We study the quark flavor violating Higgs boson decay h → b̄sþ bs̄ in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). The decay is analyzed first in a model-independent approach and second in the minimal flavor violating (MFV) constrained MSSM. The experimental constraints from B-physics observables (BPO) and electroweak precision observables (EWPO) are also calculated and imposed on the parame...

Currently available experimental data from electroweak precision observables (EWPO), B-physics observables (BPO) and cosmological data can be combined to extract the preferred value of SUSY mass scales. We review recent results on the predictions of the masses of supersymmetric particles and the indirect determination of the lightest Higgs boson mass. Special emphasis is put on models going bey...

The most challenging job for a prosthodontist is to rehabilitate the partial edentulous patient especially distal extension cases where fabrication of fixed prosthesis is quite impossible without using implants. Several conventional and contemporary treatment options were available for treating long span edentulous situations. For such cases ,attachment retained cast partial dentures would be t...

OBJECTIVE Acrylic resin denture bases undergo dimensional changes during polymerization. Injection molding techniques are reported to reduce these changes and thereby improve physical properties of denture bases. The aim of this study was to compare dimensional changes of specimens processed by conventional and injection-molding techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS SR-Ivocap Triplex Hot resin wa...

PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to: (1) determine patient satisfaction with implant-supported mandibular overdentures using magnet, bar-clip, and ball-socket attachments; and (2) assess the relation between maximum bite force and patient satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a cross-over clinical trial, 18 edentulous patients with mandibular denture complaints received two mandibular...

The lack of retention in complete dentures is a common complaint. The incorporation of the tooth supported overdenture in prosthodontics offers improvements related to patient satisfaction and masticatory capacity compared to the conventional complete denture. Retention of the roots of one or more teeth for overdenture offers the patient a lot of advantages like better stability, proprioception...

PURPOSE There is a lack of evidence to recommend a particular type of posterior occlusal form for conventional complete dentures. The type of posterior occlusal scheme can affect complete denture stability, retention, and patient satisfaction. The objective of this study was to compare patient satisfaction to three types of complete denture occlusion using a randomized, crossover controlled tri...

Background and Aim: There is lack of information regarding the effect of different denture cleansing solutions on the retention of attachments. This study aimed to as-sess the effect of denture cleansing solutions on the retention of Dalbo-Plus and Loca-tor attachment systems. Materials and Methods: This study evaluated 160 attachments including 80 Locator and 80 Dalbo-Plus attachment systems....

Teeth loss is a traumatic experience. It disturbs the total integrity of masticatory system. Its successful rehabilitation should address range biomechanical problems, tolerances, and perceptions. Precision attachment-supported over Dentures with two teeth retained in canine region predictable treatment option edentulous mandible rather than conventional complete denture as it offers increased ...
