Bacteremia associated with irreversible hydrocolloid dental impressions.
A blood culturing technique was utilized to determine the incidence of bacteremia following the making of dental impressions with irreversible hydrocolloid (alginate). The results indicate that bacteremia is not produced by this impression procedure.

Sequential palatal expansion and premaxillary retrusion for cleft palate infants.
This article has described a technique to achieve maxillary orthopedics for the infant with a bilateral cleft lip, protruded premaxilla, and intact palate. Both maxillary expansion and retraction of the premaxilla can be accomplished with the same prosthesis.
Acrylic Resins↗
Acrylic resin blockout for interim removable partial dentures.
A technique using autopolymerizing acrylic resin as a blockout material has been described. This technique greatly simplifies the laboratory construction and insertion phases of the complex interim removable partial denture. It is not suggested that the acrylic blockout replace the wax blockout if a heat-cured denture base is not indicated. Wax should be used if a "sprinkle-on" autopolymerizing acrylic resin is used for the denture base.
