Camper's line has been used by many dentists as a reference in determining the plane of occlusion in edentulous patients. This article describes an instrument that provides the dentist with a clear and accurate assessment of the occlusal plane in relation to Camper's line.
A technique for using a denture tooth to replace a broken facing on an RPD is described. The technique is simple, inexpensive, and easily accomplished in the dental office with minimum time.
Pulpal reactions to three dental materials, Scutan, a self-curing resin, and zinc oxide-eugenol cement, were comparable. The pulpal reactions to Scutan appeared to be milder than those to a self-curing resin or to zinc oxide-eugenol cement.

Microwave sterilization techniques have previously been discussed in the literature, but there is need for information regarding the stability of acrylic resins subjected to these techniques. The purpose of this investigation was to measure and determine the potential influence of microwave sterilization on the dimensional stability of polymerized acrylic resin denture base materials. Uniform samples of previously heat-polymerized, autopolymerized, and visible-light-polymerized acrylic resins were measured for changes in weight and length before and after microwave exposure. All three acrylic resin materials maintained excellent stability; all materials had shrinkage values in the range of 0.02% to 0.03%. This is clinically insignificant compared to polymerization shrinkage, which averages 0.2%.
