Sleep apnea, particularly obstructive sleep apnea, is a common disorder characterized by repetitive partial or complete cessation of airflow, associated with oxyhemoglobin desaturation and increased effort to breathe. In the 19th century, Broadbent defined this disorder as "perfect silence through two, three, or four respiratory periods in which there are ineffectual chest movements, finally, air enters with a loud snort, after which there are several compensatory deep inspirations." Middle-aged obese men are at particular risk, but the disorder is also present in women and young children. Since individuals with narrow airways or craniofacial anomalies may have an increased risk for obstructive sleep apnea or hypopnea syndrome, dentistry can play a pivotal role in identifying and possibly treating patients with this syndrome. This article reviews the role of an orthodontist in treating patients with sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
In many countries, scientific investigations of medicinal plants have been initiated to understand their contribution to oral healthcare. Documenting indigenous knowledge through ethnobotanical studies is important for the conservation of biological resources and their sustainable utilization. In the present review, 23 species of trees have been identified as being potentially useful for oral healthcare by the Indian population. Trees continue to play a significant role in the socio-cultural life of India.
"Flabby" maxillary ridges and "atrophied or flat" mandibular ridges pose significant problems for the provision of stable and retentive dental prostheses for affected patients. Problems arise during the act of impression making, and stability of the lower denture is rather difficult to achieve. The purpose of this paper is to review the impression techniques that can be used to optimize the treatment of edentulous patients with resorbed and unresorbed mandibular ridges, especially for those where the stability of the lower denture is the decisive factor between success and failure.
The edentulous state represents a compromise in the integrity of masticatory system that is frequently accompanied by adverse functional and estheticsequelae which are varyingly perceived by the affected edentulous patient. Until relatively recently, Prosthodontic therapy was focused on technical skills and clinical judgment expertise required to fabricate complete dentures. Dentists consequently became aware of the time dependent relationship between form and functional changes in the masticatory system. Such knowledge helped nurture the development of new materials and knowledge about the relationship between esthetics, occlusion and patient's personalities.
