It also offers esthetic enrichment which eventually affects the social and psychological needs. At the same time it has financial implications too. In present study, an attempt was made to study the priorities of prosthodontic treatment needs among 36 patients from elderly age group belonging to a low socioeconomic class from Lucknow (U.P.). The treatment needs were assessed on functional, social, financial and psychological dimensions. It was observed that the functional needs and psychological needs were more pronounced than the social and financial needs. Assessment of priorities of treatment revealed that functional needs had a high priority. Assessment of treatment gaps through graphical modeling revealed that during a short follow up (at 15 days), the functional needs showed a low performance. The order of concern for social, psychological and...

The experiment was conducted under the optimum favorable condition at Mushroom Production Unit, Holy Cross K.V.K. Hazaribag. The data were recorded in term of time taken for total harvesting days, cost of cultivation, days of watering, yield and B:C ratio also. The ground nut straw was found to be the most suitable locally subtract for Plurostus spp. Production in terms of yield (2.116 Kg/ 5 kg Bundle) and cost of cultivation was also minimum 22 Rs/ Bundle and total harvesting day were 21 day and B:C Ratio was also maximum 1:6-5 of Banana subtract was found to be next best treatment (2.105kg/5kg Bundle) as for as the total cropping days were to 55 days comparatively maximum to all the substrate and cost of cult...

One of the factors contributing for the increasing use of base-metal alloys is the increasing and high cost factor of noble metals. Although numerous materials have been tried since the recent past, Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr) alloys still form the most commonly used ones because of the numerous advantages they offer. Titanium alloys are also significantly being used in this field because of their high resistance strength and high corrosion resistance. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the flexure strength and fatigue resistance of clasps made up of CoCr alloys and Nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys. We evaluated the retentive forces of CoCr and NiTi clasps two different sizes engaging retentive undercuts of different depths (0.25 and 0.50 mm). Mandibluar second premolar was prepared to frame the prosthesis for missing mandibular first and second molar. A total of 50 cl...
