Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness in experienced and nonexperienced denture wearers after the insertion of new complete dentures.
Materials And Methods: A total of 88 patients with complete dentures have participated in this study. The research was divided into two experimental groups, compared with the previous experience prosthetic dental treatment. The sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness was measured with metal foil with 8 m thickness and width of 8 mm, placed between the upper and lower incisor region. Statistical analysis was performed using standard software package BMDP (biomedical statistical package).
Results: Results suggest that time of measurement affects the average values of the sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness ( = 242.68, = 0.0000). Gender appeared to be a significant factor when it interacted with time measurement resulting in differences in sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness (gender: = 9.84, = 0.018; = 4.83, = 0.0003).
Conclusion: The sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness was the most important functional adaptation in patient with complete dentures. A unique trait of this indicator is the progressive reduction of initial values and a tendency to reestablish the stationary state in the fifteenth week after dentures is taken off.

Major limb amputation in a child is a rare but devastating injury associated with significant psychosocial and financial burden. This, combined with the higher growth and remodelling potential despite segmental limb loss, decreases the threshold for replantation in children. Advances in microsurgical techniques and a better understanding of such injuries have led to lower limb replantation becoming a feasible option, with good long-term functional outcomes, even in bilateral amputations.

This study investigates the proposed mechanism of mindfulness, its impact on body awareness and interoception, and its potential benefits for mental and physical health. Using psychophysical assessments, we compared 31 expert meditators with 33 matched controls (non-meditators who engage in regular reading, more than 5 h per week) in terms of somatosensory accuracy with a somatosensory signal detection task (SSDT) and interoceptive sensibility via self-report measures. We hypothesized that meditators would demonstrate superior somatosensory accuracy, indicative of heightened body awareness, potentially linked to increased alpha modulation in the somatosensory cortex, as observed via electroencephalography (EEG).

Objective: To assess the reliability of pulp sensibility tests in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Background: The orthodontic force may cause transient changes in pulp vasculature leading to alteration in its response threshold. This may vary with the type, duration and magnitude of forces used.

Background: Hypertrophic scars and keloids are forms of pathologic scarring that can give rise to pain and pruritus. The link between nerve function and nerve density and the symptoms in pathologic scars (PS) remains unclear.
Objective: We aim to assess current knowledge on nerve function and nerve density in PS, and to explore a possible association between alterations in sensibility/nerve density and pathologic scar symptoms.
