Context: Residual ridge resorption(RRR) affect the patient’s satisfaction with complete denture by decreasing the sulcus / vestibular depth, Aims: The aim of this study is to find the correlation between difference in sulcus / vestibular depth by intraoral examination and on master cast/ old denture with patient’s satisfaction from complete denture. Settings and Design: The study included old denture wearer and complete denture prosthesis made by different operators in the college. Methods and Material: The vestibular sulcus depths at 7 different sites in edentulous maxilla and 12 different sites in edentulous mandible  and respective flange height in maxillary and mandibular denture were measured. Prevalidated questionnaire was used to measure the satisfaction of patients with denture. Statistical analysis used:  Pearson correlation was done to find the correlation between satisfaction score and difference in sulcus / vestibular depth. Results: The difference in sulcus depth in maxilla with maxillary cast and mandible with mandibular master cast/ denture showed medium to large negative correlation with p value 0.01. The increase in difference will lead to decrease in satisfaction score of patients.

Background:Majority of general dental practitioners provide fixed dental prosthesis in India. The aim of this study was to gather information on selection, usage, and materials and methods employed in interocclusal records and their communication with the dental laboratory for restorative procedures practised by dentists in Indore district to evaluate and to improve the quality of current practice.Aim and Objectives:The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to understand and to evaluate dental practitioner's knowledge on interocclusal recording materials, its usage, their clinical implications, and their correlation with the laboratory in restorative procedures practiced by the dental practitioners in Indore district.Materials and Methods:A questionnaire comprising 11 questions were framed and circulated among general dental practitioners except prosthodontists, and the results were statistically analyzed.Results:Most of the practitioner's preferred wax (54.6%) as an interocclusal recording material over polyvinylsiloxane and polyether. Most of the dentists preferred full arch interocclusal record (27.8%). About 51.5% clinicians trimmed the interocclusal record before sending to the laboratory.Conclusion:From this survey, it has been concluded that the practitioner's attitude toward the use of interocclusal record materials is found to be deviated from well-acknowledged prosthodontic quality guidelines.

Beading and Boxing of impression is taught in most dental colleges. The boxing procedure is crucial step to preserve the details of the final impression especially of the vestibular area. This article describes an alternative beading-boxing procedure that is compatible with all impression materials, is efficient, simple, inexpensive, and practicable. Use of commercially available instant adhesive around the border to act as a joining agent between elastic impressions and beading wax or bead made up of base plate wax is advocated in this technique.

The endodontic treatment of maxillary third molar often poses a challenge even to an experienced endodontist because of their most posterior location in the dental arch, aberrant occlusal anatomy, abnormal root canal configuration and eruption patterns. Owing to these anatomical limitations, their extraction remains the treatment of choice for many clinicians. As we know, retaining every functional component of the dental arch is of prime importance in contemporary dental practice. This clinical case report aims to discuss the endodontic treatment of maxillary third molar with MB2 root canal separated throughout the length and exit at two separate apical foramina (Vertucci type IV) diagnosed with Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)..

Aim:To rehabilitate the patients with labially placed implants in maxillary anterior region to achieve optimal esthetics, emergence profile and function, along with the preservation of surroun ding hard and soft tissue.Background: Rehabilitation of a patient with maxillary anteriors with labially placed implant is always a challenge for a prosthodontist. If prefabricated abutments are used, labial contour would be too bulky that the implant-supported prosthesis would be out of arch.
