Abstract

Statement of problem:

Purpose: The aim was to investigate the relationship between the inter alar width (IAW) and the distance between the maxillary canines tip and also to determine the relation of the ala of nose and canine on individual side, for different arch forms, to aid in artificial denture teeth positioning.

Materials and Method: A total of 300 dentate subjects aged between 18-30 years, of both genders were selected, among them 150 were males and 150 females. The subjects were divided into three group based on their arch forms that is, square arch, ovoid arch and tapered arch forms. The subjects to be photographed were made to achieve the natural head position (NHP). All pho-tographs were analyzed for inter-alar width. The inter-canine width using Adobe Photoshop-7 professional.

Conclusion: It is concluded that maintaining symmetry while fabricating a complete denture is not mandatory. After observing the data it is suggested that in both males and females for all arch forms teeth arrangement can be made with the alar lines extending distal to the premolar.

Abstract

Pain control is an important part of dentistry. Although most of them can cope with local anesthetic injections, a few are needle-phobic, and giving them an injection presents a challenge to the dentist. For other, the paresthesia which may linger for hours after the completion of the dental procedure is more objectionable than the injection. In the past decade, there has been renewed interest in the applications of electronic pain control in dentistry and several electronic dental anesthesia machines are currently being advertised and used. This communication is to bring certain developments regarding the electronic dental anesthesia.
