Eye Mapping: Innovative Technique for Precise Iris Positioning in Prosthetic Eye.

Aim: The aim of this technique is to institute "Augmented Reality Tool" in the field of maxillofacial prosthesis for an accurate and precise iris positioning in a prosthetic eye.

Background: A congenital defect, irreversible damage, a painful blind eye, sympathetic ophthalmia, or the requirement for histological confirmation of a suspected illness can all result in the absence or loss of an eye. In such circumstances, meticulous preoperative, surgical, and prosthetic planning using a multidisciplinary approach is imperative for successful rehabilitation.

Assessment of emotional stress among patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder in which the upper airway is partially or completely blocked during sleep. As a result, sleep arousal and arterial oxygen saturation are reduced. According to the epidemiological survey, OAS is relatively common among people that may be associated with psychiatric illnesses.

A narrative review on techniques of iris replication in an ocular prosthesis.

The disfigurement associated due to the loss of an eye can cause a significant physical and psychological disturbance. Psychological distress among such unfortunate patients can be reduced by providing an artificial eye. Rehabilitating such patients with an ocular defects is the most challenging task for a prosthodontist.

A method of hollowing the obturator prosthesis and an overview on the pros and cons of the various materials used for hollowing.

Prosthetic rehabilitation of a partial or total maxillectomy with an obturator is the most acceptable treatment option. The hollowing of the obturator prosthesis is beneficial as it reduces the stresses over the underlying and surrounding tissues. A simple technique of fabricating a hollow bulb obturator has been discussed in this article.

Hollow vaginal stent for a case of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome: a case report.

Congenital vaginal agenesis is a common condition with an instance of 1 in 5000 females. It is usually associated with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster Hauser syndrome. Such anomalies have a high impact on the physiology and psychology of patients.

An Innovative Method for Iris Positioning in a Prosthetic Eye.

Aim: An apparatus named "laser pointer apparatus" is proposed for accurate iris positioning in a prosthetic eye.

Background: Loss of an eye leads to significant psychological stress due to functional disability and societal response to the facial disablement. Custom-made eye prosthesis is a good option to rehabilitate such defects.

Assessment of the Change in Color of Maxillofacial Silicone after Curing Using a Mobile Phone Colorimeter Application.

Aim: To evaluate the change in color of the maxillofacial silicone after curing using a mobile phone colorimeter application.

Materials And Methods: A two-piece metal mold was fabricated. Twenty five samples were made using M511, maxillofacial silicone.

Evaluation of the effect of different surface treatments on the bond strength of non-precious alloy‒ceramic interface: An SEM study.

Dental porcelain has excellent esthetics in combination with biocompatibility and is one of the most commonly used restorative materials. Its low tensile strength remains a major drawback. The porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations have been introduced to increase the fracture resistance of dental porcelain.

Comparative Evaluation of the Effect of Chemical Disinfectants and Ultraviolet Disinfection on Dimensional Stability of the Polyvinyl Siloxane Impressions.

Context: Infection control is an important concept in the present day practice of dentistry. Disinfection of dental impressions is part of the daily routine in a dental clinics. After disinfection, it is important that impressions remain dimensionally stable.
