Oral sedation with Triazolam or Midazolam oral syrup in conjunction with the use of Papoose boards for physical restraint was probably one of the more contentious approaches to patient management.
1. Engage him in some topic of special interest 2. Distract the patient by asking him to breathe deeply through nose 3. Hypnosis can also help in some instances 4. Krol suggested raising the right foot
Prosthodontic management
1. Avoid unduly overextended trays ,especially in posterior palatal region 2. Avoid loading excess material onto the tray 3. Have the patient sit in an upright position leaning forward with the head tilted slightly downwards 4. Use mouth temperature waxes impression material
MARBLE TECHNIQUE Singer developed a common sense approach to the problem of accustoming hopeless gaggers to complete denture prostheses. First visit - Five round, multicolored, glass marbles, approx inch in diameter. Second visit pt assured that he can wear dentures. Pharmacological Management1. Local anesthetic gels can reduce some of the sensations. 2. Antihistamines, sedatives, tranquilizers have all been tried with varying results
Third visit
Fourth visit lower denture base ( training bead) + 3 marbles Fifth visit - maxillary denture base inserted . Sixth visit maxillary rims placed + further treatment carried on.
Conditions 4: Xerostomia
Use of saliva substitues / lozenges/ salivary stimulants like Cevimeline ,pilocarpine and bethanechol . Amifostine delivered as a daily three-minute intravenous infusion.
Final impressions with a free flowing material, such as light-bodied polyvinylsiloxane or polysulfide impression material.
PRECAUTION DELAY routine dental treatment in pts with active radiation / chemo therapy 4-12 months.
Tray correction
Secondary impressions
Reinsert the tray and apply a mix of impression plaster over the flabby tissue, which lies in the window.
Recovered impression
The periphery of this compound impression is trimmed and border molding is done with green stick until it is retentive in the mouth.
The compound over the ridge is then cut until the tray and the holes are exposed.
Heavy digital pressure to transfer as much of the load as possible to the peripheral parts of the denture bearing area.
The impression recorded mucostatic over the crest of the ridge. mucocompressive on the peripheral parts.
Condition 8 :Flat (atrophic) mandibular ridge covered with atrophic mucosa. (McCord and Tyson)
The impression medium here is an admix of 3 parts by weight of (red) impression compound to 7 parts by weight of greenstick; the admix is created by placing the constituents into hot water and kneading with vaselined, gloved fingers.
FUNCTIONAL IMPRESSION USING A CHAIR SIDE RESILIENT LINING MATERIAL ( LOCAL AREAS OF MODIFICATION)
NEUTRAL ZONE
The neutral zone is that area within the potential denture space where the forces of the tongue pressing outward are neutralized by forces of the cheeks and lips pressing inward. The technique of recording the denture space is sometimes known as piezographics( record shapes by means of pressure)
Technique
Plaster index
Cylindrical Metal Pins Are Inserted In The Two Halves Of Special Tray With A Flexible Plate Holding The Pins & Two halves Of Tray Together
Locked at the handle region with steel pins into tubings and acrylic hook into bent handles.

MAXILLOFACIAL PROSTHODONTICS
SPECIAL TRAY WITH SPACER & BORDERS MOULDED WITH LOW FUSING IMPRESSION COMPOUND
AFTER REMOVAL OF SPACER & PLACEMENT OF ESCAPE HOLES,THE DEFECT AREA IS RECORDED WITH PUTTY ELASTOMERIC IMPRESSION MATERIAL
Conclusion
The choice of impression material & impression technique along with the Experience of the clinician play a key role in obtaining desired results. The dentist should be able to cope with the conditions of basal tissues as presented by each patient and try to make the best impression s possible even in the most compromised conditions.
