Cross Infection Control in Impression Making Procedures A Pilot Survey
Abstract: Dental care professionals are at high risk of cross-infection while treating patients. This occupational potential for disease transmission becomes evident when it is considered that most human microbial pathogens have been isolated from oral secretion. The present survey was conducted with the aim of investigating the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour of dental staff and students toward cross-infection control during the procedure of impression making. A questionnaire consisting of 16 questions …

Parametric optimization and validation of novel 3D scanning approach for sustainable manufacturing of patient-specific orthodontic retainers
Abstract: The purpose of the proposed study is to identify the ideal procedure parameters for 3D scanning a denture in order to produce customised orthodontic retainers that can be produced sustainably. However, pilot investigations rarely explore parameters like scanning angle, light intensity, or scanning distance. In order to lower acquisition error, the suggested study examines a method for forecasting the ideal values of the previously indicated scanning parameters. Based on the …

Stem Cell Therapy for Parkinson's Disease: Past, Present and Future
Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common chronic progressive nervous system disorders of aging. Cell degeneration and death of dopamine neurons (DA neurons) in the substantial nigra, is the underlying feature of PD. Genetic studies showed much about the physiological processes associated with this disease. Replacing the cells lost by injury or disease has become a central idea aiming at the development of novel therapy for neurodegenerative diseases. …

Dysarthria and Dysphagia in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Case Study
Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common motor neuron disease affecting the bulbar, limb and respiratory muscles. ALS is generally characterized by progressive degeneration of both upper motor neuron (UMN) and lower motor neuron (LMN) dysfunction leading to a ‘mixed’ spastic-flaccid dysarthria. To date, only a few studies have been published regarding the nature of speech characteristics and dysphagia during the developmental course of ALS. The present study highlighted …
