Kindler syndrome is a rare hereditary disorder, associated with skin fragility. The syndrome involves the skin and mucous membrane with radiological changes. The genetic defect has been identified on the short arm of chromosome 20. This report describes a 16-year-old patient with classical features like blistering and photosensitivity in childhood and the subsequent development of poikiloderma.

Mandibular dentures are considered dubious in terms of retention in resorbed ridges. Implant bearing overdentures can be a solution to the abovesaid issue. Various attachments in use offer variations in retention and maintenance. The aim was to assess long term durability and retention of implant supported overdenture attachments. Two implant bearing overdentures were placed in 20 patients. Magnet and ball attachment were used and dentures were evaluated over a period of three years at different time intervals. Difference of attachments’ performance between intervals was assessed with ANOVA test and Tukey HSD post hoc test and the level of significance was set at p<0.05. There was a decline in retention throughout research period in both categories; the ball and socket batch showed statistically significant (P<0.05) better retention force compared to that of magnet group. There was lesser decline in mean retention force of 10.97N±0.82 to 7.24N±0.903 from one month to three years in magnet attachment retained overdentures. Ball attachments offer better retentive forces than magnet category. Magnet bearing overdentures offer more durability in terms of retention.

Introduction: Full-mouth rehabilitation with fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) is a common treatment for patients requiring extensive oral rehabilitation. However, the longevity and complications associated with FDPs remain areas of clinical interest due to the high prevalence of technical and biological failures. This study aims to assess the longevity and complications associated with full-mouth FDPs over a five-year period. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed patient records over 5 years, focusing on the survival rates and complications of full-mouth rehabilitations using FDPs. Key parameters included prosthesis failure, biological complications (e.g. peri-implantitis), and technical complications (e.g., fractures). Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate complication rates across different FDP materials and patient profiles. Results: Over the five-year period, a total of 150 full-mouth FDP cases were analyzed. The overall survival rate of FDPs was 92%, with 15% of patients experiencing technical complications and 12% experiencing biological complications. Zirconia-based prostheses had a higher survival rate compared to metal-ceramic prostheses. A detailed statistical analysis is presented in two tables. Conclusion: Full-mouth rehabilitation with FDPs demonstrates a high survival rate over 5 years. However, both technical and biological complications remain significant concerns, emphasizing the need for long-term follow-up and maintenance.

Horizontal condylar guidance angles obtained using two different methods: the clinical protrusive interocclusal record method and the radiographic method using CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography). The key issue is the observed significant differences in the condylar guidance angles measured by the clinical method and those measured radiographically, with the radiographic measurements being consistently higher than the clinical ones. A total of 25 completely edentulous individuals were included, with condylar guidance angles measured clinically using the protrusive interocclusal record method and radiographically through CBCT in two formats. Results showed significant differences in the angles between the methods, with radiographic measurements being higher than clinical values. Strong correlations were observed between the clinical process and the CBCT panoramic and cross sectional views. The study concludes that CBCT measurements provide more precise condylar guidance angles than the protrusive interocclusal record method.
