Innovative hybrid approach: digital and analog fabrication of orbital prosthesis for post-COVID-19 mucormycosis defects using photogrammetry technique.

In addition to anatomical loss, removal of the full or portion of the orbit results in a facial deformity and psychological distress for the patient. This article details a practical case of prosthetic rehabilitation using digital workflow for an orbital deformity caused by post-COVID-19 Mucor mycosis. The main goal of this case study was to create a maxillofacial orbital prosthesis that is well-retained, simple to use, and accurate in terms of appearance.

Crafting Confidence: A Comprehensive Case Study of Full-Mouth Reconstruction Utilizing Implant-Supported Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Zirconia Restorations.

A 67-year-old male patient reported to the department with a chief complaint of tooth mobility. The patient presented with a medical history of diabetes for which he was on medication, and he also reported a history of chronic periodontitis. After a thorough assessment of the patient, a proper treatment plan was designed, which included full-mouth rehabilitation, prior to which the patient was advised full-mouth extraction.

Chitosan: A Versatile Biomaterial Revolutionizing Endodontic Therapy.

Owing to their nanoscale dimensions, nanomaterials have special chemical and physical properties that set them apart from their bulk counterparts. The exterior dimensions of a minimum of half of the particles span several nanometers in their size distribution. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one type of nanomaterial that has been widely used because of their strong antibacterial properties, which can kill bacteria that are resistant to many drugs.

Non-surgical Management of Periapical Lesions With the Use of Newer Modalities in Adjunct to the Conventional: A Case Series.

For endodontic therapy to be successful, the root canal space must be sterilized. This is often done using intracanal irrigants and medications. To accomplish periradicular region sterilization and healing, various intracanal medicaments and irrigation techniques have been researched for better treatment outcomes.

In Vitro Comparison to Evaluate Metal Ion Release: Nickel-Titanium vs. Titanium-Molybdenum Orthodontic Archwires.

Background When metals used in orthodontic materials are exposed to the oral environment, teeth, and gingivae over an extended period of time, they may gradually deteriorate. As a result, the patient is exposed to higher concentrations of metals and metal ions than what they would be exposed to through food and other sources. The goal of the current in vitro experiment was to evaluate and contrast the metal ion release from orthodontic archwires made of titanium-molybdenum alloy (TMA) and nickel-titanium (NiTi).

Pulpotomy for the Management of Irreversible Pulpitis in Mature Teeth.

Strict protocols for evaluating the pulp's preoperative state should be developed, along with a new classification scheme for the different pulp states, as case selection plays a major role in the effectiveness of adult pulpotomy. In this case report, a male patient, age 15, who had a carious lower left first molar underwent pulpotomy. The pulp's initial state was ascertained by pulse oximetry, electric pulp testing (EPT), and cold testing.

Evaluation of Postoperative Pain in Response to Polydimethylsiloxane and Calcium Silicate-Based Endodontic Sealers Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Background: The main purpose of obturation is to achieve a complete three-dimensional sealing of the pulp space to create a tight seal and prevent bacterial movement and its toxins to the periapical tissues. Different approaches and sealants have been developed due to the root canal system's intricacy for ensuring tight adherence. The root canal sealants need to establish a bond between the material and root dentine in order to prevent leakage.

The Good Old Masserann Technique for the Retrieval of a Separated Instrument: An Endodontic Challenge.

Instrument separation is one of the most upsetting endodontic errors, and it can occur at any time during root canal surgery. A broken file causes a metallic restriction in the root canal and makes it difficult to clean and shape the instrument effectively, thereby making the prognosis questionable. Hence, such a fragment should be properly retrieved when it becomes difficult to bypass it.

A Case Report on the Rehabilitation of Severely Worn Teeth Using a Custom-Made Cast Post.

Posts have been suggested to strengthen weak endodontically treated teeth against intra-oral forces by transmitting torquing forces within the radicular dentin to supportive tissue along their roots. The case studies that follow show how an interdisciplinary approach was used to use complete veneer crowns after custom cast posts to repair severely damaged treated teeth and restore their appearance and functionality. Coordinated prosthetic and endodontic treatments with careful consideration of the patient's expectations and requirements were crucial for a positive result and patient satisfaction.
