The hand is a powerful tool and its loss causes a severe psychological and physical drawback. A considerable number of people each year suffer finger or partial finger amputations as a result of malignant disease, trauma, and congenital deformity.
Prosthetic restoration is usually considered difficult for the whole or a part of the finger and it worsens if multiple fingers are involved. Additionally in patients with mixed connective tissue disorders with overlapping clinical features of scleroderma and arthritis any undue pressure from the artificial rings or vacuum fit of the prosthesis might cause further vasoconstriction that could worsen blood flow to extremities. This clinical report describes a simple and economical method for prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with mixed connective tissue disease following digital loss using a custom made prosthesis with medical grade tissue adhesive as retentive aid.

Purpose: Occupational exposure to blood borne pathogens with needle stick or other sharp tool injuries is a serious but preventable problem. this study will be conducted to investigate the incidence of Needle stick injury (NSI) among the Dental health care providers (DHCP) of Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Mangalore.
Method: The NSI incidence, demographics, contributing factors, and follow up following NSI report were reviewed.
Results: Six, eleven, seventeen and nineteen needle stick injuries were reported in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively. Most injuries were experienced by students and least by the Faculty.
Conclusion: Based on the results and within the limitations of this surveillance study it is concluded that occupational exposures can be reduced and reporting of all exposures is vital. The institution of appropriate PEP, psychological support and counselling of affected HCWs and stringent follow-up are all needed to reduce the burden of occupationally acquired infections in HCWs
