The combination of 2 three point articulators was done to visualize and appreciate the various teeth setting principles and anatomical landmarks both in occlusion and out of occlusion. In other words this technique would give a simultaneous image of the various teeth arrangement principles at a glance. The various teeth arrangement principles highlighted in this article would be the following: individual tooth arrangement principles of anterior and posterior teeth, arch form, midline, incisive papilla, retromolar pad, overjet and overbite.
The high infectivity rate of the COVID-19 virus and its variations has had a significant influence on dentists and dental treatment. Because of the proximity of the patient and the prevalence of aerosol-generating procedures, governments and health authorities have implemented rules and regulations for practising dentistry, specifically aerosol-generating procedures in prosthodontics, to protect dentists and patients from infection, cross-infection, and re-infection. The current article focused on the World Health Organization's (WHO) and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare's (MOHFW) recommendations and guidelines for practicing prosthodontics and dental implant operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Systemic sclerosis patients have restricted mouth opening along with narrowing of the oral aperture.

This case report deliberates the difficulties in rehabilitating the partial edentulous state of an early diagnosed patient with systemic sclerosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
