Snoring and Sleep related problems disturb the personal&family life of an individual. Further, it adversely affects the quality of life and efficiency of the person. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome&associated snoring since long had been taken care of by various removable appliances made for mandibular repositioning and maintaining the patency of airway.
This article describes one such appliance (NKOSA appliance) which gradually shifts the mandible in anteroinferior direction, and was well accepted by the patients and proved to be effective.

Eye defects constitute a major portion of maxillofacial defects which require prosthetic correction for esthetic and social rehabilitation of the afflicted patient. Treatment modalities include implant and acrylic prosthesis. Although implant eye prosthesis offer superior results, they may not be economically viable for all patients. A custom made ocular acrylic prosthesis is a good alternative. A case report of patient with acquired ocular defect who was treated with a custom made ocular acrylic prosthesis which had enhanced fit, retention and facial esthetics to a greater degree.Keywords
