AbstractThe study was undertaken to evaluate the parallelism between hamular-incisive-papilla plane (HIP) and the Campers plane. And to determine which part of the posterior reference of the tragus i.e., the superior, middle or the inferior of the Camper ’s plane is parallel to HIP using digital lateral cephalograms. Fifty edentulous subjects with well formed ridges were selected for the study. The master casts were obtained using the standard selective pressure impression procedure. On the deepest point of the hamular notches and the centre of th e incisive papilla stainless steel spherical bearings were glued to the ca...

Evaluating The Fracture Toughness and Flexural Strength of Pressable Dental Ceramics: An In Vitro Study
AbstractThe study was undertaken to evaluate the biaxial flexural strength, biaxial flexural strength after etching with 9 % HF acid and fracture toughness of three commonly used pressable all ceramic core materials. Ninety glass ceramic specimens were fabricated from three commercially available leucite based core ceramic material (1) Esthetic Empress, (2) Cergo, and (3) Performance Plus. Thirty discs of each materia l were divided into three groups of 10 discs each. Biaxial flexural strength (30 discs,) Biaxial flexural strength for samples treated with 9 % HF acid (30 discs) and fracture toughness (30 discs) were eva...

Oral Appliance for the Treatment of Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Edentulous Patient
AbstractOral appliances have attracted interest for the treatment of mild and moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the mandibular repositioning device (MRD) or a tongue-retainer device (TRD) is usually indicated to increase the upper air space. Describes a combination of MRD (with 60 % maximum mandibular protrusion) and TRD to treat severe OSA. Polysomnography (PSG) and two questionnaires: the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) evaluated the sleep pattern in two times (after and before the use of oral appliance). The initial PSG exam w as compatible with diagnoses severe OS...

Effect of Varying Layers of Two Die Spacers on Precementation Space of Full Coverage Restorations
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of varying layers of two commercially available die spacers on pre-cementation space of full coverage restorations in vitro and in vivo. Seven dies were prepared for each of 15 subjects. On three dies 1, 2, 3 layers of Pico-fit and on other three dies 1, 2, 3 layers of Yeti die spacers applied, wax pattern fabricated, invested and cast. Metal copings seated in vitro on die without die spacer and on prepared tooth of respective subject with fit-checker. Thickness of fit checker was measured using micrometer at mid-axial, mid-occlus...

Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Amputated Thumb: A Simplified Approach
Abstract
This case report presents a case of prosthetic rehabilitation of an amputated thumb. It emphasizes that prosthetic replacement is a better option for aesthetic and psychological improvement, particularly in cases where the victim is unwilling to undergo complicated surgical procedures for reconstruction of thumb or where functioning of thumb cannot be restored even by multiple surgeries. In the present case, a 20 years old female patient, with missing thumb of her right hand was rehabilitated aesthetically by a non-invasive and cost effective prosthetic procedure by using heat temperature vulc...

Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Congenital Soft Palate Defect
Abstract
Obturator is derived from the Latin verb obturate which means to close or to shut off. This definition provides an appropriate description of the objective of obturation in patients with palatal defects. The obturator is often helpful in improving the speech of individuals with partial or total velar defects i.e. cleft of soft palate. Soft palate cleft is one of the most common cause of velopharyngeal incompetence, which is the functional inability of the soft palate to effectively seal with the posterior and or lateral pharyngeal walls. In maxillofacial prosthesis the clinician may have the re...

Comprehensive Rehabilitation of Partially Amputated Index Finger with Silicone Prosthesis: A Case Report with 3 years of Follow Up
Abstract
The loss of all or part of a finger following traumatic amputation may have a negative impact on physical and psychological well-being. An esthetic prosthesis can offer psychological, functional, and rehabilitative advantages. One of the major problems associated with somato-prosthetic replacement of partially amputated finger is inadequate retention of the prosthesis. This may stem from the weight of the prosthesis, inadequate tissue support, and/or the particular area of the finger to be replaced. A number of means have been employed to enhance retention. Among the more common are adhesives, ...

Postural Assessment of Students Evaluating the Need of Ergonomic Seat and Magnification in Dentistry
This study recommends the use of an ergonomic seat and magnification system to enhance the visibility and the posture of an operator. The aim of this study is to make a foray into the hazards caused by inappropriate posture of dental students while working. It also aims at creating a cognizance about the related health implications among the dental fraternity at large, and to understand the significance of adopting an ergonomic posture since the beginning of the professional course. In the present study, postures have been assessed by using rapid upper limb assessment (RULA). This method uses diagrams of body postures and ...

Zirconia Intra Mucosal Inserts as a Retentive Aid for Maxillary Complete Dentures: A Case Report
Abstract
Complete dentures fabricated for edentulous patients with resorbed ridges generally have compromised retention and stability. The use of intramucosal inserts in order to aid retention of a maxillary denture has been reported in the past. Zirconia is a tissue compatible biomaterial whose scope and application in dentistry is on the rise. This paper reports the fabrication of zirconia intramucosal inserts and the technique of its incorporation in the maxillary complete denture in order to enhance retention, stability and thereby oral function.
