The need and value to predict how dentists learn about new information after they graduate from dental school is important to educators. The results of a simple questionnaire designed to determine how dentists became aware of and later learned about the RBP has been presented. The authors believe that CDE should play a vital role in providing dentists with the awareness and knowledge of new dental technology.
The results of this study indicated that some new patterns are emerging in computer usage by dentists. The majority in this study reported utilizing micro- and minicomputers rather than commercial services. The increasing acceptance of personal computers and their decreasing costs will certainly contribute to increased utilization and the development of additional applications.

Potassium aluminum sulfate, aluminum chloride, and 8% racemic epinephrine did not demonstrate practical differences, although potassium aluminum sulfate produced fewer inflammatory changes than the other agents. 2. It appears that factors other than the chemical agent (e.g., physiologic differences in patients) may play a role in the amount of gingival inflammation induced. 3. Additional studies using a larger sample size and an untreated control site should be undertaken.
SEM studies indicate that the control alloy, Minigold, WLW, and Litecast metals presented similar results in relation to marginal fit when proper techniques are followed. Clinical evaluation based on the criteria of gingival irritation, patient sensitivity, and abrasion demonstrated no statistically significant differences between the casting alloys tested and the control. The control alloy had significantly fewer restorations with tarnish and corrosion than either WLW or Litecast. There was no significant difference between the control alloy and Minigold in terms of tarnish and corrosion.
This article describes a technique for the delivery of complete dentures which allows the patient to adapt to a mandibular prosthesis and, at the same time, to functionally make a final refitted mandibular impression.

The need and value to predict success and failure in treatment of denture patients are great. The psychological and emotional factors involved are just as important as if not more important than the oral and systemic findings. The value of a simple questionnaire for the edentulous and immediate denture patients has been presented. The authors believe that all schools should present advanced information on the psychological aspects of dental care.
Thirty-six patients were examined by two prosthodontistis after a mandibular vestibuloplasty with skin grafting to determine whether there was a significant improvement in these patients ability to tolerate their dentures. Previous published reports have been made only by oral surgeons. The results indicate that this procedure is a reliable treatment modality for patients who complain of looseness, poor masticatory function, and pain.
