RBBs are resin-bonded bridges that are a minimally invasive option for replacing missing teeth. They are suitable for short spans of missing teeth when the patient is unwilling or unsuitable for surgery. Key factors in determining if a tooth can support an RBB include adequate size, minimal restoration, healthy periodontium, and proper angulation. The bridge design depends on factors like coverage, number of abutments, and framework rigidity. With careful case selection and attention to detail, RBBs can successfully replace missing teeth for select patients.
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.

CEPHALOSPORINS (First Genertaion)
Introduction:
First discovered in 1945
A class of Beta Lactam Antibiotics
Are derivatives of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid
They were first isolated from Cephalosporium acremonium (fungus)
Structure:
Are Beta-lactam compounds
In which the beta-lactam ring is fused to a 6-membered dihydrothiazine ring, thus forming the cephem nucleus.
Mechanism of action:
They are Bactericidal agents by cell lysis.
Bind to the Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on the bacterial cell membrane and inhibit cell wall synthesis.
Inhibit Peptidoglycan synthesis by inhibiting the transpeptidation reaction – failure of cross-linking of peptidoglycan.
Mechanism of resistance
Acquired resitance to cephalosporins could be due to:
Alternation of the PBPs (target protiens)
Impermeability to the antibiotic thus preventing it to reach it’s site of action.
Production of Beta lactamases by many bacteria that inactivate the drug.
Resistance developed by penicilinase produced by staphylococci (less than penicillin)
Classification of cephalosporins:
Based on their spectrum of activity, Cephalosporins can be broadly categorized into four generations.
1st Generation (Cefazolin, Cephalexin)
2nd Generation (Cefotetan, Cefoxitin)
3rd Generation (Cefoperazone, Cefixime)
4th Genertaion (Cefepime)
First Generation drugs:
Also called Narrow spectrum Cephalosporins
Include;
ORAL:
CEPHALEXIN
CEFADROXIL
CEPHRADINE
PARENTERAL:
CEFAZOLIN (prototype)
CEPHAPIRIN
Anti-baterial spectrum:
First generation cephalosporins are very active against gram positive cocci which include:
Pneumococci
Streptococci
staphylococci.
Against gram negative bacilli
E. coli
Klebsiella
Proteus
Active against most penicillin-susceptible anaerobes found in the oral cavity,
except those belonging to the Bacteroides fragilis (that are Gram-negative bacillus bacterium species, and an obligate anaerobe of the gut ) group.
Clinical uses:
For dental surgical prophylaxis (Cephalexin and Cefazolin)
Skin and bone infections (Cefazolin)
Pharyngitis
Tonsilitis
Otitis
Pneumonia
UTI
Skin infections
Toxicity:
Diarrhea
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal discomfort
Headache
Fever
Rashes
Pruritis
Urticaria
Serum sickness like reaction
Disturbance in liver enzymes
Transient Hepatitis
Cholestatic jaundice
Eosinaphilia
Blood disorders
Antibiotic associated colitis (rare)

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
