Removable partial denture is consists of major connector, minor connector, rest, direct retainer, and indirect retainer. Major connector is the component part of removable partial denture that used to connect with other component part of removable partial denture such as minor connector, rest, indirect retainer. The most common of major connector of mandibular arch are lingual bar and lingual plate. Lingual bar is a half-pear shaped steel rod with thickness at inferior border of bar and flat on
Introduction In this experiment we are examining Streptococcus Mutans and Lactobacillus Acidophilus which are bacteria found in the mouth. The bacteria Streptococcus Mutans have been seen to have negative effects to the mouth such as tooth decay. Lactobacillus Acidophilus on the other side is seen as a good bacteria and has been used as a probiotic. Both of these bacterias grow within the mouth and can be collected through saliva. Our experiment is to compare the difference between two processes
and osseointegrates with the titanium post. Osseointegration refers to the fusion of the implant surface with the surrounding bone. When Are Dental Implants Used? Alternatives to dental implants have historically included dental bridges and dentures. Typically, conventional and cantilever bridges require shaping/grinding of the healthy teeth surrounding a missing tooth. Crowns
Consistent, reliable and practical detection and assessment of dental caries lesions as an effect of dental caries disease has been a challenge for a long time. The caries can be observed on all surfaces of the primary, permanent, and mixed dentitions. Surface lesions can then be calculated according to the type of the teeth (molars, premolars, incisors and canines) or according to the surfaces (proximal, occlusal and free smooth surfaces) (Burt., 1997; Ismail., 2004; Pitts., 2004). The lesions
Before development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth. What are Dental Implants? Culver City Dental ImplantsDental Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures. Not everyone is a candidate for
In 2011, Avi Weisfogel created the innovative medical information program, “Healthy Heart Sleep” and “Owner Unlimited Sleep Patients,” informing medical practitioners and dentists about sleep apnea. To coincide with the initial two programs, Avi Weisfogel established “Dental Sleep Masters,” a program informing dentists the proper use of oral devices when working with sleep apnea patients. Avi believes there is a direct correlation between sleep apnea and dental issues. He is a graduate of Rutgers
Part A: Read "A Wagner Matinee" by Willa Cather to answer the following questions: 1. How would you describe the tone of this story? What in the story makes you say that? This story has a lot of tones. There are parts where he sounds emotional and guilty especially when he remembers that Aunt Georgiana used to help him with his studies and as a kind lady. Now that shes almost unrecognizable wearing "ill-fitting false teeth", he feels guilty for not treating her better. 2. What does the narrator
On the other hand, Richard Steinberg argues that dental implants are not the best restorative material for missing teeth. Richard Steinberg writes, “If a nerve is affected during surgery, it may be temporarily or permanently damaged, causing tingling, numbness, or pain. An affected nerve can cause pain in the mouth, jaw, or other parts of the face” (North River Dental par.4). Richard is insisting that during a dental implant procedure a nerve can be damaged. He claims that anything wrong occurring

Math 421 Essay—Schrodinger’s Equation During this course, we have mostly discussed the wave equation, characterized by the following PDE: 1/c^2 (∂^2 u(x,t))/(∂t^2 )=(∂^2 u(x,t))/(∂x^2 ) We have also looked at the heat equation. Both of these partial differential equations we have looked at with a variety of boundary conditions and initial conditions. However, this essay will focus on a very different equation, giving a brief background on its idea, how it can be applied, and give a solution
TOPIC: Racial Stereotyping and its effect on achieving success among 'black' people. INTRODUCTION For centuries, ever since the first slavers ship landed off the coast of West Africa, the 'black' people as a race have been criticized, discriminated against and deemed inferior to other races, cultures and religions. Considered chattel or property by colonizers, the 'colored' people have been perceived as unsuccessful, underachieving, socially deviant miscreants. This is a racial stereotype developed
Judith Thompson in her analogy of abortion gives a scenario, of someone waking up one morning only to find that they have been plugged into a violinist that has a kidney failure, they are told by doctors that they will have to be plugged into the “famous” violinist for nine months, if they unplug, the violinist dies, if they stay plugged in, the violinist after the nine months recover however that person suffers their right to what happens to their body. The question posed following this analogy
Should You Get Dental Bridges or Partial Dentures? Missing teeth do not only change the way you look and how you feel about yourself; they also cause difficulty in chewing and speaking. Missing teeth can also cause the surrounding teeth to shift and, as a consequence, fall out. This is why it is important to have a dental device to replace these missing teeth, the most common of which are dental bridge and the partial denture. Dental bridges and partial dentures are fundamentally similar because
replacing these teeth involved the use of a removable partial or denture; however, there are more permanent options available today that closely resemble the natural teeth, the dental implant, implant-supported overdentures and fixed dentures. At Lamas Dental Specialists, we eliminate the need for removable dentures and partials with natural-looking, permanent solutions. Types of Dentures Full Removable Dentures and Partial Removable Dentures Full, removable dentures are used to replace all the teeth on
applied highlighting the importance of delaying or eliminating future prosthodontic treatment. In this case study mandibular tooth supported BPS (bio-functional prosthetic system) overdenture and maxillary flexible partial denture was fabricated for the patient. This gives the patient a denture that has more support and retentive principles incorporated, resulting in improved retention. Decrease in rate of resorption of bone hence preservation of alveolar ridge. Overdenture patient possessed preserved
Comparing Dentures: Which is Which? Tooth loss happens due to different reasons: physical injury, tooth decay, congenital absence or a variety of oral health issues. If you are faced with this condition, your dentist would talk to you about the different options you have for tooth replacement, the most common of which are dentures. What are dentures? Dentures are artificially made replacements for natural teeth. They are prepared with a combination of a variety of materials such as porcelain
How Partial Dentures Help Achieve Optimum Oral Health Missing teeth can have a big effect on the quality of life of any individual. Not only will the absence of teeth lead to difficulty in chewing and proper nutrition; it will also affect the way you speak and smile. How Teeth Affect the Quality of Life Beautiful teeth and a healthy smile are found highly attractive, both for men and women. People with attractive teeth are seen as more confident in their social lives, more fruitful in their
in this study, sixty-nine fixed partial dentures, one hundred and forty-two abutment teeth none of them received regular maintenance neither in the university nor in any other institutions. The survival rate of these fixed partial dentures were recorded to be 74% in 15 years, they have concluded their study in that periodontal problem is a major consequence of irregular dental maintenance. It might be more valuable if they had similar numbers of fixed partial dentures under regular maintenance to be
done mandibular posterior region tooth extraction. Out of 100 patients, 35% opted for removable partial denture (RPD) while 48% opted for fixed partial denture (FPD) and only 17% opted for implants to replace the missing tooth. The choice of prosthesis opted by patients varying from each region. In maxillary anterior region, 2% of patients opted for removable partial denture (RPD), 4% opted for fixed partial denture (FPD) while 5% chose implants. Extraction of tooth in maxillary posterior region had
Dental dentures are artificial replacements used for your natural teeth and gums. If an accident, poor dental health, or disease has caused you to have only a few healthy natural teeth or none at all, a dentist or prothodontist will recommend dentures to replace the missing teeth. Dentures are most ideal if you have significant erosion of the gum and jaw line which makes other dental procedures such as crowns and implants less desirable. They also may be used to replace an entire row of teeth rather
