RESUMO
PURPOSE: The aim of this in vivo study was to compare the single-step border molding technique using injectable heavy viscosity addition silicone with sectional border molding technique using low fusing impression compound by evaluating the retention of heat cure trial denture bases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten completely edentulous patients in need of prostheses were included in this study. Two border molding techniques, single-step (Group 1) and sectional (Group 2), were compared for retention. Both border molding techniques were performed in each patient. In both techniques, definitive wash impression was made with light viscosity addition silicone. The final results were analyzed using paired t-test to determine whether significant differences existed between the groups. RESULTS: The t-value (3.031) infers that there was a significant difference between Group 1 and Group 2 (P = 0.014). The retention obtained in Group 2 (mean = 9.05 kgf) was significantly higher than that of Group 1 (mean = 8.26 kgf). CONCLUSION: Sectional border molding technique proved to be more retentive as compared to single-step border molding although clinically the retention appeared comparable.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The aim of this article is to review available literature on the clinical procedure of immediate dentine sealing for indirect bonded restorations. STUDY SELECTION: More than 40 articles reporting the technique, studies, outcomes, etc. were reviewed after PUBMED/MEDLINE search, most of them addressing the specific situation of dentin bonding for indirect restorations. RESULTS: It is known that tooth preparation for indirect bonded restorations can result in significant dentin exposures. Immediate application and polymerization of the dentin bonding agent to the freshly cut dentin, prior to impression making is therefore recommended by some authors. Literature indicates that this procedure, immediate dentine sealing (IDS), appears to achieve improved bond strength, fewer gap formations, decreased bacterial leakage, and reduces post-cementation sensitivity. This rational approach to adhesion is also reported to have a positive influence on tooth structure preservation, patient comfort, and long term survival of indirect bonded restorations. CONCLUSION: In the extensive literature regarding advantages of using IDS technique significant differences have been shown when compared to Delayed Dentine Sealing. Although more research is required in this field, presently there are NO scientific reasons not to recommend IDS in routine practice.

Prosthetic rehabilitation of severely atrophic ridges has always been an ordeal for the clinician due to decreased support, stability and retention. Because of severe resorption the restorative space between maxillary and mandibular residual ridges is increased. Rehabilitation in such cases may result in increased height and weight of the prosthesis further compromising its retention and stability. This in turn overloads the underlying hard and soft tissues exacerbating ridge resorption so, in order to break this vicious cycle, the weight of the prosthesis needs to be reduced which can be achieved by making hollow prosthesis. This article describes a novel technique of fabricating a hollow maxillary complete denture.
