The resulting deformity often leads to a difficult path of recovery with lifelong consequences, causing both physical disability and mental distress. The aim of maxillofacial prosthesis should be to restore the normal physiological function in these patients, various prosthesis used in the management of these defects. However, the knowledge amongst the various dental and medical practitioners about the same has been at sparse. This survey helps to evaluate the knowledge among different practitioners.

Materials and Methods: Occlusal surfaces of 96 noncarious primary teeth were ground perpendicular to long axis of the tooth. Preparations were distributed into three groups consisting of Fuji IX GP, Fuji II LC and Compoglass. Specimens were tested for tensile bond strength by mounting them on Instron Universal Testing Machine. Ninety-six primary molars were treated with Fuji IX GP, Fuji II LC, and compoglass on box-only prepared proximal surface. Samples were thermocycled, stained with dye, sectioned, and scored for microleakage under stereomicroscope. ANOVA and Bonferrani correction test were done for comparisons. Pearson Chi-square test and regression analysis were done to assess the association between the parameters. Results: Compoglass showed highest tensile strength and Fuji II LC showed least microleakage. There was a significant difference between the three groups in tensile strength and microleakage levels. The correlation between tensile strength and microleakage level in each group showed that there was a significant negative correlation only in Group 3. Conclusion: Fuji II LC and compoglass can be advocated in primary teeth because of their superior physical properties when compared with Fuji IX GP.

These villagers are impoverished of good oral health care due to the lack of qualified doctors. This survey was conducted to analyse attitude of dental students towards rural dental practice and factors ceasing them from doing so. Aim: To assess the attitude of dental students towards rural practice. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the interns and postgraduate of dental colleges of Madhya Pradesh. The questionaire comprised of 21 questions. Statistical analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics in SPSS software, version 20.0. Chi-square test and unpaired t-test was used. Result: In this survey total 722 students participated. Out of which 82% students would like to work in rural areas after completion of their graduation, 87% agreed that rural dental practice has a high level of autonomy associated with responsibility & multitasking. 84.8% people will choose rural practice because they want...
