<![CDATA[Objective: The purpose of making partially removable dentures is for the rehabilitation of tooth loss situations, mastication, esthetics and improving the health of the oral tissues. Some patients are dissatisfied with removable denture primarily at the time of functioning, the denture becomes unstable, so clinicians are expected to understand how to maximize every opportunity to provide and stabilize artificial denture by using surveyors.Methods: The references in this review are taken from textbook and internet search using Google with key words was carried out. Full text articles in English that were published from 1981 to 2014 are presented. In this review explains about surveying in prosthodontics. Surveyor is a tool for alignment used in making artificial teeth to find and describe the contours and positions of abutment teeth and related structural structures. The goal is to analyze the model for the best path of insertion selection.Results: A fundamental requirement in understanding the use of surveyors is to prevent the inappropriateness of path of insertion. To get a good guide plane should be done surveying. This guide plane is one of the important factors in determining the path of insertion and the stability of partially removable denture.Conclusion: The dentist should precisely control the use of surveyors in the manufacture of partially removable dentures. Thus it will produce a stable denture and can support the mastication function.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: Carbamide peroxide 10% is commonly used in home bleaching procedure. Effectiveness of carbamide peroxide bleaching process as a home bleaching has no successor yet, but its use is still being debated due to the effects on oral cavity. Strawberries are one of natural ingredients that currently used to whiten decolorized teeth because it contains ellagic acid and malic acid. On contrary, malic acid is said to be involved in the process of erosion. The aim of this study was to compare tooth enamel hardness after application of dental bleaching agent carbamide peroxide 10% and strawberry gel.Material and Methods: Sample consists of 30 maxillary incisors were divided into 3 groups. The first group as control soaked in aquades. The second treatment group were applied with carbamide peroxide 10%Â and a third group applied with strawberry gel. Before and after the sample application, tests were performed to determine the hardness of tooth enamel as measured using Universal Hardness Tester.Results: Based on Friedman test, p-value = 0,000 (p <0,05; significant). This means that there was a significant difference in tooth enamel surface hardness of each group and treatment group using bleaching carbamide peroxide 10% and strawberry gel.Conclusion: There was a decrease on tooth enamel hardness after application of carbamide peroxide 10%Â compared strawberry gel.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: Erythema Multiforme (EM) is an acute mucocutaneous hypersensitivity reaction triggered by certain infections and medications. EM induced by virus infection termed as Herpes- associated Erythema Multiforme (HAEM). The use of corticosteroids for treating HAEM has been a long debate issue. The aim of this case report is to present a patient with HAEM who was successfully treated with acyclovir combined with prednisone.Methods:A 31-years-old female, presented with a complaint of pain and diffuse ulcers in mouth. The patient reported recurrent episode of the ulcers of the mouth during the last two years. On extra oral examination, lips were crusted and bleeding. Intraoral examination revealed multiple diffuse ulcerations on mucosa. Nolesions were seen in other part of the body. Laboratory investigation revealed normal complete blood count and positive HSV-1 serology. The patient was diagnosed as HAEM.The patient was treated with acyclovir (1000 mg/day) and prednisone (10mg/day), topical mixture corticosteroid, chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% and multivitaminduring seven days.Results:All lesions healed without any further clinical sequelae within 7 days.The clinical success of corticosteroids as effective anti-inflammatory agents is largely attributed to their ability to reduce the expression of pro-inflammatory genes, help to maintain vascular integrity and decrease the expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules.Conclusions:The addition of prednisone to acyclovir for HAEM resulted in a significant reduction of clinical signs and symptoms during the first week. The combination of acyclovir and corticosteroids may play an important role in the standard care for HAEM.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: Canina fossa abscesses are rarely reported in the literature. Tooth infection is often derived from bacteria associated with the abscess. Canina fossa abscesses can lead to the development of secondary abscesses, infection of incisors and canines in the upper jaw and maxillary sinusitis infection.Methods: Odontogenic infections can easily spread throughout the muscles and the face, which can cause abscesses mucolabial or accumulation of pus in the eyelid and face. Results: Patients experienced a history of pain and fever. Physical examination showed enlargement and swelling of the right cheek and panoramic radiographs appear radiolucent on the apex of tooth tip 13. Treatment included an intraoral drainage incision at the apex of the tooth 13 and continued administration of antibiotic therapy.Conclusion: Successful treatments require early recognition, determination of etiological factors, and appropriate medical and surgical management.]]>
