A Simple Technique for Placing Extraoral Implants at an Optimal Position in Orbital Defects
AbstractTranslucent acrylic templates have been used to indicate implant positions for implant ‐retained extraoral prostheses; however, this procedure can be challenging, as the acrylic templates have to be positioned onto reflected skin flaps. The fabrication of an acrylic‐based colorless template or duplicating an existing prosthesis can facilitate the location of extraoral implants. Sp ots can be created on templates to indicate the optimal position of the implants. Afterward, punching the skin to the bone with a very thick sharp needle or a small sharp bur will mark the desired implant position on the bone before r...

Fabrication Method for a Mounting Jig and Cast Support for Mounting Complete Dentures
AbstractIn complete denture fabrication, the definitive maxillary cast is mounted on an articulator using a facebow transfer or mounting jig, and the mandibular cast is mounted using an interocclusal record. The technique presented describes an easy and inexpensive method for fabrication of a mounting jig and rigid cast supports for mounting complete dentures. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

Evaluation of Flexural Strength of Different Denture Base Materials Reinforced with Different Nanoparticles
ConclusionsThe mechanical properties of PMMA can be improved by the addition of nanoparticles to PMMA; however, the flexural strength values of PMMA decrease with the addition of nanoparticles at higher percentages (3 ‐5%). Hence, the ideal filler ratio corresponds to 1%. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

A Novel Approach to Improve Repair Bond Strength of Repaired Acrylic Resin: An in Vitro Study on the Shear Bond Strength
ConclusionApplication of bonding agents to repair surfaces after alumina blasting improved the repair bond strength and proved to be a possible new adhesive method for denture repair. Moreover, nano ‐ZrO2 addition in combination with surface treatment improved the repair bond strength. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

A Comparative Evaluation of Stress Distribution with Two Attachment Systems of Varying Heights in a Mandibular Implant ‐Supported Overdenture: A Three‐Dimensional Finite Element Analysis
ConclusionsWithin the limitations of the study, Locator attachments demonstrated lesser and more homogenous stress distribution in the implant ‐overdenture complex in comparison to ball attachments. The stresses generated within the tissues increase with an increase in collar height of the attachment system and therefore, attachments should be as short as possible for more favorable stress transmission.

Insertion Torque of Variable ‐Thread Tapered Implants in the Posterior Maxilla: A Clinical Study
ConclusionsITVs of variable ‐thread implants were significantly influenced by variations in bone quality and implant position in the posterior maxilla. Despite the influence of bone quality on primary stability, the mean ITVs attained with variable‐thread tapered implants in poor bone quality were within the recommended ra nge for immediate loading.
