AbstractMan's need for artificial replacements to supply missing or lost body parts has probably existed as long as man himself. Body abnormalities or defects compromise appearance, function and render an individual incapable of leading a relatively normal life. Extraoral defects involving ear, eye, nose, finger and few others are commonly encountered. Prosthetic restoration of these facial defects is an ancient art, in which success has always been limited due to the unavailability of adequate materials or because the available materials do not fulfil the ideal requirements. The most accepted materials today are the silicones because of their better esthetics.This paper presents prosthetic rehabilitation of the distal phalynx of left index finger with custom-made silicone prosthesis.

ABSTRACT Amputation of a finger will have considerable functional and psychological impact on an individual. Although prosthetic rehabilitation incorporating implants is considered an ideal treatment option, the patient may not give consent due to apprehension toward surgical procedures. The ideal prosthesis should replace the missing part of the finger so precisely that it would not draw the attention of the observer. Fabrication of such a prosthesis will require great technical and artistic expertise. This paper presents a case of prosthetic rehabilitation of an amputated finger using a silicone finger prosthesis. How to cite this article Fernandez T, Harshakumar K, Ravichandran R.

ABSTRACT Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor in which the tumor cells produce cartilage but not bone. The recommended management is wide local or radical excision, followed by surgical and prosthetic reconstruction. This article explains postsurgical prosthetic rehabilitation of a chondrosarcoma patient by means of intraoral acrylic, and extraoral silicone prosthesis for restoration of normal orofacial function and appearance.

Implant-supported prostheses hygiene and peri-implant tissues health are considered to be predictive factors for successful prosthetic rehabilitation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of brushing associated with oral irrigation measured as biofilm-removing capacity, maintenance of healthy oral tissues, and patient satisfaction. A randomized, crossover clinical trial was conducted with 38 patients who wore conventional maxillary complete dentures and mandibular overdentures retained by the O-ring system. The patients were instructed to use the following hygiene methods for 14 days: mechanical brushing [MB (brush and dentifrice - Control)]; and MB with oral irrigation [WP (Waterpik - Experimental)]. Biofilm-removing capacity and maintenance of healthy oral tissues were evaluated by the Modified Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), Probing Depth (PD), and Bleeding on Probing Index (BP) recorded at baseline and after each method. In parallel, patients answered a specific questionnaire using a Visual Analogue Scale after each hygiene method. Data were analyzed by Friedman and Wilcoxon tests (α=0.05). The results showed significantly lower PI, GI, PD, and BP indices after application of the hygiene methods (P<0.001) than those observed at baseline. However, no significant difference was found between MB and WP. The satisfaction questionnaire responses to both methods showed high mean values for all questions, with no statistically significant difference found between the answers given after the use of MB and WP (P>0.05). The findings suggest that WP was effective in reducing PI, GI, PD, and BP indices and provided a high level of patient satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to quantify the existing interrelationship between the anesthetic substances used in the implanto-prosthetic rehabilitation procedures with the general state of the patient, as well as the specific implant rehabilitation work.The analyzed lot brought together 110 patients, candidates for implanto-prosthetic rehabilitation, subjected to a general and local evaluation protocol for choosing general anesthesia in accordance with the general state and complexity of the implanto-prosthetic algorithm. Regarding connection between therapeutic approaches in oral implantation and types of anesthesia , we obtained correlative aspects between the use of inhalosedation and implantation algorithm in 80% clinical cases and augmentation with implantation was found in 20%.General anesthesia with Midazolam has been correlated with implantation and augmentation in 77% clinical cases and sinus lift and implantation was found in 23% clinical cases.General anesthesia with Midazolam was used in 64% clinical cases with implantation and sinus lift and 36% clinical cases with implantation.Careful monitoring of the patient and proper dental surgery where the intervention is performed are the key for a therapeutic success regarding sedation and anesthesia.

Treatment of patients with malignant tumor of oropharyngeal region is a difficult problem due to the last detection of diseases and complex anatomic structure, despite the emergence new and improvement methods of the treatment of cancer of oropharyngeal region. Complex rehabilitation of this patients presents great difficulties due to the disturbance of breath, swallowing, speech, and the lack of a single methodological approach to treatment. It is needs to improve the effectiveness of prosthetic care for patients with malignant tumor of oropharyngeal region.
