Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw results in extensive excision and proves challenging to rehabilitate prosthetically. This article describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw induced by nintedanib. A custom-made subperiosteal implant was designed to adapt to the bone, remaining after the exci...

Statement of problem: Variation in the baseline mechanical properties of polyamide thermoplastic polymers used in the fabrication of prosthetic dental appliances and the effects of nonaldehyde disinfectants on the mechanical properties of these polymers are unclear. Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the flexural and impa...

Introduction The ultimate success of fixed prosthesis is to pay meticulous attention to the detailed production of the missing tooth structure. Such an accurate replication is technically demanding. Hence, the aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of marginal fit of castings with varying sprue diameter and using ring and ringless techniques...

Although there have been a lot of advances in the field of esthetic and cosmetic restorative dentistry, metal—ceramic restorations stand apart in the race to achieve superior esthetics with its strong points of strength and accuracy of cast metal and esthetics of porcelain. To achieve superior esthetic restorations operators are compelled to narrow...

Background The disabilities associated with oral health; like missing teeth, are many. The management of these disabilities is of utmost importance to any dental practitioner. Materials and methods This study was conducted at the outpatient department (OPD) of Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal, located in Udupi district of South-West Kar...

Background: Edentulous patients seek treatment to restore their oral function and esthetics, so that they can eat and speak more easily and feel better about themselves. The dental pros-thesis helps replacement of teeth and restores oral function and esthetics. For the success of the treatment and acceptance of the prosthesis, maintenance of the pr...

Distraction osteogenesis is a surgical process for reconstruction of skeletal deformities and augmentation procedures. It involves gradual, controlled displacement of surgically created fractures which result in simultaneous expansion of soft tissue and bone volume. Although the majority of surgical experience with distraction technology has been i...

Alloys for prosthodontic restorations have become increasingly complex in the last 25 years. The proper selection and manipulation of these alloys is imperative if dental prosthesis are to perform well with longevity. During the routine casting procedures, a good amount of alloy is wasted. These wasted alloys can be recycled and used with fresh all...
