“…When available, the assistant must sit to the left of a right-handed operator and sufficiently close to the patient to avoid leaning forward but at the same time should be approximately 10 cm higher than the operator to avoid having a restricted view. That position would also facilitate them reaching and transferring instruments and materials to the operator in the transfer zone [70].…”

Minimally invasive (MI) caries management has largely evolved over the years to include approaches that not only aimed to preserve as much tooth structure as possible but also to embrace prevention and risk management strategies. The atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) is a minimally invasive approach that was initially established to address the issue of increasing number of salvable teeth that kept being extracted in remote parts of the world where there was a limited access to the necessary equipment to enable preserving teeth in the primary and permanent dentitions. Managing carious lesions following ART is not as demanding as that in the conventional restorative methods, however, there are certain factors known to contribute to the failure of atraumatic restorative treatment that need to be considered to ensure success. However, and despite the advantages associated with using ART there seems to be a lack of awareness among dental practitioners regarding adopting this approach that can largely affect effective practice. Therefore, there is a need to spread the awareness and further educate practitioners particularly in this Covid-19 era where the virus and its variants have impacted the provision of routine dental treatment and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

One of the major reason for a successful denture treatment is a good impression and the cast made out of it. It’s a well known fact, that the denture can only be as good as the impressions made. Therefore, attention to every detail and depth of the impressions plays a pivotal role for a successful clinical result, for which border moulding is an essential procedure for the same. Impressions convey operator’s extent of knowledge, understanding and the clinical results that can follow. A combination of a sound knowledge, along with acquired skill, experience, and patience can result in a successful and aesthetic prosthesis with adequate retention, stability and support with minimal post placement corrections. This article gives an insight into the necessary requisites to be followed during border moulding and secondary impression in making of a successful complete dentures.

“…Putting lifting aside, poor posture in general dentistry poses a significant risk of back pain to members of the dental team. 18 'Perfect posture' may be difficult to achieve in less-than-perfect operating conditions, that is, where access to the mouth is difficult as discussed above. Members of the dental team should additionally assess the risks to their own health and take necessary precautions.…”

he number of wheelchair users in the UK is increasing, and it may be more convenient and appropriate for many of these individuals to receive their dental care in a general dental practice rather than in a community or tertiary facility. This article is intended to provide the average general dental practitioner (GDP) with the basic tools and increased confidence to effectively triage this cohort of the population, and accept them for treatment or refer appropriately. Background context There are more than 11 million people in the UK living with a limiting long term illness, impairment or disability, 1 and 3.3% of UK households have one or more wheelchair users. 2 In recent years, there has been much attention L. Ramirez 1 and C. Dickinson 2 provide guidance to facilitate the treatment of some groups of wheelchair users in general dental practice.
