Hegde Chethan, Krishna D Prasad, Jacob Sunil J, Shetty ManojThe Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society 2009 9(3):164-166Patients with severe tooth wear may require extensive restorative procedure to achieve appropriate function, esthetics, and comfort. Occlusal rehabilitation requires a correlation of biologic factors, mechanical principles, and esthetic requirements with treatment procedures. A combination of new generation materials, along with improved clinical procedures, works in tandem to produce an esthetic, long-lasting, and functional outcome, satisfying both the clinician as well as the patient. This clinical re...

Kumar Sandeep, Kamath Giridhar, Gupta SeemaThe Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society 2009 9(3):160-163The use of immediate postextraction implants presents several advantages in terms of reduction of surgical steps and time required to conclude the therapy. Particularly important is the possibility to minimize bone loss that otherwise would occur in the physiologic healing of the alveolus. Immediate implant placement has helped solve issues with regard to bone quality, quantity and esthetics and also treatment time, as opposed to delayed implant placement. Here, a case report has been presented in which immediate extract...

Relationship of anatomic landmarks with occlusal planeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions : It was concluded that: the occlusal plane is parallel to Camper's plane posterior reference point as the superior point of tragus in females and middle point in males. The occlusal plane is not generally parallel to the interpupillary line. Intra-orally, the level of buccinator groove is reliable, while variations in retromolar pad area make it an unreliable landmark for orienting the occlusal plane.

Conclusion : Microwave post-polymerization irradiation can be an effective method to increase the flexural strength of Kooliner (at 550 W for 5 mins) and Denture Liner (at 650 W for 5 mins) by reducing the residual monomer content by further polymerization at free radical sites. The Kooliner reline resin had superior flexural strength compared to Denture Liner reline resin. (Source: The Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society)

Dynamic visco-elastic analysis of silicone maxillo-facial prosthetic material using custom-made dynamic visco-elastometer and LASER measuring deviceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion : Custom-made dynamic visco-elastometer has proved to be reliable, low cost and a convenient instrument to evaluate silicone maxillo-facial prosthetic material. No single material was found to have all the desirable dynamic mechanical properties necessary for maxillo-facial prosthesis applications. Therefore, layering of two or more such kind of materials is recommended to achieve desirable properties. (Source: The Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society)

It is difficult to mask dark underlying tooth colour and retain a natural appearance of the tetracycline stained tooth. While conservation of tooth structure is important, so is selecting the right treatment modality for each patient based on clinical findings. This case is an example to approach a tetracycline stained tooth to achieve a desirable esthetic result. (Source: The Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society)

Shah Farhan K, Rajput Geeta, Lall Saurabh, Bey AfshaThe Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society 2009 9(2):112-115The temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) consists of three basic components: The TMJ, the teeth, and the neuromuscular component. The neuromuscular system consists of nerves and muscles which help in the functioning of the TMJ. The nerves transmit messages to the muscles for jaw functioning. They also transmit pain signals to the brain causing discomfort. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) occur in many forms and varying degrees of severity. The symptoms of TMD can be an obvious jaw pain in the muscles, but can also ex...

The design of the prosthetic tooth will be dictated by aesthetics, function, ease of cleaning, maintenance of healthy tissue on the edentulous ridge and patient comfort. Proper design is more important for hygiene and good tissue health than the choice of material. An ovate pontic has been recommended to fulfill both aesthetic and functional requirements. The convex design of this pontic was intended to form a concave soft tissue outline in the ...

Conclusions: Cantilever titanium connectors with 5.28&#8197;mm2 area are insufficient to withstand 500 N loads in a molar size cantilever, but may support normal physiologic loads of 50 N.

Future studies should evaluate the size of this fillet. (Source: The Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society)

Behanam Mohamed, Haribabu R, Anuroopa AThe Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society 2009 9(1):43-46In patients with a defective maxillo-mandibular complex, the foremost challenge in achieving an accurate centric or eccentric record is the sheer irregularity and non-repeatability of the movements of the mandible. As a result, mandatory clinical procedures like jaw relations, intra or extra-oral tracings and interocclusal records are made complicated, and the accuracy of such records, questionable. Hence every maxillofacial patient must be considered on an individual basis and rehabilitation procedures customized to suit the ...

New spring retained surgical obturator for total maxillectomy patientEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Patil Pravinkumar G, Parkhedkar Rambhau DThe Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society 2009 9(1):33-35Prosthetic rehabilitation with surgical obturator for total maxillectomy patients is a challenging job because of the lack of normal hard and soft tissue support. In such cases the obturator can be retained with a spring-retained appliance if mandibular dentition is normal. A patient (treated with total maxillectomy) was rehabilitated with a new spring-retained surgical obturator. The spring used in this type of appliance is made up of 23-gauge stainless steel orthodontic wire which incorporates four coils. The spring is sim...

Radicular attachment assisted prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with a unilateral maxillectomy defect secondary to adenocystic carcinomaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Padmanabhan T V, Mohammad Kasim, Gupta Rajiv KumarThe Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society 2009 9(1):28-32The rehabilitation of patients with acquired defects of the maxilla is a challenge in terms of re-establishing oronasal separation. In most patients these goals are met by means of prosthetic rehabilitation with an obturator prosthesis. Prosthetic rehabilitation can be achieved satisfactorily if all facets of treatment planning and design consideration are taken well into account prior to the rehabilitation process. In many cases effective obturation is achieved but in the relative majority, the prosthesis is usuall...

An in vitro study of the effect of different occlusal registration materials on the reproducibility of mounting castsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study compared the recorded interocclusal relationships produced using commonly used materials, determining which material accurately provides records of the interocclusal relationship for remounting. Ten occlusal registration materials were used in this study. Maxillary and mandibular casts were mounted on an articulator in maximum intercuspation. The interocclusal relationship was recorded with each specimen under a constant weight. Remounting of the mandibular cast was accomplished with the interocclusal record. The record was removed and the interocclusal contact recorded using occlusal indicator wax. The penetrat...
