Methodology: The Randomized controlled trial was done in the Department of Prosthodontics, FMH College of Medicine and Dentistry Lahore and Pakistan Council for Science and Industrial Research Lahore. All impression samples which fall under the inclusion criteria in the Department of Prosthodontics, FMH College of Medicine and Dentistry Lahore and Pakistan Council for Science and Industrial Research Lahore were included. Samples were divided into two groups, i.e., Group 1 (single-step technique) & Group 2 (two-step technique). The impression's longitudinal length and inter-line distance were measured to assess the outcome i-e linear dimensional accuracy. Result: A total of 60 impression samples with polyvinyl siloxane impressions material were made. The linear dimensional accuracy in one step & two-step impression techn...

Precise working length determination is the most important part for successful root canal procedure. The most commonly used methods to determine the working length in root canal treatment are radiography and electronic apex locator. METHODOLOGY: A cross sectional study was done over a period of 06 months in the Department of Operative Dentistry, Fatima Memorial Hospital, Lahore. Sixty patients who were recommended extraction of their premolar teeth with sixty canals were selected by convenience sampling. The Root ZX* apex locator was used to determine electronic working length exactly identifying the apical constriction. Reference points were identified and radiographic working length were determined 1mm short of radiographic apex. The teeth were extracted along with file cemented before extraction insi...

Methods: 152 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in the study through consecutive non probability sampling. Photographs of their face and maxillary central incisor were taken, printed, traced and subjected to classification by William’s method by 4 Prosthodontists. Results: As per descriptive statistics, mean and SD’s for age was 31+5.78, mean and SD’s for face form measurements was recorded as 78+1.67, whereas mean and SD’s for central incisor tooth form measurements was recorded as 25+0.69 Conclusion: It has been concluded that there is no highly defined correlation between the face form and maxillary central incisor tooth form in males and females. These results indicate that the maxillary central incisor tooth shows considerable asymmetry, whereas the face is basically symmetric. Instead, the opinions...

Such patients are difficult to manage by most of the dentists. Thus, one of challenging skills during the treatment procedure is the management of the gag reflex. The purpose of this study is to introduce a simpler and a convenient chair side method to manage these patients, i.e. by using lignocaine local anesthetic solution cartridges, which are readily available in the clinics for attainment local anesthesia and block administration. Methods: Total of 80 patients were selected, and divided into two groups of 40 each. Alginate impressions were made for both of the groups. In group A, one cartridge of lignocaine solution was incorporated and in the group B two cartridges were incorporated in the material. Results: In group A, 21 (52.5%) moderate and 19 (47.5%) severe gag patients and in Group B, 16 (40%) moderate and 24 (60%) severe gag patients didn't show any gag reflex when the lignocaine was mixed with alginate impression material. Conclusion: Little modification in the impression material can give better results, making patient more comfortable during the impression procedure.

This procedure is one of the key parameters to be established during the planning of oral rehabilitation; and any error in its recording can affect the prosthodontics treatment severely, and ultimately can lead to disastrous situation.

METHODOLOGY: The study was cross-sectional. A total of 250 patients were taken in the study. The vertical dimension of occlusion was recorded between two points, one on the base of nasal septum and the other on the lower border of chin. Then the length of index finger was measured with digital Vernier caliper.

RESULTS: Vertical dimension of occlusion is significantly correlated with the index finger. The correlation of VDO with index finger in males and females was significant (r= 0.74 and r= 0.82 respectively, p=0.000).

CONCLUSION: Index finger measurement was found to be almost equal to the vertical dimension of occlusion, and may be useful in the determination of VDO.

Gagging is most commonly experienced during maxillary impression making, which may affect the clinical management of the patient. Different techniques have been described to alleviate this problem. One of them is mixing lignocaine local anesthetic solution in irreversible hydrocolloid impression material before making the impression. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of lignocaine addition in irreversible hydrocolloid impression on the properties of irreversible hydrocolloid impression materials. METHODS Irreversible hydrocolloid was mixed with water (Control group) or water and adrenalin (Lidocaine hydrochloride) (Experimental group). Compressive strength, tear strength and setting time were measured according to ISO1567 and ANSI/ADA specifications 18. The structural analysis of both groups was also evaluated by Fourier ...
