Authors: Прохватилова О.А.
Published: January 2022

Статья посвящена рассмотрению содержательных особенностей корректировочного курса фонетики РКИ для носителей китайского языка. На основе опыта преподавания в Совместном университете МГУ-ППИ и с учетом имеющихся в специальной литературе представлений о фонетико-фонологической системе китайского языка и китайском акценте формулируется ведущий принцип построения корректировочного курса фонетики, сочетающий ориентацию на китайскую артикуляционную базу и учет специфики фонетико-фонологической системы китайского языка. Предлагается описание содержательной структуры корректировочного курса для китайских студентов, которая включает четыре компонента: работу над проблемами в освоении консонантной системы русского языка, совершенствование навыков произношения гласных звуков в безударной позиции, отработку ритмико-интонационного членения речевого потока русской звучащей речи, знакомство со стилистическими особенностями русской звучащей речи.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the content features of the correction course of the phonetics of the RCT for native speakers of the Chinese language. Based on the experience of teaching at the Joint University of MSU-PPI and taking into account the ideas available in the special literature about the phonetic-phonological system of the Chinese language and the Chinese accent, the leading principle of constructing a correction course of phonetics is formulated, combining orientation to the Chinese articulation base and taking into account the specifics of the phonetic-phonological system of the Chinese language. Russian Russian is a description of the content structure of the correction course for Chinese students, which includes four components: work on problems in mastering the consonant system of the Russian language, improving the skills of pronunciation of vowel sounds in an unstressed position, working out the rhythmic-intonation division of the speech flow of Russian sounding speech, familiarity with the stylistic features of Russian sounding speech.

Accusative Licensing of Nouns in Turkish
Authors: Solak Ercan
Published: January 2022

The observation that some Turkish nouns license accusative marking of their complements has puzzled linguistics for the last three decades. The first and the most common hypothesis is that such nouns are part of light-verb compounds in their infinitive nominal form where the verbal part is dropped. In this paper, I argue that light-verb hypothesis is incorrect by providing several constructions where it fails to account for. I propose an alternative, two-part hypothesis. The first part is independent of the light-verb constructions and claims that in Turkish, the accusative case is licensed by verb stems rather than finite verbs. This is a natural corollary of a yet larger hypothesis about the structure of syntax trees for languages like Turkish which claims that the syntax trees go deeper than the word level. The leaves of such trees are morphemes or morpheme groups and the whole of infection/derivation is considered within a single morphosyntactic structure. The implication is that as far as the case-licensing is concerned, only the verb stems license accusative case. In constructions where a deverbal noun seems to be licensing accusative case, it is actually the verb stem in the noun’s derivation tree that licenses the accusative case. The second part of the hypothesis is the claim that the case-licensing nouns are actually lexicalizations involving multiple adjacent leaves in the morphosyntactic tree. The most common manifestations of this are the lexicalizations of verb stem-participle pairs through replacement with templatic surface forms borrowed from Arabic. The new proposal naturally explains the observation that accusative licensing is most common for a small set of words borrowed from Arabic. I illustrate that these words are the templatic forms of their multi-morpheme counterparts in Turkish which correspond to deverbal nouns, adjectives or adverbs.
Specificity Effects and Object Movement In Turkish and Uyghur
Authors: Jenkins Robin
Published: January 2022

This paper examines a typologically novel differential object marking pattern in Uyghur where marked objects loose their obligatory specific interpretation under fronting to sentence initial position. This pattern contrasts with the more typical differential object marking pattern found in, for example, Turkish where marked objects always have a specific interpretation regardless of surface position. The Uyghur data, I argue, suggest that specific interpretation of object DPs does not always correlate with structural height relative to the VP (Diesing 1992). Instead, I propose a new model where a specific interpretation of an object is forced if it passed through a particular position in the structure.
Variable Conjunct Agreement in Qaraqalpaq
Authors: Asinari Sarah Jane , Lee Si Kai
Published: January 2022

This paper examines a unique Variable Conjunct Agreement (VCA) pattern in Qaraqalpaq. In this language, the second or third person pronoun can undergo conjunct agreement with the verb from either the first or last conjunct. This agreement pattern is disrupted in the presence of any first person pronoun, regardless of whether the pronoun is within the ConjP. We use a multidominant structure to represent coordination in Qaraqalpaq. We propose that a \emph{Speaker} head is required to merge the ConjP with the rest of the structure. This Speaker head is also required to license the [+Speaker] feature of the first person pronoun. This competition prevents first person pronouns and VCA from co-occurring in the same sentence; the only possibility in the relevant cases is full subject agreement.

HOBBIES AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES PRACTICED AMONG DENTISTS AND MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS IN CHENNAI – A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: S Sanjana , Chacko Rachel , T.M Parameswaran
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Hobbies and Extracurricular Activities (EA) provide an outlet for stress. The Medical and Dental field is a long emotionally taxing journey. Stress progressively develops over the course of Medical/Dental education. It is challenging to strike a balance between leading a successful medical profession as well as pursuing their favored Hobbies/EA’s. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: 1.Evaluate the number of dental and medical practitioners participating in hobbies and extracurricular activities. 2) To correlate the involvement of extracurricular activity in terms of progress, joyfulness and level of achievement. 3) To suggest a schedule to continue long lost hobbies and extracurricular activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out amongst the dental and medical practitioners in Chennai between March 2017 and May 2017. A total of 120 self-administered questionnaires were distributed amongst dentists working at 2 private colleges and as dental and medical practitioners in private clinics. The questionnaire contained demographic details along with a set of 14 questions which included 6 openended questions and 8 closed-ended questions. RESULTS: Upon evaluating the number of people involving in extracurricular activities, it was found significant that doctors working more than 5 hours could not continue their activities regularly and those whom worked less than 5 hours a day were able to involve regularly. Around 13 people did not answer those two questionnaires. The correlation coefficient was positively correlated 0.012 which showed a weak positive correlation proving that the dentists who balanced between profession and extracurricular activities outperform the people who did not take part in extracurricular activities. This study showed that working less or more has a significant impact the extracurricular activities to a negative correlation. (- 0.047). CONCLUSION: Involvement by the dentists and medical practitioners in hobbies and extracurricular activities and it was found significant that, • Majority of them who engaged in activities were continuing them regularly. • They also wished to reschedule their time to participate effectively in hobbies and activities.

AEROSOL AND DENTISTRY IN COVID ERA
Authors: A Lekha , S.K Balaji
Published: January 2022

Aerosol and splatter play a significant role in transmission of infection in a dental set up, which is of great concern for the dentist and the patient. Major source of aerosol in a dental set up is from ultrasonic scalers and rotary instrument which are of primary importance for performing regular dental procedures. Since the aerosolized particles behave in a ballistic manner and can stay suspended in air for a long period of time, the probability of surface contamination and transmission of infection through contact of these contaminated surfaces within dental clinic is extremely high. Presently our anxiety due to possible aerosol contamination has increased multiple folds due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Hence knowing the properties and composition of the aerosol, would give an insight into reducing the microbial load in the aerosol being generated during the regular dental procedures.

EXPOSE TO EVOLVE ESTHETICS– A CASE REPORT OF ALTERED PASSIVE ERUPTION
Authors: Kshirsagar Jaishree Tukaram , S Sangeetha
Published: January 2022

In dentistry, multidisciplinary approaches are evolved to achieve periodontal esthetics. Dento-gingival relationship increases facial esthetics. The gingival complex is a vital aspect of any restorative treatment plan. “Gummy smile” contributes to esthetic problems and is caused by several factors such as, short upper lip, upper lip hyperactivity, vertical maxillary growth, dentoalveolar extrusion, gingival enlargement, altered passive eruption or a combination. Short clinical crown constitutes gummy smile characterized by displaying gum line during smiling. Esthetic management by periodontal plastic surgical methods is a challenging protocol and it depends on diagnosis and treatment plan. When the gingival tissue fails to recede adequately to level apical to cervical convexity of the crown results in passive eruption of teeth and it is termed as altered passive eruption. This case report entails periodontal management of altered passive eruption which procuresesthetic smile. KEYWORDS: Altered passive eruption, delayed passive eruption, Retarded passive eruption

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Halitosis or Oral malodor is defined as an unpleasant breath odor and it is an important dental problem in which the affected are not conscious of it, and it also causes individuals to lose self-confidence and thus affecting their social life. It can also be because of underlying systemic condition but most prominently it is due to improper maintenance of oral hygiene. AIM: The study aims at assessing awareness and knowledge of halitosis among general population and their perception of it. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 512 individuals of age 18-70 years through online forums due to COVID 19 pandemic situation. A pre-validated questionnaire with 22 closed ended question on Google forms were circulated on social media platforms like WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis. RESULTS: It was observed that 66% believed that halitosis was related to oral hygiene and 68% believed that smoking and alcohol consumption caused bad breath and 60% agreed that tongue coating and food lodgment caused halitosis. About 64.6% stated that bad breath affected their social life by reducing their self-confidence. CONCLUSION: Halitosis is the one of the unattractive aspects affecting psychosocial interaction and relationship, it needs multiple approach to treat. The result of the study indicates that awareness of halitosis among general population is very high whereas knowledge on prevention of halitosis is comparatively less.

Published: January 2022

INTRODUCTION: Malignant neoplasm is a major cause of death in developed countries, and its incidence continues to grow. Diabetes mellitus is a serious and leading health problem. Recent studies demonstrated that Diabetes mellitus (DM) was associated with a higher risk of Head and Neck cancer. Only a few population-based studies, especially in Asian populations, have addressed these issues. Thus, this study aimed at assessing the relationship between Diabetes mellitus and Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) in reference to their socio-economic status. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study was conducted on 483 HNC patients aged above 15 years. The data was collected from patients reporting to Mahavir Cancer Institute & Research Centre, Patna, and Rama Dental College Hospital and Research Center, Kanpur. Blood sugar level was tested to assess the status of diabetes mellitus. The demographic details such as place, social-economic status (SES), age and sex were recorded. Control group of 100 people aged above 15 years were selected with habits of using tobacco products and without any oral precancerous lesion/conditions. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using unconditional logistic regression. RESULTS: Of 483 patients, 70 patients (14.4%) had DM showing no overall relationship with HNC. A major number of HNC with DM was more in high socioeconomic status patients 41.7% (p<0.05), showing strong association whereas for low SES it was 3.4% (p>0.05). Out of overall Diabetes mellitus (DM), there were 77.1% of male and 22.8% were female. CONCLUSION: Diabetes was weakly associated with HNC, but we observed evidence of a relationship with the socioeconomic group. People with HNC and low socioeconomic status showed less association with diabetes than people with high socioeconomic status. KEY WORDS: Socioeconomic status, Diabetes mellitus, Head and Neck Cancer

Authors: S Anbu Meena , A Kannan , C L Krithika , S Sanjana , D Parimala , Aniyan Yesoda
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Radiographs are diagnostic aids commonly used by dentists and physicians for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Traditional method of radiography is still being practiced despite the invention and evolution of digitalization. Dental workplaces that practice conventional radiographic techniques must use numerous chemical solutions for X-ray film processing. All these chemical solutions necessitate specific handling and disposal techniques. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the knowledge on dental radiological waste management among dentists in Tamil Nadu. METHODOLOGY:A survey was performed for a sample size of 379 dental clinicians. A multiple‑choice response type of questionnaire was designed with close‑ended questions with a maximum choice of four responses. Responses were evaluated to extract the results. RESULTS: The result of this present study showed that total correct answers have been reported to be <50%. This showed lack in knowledge among the dentists. CONCLUSIONS: Harmful dental radiographic wastes should be carefully disposed to minimize hazards to the environment. Although there is small amount of contribution of waste generated by individual, it’s eventual accumulation plays a pivotal role in affecting the environment and human health in various ways. Thus, it becomes exceedingly significant for proper disposal of waste products from conventional radiographs in lowering its impact on the surrounding environment. KEYWORDS: Radiographic waste, lead foil waste, silver waste.
SHORT IMPLANTS- AN EVOLVING TREND- A REVIEW
Authors: T Swetha , Kiruba Godwin Alex , Ramanathan Manikandhan
Published: January 2022

Short implants have been proposed as one of the positive treatment options for compromised edentulous regions. Decreased bone height, poor bone quality often limit the use of conventional implants and usually necessitate complex surgical procedures like sinus lift or bone augmentations which are associated with increased morbidity, treatment time and cost. Though the crown root ratio of short implants is controversial, they have demonstrated a high success rate with innovations that have bolstered its effectiveness through the modifications in micro and macro surface topography, surgical bone drilling protocols and implant diameter. Photo functionalization of implants and customized implants using 3D printing are some of the promising developments in short implants.

Authors: A Vinita Mary , R Kesavan , B Keerthiga , A Neelofar Begum , K Sathya , M.D Malleswari
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Dental professionals work effectively and efficiently to impart a positive behavioral attitude towards dental treatment in children with oral health care needs. The main objective of sedation in pediatric dentistry is to reduce fear, minimize physical discomfort and control behavior for dental procedures. The present study was carried out to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practices of dental students and practitioners towards conscious sedation. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among 384 dental professionals that included undergraduate, postgraduate dental students and dental practitioners across Tamil Nadu, India. The data was collected through self-constructed questionnaires consisting of 28 questions in English and circulated via online platform on account of COVID-19 pandemic. Every respondent was informed of the purpose of the study and participation was purely voluntary. RESULTS: The mean age of the study participants was found to be 25.99 ± 12.34 years (mean ± S.D) comprising of 184 (48%) males and 200 (52%) females. Majority of the study participants acquired knowledge about conscious sedation through dental curriculum only. About 46.1% considered conscious sedation over general anesthesia for all dental procedures like restoration, scaling, minor bone fractures and minor surgeries, 40.1% preferred midazolam and 78.4% recommend Nitrous oxide sedation as effective technique. Most of the study participants believed oral sedation was easier to administer, required less expertise and skill with minimal or no complication. CONCLUSION: This study reveals lacunae in adequate knowledge and understanding among the practitioners. The result of this study thus provides an insight on need for strategies like incorporating guidelines in dental curriculum, organizing continuing dental education programs and workshops to provide knowledge and incorporate positive attitude among the dental professionals to offer effective conscious sedation in children necessitating oral health care.

LIGAPLANT- A REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT OF PERIODONTIOINTEGRATED IMPLANTS
Authors: Pritam Neha , De Amit , D Rambabu , S. R Savan , Nisha Swet
Published: January 2022

Missing tooth replacement is a patient’s demand dentists have to meet without fail. Replacement by implants has gained a lot of popularity among patients nowadays. Oseeo-integrated implants present a challenge of excessive stress accumulating at the crestal region of the implants leads to bone loss whereas, periodontal-integrated implants i.e.,- leadplants have the potential of PDL regeneration thus mimicking the natural tooth in distributing the forces throughout the length of the root. The regenerated periodontal ligament dissipates these forces through the compression and redistribution of its fluid elements, as well as through its fiber system and hence provides shock absorption and cushioning effect to the implant in response to these forces. Although it is a technique sensitive procedure, leadplants can alleviate problems which implant usually faces such as infrasonic defects, gingival recession of the missing tooth site. Thus, it can be understood that generating a periodontal-like tissue around implants is possible and might be the future in the field of implant logy. An online search was done on Google Scholar search platform, on the topic of leadplant. Relevant articles have been referred to throw some light on this concept. This review article includes references of publications from 1982- 2020, which is related to promising outcomes of use of periodontio-integrated implants over the conventional oseeointegrated ones. KEYWORDS- Dental implants, Periodontal Ligament, Ligaplant, Periodontio-integrated implant.

Published: January 2022

India's responsibility towards the arrangement, and progressively successful reduction in the usage of tobacco under “Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act” (COTPA) and “Framework Convention for Tobacco Control” (FCTC) prompted the introduction of the National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP) in 2007–2008. This study aimed to compare the incidence of tobacco related cancers before and after implementation of NTCP in India. All the sources which have the statistics on cancer incidence in India were identified and the data was extracted to compare the cancer incidences. Secondary data from the sources such as National Cancer Control Registry, Global adult tobacco survey report etc. were collected and tabulated. The results showed that the usage of smokeless tobacco has decreased to 17.6% in 2015 after the implementation of NTCP from 23.4% in 2005. Same way the prevalence in the usage of smoked tobacco has reduced considerably from 18.3% in 2005 to 11.9% in 2009 after the implementation of NTCP. In Mumbai, the number of cancer patients due to tobacco usage has decreased from 7642 to 3625. But in Chennai, the total number have increased from 2000- 2014. By the analysis of incidence of tobacco related cancers and tobacco consumption in India, it is evident that the usage of tobacco products both smoke and smokeless tobacco consumption have decreased after the implementation of NTCP.

Published: January 2022

Biophotovoltaic (BPV) cells otherwise called living solar cells are a clean energy-generating technology that uses photosynthetic organisms (cyanobacteria or microalgae) to produce electricity. However, the output voltage and current density of BPV cells are extremely low and the lifespan of BPV cells is short. In this article, a study based on computer simulation on the improvement of the switch of a low power DC to DC converter circuit is presented. A redesign of the circuit’s switch (NMOSFETs) shows that a 10.5 % increase in output voltage is achievable with an increase in efficiency of 3.4 %. Simulation shows that the increase in performance is due to the very low ON resistance of the newly designed switch.

Published: January 2022

Studies related to the effects of ambient temperature on the performance of an air conditioning unit have been carried out for decades. However, specific study concerning the effect of varied ambient temperature under constant relative humidity has not been reported yet. This paper discusses the operating conditions and performance of an air conditioner with R32 and nominal capacity of 2.6 kW. The test was carried out in a controlled psychrometric chamber under constant relative humidity of 50% and varied outdoor air temperature from 24 to 38°C. The increase of outdoor air temperature affects the operating conditions of the air conditioner. Generally, if the outdoor air temperature increases by 1°C the evaporating temperature increases by 0.27°C. Meanwhile, refrigerant suction temperature, discharge temperature, and condensing temperature increase by 0.08°C, 1.08°C, and 1.04°C, respectively. Under the same tests, the cooling capacity decreases by 1% and power consumption increases by 1.6%. In addition, the energy efficiency ratio of the air conditioner decreases by 2.1% per 1°C increase of outdoor air temperature.

Published: January 2022

The effectiveness generation of HHO gas depends on the characteristic of the electrode plates. This research aims to investigate the effect of the HHO gas generator produced through the water electrolysis technique. The effect of several controlled factors, such as the number, distance, and area of electrode plates used in the water electrolysis process to produce HHO gas, were studied and analyzed using a factorial full design approach (RBFAD). Stainless Steel of 1 mm thickness has been chosen as an electrode plate material. A single-cylinder four-stroke S.I. engine was used as the test engine. The engine was tested at 16 different setups where the engine speed and exhaust emission of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) gasses were recorded. The statistical significance of these controlled factors contributing to the engine performance and exhaust emission has been established with the analysis of variance. It was found that the number of plates that interacted with a large area of electrode plate is a significant factor that caused an increase in engine speed on an average of 26%, an average reduction in CO by 43%, and a decrease in HC gas by 42%. In conclusion, the higher number of electrode plates and a higher electrode plate area produced more HHO gas that yields completed internal combustion. Thus, it can enhance the engine speed and reduces the CO and HC gas content in exhaust emissions.

CO2 ice is present on the trailing hemisphere of Ariel but is mostly absent from its leading hemisphere. The leading/trailing hemispherical asymmetry in the distribution of CO2 ice is consistent with radiolytic production of CO2, formed by charged particle bombardment of H2O ice and carbonaceous material in Ariel’s regolith. This longitudinal distribution of CO2 on Ariel was previously characterized using 13 near-infrared reflectance spectra collected at “low” sub-observer latitudes between 30°S and 30°N. Here we investigated the distribution of CO2 ice on Ariel using 18 new spectra: 2 collected over low sub-observer latitudes, 5 collected at “mid” sub-observer latitudes (31°N–44°N), and 11 collected over “high” sub-observer latitudes (45°N–51°N). Analysis of these data indicates that CO2 ice is primarily concentrated on Ariel’s trailing hemisphere. However, CO2 ice band strengths are diminished in the spectra collected over mid and high sub-observer latitudes. This sub-observer latitudinal trend may result from radiolytic production of CO2 molecules at high latitudes and subsequent migration of this constituent to low-latitude cold traps. We detected a subtle feature near 2.13 μm in two spectra collected over high sub-observer latitudes, which might result from a “forbidden” transition mode of CO2 ice that is substantially stronger in well-mixed substrates composed of CO2 and H2O ice, consistent with regolith-mixed CO2 ice grains formed by radiolysis. Additionally, we detected a 2.35 μm feature in some low sub-observer latitude spectra, which might result from CO formed as part of a CO2 radiolytic production cycle.

Published: January 2022

The TRAPPIST-1 Habitable Atmosphere Intercomparison (THAI) project was initiated to compare 3D climate models that are commonly used for predicting theoretical climates of habitable zone extrasolar planets. One of the core models studied as part of THAI is ExoCAM, an independently curated exoplanet branch of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Earth System Model (CESM), version 1.2.1. ExoCAM has been used for studying atmospheres of terrestrial extrasolar planets around a variety of stars. To accompany the THAI project and provide a primary reference, here we describe ExoCAM and what makes it unique from standard configurations of CESM. Furthermore, we also conduct a series of intramodel sensitivity tests of relevant moist physical tuning parameters while using the THAI protocol as our starting point. A common criticism of 3D climate models used for exoplanet modeling is that cloud and convection routines often contain free parameters that are tuned to the modern Earth, and thus may be a source of uncertainty in evaluating exoplanet climates. Here, we explore sensitivities to numerous configuration and parameter selections, including a recently updated radiation scheme, a different cloud and convection physics package, different cloud and precipitation tuning parameters, and a different sea ice albedo. Improvements to our radiation scheme and the modification of cloud particle sizes have the largest effects on global mean temperatures, with variations up to ∼10 K, highlighting the requirement for accurate radiative transfer and the importance of cloud microphysics for simulating exoplanetary climates. However, for the vast majority of sensitivity tests, climate differences are small. For all cases studied, intramodel differences do not bias general conclusions regarding climate states and habitability.
Prosthetic Complications of Screw-Retained Restoration Using Multiunit Abutments Versus Intraoral Luting on Titanium Base in Implant-Supported Complete Overdentures Randomized Clinical Trial

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: This trial aims to study the difference between prostheses screwmented on full-arch implants using the intraoral luting cement technique on titanium bases versus transmucosal abutments in terms of prosthetic complications.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty patients were recruited in this trial, there were mainly two groups. A screw-retained full-arch implant-supported prosthesis was constructed over four dental implants on upper or lower jaws. For the control group, multiunit abutments were used to construct a screw-retained prosthesis. As for the experimental group, Ti-base abutments were used over the dental implants to construct a screw-retained prosthesis. In both groups, the prosthetic framework was made using polyether ether ketone (PEEK) material and luted intraorally over the titanium sleeve using resin cement. A binary outcome of prosthetic complication was taken in 6 and 12 months. Abutment screw loosening, prosthetic screw loosening, prosthetic screw fracture, abutment screw fracture, veneer fracture, framework fracture, Ti-base decementation, and overall prosthetic loosening were the prosthetic complications included in the trial.

RESULTS: At the end of the study, a total of 19 patients adhered to the trial. Throughout the exposure process of implants, two implants failed in one patient from the Ti-base group. This patient was excluded from the study on his request. There was no statistically significant difference present between Ti-base and multiunit abutment groups in terms of abutment and prosthetic screw loosening, abutment and prosthetic screw fracture, veneer and framework fracture, Ti-base decementation, and overall prosthesis loosening for 6 and 12 months. Data were explored for normality using Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Shapiro–Wilk tests, data showed non-parametric (not-normal) distribution. Qualitative data were presented as frequencies and percentages. Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney tests were used to compare the qualitative outcomes in this study.

CONCLUSION: Both multiunit and Ti-base are considered a viable line of treatment to construct a screw-retained full arch implant-supported prosthesis.
Effect of Coloring Beverages on Color Stability of Single Shade Restorative Material: An In Vitro Study
Authors: Gamal Wael , Safwat Ahmed , Abdou Ahmed
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Color mismatch between tooth structure and restoration is a common reason for restoration replacement. This is due, in part, to the diverse chemical structure of both substrates, which display a different staining potential resulting in a significant color mismatch. AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluates the color change of single shade resin composite and compare it to fibrous-filled resin composite (FRc) after storage in coloring beverages. METHODS: Trapezoidal Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 30 premolars. Cavities on the buccal surface were restored with Omnichroma (ON) and palatal surface with FRc. Specimens were stored on water, tea, and coffee solutions for 24 h and 72 h. The color change was measured after each immersion time and statistically analyzed using three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (α = 0.05). RESULTS: Three-way ANOVA showed that different materials had a significant effect on both ΔL and Δa (p < 0.001). For both materials, ON in coffee showed the highest Δb values when compared to FRc for the same period. No difference between ON and FRc when stored in tea for 24 h and 72 h. CONCLUSION: Structural color property of ON can enhance the color perception of restoration to compensate for any color change after consuming coloring food and beverages.
