ABSTRACT Aim and background In clinical practice, we come across patients with traumatically amputated or congenitally missing partial or complete fingers that can be restored using microsurgical replantation or transplantation procedures. However, in some cases this might not be possible due to systemic or local factors and the lost or missing part has to be replaced prosthetically to offer psychological and functional wellbeing. These prostheses can be constructed with various materials like acrylics or silicone retained with the help of auxiliary aids. However, these prostheses cause some hindrance in performing functions like writing, typing, etc. The aim of the present trial was to ameliorate the existing design of implant supported finger prosthesis. Technique Distal phalange of middle finger replaced with implant supported silicone finger prosthesis is modified by utilizing a metal framework to support silicone material to improve rigidity while working. Conclusion and clinical significance We could achieve a good function, esthetics and tactile sensibility with this modified design. Whenever, feasible this design can improve the performance and patients feel a deep sense of satisfaction and improved self-esteem with this modified prosthesis.

SummaryIntroduction. Dental implant therapy has become a popular method of replacing one or more missing teeth. Osseointegrated dental implants have been studied from histological, microbiologic and biomechanical point of view, but the neurophysiologic integration of the implants and the supported prostheses has received less attention. The sensory mechanism of dental implants is qualitatively different from that of natural teeth. Psychophysiological tests are used to determine the tactile sensibility perceived with the implants and teeth.Aim of the study. The purpose of this study was to compare tactile sensibility of natural teeth and osseointegrated dental implants.Material and methods. Forty-three patients were included in the study. Natural teeth were divided into two groups: non endodontically treated teeth (NETT) and endodontically treated teeth (ETT). Load tests were done by a computer-controlled pressure sensitive device („Power Lab“ Data Acquisition System - model 4/25T, sensor - model MLT003/D; ADInstruments), specially modified for intraoral use. Pushing forces were applied parallel to the vertical axis of teeth and implants. The patient held a signal button which he/she activated as soon as touch was sensed. At this moment the computer registered passive absolute tactile threshold - measured in Newtons. The mean values of passive absolute tactile threshold for natural teeth and dental implants were calculated. Comparison of the mean values was performed by the means of t-test.Results. Passive absolute tactile threshold for osseointegrated dental implants was 2.39 N (SD=1.92), and for teeth - 0.67 N (SD=0.72), for non endodontically treated teeth it was 0.63 N (SD=0.72) and for endodontically treated teeth - 0.73 N (SD=0.69). The differences in mean values were statistically significant (p<0,0001) except for mean values of NETT vs. ETT.Conclusion. This study shows that patients with osseointegrated implants subjectively feel “touch” sensation when greater force is applied compared with natural teeth.

The existence of the Covid-19 pandemic that attacks all parts of the world causes various problems ranging from physical, psychological, spiritual and economic health. Government of Indonesia in order to reduce the number of growth positive Covid-19 then make various kinds of policies. Meanwhile, women due to the Covid-19 pandemic bear a double burden, because of the work from home and school from home policies. Thus, women must be able to allocate their time to take care of the household, accompany their children to study, as well as work. The purpose of women entering the business world is not only about financial problems, but also to follow the intrinsic needs and a sense of satisfaction with the achievements that have been made, especially mompreneurs in Indonesia can be a driving force in the process of empowering women which has a positive impact on the country's economy, especially in helping the family economy. Mompreneur generally start business from small to capitalize skills and capital are limited. Mompreneur is believed to continue to grow from the small business level to become a large business and even be able to compete at the international level. The purpose of the study is to analyze the influence of self-efficacy, self-esteem, the orientation of the market and the orientation of the innovation to the performance of mompreneur through a commitment to entrepreneurship. This research was conducted in the city of Medan on mompreneur with a sample of 255 respondents. Results of the study showed that self-efficacy, self-esteem, the orientation of the market and the orientation of the innovation impact significantly on the performance of mompreneur through a commitment to entrepreneurship. Keywords: Self Esteem, Self Efficacy, Market Orientation, Market Innovation, Performance of Mompreneur, Commitment to Entrepreneurship.

The aim of this article is to present the clinical application of immediate implant placement with L-PRF and immediate prosthetic loading in anterior esthetic region. A 24-year-old healthy female patient reported with a chief complaint of poor esthetics in the upper front tooth region with retained deciduous teeth. On oral examination, there were retained deciduous teeth (52, 53, and 63) with congenitally missing permanent successors. The retained deciduous teeth were extracted, and immediate implant placement was done in the extraction sockets along with L-PRF membranes in one surgical session under local anesthesia. Immediate temporization was performed with composite crowns on immediately placed dental implants. After 3 months of the healing period, the final implant-level impressions were made and the temporary composite crowns were replaced with the final zirconia porcelain crowns. A 12-month follow-up was made, and satisfactory esthetic and functional results were obtained.

Various causes can be responsible for tooth loss. In general, caries, periodontal disease, facial trauma, pathology of the jaws, among other causes, could lead to the loss of a tooth or a group of teeth. As a consequence, the stimuli that participate in bone maintenance are compromised and bone reduction occurs gradually, making it difficult to use conventional prostheses. Fortunately, technological advances applied to dental implantology have allowed us to perform full-arch prosthetic treatments, managing to rehabilitate the form, function, esthetics and lost self-esteem in patients with severe atrophy of the jaws. The objective of this chapter is to describe the key and current aspects in full-arch rehabilitation with dental implants.

Background: Amputations affect both the physical and the psychological aspects of an individual, causing significant impact on self-esteem. The main causes of finger amputations are work-related accidents with dangerous machinery, road traffic accidents, and animal bites, as well as systemic diseases such as diabetes. This report aims to describe a simple technique for fabrication of implant-retained finger prosthesis with a modified base of the retention system. Case Description and Methods: The O-Ring retention system was used with a modified hexagon-shaped base and a metallic capsule adapted to the acrylic resin to attach the prosthesis to the implant. Findings and Outcomes: The prosthesis was made with silicone, and after osseointegration, it was installed without complications, leading to a patient satisfied with the end result and encouraged to return to social life. Clinical relevance Restoring self-esteem in the patient and static and functional rehabilitation.
