ABSTRACT- Initially when dental implants were first introduced their success was assumed to be dependent mostly on the surgical technique and later their placement. However, without a regular program of clinical reevaluation, plaque control, oral hygiene instruction, and reassessment of biomechanical factors, the benefits of treatment often are lost and inflammatory disease in the form of recurrent periodontitis or peri-implantitis may result. Maintenance of the periodontal health is a critical factor in the long-term success of dental implant therapy. This article reviews the goals, types, and appropriate frequency of periodontal maintenance in dental implant therapy, as well as the incidence and etiology of peri-implant disease and strategies for management when recurrent disease develops during the maintenance phase of treatment. Key-words- Dental Implants, Maintenance, Hygiene, Peri-implantitis, Peri-implant mucocitis, Interdental Aids, Chemotherapeutic Aids

Currently, complete dentures are mainly designed and fabricated using conventional methods, which involve a broad series of clinical and laboratory procedures.
Dentists may want to consider using an update of a unique complete denture technique that saves total chair time and, therefore, decreases cost.
It is possible to fabricate a complete denture with different techniques in minimal visit. These techniques has positive benefits saving a lot of time and materials for both the patient and the clinician.
The patient who requires a single denture opposing a natural or restored dentition challenges the clinician even more than the completely edentulous patient does. This is due to the biomechanical differences in the supporting tissues of the opposing arches. So a proper evaluation, correction of the existing factors and proper sequence of denture construction is necessary to give a more stable prosthesis.
Fixed partial dentures transmit forces through the abutments to the periodontium. Failures are due to poor engineering, the use of improper materials, inadequate tooth preparation, and faulty fabrication. Of particular concern to prosthodontist is the selection of teeth for abutments. They must recognize the forces developed by the oral mechanism, and resistance.
Successful selection of abutments for fixed partial dentures requires sensitive diagnostic ability. Thorough knowledge of anatomy, ceramics, the chemistry and physics of dental materials, metallurgy, Periodontics, phonetics, physiology, radiology and the mechanics of oral function is fundamental.
Fixed prosthodontic treatment can offer exceptional satisfaction for both patient and the dentist. Fixed Prosthodontics can transform an unhealthy, unattractive dentition with poor function into a comfortable, healthy occlusion capable of giving years of further service while greatly enhancing esthetics.
Nothing is more important in the construction of fixed partial dentures than an adequate diagnosis and a well-devised treatment plan. Although these two subjects are usually considered together. Astute dentists must recognize their subtle differences. Diagnosis is an evaluation of the condition of the patient when he presents for treatment. Treatment planning concerns the treatment procedures by which the dentist will restore the patient to an optimum state of dental health.
The human mandible can be related to the maxilla in several positions in the horizontal plane. Among these centric relation is a significant position, because of its usefulness in relating the dentulous and edentulous mandible to maxilla, where the teeth , muscles and temporomandibular joint function in harmony. It is a position of occluso-articular harmony.
Muscles of mastication are the group of muscles that help in movement of the mandible as during chewing and speech. We need to study these muscles as they control the opening & closing the mouth & their role in the equilibrium created within the mouth. They also play a role in the configuration of face.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

3. DENTISTRY
Dentistry is an art and a branch of medical science that
deals with the study, diagnosis, prevention, and
treatment of diseases of the teeth, other parts of oral
cavity, maxillofacial area, and the adjacent and
associated structures.
4. DENTAL SPECIALTIES
Currently nine specialties are recognized by the Dental
Council of India:
1. Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics
2. Periodontics
3. Prosthodontics
4. Public Health Dentistry
5. Oral Medicine and Radiology
6. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
7. Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
8. Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
9. Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry
5. PROSTHODONTICS
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty pertaining to the
diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and
maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance
and health of patients with clinical conditions associated
with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and
maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes.
6. DENTAL MATERIALS
The science of dental materials is defined as, The study
of composition, properties, manipulation, chemical
reaction, mechanism of action, indications,
contraindications, and clinical applications of the
materials used in dentistry.
7. Science of dental materials is a basic science which deals with
physical, mechanical and biological properties of dental
materials. The study of Science of dental materials gives the
operator a basic knowledge about the materials. This help to
choose a material and allow him/her to effectively manipulate it.
8. “WHY ARE WE STUDYING THIS SUBJECT?”
1. For the knowledge to make optimal selection of
materials
2. To understand the behavior of the materials, use,
handling and manipulation
3. Safety considerations of the materials
4. Patient education
5. Understand the professional literature
9. IMPORTANCE OF DENTAL MATERIALS SCIENCE
The science of dental materials has two main benefits;
1. Selection of the materials
2. Evaluation of the materials
11. 2. EVALUATION OF THE MATERIALS:
Most manufacturers of dental materials operate an
extensive quality assurance program and the materials
are thoroughly tested before being released to the
general practitioner.
1. Standard specifications
2. Laboratory evaluations
3. Clinical trials
12. 1. STANDARD SPECIFICATION:
To effectively maintain quality levels for dental
materials, basically these standard agencies are
responsible:
American Dental Association (ADA)
Federation Dental Association (FDA)
International Standard Organization(ISO)
13. 2. LABORATORY EVALUATIONS:
Performed initially for testing a new material. It is
carried out outside the human body. This evaluation
may include some animal tests for systemic toxicity.
14. 3. CLINICAL TRIALS:
Manufacturers carryout extensive clinical trials of new
materials in group of peoples, normally in cooperation
with a university or hospital department, prior to
releasing a product for use by practitioners.
15. HOW TO CLASSIFY DENTAL MATERIALS?
Dental materials may be classified as:
A. Preventive dental materials
B. Restorative dental materials
C. Auxiliary dental materials
16. A. PREVENTIVE DENTAL MATERIALS
Preventive dental materials are used to prevent diseases
in the oral cavity. e.g.
Pit and Fissure Sealants
Materials used primarily for their anti-bacterial effects.
Liners, bases, cements and restorative materials that are
used primarily because they release fluoride.
Chlorhexidine or other therapeutic agents used to prevent or
inhibit the progression of tooth decay.
*In some cases, a preventive material may also serve as
a restorative material that may be used for a short-term
application (up to several months), or for longer periods.
17. B. RESTORATIVE DENTAL MATERIALS:
It consists of all synthetic components that can be used to
repair or replace tooth structure, including:
Primers
Bonding agents
Liners
Cement bases
Amalgams
Resin-based composites
Compomers
Hybrid ionomers
Cast metals
Metal-ceramics
Ceramics
Denture polymers
18. *Restorative materials may be used for temporary,
short-term purposes (such as temporary cements and
temporary crown and bridge resins), or for longer term
applications (dentin bonding agents, inlays, onlays,
crowns, removable dentures, fixed bridges, and
orthodontic appliances)
19. Restorative materials may further be classified as direct
restorative materials or indirect restorative materials;
i. Direct restorative materials
Used intra-orally to fabricate restorations or prosthetic
devices directly on the teeth.
ii. Indirect restorative materials
Made extra-orally in which the materials are formed
indirectly on casts or other replicas of the teeth.
20. C. AUXILIARY DENTAL MATERIALS:
Substances that are used in the process of fabricating
dental prostheses and appliances but do not become
part of these devices. These include:
Acid – etch solutions
Impression materials
Casting investments
Gypsum cast and model materials
Dental waxes
Acrylic resins for impression and bleaching trays
Finishing and polishing abrasives
21.
22. SUMMARY
A teamwork of specialized dentists, general dentists,
dental assistants, dental hygienists, and dental
technicians is needed in providing good oral health
services. A bad workman always blames his tools. It is
mandatory that the associated dental personnel have
adequate knowledge of the material science. This not
only enables them to select and handle the appropriate
materials for the given clinical situation, but also
ensures optimal properties of the material.
