The paper describes the technique of plasma spraying used to fortify the coating of permanent dentures. This method helps improve the quality of permanent dentures and strengthen the adhesion of coatings on retention layers. Hence, dentures with very thin retention layer and vary strong coating adhesion can be made by traditional methods of denture making, thus improving the quality of prosthetic treatment. Traditional plastic may be used as coating material.

BACKGROUND A tooth preparation's clinical requirements and geometric configurations should take precedence over material characteristics when advocating for putty reline impression techniques for permanent restorations, since they require a technically sensitive spacer for light body elastomer. We evaluated the linear dimensional accuracy of vinyl polysiloxane-based putty reline impressions with different spacer acquisition techniques in short-span and long-span fixed partial dentures (FPD). MATERIAL AND METHODS A typodont tooth set simulated a 3-unit (short-span) and a 5-unit (long-span) FPD.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the effectiveness of ultrasound and CT scans for diagnosing salivary gland stones in 188 patients, with a focus on submandibular and parotid glands.
  • It found that CT scans identified some stones missed by ultrasound, and certain techniques in ultrasound can improve accuracy.
  • The research suggests avoiding CT for patients with dental work due to radiation concerns and recommends targeted ultrasound as a safer alternative.

Introduction:  Interim restorations are essential in restorative dentistry, serving as temporary solutions until permanent restorations can be placed. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a promising solution for customizing teeth for removable dentures to match the exact requirements of patients. The color stability of these restorations is critical for patient satisfaction.
