Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, grade: A, Teerthanker Mahaveer University (Teerthanker Mahaveer University), course: MDS, language: English, abstract: It is important to understand how a very common prevalent condition of tooth wear (TW) impacts a person's day-to-day oral health. An emerging concept of measuring the parameter of oral healthrelated quality of life (OHRQoL), which evidently impacts the daily living of a person, makes it practical to examine the correlation between TW and OHRQoL. For measuring the OHRQoL, we can apply various methods, and the most effective is the use of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) questionnaire. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to assess the correlation between TW and the OHRQoL among adult patients attending a dental college and hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional research was performed on patients who visited the outpatient department of Teerthanker Mahaveer Dental College and Research Centre, Moradabad, India. Initially, the sociodemographic details of patients, including their oral hygiene and dietary habits, were recorded. This step was followed by the assessment of TW using the Smith and Knight TW index. Then, the translated version of the OHIP questionnaire was filled up, in which the patients were asked to rate each question on a Likert scale, with five points ranging from 0 to 4, where 0 = never, 1 = hardly ever, 2 =occasionally, 3 = fairly often, and 4 = very often.

Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, grade: 1, Shri Guru Gobind Singhji Institute of Engineering and Technology (Shree Guru Gobind Singh Tricentenary University), language: English, abstract: Several materials including biomaterials applied in varied aspects of Prosthodontics have demonstrated significant results since the advent of nanotechnology came into existence. Though, because the implementation of nanomaterials in prosthodontic s has tremendously improved several properties like modulus of elasticity, hardness of surface, polymerization shrinkage as well as loading property. Several nanocomposites made up of traditional metals or ceramics or resin etc. are now used extensively in prosthodontics. Most recent developments, technologies and advancements in terms of biomaterials and nanomaterials used in prosthodontics have been covered explicitly in this literature review. This review not only provides an extensive overview of the most recent pertinent discoveries, but it should also serve as a major impetus for additional study in terms of this topic. In prosthodontics, both biomaterials as well as nanomaterials have shown to be essential to the advancement of both fundamental research and operational technology. It illustrates how the numerous characteristics of prosthodontic materials, such as modulus of elastic modulus, the level of hardness of surface, shrinkage from polymerization, and filler loading, can all be significantly improved following the use of nanotechnology to reduce their scales from micrometer to nanometer size.
