Abstract
Background: Metal ceramics, are normally used materials nowadays in Prosthodontics. These materials are used to fabricate dental prostheses which replace missing or damaged dental structures. This existing research was undertaken to differentiate and appraise the shear bond strength of two commonly obtainable intraoral repair systems for dental ceramics.
Materials and procedures: Overall 52 specimens were incorporated into this research and were split into groups, each group comprising 26 samples.
Group A – Contains Ceramic repair N system (Ivoclar, Vivadent), Group B –Contains Clearfil repair system (Kuraray, Japan). A total of 52 discs were prepared by using base metal alloy i.e. (Ni-Cr). The dimension of each disc is 20 mm in diameter and thickness was 1.5 mm, for evenness of base metal thickness of 1.5 mm and 2mm thickness of the repair system, the wax pattern was concocted. Universal testing machine was incorporated into this research to access the bond (shear) strength of these materials. The data was collected and inspected by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 21.0 version software application.
Result: Mean value of samples for shear bond strength in group (A) was 14.44 MPa whereas for group (B) was 17.006 MPa. Despite the fact differentiating the value (mean) of shear bond strength between these groups, remarkable results were obtained.
Conclusion: This study concluded that the bond potency of the Clearfil repair system is more than Ceramic repair N system.

Data Sources: PubMed, Google scholar, Google.
Study Selection: The database identified 4928 publications during the electronic search. Titles and abstracts were screened completely for including in the systematic review. A total of 20 publications were judged to be relevant by the title and abstract and were analysed by reading full texts. Following this review, an additional 3 articles were excluded, as they were review articles. Thus, 17 articles were appropriate and met the inclusion criteria, thus included for the review and complete text was analysed.
Data Extraction: The final 17 articles were thoroughly read and intended data was extracted from the results of each study done and were carefully segregated and complied in a self-designed format. The overall data was analysed and mean deviation was derived to conclude the review and establish the results.
Results: It was identified that there was no significant difference found between denture associated lesions among females and males. The most prevalent lesion was denture stomatitis with 47.46%, commonly located in crest of ridge of maxilla and in alveolo-lingual sulcus and crest of ridge of mandible. Moreover, the extent of adjustments required for dentures were higher in mandibular than maxillary dentures in every post insertion revisits.
Conclusion: Denture wearers must be educated about the maintenance of the dentures and good oral hygiene. Periodic reviews should be done to avert or minimize the oral ulcerations and improve the quality of dentures. By appropriate planning of treatment, making of good impressions, support from laboratory and educating the patients, the number of post insertion revisits and discomfort can be minimized, thereby making the removable complete denture a successful treatment modality.

Understanding implant esthetics: Where function meets looks.
Sujata Pandey, Swatantra Agarwal, Ariba Obeidy, Sukanya Das.
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this article is to comprehend the numerous factors that can influence aesthetics of an implant prosthesis.
Study selection: The data has been sourced from various books and articles about implant aesthetics.
Results: It can be seen that modern implant dentistry prioritises aesthetics, which is connected to a natural-looking, harmonious smile, in addition to function, speech, and health. Nowadays, emphasis has shifted to creating a cosmetic rehabilitation that camouflages with the existing tooth structure and has strong, long-lasting surrounding tissues throughout time. The dentist must consider a variety of elements that affect the final appearance prior to implant placement. Aesthetic parameters of the future prosthetic restoration should be planned and assessed. The use of modern digital technologies, virtual planning of implant positioning, and design projection of future prosthetic restoration can improve the aesthetic outcome.
Conclusion: Aesthetic pleasure promotes patient confidence and self-esteem and hence the secret to a satisfied happy patient is a systematic effort involving implant placement, soft tissue care, and the rehabilitation by a prosthesis.

Decision making in the fabrication of mandibular guide flange prosthesis: A case series.
Sourav Maji, Rahul Paul, Shubhabrata Roy.
Abstract
Introduction: Post-cancer ablative surgery often results in a gross imbalance in the anatomic structure, thereby impairing occlusion and other vital functions of life. The remaining mandible after surgery shifts to the medial and superior direction, causing impaired functions. “Guide flange prosthesis’ is an appliance, which is indicated in such a situation to reduce the clinical appearance.
Case Presentation: This paper describes a case series of 3 cases, where patients with different clinical presentations were treated with different mandibular guide flange prosthesis design.
Discussion: The degree of mandibular movement impairment depends on factors like the location and extent of the defect, amount of soft tissue defect, the neural tissues involved, and the presence of natural teeth. The mandibular guide flange prosthesis acts as interference in patient habitual movement post-surgery and redirects the mandible to acceptable occlusion. Hence suitable design of mandibular guide flange prosthesis must be selected for optimum outcome.
Keywords: Hemi-mandibulectomy, Mandibular guide flange prosthesis, Mandibular guidance therapy rehabilitation.
