Provisional restoration for a patient with cleft lip and palate: a clinical report.

A method for designing and fitting a provisional restoration for a patient with a cleft lip and palate was described. The provisional prosthesis provides an alternative treatment option that allows the dentist to plan the definitive restoration while providing the patient with a temporary but esthetic and functional restoration.

A flashing-light method for recording centric relation.

A flashing-light system has been described which provides a simple method for ensuring equalized pressure in recording the relationship of the mandible to the maxillae. The wires that protrude from the mouth do not appear to create any discomfort or distraction during the procedures. This method tends to be more comfortable than extraoral or intraoral tracing techniques. The method may create patient fear because an electrical device is used in the oral cavity. In addition, if the metal surfaces (pins and cups) are not fully coated with wax, there may be contact with adjacent soft tissue, which creates an electric sensation.

Auricular compression stent.

An auricular compression stent has been developed for maintaining uniform and adjustable compression after surgical removal of earlobe keloids. The two-component device is made from heat-polymerized acrylic resin and assembled with nylon screws.

A technique has been described to show how a deviated midline, missing lateral incisor, and diastema were corrected with a cosmetic overdenture for a patient who is a professionl model. Irreversible procedures were unnecessary on an otherwise acceptable and functional dentition.
