Replacement of a Congenitally Missing Maxillary Incisor by Implant Supported Prosthesis
Abstract Maxillary central incisors have the least incidence of congenital absence. When it does happen, the patient may present with over retained deciduous centrals or the contralateral central may have drifted into the available space presenting as generalised anterior spacing with loss of midline. In such cases a multi-disciplinary approach may be required with orthodontic treatment to re-organise the space available in order to rehabilitate the patient with a fixed prosthesis. This case report presents the treatment of a patient with congenitally missing maxillary left central incisor using dental ...

“Split Cast Mounting: Review and New Technique”
Abstract For the fabrication of a prosthesis, the Prosthodontist meticulously performs all the steps. The laboratory technician then make every effort/strives to perform the remaining lab procedures. However when the processed dentures are remounted on the articulator, some changes are seen. These changes may be divided into two categories: Pre-insertion and post-insertion changes, which deal with the physical properties of the materials involved (Parker, J Prosthet Dent 31:335–342, 1974). Split cast mounting is the method of mounting casts on the articulator. It is essentially a maxillary cast constr...

Craniofacial Prosthetic Reconstruction Using Polymethyl Methacrylate Implant: A Case Report
Abstract Large cranial defects of complex geometric shapes are challenging to reconstruct. The cranial implants has to be fabricated prior to the cranioplastic surgery. The ideal material for cranial implant has to be inert, light weight, easy to fit and adaptable to the defect, offering the best aesthetic and functional results. Here is a clinical case report of a patient who was operated for osteomyelitis in the parieto-temporal region. The defect was reconstructed with heat cure polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Operative closure of the defect was facilitated with ligature titanium wires with minimal pr...

A Comparative Evaluation of the Effect of Double Casting Technique Using Functionally Generated Path and Conventional Single Casting with Respect to Functional Articulation, Patient Satisfaction and Chair Side Time, in Single Unit Molar Teeth: An In Vivo Study
This study was conducted to evaluate the benefits of the double casting technique with FGP over the conventional casting technique. Ten patients with root canal treated maxillary molar were selected for the fabrication of metal crown. Two techniques, one involving the conventional fabrication and other using functionally generated path with double casting were used to fabricate the prosthesis. A comparison based on various parameters which was done between the two techniques. The change in the height of castings for the double casting group was less compared to the conventional group and was highly statistically significan...

Comparison of Marginal Gap and Microleakage in Copy-Milled and Cad-Milled Zirconia Copings Bonded Using Light Cure and Chemical Cure Resin Bonding Systems
Abstract This in vitro study assessed the marginal gap and marginal microleakage in zirconia copings fabricated using two computer aided techniques- CAD milling and Copy milling and cemented to respective tooth preparations using two resin bonding systems, light cure and self-cure resin bonding systems. 32 extracted premolars were prepared to receive zirconia copings fabricated using CAD/CAM and Copy milling techniques. Once the copings were fabricated, the samples were evaluated for marginal fit prior to cementation through microscopic observation. Evaluation of marginal gap was done again after cement...

Mandibular Overdenture Retained by Magnetic Assembly: A Clinical tip
This article presents a simple and efficient method of fabrication of mandibular over denture retained by magnets in a patient whose mandibular residual ridge is severely resorbed with few remaining teeth and maxillary conventional removable partial denture. Mandibular over denture retained by magnets assembly consist of magnet and coping with keeper on remaining tooth structure to rehabilitate the patient since magnetic attachments can provide support, stability and retention.

Analysis of Relative Parallelism Between Hamular-Incisive-Papilla Plane and Campers Plane in Edentulous Subjects: A Comparative Study
Abstract The 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 the incisive papilla stainless steel spherical bearings w...

Effectiveness of Chemical and Microwave Disinfection on Denture Biofilm Fungi and the Influence of Disinfection on Denture Base Adaptation
Abstract The aims of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of six disinfection methods and the influence of these methods on the adaptation of maxillary dentures. Acrylic resin specimens contaminated with fungi were exposed to the following disinfection treatments: 1. microwave oven (900 W) at full power for 5 min (with soaking the specimen in 250 ml water), 2. microwave oven at medium power for 5 min (with soaking the specimen in 250 ml water), 3. sodium hypochlorite 5.25 % for 5 min, 4. diluted sodium hypochlorite 1:420 for 5 h, 5. Chlorhexidine gluconate for 5 h, 6. effervescent tabl...

Oral Appliance for the Treatment of Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Edentulous Patient
Abstract Oral 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 was compatible with ...

A Simple Technique to Fabricate Custom Made Occlusal Plane Template
Abstract The plane of occlusion represents the average curvature of the occlusal surfaces of anterior and posterior teeth rather than a flat surface. An anteroposterior curve, the curve of Spee and the mediolateral curve, the curve of Wilson determine the position of posterior teeth. Management of patients with uneven occlusal plane is an essential step for the long term success of the treatment. Devices, like occlusal plane analyzers, are routinely used to evaluate the occlusal problems and help improve the situation. Yurkstas metal occlusal template is a device frequently used to determine proper occl...

Evaluation of Oral Stereognostic Ability After Rehabilitating Patients with Complete Dentures: In Vivo Study
Abstract Stereognosis has been defined as the appreciation of the form of objects by palpation. Whilst this definition holds good for the manual exploration of objects, it is possible for the shape of objects to be explored intra orally referred to as oral stereognosis. To better understand patients’ relative satisfaction with complete dentures, differences in oral stereognostic perception, based on the identification of 6 edible objects was analyzed in a group of 30 edentulous individuals at 3 stages, namely, just before (pre-treatment), 30 min after (30 min post-treatment) and 1 month after (1 m...

Use of Gunning Splint for the Treatment of Edentulous Mandibular Fracture: A Case Report
Abstract Treating edentulous mandibular fracture is difficult in elderly patients due to compromised medical condition of the patient and various contraindications for the surgical approach. The complication rate of infection or malunion is higher compared to fractures in younger, dentulous patients. For such conditions, ‘Gunning splint’ is a better option as it provides close reduction and stabilization of mandibular fracture, thus improving the prognosis.
