy may be useful in reducing mandibular deviation and improving masticatory efficiency. Numerous prosthetic methods are employed to minimize deviation and improve masticatory efficiency which includes implant supported prosthesis, mandibular guide flange prosthesis, and palatal based guidance restoration.

Cocktail Impression Technique: A New Approach to Atwood's Order VI Mandibular Ridge Deformity.

The management of highly resorbed ridge has always posed a challenge to the prosthodontist for years. Obtaining consistent mandibular denture stability has long been a challenge for dental profession. In particular, Atwood's Order V and Order VI pattern of bone resorption is associated with difficulties in providing successful dentures.

A simplified approach for recording neutral zone.

Neutral zone technique is long being used for the management of severely resorbed mandibular ridges. Various materials are used in recording neutral zone, which have their own advantages and disadvantages. This article discusses the use of Polyether impression material which is simpler and more practical.
