The document discusses soft tissue management and fluid control during fixed prosthodontic procedures. It covers saliva control methods like rubber dams, high-volume evacuation, cotton rolls, and anti-sialagogues. It also discusses gingival tissue displacement techniques like copper bands filled with impression material, displacement pastes, temporary restorations, and retraction cords. Retraction cords are classified based on configuration, surface finish, chemical treatment, number of strands, and thickness. Proper soft tissue management and fluid control are critical for making accurate impressions of prepared teeth during fixed prosthodontic treatments.
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.

Teeth don’t possess regenerative ability found in most other tissues. Therefore, once enamel & dentin are lost as a result of caries, trauma or wear, restorative material must be used, to reestablish form & function.
Teeth require preparation to receive restoration & these preparations must be based on fundamental principles, which are discussed in this presentation, from which basic criteria can be developed to help predict the success of prosthodontic treatment.
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.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
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.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

This includes all relevant anatomy and clinical tests compiled from standard textbooks, Campbell,netter etc..It is comprehensive and best suited for orthopaedicians and orthopaedic residents.
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

The Complexities of the Oral environment certainly present obstacles to physical
diagnosis and mechanical treatment of dental and oral tissues as the patient is usually conscious during
dental operations.
The Co-operative efforts of the dentist, assistant and the patient are required to control
that field and allow necessary treatment with the least trauma to involved and also surrounding tissues.
The rationale for tissue management is a critical step of impression making whether the
impression is made with a conventional impression material or by a digital impression technique so
that all tooth preparation margins are captured in the impression assure an excellent marginal fit of a
laboratory fabricated restoration (Strassler 2011).

8. 1. RUBBER DAM
• Most effective of all isolation methods,
• The area where only supragingival margins are present,
INDICATION :
• Inlays, Onlays, Post and core preparations, Pattern fabrication
and
cementation
• Finish line is not far sub-gingival

Stephen Rosenstiel. Contemporary Fixed Prosthodontics First South Asia Edition. Elsevier India 2016.pp 367-98.
9. 2. EVACUATION MECHANISM AND EQUIPMENT
A. HIGH – VOLUME VACUUM SUCTION TIPS
• Powerful suction device, use of 10 mm diameter
HVE tips and a properly functioning suction tip
evacuates one litre of fluid per minute
• Useful in preparation phase
• Acts as excellent lip retractor while operator uses a
mirror to retract and protect the tongue

Shillingburg HT, Hobo S, Whitsett LD, Jacobi R, Bracket SE. Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics.3rd ed. Chicago: Quintessence; 1997.pp 257-304
10. B. SALIVA EJECTOR
• Adjunct to high volume evacuation, low volume suction devices
• 300 ml/minute is the suction rate
• Placed where saliva pools
• Effective for maxillary arch along with cotton rolls
• Tongue control and fluid removal less than ideal
10
Shillingburg HT, Hobo S, Whitsett LD, Jacobi R, Bracket SE. Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics.3rd ed. Chicago: Quintessence; 1997.pp 257-304
11. SVEDOPTER (flange type evacuator)
• Metal saliva ejector with attached tongue deflector
• Anterior part should be placed in incisor region with
tubing under the patient’s arm
• Patient in nearly upright position
• For Mandibular arch with or without cotton rolls
11
Shillingburg HT, Hobo S, Whitsett LD, Jacobi R, Bracket SE. Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics.3rd ed. Chicago: Quintessence; 1997.pp 257-304
12. DRAWBACKS:
1. Access to lingual surface of mandibular teeth is
limited.
2. Because the device is made of metal, care must be
exercised to avoid bruising the tender tissue in the
floor of the mouth by the overzealously clinching
down the clamp .
3. Presence of mandibular tori usually precludes its
use.
4. Selection of oversized reflector should be avoided,
since it could cut into palate above or trigger the gag
reflex and in that case the medium size seen to work
best in most of mouth.

Shillingburg HT, Hobo S, Whitsett LD, Jacobi R, Bracket SE. Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics.3rd ed. Chicago: Quintessence; 1997.pp 257-304
13. ISOLITE
Isolite system is a minimally invasive, easy-to-use alternative to traditional forms of
isolation.
Achieve better visibility and moisture control, improve efficiency and clinical results,
while ensuring patient safety and comfort
13
14. FAST DAM by INDIGREEN innovations
• 17 suction holes along the perimeter to aspirate
continuously.
• Smooth rigid plastic construction will not
collapse.
• Molded anatomical shape stabilizes position and
frees hands by eliminating the need to hold
evacuation instruments.
• Fit into all standard saliva ejector valves and will
not aspirate soft tissues.
14
15. DRYSHIELD
• DryShield all-in-one isolation system combines high-
suction evacuation with a bite block, tongue shield,
and oral pathway protector.
• Autoclavable, and the mouth piece is made of a soft
and flexible material that fits comfortably in the
patient’s mouth.
• Easy to attach to a practice’s existing HVE, with no
special equipment.
• Portable

COTTON ROLLS:
Absorbent cotton rolls are placed in area where saliva pools (in
maxillary arch a single cotton roll is used in buccal vestibule and
in mandibular arch in lingual sulcus).
MAXILLARY ARCH :
Single cotton roll in vestibule immediately buccal to preparation
and saliva evacuator placed in opposing lingual sulcus
In 2nd and 3rd molar region :
multiple cotton rolls placed immediately buccal to preparation
and
slightly anterior to block off parotid duct.
MANDIBULAR ARCH :
Cotton roll placed to block salivary glands
Stephen Rosenstiel. Contemporary Fixed Prosthodontics First South Asia Edition. Elsevier India 2016.pp 367-98.
3. FLUID ABSORBING MECHANISM AND MATERIALS
20. MOISTURE ABSORBING CORDS
• Consist of pressed paper wafers covered on
one side with a reflective foil.
• The wafer side is placed facing the tissues
and adhere to it and is used along with cotton
rolls to control saliva and retract cheek
laterally.
• Keeps parotid gland in check for 15 minute
• Absorbs more moisture compared to cotton
rolls

Not indicated for lengthy procedure
22
23. C 3. LOCAL ANAESTHETICS
• In addition to pain control normally needed during tissue displacement help
considerably with saliva control during impression making.
• Nerve impulse from periodontal ligament form part of the mechanism that regulates
salivary flow.
• When these are blocked by anesthetics saliva production is considerably reduced
23Tripathi. Textbook of pharmacology 2008).
25. DEFINITION
• Gingival Retraction is the deflection of the marginal gingiva
away from a tooth.
Or
• Gingival retraction is a process of exposing margins when
making impression of prepared teeth.
25
26. Features necessarily present in Gingiva
1. Crest of free gingiva at its normal healthy position relative to tooth structure with no
recession nor any hyperplasia
2. Crevicular fluids and bleeding should be arrested
3. A temporary trough in gingiva should be created :
• devoid of any fluid
• Readily accessible
• Exposes all details of circumferential tie as well as portion of unprepared
tooth surface
4. These objectives should not cause irreversible damage to free gingiva, walls of
gingival sulcus or any part of periodontium
5. Should not cause damage to distant organs para-orally or systemically.

• Ulceration, local necrosis changes in the size and location of free gingiva
These chemicals are carried to the field of operation in 2 ways :
• Cords
• Drawn cotton rolls
41
42. A. CORDS
• Retraction cords Are supplied in three basic designs, twisted cords, knitted cords and
braided cords.
• Pushed into the sulcus Mechanically stretches the circumferential PDL
• Braided (Gingibraid) or Knitted (Ultrapak) cords
• Larger sizes double up trauma to sulcular tissue
• For narrow sulcus smaller sizes of braided cords/wool like cords that can be
flattened
• Smear layer is removed exposure of dentinal tubule post operative sensitivity
dentinal tubule sealing becomes necessary
42
43. Classification of retraction cords

44. RULES TO PLACE THEM :
• Exact length is precut ( excess displaces already packed portion)
• Start packing at one end, be sure that it is stable in place
• Ends of the cord at axial angles of tooth ( maximum height of
interdental col creates better gripping and stabilization)
• Packing instrument blunt, definite corners, preferably with
serrations, different sizes
• Steady static load directed apically and angulated towards the
tooth
• Removal of material done in a hydrous field

46. STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE
46
Retraction cord drawn
from bottle
Twisting of retraction cord
Looping of gingival cord
48. 48
Occasional use of extra
instrument to hold
the cord and packing with
other
Instrument must be angled
towards
the root > facilitate sub-
gingival placement of cord
Excess cord cut off in the mesial
area
49. 49
Placement of distal end till it s overlapping
the mesial part of cord
Cord is removed after 10 min to avoid bleeding
Sulcus should be clean and dry with no bleeding to make impression
50. Double cord technique ( Adams-1981)
• Routinely used when making impressions of
Multiple prepared teeth
Compromised tissue health & impossible to delay the procedure
• Some clinicians use this technique routinely for all impressions
50
51. Technique
• A small-diameter cord is placed in the sulcus
• Ends of this cord is cut, so that they exactly abut against one another
in the sulcus
• 1 mm of intact tooth structure remains between top of the cord and
preparation margin
• Second cord soaked in the haemostatic agent is placed in sulcus
above the small diameter cord.
(diameter of the second cord should be the largest diameter that can
be
readily placed in to the sulcus.)
• Second cord removed after 8-10 minutes
• First cord is left in place during impression making
• No excess pressure on tissues epithelial damage
51
52. EVALUATION
When looked from occlusal aspect
• Preparation margin circumferentially should be visible
• Uninterrupted cord in contact with the tooth
• No soft tissue fold over the cord
• If the sulcus enlargement is not favourable, assessment of tissue health
becomes necessary
52

53. Haemorrhage control
• Achieved by
1) Astringent
2) Local Anaesthetic
• Haemorrhage control with infusor syringe :
53
Hollow metal tip has
cotton filament to control
the flow of medicament
Tip is rubbed back and forth
over the haemorrhaging area
(wipe off excess coagulum)for
30 secs. Ferrous sulphate is
released
Solution usually will puddle
in sulcus when haemostasis is
complete
Once bleeding stops, area is
cleaned with water spray and
dried
Cord is placed in the
conventional manner
before impression making
54. B. DRAWN COTTON ROLLS
• Soft loose cotton rolled to desired diameter
• Introduced into the sulcus already impregnated with chemical
ADVANTAGE :
- easily compacted in sulcus than cords because of looseness
- can accommodate more chemicals than cords efficient in widening
trough and
generates more shrinkage of free gingiva
DISADVANTAGE :
- during its removal, coagulated sealing membrane may be peeled off
54
55. 3. ELECTRO-SURGERY
• Also known as SURGICAL DIATHERMY
• Credit for being the direct progenitor of electrosurgery- d’Arsonval(1891)
• Electrosurgery denotes surgical reduction of sulcular epithelium using an
electrode to produce gingival retraction
55
Unmodulated
alternating current
of 1-4 million hz
From large to
small electrode
Rapid
localized
polarity
changes
cell damage
56. Indications :
1) When cord alone may not be feasible/ desirable to manage the gingiva
2) Removal of irritated tissues that has proliferated over preparation finish line
3) Enlargement of gingival sulcus & control of haemorrhage to facilitate
impression making
4) Permanently modify the architecture of free gingiva that is to shorten it/
widen the crevice
56
57. ELECTROSURGERY UNIT :
• high frequency oscillator or radio transmitter uses vacuum tube or
a transistor to deliver high frequency electrical current of at least
1.0 MHz
MECHANISM :
Small cutting electrode produces high current density
Rapid temperature rise at point of tissue contact
cells directly adjacent to electrode are destroyed by
temperature rise
57
58. ELECTRODES :
* An electrosurgical probe comprises of a shank and a cutting edge.
* The shank may be either straight or j-shaped.
Numerous cutting edge designs available but the most commonly
used ones are:
A) COAGULATING
B) DIAMOND LOOP
C) ROUND LOOP
D) SMALL STRAIGHT
E) SMALL LOOP
59. 59
TECHNIQUE
Profound Anaesthesia
Place a drop of aromatic oil on upper
lip
Check equipment for all
connections
Current flows from unit to
cutting electrode to the ground
and back to unit
62. Rules to be followed
• Profound soft tissue anaesthesia is mandatory.
• Ensure proper grounding of patient.
• Electrode should move at a speed > 7mm/sec.
• To prevent lateral penetration of heat into tissues.
• Avoid using electrode on dessicated tissue.
• Cutting stroke should not be repeated within 5 sec.
• Electrode must be free of tissue fragments.
62
63. • Electrodes must not touch any metallic restoration.
• Electrosurgery is not suitable on thin attached gingiva.
(eg: labial tissue of maxillary canines)
• For restorative procedures an unmodulated alternating current is recommended.
• If electrode tip drags Instrument is at too low a setting.
• If sparking visible Instrument is at too high a setting.
• During grounding Ensure that patient does not have metallic keys in pocket.
63
64. ADVANTAGES
• Sophisticated technique
• Can be done in case with gingival
inflammation
• Produce little / No bleeding
• Quick procedure
DISADVANTAGES
• Very technique sensitive
• Application of excessive
pressure Severe tissue
damage
• Difficult to control lateral
dissipation of heat
• Operatory area must be very
moist during procedure
Compromised access and
visibility
64
65. 65
CONTRAINDICATIONS
* Should not be used on patients with
cardiac pacemakers
* Should not be used in presence of
flammable agents such as
ethyl chloride (topical anaesthetic)
67. • TROUGHING TECHNIQUE or GINGETTAGE
• Limited removal of healthy epithelial tissue
• Concept first described by Amaterdam 1954
• A trough is prepared with a diamond bur in the gingival sulcus adjacent to the finishing line area,
following the administration of local anesthesia.
• The height of the marginal gingiva is approximately preserved but the sulcus gets deeper.
• This method can be used only if adequate keratinized gingiva is available.
• Trauma to the epithelial attachment may cause gingival recession due to exacerbated inflammatory
response
Determining factors for suitability of gingiva:
• No bleeding on probing
• Sulcus depth less than 3 mm
• Presence of adequate gingiva 67

68. 2. SOFT TISSUE LASER
• Laser can be used for gingival retraction in either direct or indirect restorative
treatments.
• Laser characteristics depend on the wavelength and waveforms.
• Laser is a high powered focused beam which causes tissue vaporization in 100°C -
150°C.
• Laser induced tissue retraction is a kind of trough allowing to make precise impression
with biological width preservation.
• It provides great homeostasis and can be applied without any localized anesthesia.
• It has minimum postoperative pain and discomfort
68
69. • Predictable removal of tissue by
creating trough around the
prepared tooth
• Eg: Diode laser
• Wavelength near Infra-red
• No tissue recession
• Minimal or no patient discomfort
• Better haemostasis than
• conventional methods

70. Conclusion
Fixed dental prosthesis success requires appropriate impression
making of the prepared finish line. As the finish line is adjacent
to the gingival sulcus, gingival retraction techniques should be
used to decrease the marginal discrepancy among the
restoration and the prepared abutment which is one of the
factors required for the success of the restoration.
