Temporomandibular disorder refers to a group of disorder that normally affects the stomatognathic system. To understand the nature of the disorder one must understand the anatomy and physiology of the concerned anatomical region first An in depth knowledge of the biomechanics of the system can help one understand the nature of the disorder encompassing the entire system.A decision to treat and how to treat should be based on a detailed clinical history,a careful clinical examination, and centred on conservative, reversible therapies. No treatment can be initiated without a working diagnosis....

Biocompatibility is a complex and rapidly evolving research area that may seem beyond the purview of practicing dentists. The oral cavity is constantly exposed to sensitizing substances that cause allergic reactions and contributes to rise in healthcare expenditures annually. The common allergic reactions in dental staff are allergies to latex, acrylates and formaldehyde. While polymethylmethacrylates and latex trigger delayed hypersensitivity reactions, sodium metabisulphite and nickel cause immediate reactions. For establishing diagnosis, it is essential to obtain proper history related to...

Les implants dentaires sont devenus une modalité thérapeutique importante au cours de la dernière décennie, principalement après les travaux développés par Branemark (1985) dans lesquels le contact direct entre les tissus fonctionnels de l'os et le biomatériau titane a été appelé ostéointégration. Après l'installation d'implants endo-osseux, trois possibilités peuvent se présenter dans les tissus hôtes... Il peut y avoir une formation de tissus vivants et fonctionnels autour des implants, ce qui entraîne une ostéointégration..... ou il peut y avoir une formation de tissus...

Zahnimplantate haben sich in den letzten zehn Jahren zu einer wichtigen therapeutischen Maßnahme entwickelt, vor allem nach den Arbeiten von Branemark (1985), in denen der direkte Kontakt zwischen den funktionellen Knochengeweben und dem Biomaterial Titan als Osseointegration bezeichnet wurde. Nach dem Einsetzen enossaler Implantate gibt es drei Möglichkeiten, die im Wirtsgewebe auftreten können... Es kann sich lebendes und funktionelles Gewebe um die Implantate bilden, was zu einer Osseointegration..... führt, oder es kann sich Bindegewebe um die Implantate bilden, was zu einem Versagen...

Ceramic veneers have demonstrated long-term success and have proven to be one of the most successful treatment modalities of modern dentistry. The few difficulties may be eliminated and circumvented if the dentist pays close attention to every detail of the protocol. The development of new products and materials will bring long-term success, provided that the principles used are based on scientific evidence.

Implant loading protocols play a crucial role in the long-term success and functional outcomes of dental implant treatment. This abstract provides a concise overview of current implant loading protocols, emphasizing their impact on osseointegration, biomechanical stability, and patient satisfaction. The review encompasses a wide range of loading protocols, including immediate, early, and delayed loading, as well as different prosthetic options such as single crowns, fixed partial dentures, and full-arch rehabilitations. By analyzing the existing literature and clinical studies, this abstract...
