Dentures are artificial teeth or prosthetic devices used for replacing missing teeth. They are supported by surrounding hard and soft tissues. Most conventional designs are removable, however, there are some that are fixed to the mouth with dental implants. In most cases, dentures are the best option if the patient has several missing teeth, or is in need of a quick and convenient way to replace all of them. In the process of making dentures, the dentist uses an initial impression to create a model of a patient’s mouth, which is later used to fabricate a more accurate mold of their jaw. Afterwards, a model made from wax is carved into the gum line to ensure that the denture is a proper fit. The final model is created by the dentist. However, it will be necessary to return to the dentist for a few adjustments during the first month.

After the procedure, the dentist makes a plaster model of the mouth. This plaster model replicates the jaw's shape and position. Then, the dentist attaches wax teeth to the model. The wax teeth are carved into the gum line to ensure that the denture fits properly. After the waxes are set, the dentist will make an impression of the mouth to ensure the best fit possible. This is the most accurate way to ensure a good fit.

There are many different types of plastic used for dentures. Most are made from acrylic, which mimics intra-oral tissues. They are made from heat-cured acrylic polymethyl methacrylate or rubber-reinforced polymer. Sometimes, coloring agents or synthetic fibers are added to the denture to give it a tissue-like appearance. Recently, in May 2021, Desktop Health received the 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Flexcera Base, which is a proprietary resin used in 3D printing of high-quality dental prosthetics.

Label-Free Array Systems; Best Suited For Drug Discovery, Rapid Diagnosis, and Security Applications

Image
                                                                                                         Label-Free Array Systems Label-free array systems are widely used in the drug discovery process by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. A system works on principle of optical interferometry, impedance-based assays, and refractive index to identify and validate new molecules as the possible drug candidates. Moreover, the system helps to reduce the cost and time for drug identification and validation process. In the past few years, label-free array systems have taken center stage as an effective research tool in all major clinical drug discovery processes. Label-free array systems comprises two types of biosensors, n...

Intraocular Lens; a Lens Implanted In the Eye as Part of a Treatment for Cataracts

Image
                                    Intraocular Lens An intraocular lens (or IOL) is a tiny, artificial lens that replaces the natural lens of the eye through cataract surgery to restore both near and distant vision. To treat cataracts, the cloudy lens is surgically removed and replaced with an IOL to restore vision (both near and distant). A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. For people who have cataracts, looking through a cloudy lens is like looking through a frosty or foggy window. Cataracts occur as a natural part of the aging and are the leading cause of blindness in people over 60. According to the National Eye Institute, the number of people in the United States with cataract is expected to double from 24.4 million to about 50 million by 2050. Thus, with the increasing prevalence of cataract and growing geriatric population worldwide, the demand for intraocular l...
