A facial impression technique that uses a thermoplastic splint material as a custom tray has been described. The use of this technique simplifies a time-consuming and cumbersome procedure for both the patient and the dentist.
A fixed prosthodontic curriculum survey was mailed to 60 U.S. dental schools; 42 surveys were returned. The results were compared with those of Part III of the study. Comparisons and their implications were discussed.
A separating disk is used to make proximal cuts and cuts on the underside surface of the cast. The dies can be recovered without damage to the margins.
An office technique has been presented for repairing perforations in complete veneer gold crowns. This technique eliminates the need for platinum foil and soldering investments, thereby simplifying the procedure and making it much less time consuming.

A technique has been described for fabrication of a cranioplasty prosthesis. The primary advantage of this technique is the duplication of the altered working cast. The technique also permits excellent reproduction of cranial contours and a positive seat of the prosthesis on the outer table of the skull. The disadvantage is the time involved in the duplicating procedure.

The authors describe a course in substance abuse given to sophomore medical students with the intention of positively influencing their attitudes toward substance-abusing patients and their treatment. Clinical problem solving and small group discussion were emphasized in addition to field trips. By pretest and posttest measures, significant positive changes were obtained in student attitudes: they reported feeling less upset when they encountered alcoholics, "hard" drug abusers, "soft" drug abusers, compulsive smokers, and obese overeaters as well as having a more positive view of the physician's role in the treatment of substance dependence. Personal experience with alcohol and other drugs was shown to have an influence on attitude changes.
