Neurodegenerative disorders are commonly seen in elderly individuals. Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common example with memory loss, lack of logic, reasoning and analytical thinking. In this case report simple method of 2D Bar code technique of denture marking has been explained which will not only useful in patients with memory loss but it is very helpful in identifying the individuals in case of natural calamities like floods, earthquake, tornedo, state of unconsciousness and accidents. Such patients can be traced easily by denture barcoding. This technique is a major breakthrough in the field of forensic dentistry.
Introduction: Rehabilitation of patients with flabby ridges poses a great amount of difficulty for a prosthodontist. As the flabby tissues easily gets distorted while impression making, the dentures fabricated on such foundations are often compromised in its retention and stability. Case report: Liquid supported denture fabricated using modified window impression technique in this case uses mucostatic impression technique where flabby tissue is located and the denture base is covered with a preshaped, closed fitting flexible PVC sheet which help in continued adaptation of the denture to the mucosa in the resting and functional states. Conclusion: Liquid supported denture fabricated using modified window impression technique can stand a better option in case of flabby ridges while considering conventional prosthodontics. This concept can further improve the patient's comfort and acceptance because of uniform distribution of masticatory forces.
Patient with excessive bulky maxillary ridges often has a compromised facial esthetics. The thickness of the labial flange further compromises the labial fullness and result in an unesthetic maxillary denture. To confront such perplexity, an unconventional approach is required for the fabrication of complete denture. This case report portrays a simple, economical, conservative and non-surgical treatment choice for fabrication of denture in a patient with a bulky maxillary ridge to enhance the facial aesthetics of the patient.
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.
