Impression techniques in removable partial denturesAnil Goud
This document discusses various impression techniques for removable partial dentures. It describes different types of impression materials and trays used for anatomic and functional impressions. Key techniques discussed include the fluid wax technique, McLean's occlusal loading technique, Hindle's finger loading technique, and Rapuno's single tray dual impression technique. The objectives of a corrective or functional impression are to record tissues under loading and distribute forces evenly. Selective tissue placement aims to direct forces to areas better able to withstand stresses while protecting more vulnerable areas.
The double cord technique involves placing a small diameter cord in the gingival sulcus first, leaving it in place, and then packing a larger diameter cord over the first cord to provide additional retraction and hemostasis for making impressions of multiple prepared teeth or when the gingival tissues are compromised. The small inner cord provides retraction while the outer cord provides additional hemostasis and tissue displacement needed for accurate impressions.
This document compares and contrasts microabrasion and macroabrasion techniques for treating tooth discoloration. Microabrasion involves using a paste of hydrochloric acid and pumice or silicon carbide to dissolve and abrade the enamel surface. It is a conservative treatment that removes only superficial stains. Macroabrasion uses diamond or carbide burs to remove defects at a faster rate but with less control than microabrasion. Both techniques can improve the appearance of teeth affected by conditions like fluorosis but microabrasion allows for better control and more conservative removal of tooth structure.

Title: Gravitational wave detection with orbital motion of Moon and artificial
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe some recent ideas to find gravitational waves from supermassive black holes or of primordial origin by studying their secular effect on the orbital motion of the Moon or satellites that are laser ranged.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills

Literature review
22. Literature review
In a study by the ADA comparing HVE and a saliva ejector,
results showed the HVE device to reduce up to 90% of particles
reaching the clinician’s breathing space over the saliva ejector
alone .
Through his extensive research, Stephen Harrel concludes that a
standard HVE tip removes 90-98% of aerosols regardless of the
source and proves an effective solution to aerosol containment
and reducing the risks of contamination.

63. Conclusion of this study:
• The mean thickness found for the evaluated cords demonstrated
that the similar sizes assigned by the manufacturers mismatched
the real dimensions
• Only similar thickness was seen for the brands Ultrapack and
Retraflex at size 000 and brands Ultrapack and Retractor at size 0.

65. If a dry field has been achieved
Non Impregnated cord left in
place for a sufficient time
Extreme narrow sulci Wool like cords which can
be flattened for initial
displacement
Given a choice, always choose impregnated cords over plain cords
unless contraindicated
As a rule, the thickest cord that is accepted by the sulcus should be
used
71. Single cord technique
Lightly secure the distal
interproximal area
Proceed to the lingual surface
from mesial to distal
72. Single cord technique
Occasional use of extra
instrument to hold the cord and
packing with other
The cord is gently pressed
apically with the instrument,
directing the tip slightly
towards the root
73. Single cord technique
Excess cord cut off in the mesial
area as closely as possible to the
interproximal area
Pack all but the last 2.0 or 3.0 mm
of cord
74. If the instrument is directed totally in an
apical direction, the cord will rebound
off the gingiva and roll out of the sulcus
75. If cord rebounds from a particularly tight area
of the sulcus
DO NOT TO DO
do not apply greater force maintain gentle force for a longer time
still rebounds
change to a smaller or more pliable cord (ie,
twisted rather than braided)
78. DOUBLE CORD TECHNIQUE
A smaller diameter cord soaked with haemostatic
agent placed into the depth of the sulcus
Causes some lateral tissue displacement but
primarily controls hemorrhage.
The second larger diameter cord is then packed into
the sulcus, causing further lateral tissue
displacement for 8-10 mins
The first deeper placed cord stays in place when the
impression is made, after removal of the top, larger
diameter cord
79. INFUSION TECHNIQUE
Indications – Controls haemorrhage
Fill the syringe with Fe2(SO4)3 solution and
attach the infuser tip
This hollow
metal tip
contains a cotton
filament to help
control flow of
the medicament.
80. INFUSION TECHNIQUE
• Rub the tip back and forth
for approximately 30 secs
over the hemorrhaging
area• Slowly replenish the solution
by continuous injection
81. INFUSION TECHNIQUE
Irrigate the area
with an air-water
syringe and
gently air dry.
Inspect to
determine if
bleeding has
diminished.
Repeat several
times, if
necessary
Retraction cord is
placed in the
conventional
manner

86. Historic background
• Laufer found – minimum sulcular width of 0.2 mm to prevent
distortion of the sulcular impression
• Caustic chemicals like Sulfuric Acid, Tri choloroacetic acid, Negatol
(45%comdensation product of Metacresol Sulfonic acid and
formaldehyde) and Zinc Chloride – undesirable effect on gingiva –
abandonment
• 1980s - 8% racemic epinephrine most commonly used
Shillingburg HT; Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics; 2012; 4th edition ; Quintessence publications; USA; pp:273
88. 1. The pulse rate of patients after application of racemic epinephrine-
impregnated retraction cords depends more on the level of anxiety and stress
than on the level of the epinephrine.
2. Blood pressure is elevated by placement of racemic epinephrine-
impregnated retraction cords upon an exposed vascular bed or lacerated
tissue.
3. 4% racemic epinephrine-impregnated retraction cords cause less elevation of
blood pressure than 8% racemic epinephrine cords.
4. Although the elevations in blood pressure from 8% cord occur within a
narrow range, this range may be hazardous to cardiac patients. Therefore, 4%
racemic epinephrine cord should be used.
5. A desirable amount of tissue retraction is produced by 4% racemic
epinephrine cord.
6. Dry cords do not provide adequate retraction of tissue and are
contraindicated for tissue-retraction purposes.
Pelzner RB, Kempler D, Stark MM, Lum LB, Nicholson RJ, Soelberg KB. Human blood pressure and pulse rate response to racemic epinephrine
retraction cord. J Prosthet Dent. 1978 Mar;39(3):287-92.
94. ROTARY CURETTAGE/GINGETTAGE
Rotary curettage is a "troughing" technique, the purpose of which is to
produce limited removal of epithelial tissue in the sulcus while a chamfer finish
line is being created in tooth structure.
The concept of using rotary curettage was described by Amsterdam in 1954.
developed by Hansing and subsequently enlarged upon by Ingraham.
Suitability of gingiva for the use of this method is determined by three factors:
1. Absence of bleeding upon probing,
1.2. Sulcus depth less than 3.0 mm,
2.3. Presence of adequate keratinized gingiva
95. A shoulder finish line is
prepared at the level of the
gingival crest with a flat-
end tapered diamond
A torpedo diamond of 150 to 180
grit is used to extend the finish
line apically, one-half to two-thirds
the depth of the sulcus, converting
the finish line to a chamfer
Cord impregnated with
aluminum chloride4 or alum is
gently placed to control
hemorrhage
97. ELECTROSURGERY
Passage of a high frequency current
through the tissue from a large electrode
to a small one.
Produces a high current density
Rapid temperature rise at its point of
contact with the tissue.
Induces rapid localized polarity changes
Cell breakdown
The inner epithelial lining of
the gingival sulcus is removed
99. Pressure required for electrosurgery
• The pressure required has been described as the same needed to
draw a line with an ink-dipped brush without bending the bristles
Shillingburg HT; Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics; 2012; 4th edition ; Quintessence publications; USA; pp: 285
102. The Cord positioning force
• There may be inadvertent excessive use of force while tucking the
cord in the sulcus, particularly when the patient is anaesthetized
• A study by Van der Velden and De Vries has shown that the
epithelial attachment sustains injuries at a force of 1 N/mm2 , while
it ruptures at 2.5 N/mm2 .
• The cord technique requires almost 2.5 N/mm2
103.
104. Displacement pastes
• Introduced by Satalec Pierre
Rolland
• Composition
1. Aluminum chloride-15%
astringent & hemostatic
agent
2. Kaolin
3. Excipients
Recommended time of application-1-2 min
105. Paste is directed into the
gingival tissues
Completely injected kept
for 1- 2 mins
Paste is removed with
copious amounts of water
Prepared tooth before
impression is made EXPASYL
106. Advantages Disadvantages
Less traumatic to tissues than
cord packing.
Expensive
Faster than traditional cord. Disposable metal dispenser
tips are too large causes
difficulty to express
Easy removal from sulcus by
rinsing.
Less tissue displacement than
with cord
Dispenser tips can bent-
improves intraoral access
Thickness makes it difficult to
express
107. Magic foam
• Developed by Prof Dr. Dumfahrt
• First expanding vinyl polysiloxane
material designed for retraction
of the gingival sulcus
• Mechanism - Expansion of silicon
foam

• Fluid control and Gingival retraction holds an indispensable place during
soft tissue management before an impression is made.
• A wide variety of options are available for tissue management
• The choice of technique and material for gingival displacement depends
on the operator’s judgment of the clinical situation
• Most practitioners use the chemo mechanical method of gingival
retraction
• However, the cordless retraction is the one which causes least harm to
the periodontium
enhance the operator visibility , accurate reproduction of finish line, increased patient comfort
sub gingival margins, the adjacent tissues must be retract to allow access and to provide adequate thickness of the impression material.
All this should be done without jeopardizing the periodontal health
•Most effective of all isolation devices
Lubricant or petroleum jelly : Usually applied on the undersurface of the dam and it is helpful when the rubber sheet is being applied to the teeth
Dental floss: Used as flossing agent for rubber dam in tight contact areas
Wedjets : Some wedjets are required to support the dam
INDICATIONS OF EACH ONE OF THESE
to hold the rubber dam onto the tooth
Data comparing aerosols present during air abrasion cutting
(a.a.) with and without use of HVE and the added effect of a
ceiling mounted air purifier (Phantom) used on different
settings in an 8x10 foot operatory with an 8-foot ceiling. The
figure shows a 95 percent reduction in aerosols due to use of
HVE alone when adjusted at optimal velocity and positioned
close to the operating site during a.a use
FIND SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS
A JADA research report compared a saliva ejector to ISOLITE ILLUMINATED DENTAL ISOLATION SYSTEM for aerosol and splatter reduction during and after ultrasonic scaling.
Useful for short period of isolation
Alternatives when rubber dam application is
impractical
Retracts cheek & provide absorbency
Commonest and cheap
Preparation in maxillary arch – Block off the parotid duct
In mandibular arch – block sublingual and submandibular ducts.
Anti Ach drugs used in caution with older patients with heart diseases or glaucoma. Glycopyrollate (anticholinergic) is used in adjunctive treatment of peptic ulcers and have dry mouth as its side effect
Retraction is the downward and outward force exerted on the gingival tissues by the retraction technique or material
Displacement is the downward force resulting from excessive pressure during retraction or in unsupported gingival tissues
Relapse is when the gingival tissues rebound to their original position
Collapse is when the gingival tissues are further compressed towards the tooth as a result of using close-fitting trays for impression
placement of subgingival margins and the procedures undertaken to record these margins can damage the delicate gingiva. If the tissues are already compromised, any traumatic retraction method can further damage the tissues
to assess interproximal bone levels and crestal bone height, as well as infra-bony pockets and boss loss.
Check where it is from
These techniques involve:
physically retracting and displacing the soft tissues,
making space for the impression material to reach the subgingival preparation,
providing haemostasis and controlling crevicular fluid
Matrix bands can provide retraction of gingiva and isolation when used for cervical or subgingival restorations
Non surgical method mostly used in restorative dentistry
The use of copper bands can cause incisional injuries of gingival tissues, but recession following their use is minimal, ranging from 0.1 mm in healthy adolescents to 0.3 mm in a general clinic population.
same principle as the copper bands, except that they are pre-shaped
The physical pressure arrests haemorrhage and opens the sulcus
Schultz, CLAMPS -
Similar to 212 series but split into half faciolingually.
Produced retraction by compression
Plain cord provides mechanical retraction & chemically impregnated retraction cord is a CHEMO MECHANICAL method of displacement
What are the uses of each ones of these types? Which ones are better
To evaluate the real thickness of the cords of different manufacturers.
So giving indications size wise is not justifiable.
Knitted and braided are better than twisted cords.
So apart from the cord, we also need:
Piece of (5cm 2 inches) is cut off
Hold between thumb n fore finger. Braided or knitted no need to twist. Twisted or wound cord – twisting reduces diameter
Do not touch the cord anywhere except the ends with gloves. (cut in the end) – not just infection control indirect inhibition of polymerisation of polyvinyl siloxane by latex
U shaped loop – hold between thumb n index finger with slight apical pressure.
to hold the cord in position while its being placed
Tip of the instrument towards toe already placed area i.e. mesial to prevent pulling out of the already placed cord
Its slid gingivally until the finish line is felt.
Continue packing the cord around the facial surface, overlapping the cord in the mesial interproximal area. The overlap must always occur in the proximal area, where the bulk of tissue will tolerate the extra bulk of cord other wise a gap apical to the overlap. This tag is left protruding so that it can be grasped for easy removal.
Tissue retraction should be done firmly but gently, so that the cord will rest at the finish line.
After 10 minutes, remove the cord slowly to avoid bleeding - shillinburg
Tissue would collapse with the use of only a single cord
Do not dry the cords – or else they will adhere to the tissues and cause hemorrhage
The ferric sulfate medicament is available in two concentrations, 15% and 20% the 20% material being less acidic because of the presence of binders and coating agents and causing less removal of the smear layer from dentine
Burnishinig motion.
Three ideal requirements – effectiveness in gingival displacement and hemotasis
Absence of irreversible damage to the gingiva
Minimal systemic side effects
Epinephrine syndrome – Tachycardia, rapid respiration, elevated blood pressure, anxiety, post operative depression.
Rotary curettage, however, must be done only on healthy, inflammation-free tissue to avoid the tissue shrinkage that occurs when diseased tissue heals. inserting a periodontal probe into the sulcus. If the segment of the probe in the sulcus cannot be seen, there is sufficient keratinized tissue to employ rotary curettage
A generous water spray is used while preparing the finish line and curetting the adjacent gingiva
1 to 4 million Hz [1 Hz = 1 cycle/second)
Cutting electrode and passive electrode have same current but due to difference in the size – current density is different
The current concentrates at points and sharp bends. Cutting electrodes are designed to take advantage of this property so they will have maximum effectiveness. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ELECTRO SURGERY AND ELECTRO CAUTERY.
Also, the electrode should move at a speed of no less than 7 mm/sec while retracing the path of a previous cut, 8 to 10 seconds should be allowed to elapse before repeating the stroke. minimize the buildup of lateral heat that could disrupt normal healing.
Verify the anaesthesia place a drop of a pleasant-smelling aromatic oil. The odour from it will help to mask.
First set the current acc to manufacturer's recommendations. If the tissue clings to the electrode tip – low current setting
If the tissue is charred/ sparks are seen / discoloured – setting is high
can lead to haemorrhage and damage to the sulcular and junctional epithelium. can lead to gingival recession later, due to disruption in blood supply and damage to the periodontal attachment fibres
It has both mechanical and chemical action
Aluminum chloride provides- hemostasis
Viscosity of Kaolin- retracts the tissue
interference in polymerization of poly vinyl siloxane materials – so clean thoroughly
Improved displacement – if paste is directed into the sulcus by applying pressure with a hollow cotton roll.
Pt closes om the cotton roll maintaining pressure for 5 minutes
Similar to magic foam except – astringent and not an expander
Gingicaps are provided by the manufacterer
Overuse causes shrinkage of tissue and also results in exposure of crown margin
