Comparative study of two different designs of partial over denture supported with distal implant for the treatment of mandibular Kennedy class II cases
Conclusion: It is concluded that unilateral removable partial denture was more comfortable and better with speech. The use of dental implant as a distal abutment in class II Kennedy classification reduces all the movements of denture base and results in better healthy condition for the gingival and periodontium of the abutment tooth than when using conventional partial denture.

Evaluation of two different reinforcing materials used with silicone auricular prostheses
Conclusion None of the tested prostheses showed any clinically detrimental effects on the underlying tissues. Reinforcing silicone with polyurethane sheets and polypropylene fibers improved the tear strength, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity thus providing better marginal integrity and durability of prostheses. Addition for modifying the silicone as a famous maxillofacial prosthetic material seems to be an active area for further researches. (Source: Tanta Dental Journal)

Expression of perlecan, syndecan-1 and Ki-67 in keratocystic odontogenic tumor
Publication date: December 2013 Source:Tanta Dental Journal, Volume 10, Issue 3 Author(s): O.M. Wahba , A.M. Raghib , E.M. Megahed , M.M. Hussein Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is recently considered as one of benign odontogenic tumors due to its unique clinical, histopathological and biological features. In this work twenty cases of keratocystic odontogenic tumor were stained by perlecan, syndecan-1 (CD138) and Ki-67 to study the biological behavior of the tumor. From the results of the study, all the cases of keratocystic odontogenic tumor express perlecan, syndecan-1 and Ki-67. These results concluded tha...

The effect of combined application of new dentin desensitizing agent and deproteinization on dentin permeability of different adhesive systems
Publication date: December 2013 Source:Tanta Dental Journal, Volume 10, Issue 3 Author(s): N.S. Farghal , A.I. Abdalla , S.M. El-Shabrawy , E.A. Showaib Purpose To evaluate the effect of dentin desensitization using casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate paste; CPP-ACP, with and without deproteinization (10% sodium hypochlorite), on dentin permeability of two types of self-etch adhesives and a total-etch one. Materials and methods 90 freshly extracted, sound human molars were sectioned into 1 mm thick dentin disks, and randomly divided into three equal groups (S1, S2, and S3); 30 specimens each, accor...
