“Often the loss reveals the value of things”. Surgical removal of odontogenic tumors in the posterior region of mandible leads to discontinuity of mandible. Prosthetic rehabilitation is a successful treatment modality to reconstructive surgeries. Mandibular resection leads to deviated mandibular movements, disfigurement, facial profile asymmetry, dysphagia, impaired speech and, deviation of the mandible towards the surgical site. Treatment modality for oral rehabilitation of patients with mandibular resection includes maxillomandibular fixation, implant-supported prosthesis, removable mandibular guide flange prosthesis, and twin occlusion prosthesis. One of the treatment options for the mandibular defect is Cast partial denture prosthesis, whereas surgical reconstruction by implants and grafts is always not feasible in every patient. This clinical report describes rehabilitation of Cantor and Curtis class III mandibular defect using cast partial denture prosthesis following hemi mandibulectomy.

Osseointegration is the key for long term success of endosseous dental implants. Implant surface properties like roughness, topography, energy and composition are the major surface features that influence the process of osseointegration. Several methods have been used to optimize implant surface roughness to increase surface area thereby improving the process of osseointegration. Blasting using alumina and titanium dioxide, acid treatment, anodization, and laser peeling are some of the subtractive methods used to optimize implant surface roughness. Additive methods, on the other hand, are used to coat HA onto the surface of endosseous implants and these include plasma sprayed HA, vacuum deposition technique, solgel and dip coating method, electrolytic process and nano-HA coating. Recently, biomimetic implant surfaces are being produced with calcium phosphate coatings under physiological conditions. These coatings may also act as vehicles for osteogenic agents like BMPs, GDFs and biologically active drugs like bisphosphonates, gentamicin, tetracycline, etc. Methods used for surface modifications of endosseous dental implants are vast and continuously evolving with the recently developed technologies. This article gives an overview of various surface modifications and current trends followed in the field oral implantology. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Correspondence: *Corresponding author Email Address: Email: narasimhag@vdc.edu.in How to cite this article: Narasimha Rao G, Pampana S, Yarram A, Suresh Sajjan MC, Ramaraju AV, Bheemalingeswara Rao D.

Impression making is one of the most common procedures that are performed by dentists in day-to-day practice. These impressions can act as vehicles of transmission and carry various types of microorganisms, which further cause diseases like Hepatitis B, C, HIV, Tuberculosis etc. This contamination and cross contamination of microorganisms can be prevented by disinfecting the impressions immediately after removing from the mouth and label them as disinfected. Usually the impressions are placed under running water to remove saliva and blood, but this will eliminate the disease-causing microorganisms, so a standard protocol to disinfect the impressions and casts should be known to dentists and dental personnel. Various methods of impression disinfection like chemical disinfection, Microwave, Autoclave, Ultraviolet radiation have been described in literature having their own advantages, disadvantages and effects on impression material and casts. Recently antimicrobials and nanoparticles have been incorporated into the impression material itself to make it selfdisinfecting. This will not only disinfect the impression material from inside but also disinfect the impressions from the time it is inserted in patient’s mouth. A broad search on the literature available was performed to provide knowledge about mechanism of action, concentration of usage along with commercial preparations available of different disinfectants. This review article will enhance the knowledge and improve the behavior of dental health care workers about impression disinfection. ______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Correspondence: *Corresponding author Email Address: drsatya@doctor.com How to cite this article: Mantena SR.

印模制作是牙医在日常实践中最常见的程序之一。这些印痕可以作为传播媒介，携带各种微生物，进一步引起乙型肝炎、丙型肝炎、艾滋病毒、结核病等疾病。这种污染和微生物的交叉污染可以通过从口腔中取出后立即消毒并标记为已消毒来防止。通常将印模置于流水中以去除唾液和血液，但这将消除致病微生物，因此牙医和牙科人员应了解印模和铸模消毒的标准方案。各种印模消毒方法，如化学消毒、微波、高压灭菌、紫外线辐射等，在文献中都有描述，它们各自的优点、缺点以及对印模材料和铸件的影响。最近，抗菌剂和纳米颗粒被加入到印模材料中，使其具有自消毒功能。这不仅可以从内部对印模材料进行消毒，还可以从印模插入患者口腔开始对印模进行消毒。对现有文献进行了广泛的检索，以提供有关不同消毒剂的作用机制，使用浓度以及可用的商业制剂的知识。本文旨在提高口腔卫生工作者对印模消毒的认识，改善其行为。______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 函授:*通讯作者的电子邮件地址:drsatya@doctor.com如何引用这篇文章:老Mantena穆罕默德,Dev KP, Suresh Sajjan MC Ramaraju AV, Bheemalingeswara Rao d .消毒的印象材料:消毒方法的全面审查。国际医学杂志。2019;1(1): 07-16。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.37983/IJDM.2019.1102

Brackets are generally debonded and remaining adhesive is removed at the end of the orthodontic treatment. There are different methods for adhesive removal of which few methods have a chance of damaging enamel and roughen the tooth surface which can lead to plaque accumulation, discolouration, and aesthetic problems. Enamel polishing after debonding is one strategy to decrease such consequences. Severalenamel cleaning and polishing methods include Sof-Lex discs, TC burs, ultrasonic tools, hand instruments,rubbers, composite burs, Arkansas stones, green stones, diamond burs, steel burs and lasers. Each method has some advantages and some lacunae. To be precise soflex discs and TC burs have less damage on enamel than other methods, i.e., Arkansas stone and greenstone. This article is a review of available different enamel cleaning and polishing methods after debonding, their advantages and disadvantages.

Background:Glass Ionomer is a widely used cement in dentistry for luting and restoration purposes. This cement leaches a large amount of fluoride ions leading to an increase in the early solubility and disintegration in the oral fluids. The solubility of the cement is further aggravated when it is exposed to an acidic medium. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the solubility of glass ionomer cement (GIC) in various acidic beverages at different time intervals. Materials and Methods: Four commercially available beverages and distilled water was used as immersion media. The pH of the beverages was measured using a digital pH meter. Glass ionomer cement discs were prepared and immersed in beverages for 1 day, 24 hours and 7 days. After completing the immersion time in each beverage for a specific period, the specimens were retrieved and weighed. The solubility was calculated by subtracting the weight at the specific immersion period from the initial weight of the specimen. Results: Immersion in distilled water demonstrated less solubility compared to immersion in acidic beverages. Amongthe acidic beverages, GIC immersed in MAAZA showed the maximum solubility compared to the other beverages. One-Way ANOVA displayed a significant difference (p=0.000) among the beverages at different time intervals. Conclusions:This study found that the GIC immersed in fruit juices with preservatives showed more solubility at all time intervals compared to the immersion in carbonated drinks.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an innovative treatment modality that utilizes a combination of a photosensitizing agent, specific wavelengths of light, and molecular oxygen to selectively target and destroy abnormal cells or tissues while sparing healthy surrounding structures. This approach has gained significant attention in the medical field due to its potential to provide effective and less invasive treatment options for various conditions. The development of PDT was driven by the need for treatments that overcome the limitations of conventional modalities such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. PDT offers several benefits over these approaches, including its ability to provide targeted therapy, reduced side effects, minimal damage to healthy tissues, and versatility in treating different diseases. One of the key advantages of PDT is its selectivity. By utilizing photosensitizers that accumulate in diseased or abnormal cells, PDT can precisely target the affected tissue while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. This selectivity allows for focused treatment, reducing the potential for unnecessary harm to surrounding structures. Furthermore, PDT offers faster recovery times and potentially better cosmetic outcomes compared to surgery, as it does not require extensive incisions or removal of tissues. Additionally, the localized nature of PDT minimizes systemic toxicity and long-term complications, making it a well-tolerated treatment option. PDT has demonstrated efficacy in various medical fields, including oncology, dermatology, and ophthalmology. It has been used to treat different types of cancers, including skin, lung, oesophagal, and bladder cancer, as well as manage conditions like age-related macular degeneration and certain dermatological disorders. This article reviewed the development, mechanism, and applications of PDT in the medical field
