ABSTRACT The facial disfigurement associated with the loss of teeth has greater psychological effect on the patient than the actual loss of teeth. Presented herein, is a novel, precise and accurate technique of performing border molding using transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS). The electronic stimulator is programed to deliver precisely controlled, uniform stimuli transmitted by transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation through fifth and seventh cranial nerves.   Plumping the cheeks by using cheek plumpers attached to the conventional complete denture using magnets was also done. The greatest advantage lies in the fact that they are completely detachable. How to cite this article Bulbule NS, Shah J, Kulkarni S, Kakade D.

Chronic migraine remains disabling for a significant proportion of the population and challenging for medical providers. In addition to pharmacological treatment, peripheral nerve stimulation has been shown to provide satisfactory pain relief and improved quality of life. In this chapter, an illustrative case of occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) for refractory chronic migraine is presented, including the preoperative assessment and planning, decision making process, detailed surgical technique, aftercare and follow-up. A complication and its management are also described and discussed in detail and supplemented with clinical pearls. This discussion is accompanied by a review of the relevant evidence and outcomes from the literature.
