Anuraag Sharma, Manoj Shetty, Chethan Hegde, N. Sridhar Shetty, D. Krishna Prasad
To evaluate dimensional accuracy and tensile strength of a type IV gypsum
product, at different time intervals, dried in air or a microwave oven. Eighty
specimens prepared from a cylindrical mould were used for measuring tensile
strength (group A). Twenty specimens from a master die mould were used for
determining dimensional accuracy (group B). In group A, 40 specimens were dried

Dental students using conventional chairs need immediate change in their
posture. Implementing an ergonomic posture is necessary as they are at high risk
for developing musculoskeletal disorders. This study recommends the use of an
ergonomic seat and magnification system to enhance the visibility and the
posture of an operator. The aim of this study is to make a foray into the
hazards caused by in... hiện toàn bộ

Seema Pattanaik, Bikash Pattanaik
Characterization of an artificial denture is required to give the denture a more
natural appearance. This article describes the laboratory procedures for
internal characterization of denture base in a removable prosthesis using
acrylic stains and absorbent tissue paper incorporated in the heat cure
polymerizing denture base resin at the stage of packing.
Craniofacial Prosthetic Reconstruction Using Polymethyl Methacrylate Implant: A Case ReportMedknow - Tập 14 - Trang 303-307 - 2014
Paul Simon, Jayashree Mohan, Sunantha Selvaraj, B. S. Saravanan, Parikodaiarasan Pari
Large cranial defects of complex geometric shapes are challenging to
reconstruct. The cranial implants has to be fabricated prior to the
cranioplastic surgery. The ideal material for cranial implant has to be inert,
light weight, easy to fit and adaptable to the defect, offering the best
aesthetic and functional results. Here is a clinical case report of a patient
who was operated for osteomyeliti... hiện toàn bộ
