Bar Retained Dento-Alveolar Prosthesis: A Case Report
Abstract A technique for restoring missing anterior teeth with associated extensive alveolar bone loss has been presented. This technique combines fixed and removable restorations where in removable prosthesis that restores the alveolar defect gets attached to the fixed prosthesis through precision attachment. The fixed prosthesis contributes to esthetics, function and also elevates patient’s self image. The removable prosthesis provides the much needed soft tissue support and also facilitates oral hygiene maintenance. (Source: The Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society)

A Comparative Study on the Relationship Between Inter Alar Width, and Inter Commissural Width on Circumferential Arc Width of Maxillary Anterior Teeth in Different Age Groups
This study was done to determine the relationship between interalar width and inter commissural width on circumferential arc width of maxillary anterior teeth in dentulous subjects between the age groups of 20–50 years. The study involved 300 subjects, in whom measurements were made from the distal aspect of each maxillary canine, across the facial surfaces of the six anterior teeth, using brass wire and a Vernier calliper. Interalar and inter commissural width were recorded after placing two points and measured with a Vernier calliper. Results were statistically analyzed using unpaired t test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Pe...

To Study the Flow Property of Seven Commercially Available Zinc Oxide Eugenol Impression Material at Various Time Intervals After Mixing
Abstract Aims and objective of the study was to evaluate the flow property of seven commercially available zinc oxide eugenol impression materials at various time intervals, after mixing 49 samples (seven groups) were fabricated for flow property of the material. The sample were fabricated as equal length of base and accelerator paste of the test materials was taken on the glass slab and mixed with a rigid stainless steel spatula as per manufacturers recommendation till the homogenous mix was obtained. The mix material was loaded in glass syringe and 0.5 ml material was injected on a cellophane sheet p...

Evaluation of Awareness and Knowledge About Denture Cleansers Among Dental Professionals
Abstract Denture cleansers have been widely used in prosthodontics for cleaning and maintaining dentures. However, little is known about dentist’s knowledge, awareness and experience of denture cleansers. Denture wearers would benefit greatly from a dental professional’s guidance regarding use of dental cleansers. Basic objective of this study is to investigate awareness and knowledge about denture cleansers among dental professionals. A quota sampling technique was adopted with a sample size of 200 respondents. A well-structured questionnaire was used for collection of cross-sectional data. Statist...

A Comparative Analysis of the Effect of Three Types of Denture Adhesives on the Retention of Maxillary Denture Bases: An In Vivo Study
Abstract There are many factors involved in the success of a good quality complete dentures, one of them is retention. There are some forcing situations where providing optimal retention may be a problem, in which use of denture adhesives is recommended. In the present study, primary and secondary impressions were made on 20 completely edentulous patients, master cast was fabricated. Master cast was duplicated; heat-cured denture base was fabricated. The retention test for control group, powder group, wafer group, paste group was done using a customized force sensor device. Readings was subjected to ANO...

Comparison of Fracture Toughness of All-Ceramic and Metal–Ceramic Cement Retained Implant Crowns: An In Vitro Study
Abstract To evaluate the fracture toughness of cement-retained implant-supported metal–ceramic molar crown with that of all-ceramic crowns, fabricated using IPS Empress 2 and yttria-stabilized zirconia copings. An dental implant and abutment was embedded in a clear polymethyl methacrylate model. A wax pattern reproducing the anatomy and dimension of a mandibular molar was made using inlay wax. Copings were made from the manufacturers guidelines for zirconia, metal ceramic and empress crown, in total of 21 copings, which were built for the crowns with metal layering ceramics specified by the manufactur...

Evaluation of Efficacy of Microwave Irradiation in Disinfecting Dental Gypsum Casts: An Ex Vivo Study
Abstract The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of microwave irradiation in disinfecting gypsum casts and also to compare its efficacy with validated method of chemical disinfection. The present study is an ex vivo study conducted on a sample of five irreversible hydrocolloid impressions in vitro and on ten patients gypsum casts in vivo following standard impression techniques to check the efficacy of microwave oven irradiation and compare its efficacy with standard chemical method of disinfection. Results were analysed using Mann–Whitney test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Untreated gypsum c...

Evaluating The Fracture Toughness and Flexural Strength of Pressable Dental Ceramics: An In Vitro Study
Abstract The 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 material 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 ...

Orthodontic Microimplants Assisted Intrusion of Supra-erupted Maxillary Molar Enabling Osseointegrated Implant Supported Mandibular Prosthesis: Case Reports
AbstractLoss of mandibular molars, when not replaced in time, are usually associated with overeruption of maxillary molars. To provide prosthetic replacement for missing lower posteriors, over erupted maxillary teeth have been intruded in past with great difficulty in adults with conventional orthodontics, along with associated problems of root resorption. Currently orthodontic microimplants provide stable intraoral anchorage, allow predictable maxillary molar intrusion enabling reestablishment of functional posterior occlusion with mandibular implant supported prosthesis, thereby reducing need for prosthetic crown reducti...

Treating Dehiscence During Implant Placement and Loading on Angled Abutment in Maxillary Lateral Incisor Region: A Case Report
Abstract The primary factor causing recession is the morphology and anatomy of the dentition. The facial bony plate overlying the root is usually very thin. The complete absence of bone over the facial root surface is referred to as dehiscence. Such buccal bone defects in case of implant dentistry threaten the survival of dental implant. Many surgical techniques are introduced to enhance alveolar bone volume for placing the dental implants. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is one such established surgical technique for correcting buccal dehiscence defects, along with the use of various barrier membranes for...
