Combining Conventional Impressions and Intraoral Scans: A Technique for the Treatment of Complete Denture Patients with Flabby Tissue

The conventional method for impressions of flabby tissue uses modified trays and highly flowable materials, but mucostatic impressions are difficult to achieve due to the viscous and the elastic natures of impression materials. In this report, a technique is presented in which conventional impression and intraoral scanning for a fully edentulous patient with flabby tissue are combined. The definitive impression was obtained by applying appropriate pressure to each tissue area, and the denture can be maintained passively and stable at rest and during function.     

Immune tolerance induction using a factor VIII/von Willebrand factor concentrate (BIOSTATE®), with or without immunosuppression,in Australian paediatric severe haemophilia A patients with high titre inhibitors: A multicentre,retrospective study

Introduction

It has been postulated that factor VIII (FVIII) products containing von Willebrand factor (VWF) may improve immune tolerance induction (ITI) success rate in patients with haemophilia A and poor prognostic factors.

Materials and methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of a FVIII/VWF concentrate (BIOSTATE®) for ITI in paediatric patients with severe haemophilia A (SHA) and inhibitors, from January 2003 to December 2011 at 3 paediatric-only Haemophilia Treatment Centres in Australia. Response to ITI was assessed at or before 33 months and at completion of ITI. Fifteen male patients with SHA were included in the analysis.

Results

BIOSTATE was used for primary ITI in 8 patients (2 years, range 1.1–11.5 years) and for salvage ITI in 7 patients (9.9 years, range 1.1–15.4). At the end of the observation period there were 11 patients who achieved a complete response with BIOSTATE after a median duration of 21 months (range 5–85 months); a partial response was achieved in 2 patients in whom ITI is ongoing. Therefore, the overall response rate was 86.6%. Two patients were deemed treatment failures: one due to non-compliance after 18 months of ITI and another in whom a partial response had not been achieved after 22 months of ITI.

Conclusion

BIOSTATE was well-tolerated and effective when used for primary or salvage ITI in this cohort of paediatric patients with SHA and a high-level inhibitor.     

Complete heart block—an underappreciated serious complication of central venous catheter placement

Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is a common bedside procedure that is frequently performed in critically ill patients. More than 5 million CVCs are inserted annually across the United States alone. Procedure-related complications may vary from minor bleeding to life-threatening complications such as arterial perforation and pneumothorax. Cardiac arrhythmias can often occur during the guidewire placement, and bundle-branch blocks have also been reported. We herewith report a case of complete heart block during CVC placement, which is a rare but serious complication of this procedure. Because the patient had a preexisting left bundle-branch block, complete heart block likely resulted from a probable trauma to the right bundle branch during the guidewire insertion.     

A Comparative Study of Mandibular Incisor Relation to the Lingual Frenum in Natural Dentition and in Complete Denture Wearers

The determination of the occlusal vertical dimension and proper positioning of the anterior teeth are major factors in making complete dentures which will give optimum service. In this study, efforts were made to evaluate the reliability of measurement of vertical distance between the anterosuperior most point on the lingual frenum and mesioincisal edges of mandibular central incisors in natural dentition among different age groups and in complete denture wearers. Three hundred dentulous subjects belonging to different age groups and hundred edentulous patients wearing complete dentures were selected. The dentulous group was divided into three groups, group I (20–40 years), group II (41–60 years), group III (61 years and above) and the edentulous subjects being group IV ( 40–60 years). Mandibular irreversible hydrocolloid impression (Alginate) was made using modified stock tray. In edentulous subjects impression was made with denture in position. The vertical distance between anterosuperior most point on the lingual frenum and mesioincisal edges of mandibular central incisors was measured on the dentulous casts and casts of complete denture wearer using dental surveyor and the vernier calipers. The values were tabulated and statistically analysed. The mean vertical distance between anterosuperior most point on the lingual frenum and mesioincisal edges of mandibular central incisors among dentulous subjects was 12.3 mm and among complete denture wearers was found to be 13.2 mm. There was no significant variation in the mean vertical distance among dentulous subjects belonging to different age groups. At 5 % significance level, statistically there was a significant difference in the mean vertical distance between group I and group IV; group II and group IV.     

A Comparative Evaluation of Static and Functional Methods for Recording Centric Relation and Condylar Guidance: A Clinical Study

To evaluate and compare the centric relation and horizontal condylar guidance using interocclusal wax and extra oral Gothic arch methods and subjective evaluation of dentures thus fabricated. Centric relation and horizontal condylar guidance was recorded by using interocclusal wax and gothic arch tracing in 28 completely edentulous patients. These records were transferred to the articulator and difference in both values was recorded. After that patients were divided in two groups according to the centric relation and horizontal condylar guidance recording method used to achieve balanced occlusion. Response of the dentures was subjectively evaluated using “Woelfel subjective evaluation criteria”. Centric relation recorded by both the methods did coincide in 7.14 % of patients. Centric relation recorded by interocclusal wax was posterior to Gothic centric relation in 21.43 % of patients, and anterior to Gothic centric relation in 71.42 % patients. Gothic arch tracings gave higher mean guidance values on both the sides as compared to protrusive wax record in all the subjects, although the difference was statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). Subjective evaluation showed statistical insignificance for all the parameters in both groups. Gothic arch method records the centric relation at a more posterior position than the Static method, but it does not make any difference in clinical performance of the complete denture. Horizontal condylar guidance angle was approximately similar by both the methods.
