  Engineered Polymer Composites for Non-Surgical Lip Posture Correction in Facial Paralysis

  By Shivsagar Tewary, Neelima Anil Malik

  Abstract: Facial paralysis presents significant functional and aesthetic challenges, particularly through lip posture deficits such as drooping and drooling, often inadequately addressed by traditional surgical or drug-based interventions, especially in debilitated patients. This study explores the application of engineered polymer composites in a novel, non-surgical lip posture corrector designed to statically suspend and correct lip position without requiring surgical or dental support. The device utilizes a precisely formulated blend of polymethylmethacrylate …

  Development of Novel Polymeric Articulating Papers for Enhanced Occlusal Contact Assessment in Dentistry

  By Omkar Sakpal, Shivsagar Tewary, Shubha Joshi, Ajay Gaikwad, Abhijeet Kore

  Abstract: Traditional articulating papers, a mainstay in occlusal analysis, often exhibit limitations in consistency and difficulty with quantitative data analysis. This study explores the development of novel articulating papers utilizing advanced polymeric materials. These novel papers aim to address the shortcomings of traditional options by potentially improving: (1) sensitivity and resolution for capturing occlusal contacts, (2) consistency and reproducibility of contact readings, and (3) durability and reusability. The successful development of …
