Though, because the implementation of nanomaterials in prosthodontic s has tremendously improved several properties like modulus of elasticity, hardness of surface, polymerization shrinkage as well as loading property. Several nanocomposites made up of traditional metals or ceramics or resin etc. are now used extensively in prosthodontics. Most recent developments, technologies and advancements in terms of biomaterials and nanomaterials used in prosthodontics have been covered explicitly in this literature review. This review not only provides an extensive overview of the most recent pertinent discoveries, but it should also serve as a major impetus for additional study in terms of this topic. In prosthodontics, both biomaterials as well as nanomaterials have shown to be essential to the advancement of both fundamental research and operational technology. It illustrates how the numerous characteristics of prosthodontic materials, such as modulus of elastic modulus, the level of hardness of surface, shrinkage from polymerization, and filler loading, can all be significantly improved following the use of nanotechnology to reduce their scales from micrometer to nanometer size.

Correlation Between Teeth Wear And Oral Health Related Quality Of Life Among Adult Patients

 Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, grade: A, Teerthanker Mahaveer University (Teerthanker Mahaveer University), course: MDS, language: English, abstract: It is important to understand how a very common prevalent condition of tooth wear (TW) impacts a person's day-to-day oral health. An emerging concept of measuring the parameter of oral healthrelated quality of life (OHRQoL), which evidently impacts the daily living of a person, makes it practical to examine the correlation between TW and OHRQoL. For measuring the OHRQoL, we can apply various methods, and the most effective is the use of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) questionnaire. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to assess the correlation between TW and the OHRQoL among adult patients attending a dental college and hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional research was performed on patients who visited the outpatient department of Teerthanker Mahaveer Dental College and Research Centre, Moradabad, India. Initially, the sociodemographic details of patients, including their oral hygiene and dietary habits, were recorded. This step was followed by the assessment of TW using the Smith and Knight TW index. Then, the translated version of the OHIP questionnaire was filled up, in which the patients were asked to rate each question on a Likert scale, with five points ranging from 0 to 4, where 0 = never, 1 = hardly ever, 2 =occasionally, 3 = fairly often, and 4 = very often.

 Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2022 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, grade: 8, , course: Post graduation, language: English, abstract: Pulp space is complex, root canals may divide and rejoin. In the simplest form each root with one canal and single apical foramen is not observed always, other canal configurations are present which exit the root with two, three or more foramen. Several classifications have been proposed to describe root canal configurations for communication. With the advent of three dimensional imaging technique researchers are reporting newer configurations. Hence, newer classifications are proposed by each researcher. It is difficult to retain all classifications.Secondly, these newer classification are not the continuation of previous ones. Also, similar terminology has been used by different researchers for different configurations. Hence, in this paper instead of grouping root canal configurations into types, nomenclature system is proposed to identify eachconfiguration individually.

Prosthetic Teeth Arrangement And Dental Arch Dimensions For Edentulous Patients In Saudi-Arabia

by Mohammad Aljanakh e Pavan Kumar Koralakunte

42,27€ + 10% CARD

 Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, , language: English, abstract: The study delves into the intricate world of dental arch forms and dimensions within the Saudi population, shedding light on the diverse characteristics that shape the oral landscape of both men and women. The research employs a descriptive cross-sectional survey, utilizing alginate impressions and a standardized methodology to capture the nuances of maxillary and mandibular arches in 100 dentate subjects. With a keen focus on arch forms and dimensions, the paper aims to unravel the predominant patterns within the Saudi population. The findings reveal intriguing details, such as the prevalence of square arches in males and a mix of ovoid and square arches in females for the maxillary dental arch. On the mandibular front, square arches take the lead in both genders. The gender lens further highlights significant differences in arch dimensions, with males exhibiting increased measurements compared to females. However, exceptions exist in maxillary anterior and molar arch lengths. Statistical analyses, including Chi-Square test, Student 't' test, and Pearson's correlation test, contribute rigor to the exploration. As the narrative unfolds, the paper not only provides a panoramic view of arch forms but also underscores their clinical implications. The absence of significant gender differences in arch forms prompts considerations for prosthetic rehabilitation among Saudi edentulous patients. The determined arch dimensions emerge as valuable tools in the selection of accurate stock impression trays and the precise arrangement of artificial teeth.

Independent Private Dental Practice Vs Dental Chains

by Ulrich Schmitz

34,26€ + 10% CARD

 Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, grade: 68, Manchester Metropolitan University Business School, language: English, abstract: This study casts light upon the future development of dental professional practice in Germany. Young dentists - members of Generation Y & Z - enter the market and look for work models which fit into their lifestyle. An analysis and evaluation of popular structures following current market trends explores four different business models for the operation of dental practices and work of dentists. As a central part of the research, the patient's view on the topic is introduced. Emphasis is placed on insights into patients' ideas and opinions about those models and to see whether a business model may influence the choice of a new dentist. To explore the way to a decision, a patient may take, Kotler s 5-Stage Model of the Consumer Buying Process is adapted to the needs of this study. The 5th stage has not been included because it deals with the situation after a decision has been taken. At the same time, the link between consumer and patient is discussed. Guided by that model, a survey with patients of a German dental practice is conducted. A concurrent triangulation method design, consisting of a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, is chosen for data collection. The questionnaire has contained questions on decision making following Kotler's model and additional questions on different providers of dental care. Over a period of eight working days, 61 questionnaires have been submitted, and four interviews have been conducted. The statistical evaluation has revealed results that are mainly consistent with the existing literature. Even today, personal recommendations from friends and family are the most important sources of information. Accessibility and technical equipment have been identified to be crucial features of a dental practice. However, the most critical characteristics recognised have been care by a consistent dentist and personal contact with the administration . Furthermore, it has been discovered that franchise models and dental chains are not considered in the choice of a practice.
