Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

namely:
Prithvi (earth),
Jal (water),
Agni (fire),
Vayu (air) and
Akash (ether) and real self.
9. This indicates the system approach of
Ayurveda i.e. the interaction of different
systems within the body and interaction in
between body and environment. Ayurveda,
being an applied Science and considering the
limitations for printing in ancient time, all the
ancient texts have concentrated mainly on
applied aspects.

advancement of this system.
16. Unani system of medicine is a comprehensive
medical system, which provides preventive,
promotive, curative and rehabilitative health
care.
system is holistic in nature and takes into
account the whole personality of an individual
rather than taking a reductionist approach

17. The basic framework of this system is based on
the Hippocratic theory of four Humours,
according to which any disturbance in the
equilibrium of humours causes disease and
therefore the treatment aims at restoring the
humoral equilibrium.

Naturae (Tabiat Mudabbira-iBadan) is the
supreme power, which controls all the
physiological functions of the body, provides
resistance against diseases and helps in healing

32. Homoeopathy
"Homoeopathy" was introduced as a scientific system
of drug therapeutics by a German Physician, Dr.
Christian Frederick Samuel Hahnemann in 1805
word "homoeo-pathy" (which comes from the Greek:
ὅμοιος hómoios, "-like" and πάθος páthos, "suffering").
Based on this, Hahnemann postulated the key principle
of Homoeopathy, the Law of Similars, logically
evolving it as an experimental science, according to the
method of inductive reasoning after exact observation,
correct interpretation, rational explanation and scientific
construction
33. The Law of Similars
law demonstrates that the selected remedy is able
to produce a range of symptoms in healthy
persons similar to that observed in the patients.
Disease can be cured by medicinal substances
given in extremely small doses that produce
similar symptoms in healthy people. In simple
words, the medicine can cure when given in micro
doses what it can cause in large doses.
34. Drug Proving
it is the process of investigating the
pathogenetic power of drug by administering
the same in to the healthy individuals of
different age and both the sex.
35. to apply drugs for therapeutic use, their curative
powers should be known.
The proving of the drug is the experiment
conducted to know these powers and is unique to
homoeopathy as they are proved on healthy
human beings first, before being applied to the
patients.
The symptoms thus known are the true record of
the curative properties of a drug or the
pathogenesis of a drug. Such symptoms are
recorded and called as Homoeopathic Materia
Medica.
36. Single Remedy
tenet of classical homeopathy states that only one
homeopathic medicine should be prescribed at a time
and directs to choose and administer such a single
remedy, which is most similar to the symptoms of the
sick person.
In homeopathy, the drug proving to ascertaining the
curative property of a drug is done with a single remedy
derived from a single source – primarily plant, mineral
or chemical
Minimum Dose
similar remedy selected for a sick person should be
prescribed in minimum dose, so that when
administered, there is no toxic effect on the body.
37. Drug dynamisation or Potentisation
Drugs are prepared in such a way that they
retain maximum medicinal powers without
producing any toxic action on the body.
1)The toxicity of drug used in crude dosage
have progressively reduced and (2) - increase
the hidden (dynamic) medicinal properties of
the drug.
38. Concept of Vital Force
that the human body is endowed with a force that
reacts against the inimical forces, which produce
disease.
Homeopathy believes that there is an existence of an
essential force in every living organism which maintains
harmony of the functions and also differentiates the
living from the dead.
The vital force determines the state of health in that
living organism, at mental, physical and spiritual levels
