Virtualising Natural Effects in Complete Dentures

Abstract: In rehabilitating complete denture patients, Esthetics have an exemplified part in natural smile. The physical environment of edentulous mouth is in constant and permanent change. Denture esthetics is the effect produced, which improves beauty and appeal for an individual. For this reason, an artistic effort in treating edentulous patient should follow the change and progression. Dentures must be preceded by the changing physical personality traits of a patient as well as physiological age changes in the tissues. This can be achieved by incorporating personnel characteristic features in teeth and denture bases in order to contribute to a Life-Like appearance. Skilful manuveours performed during denture fabrication will allay in improving the appearance, thus enhancing the esthetics. Conventional treatment planning now not only focuses on restoring the teeth but also engineering it to suite the smile and face. Making and managing dentures with precision is what prosthodontist is working on incessantly and for this several dentists has put forward the principles of design, but their application to reality is always a challenge. Hence the purpose of this report is to enlighten the fact and to integrate the minute changes which could be performed in every single denture to personalize them

Effectiveness of 3% hypertonic saline nebulization in acute bronchiolitis among Indian children: A quasi-experimental study

Objective: To compare the effects of 3% hypertonic saline (HS) and 0.9% normal saline with nebulized 0.9% normal saline with salbutamol in patients of acute viral bronchiolitis. Materials and Methods: Participants were divided into three groups, that is, 3% HS group, 0.9% normal saline group and 0.9% saline with salbutamol group. Four doses at interval of 6 h were given daily until discharge. Average CS score and length of hospital stay were compared. One-way analysis of variance paired t-test and Chi-square test were utilized for statistical analysis. Results: The mean ages of the patients in three groups were 6.03 ± 3.71, 5.69 ± 3.34 and 5.48 ± 3.35 respectively. The 3rd day CS scores for all the groups were 1.0 ± 1.1, 1.9 ± 1.1 and 3.3 ± 0.5 respectively (P = 0.000). The average length of hospital stay was 3.4 ± 1.7, 3.7 ± 1.9 and 4.9 ± 1.4 days respectively (P = 0.001). Conclusion: The present study concludes that 3% HS nebulization (without additional bronchodilators) is an effective and safe treatment for nonasthmatic, moderately ill patients of acute bronchiolitis. The economic benefit of this comparably priced modality of treatment can be enormous in terms of hospital costs with parents returning to work sooner
