A Special Tray is defined as “A custom made device prepared for a particular patient which is used to carry, confine and control an impression material while making an impression”.
It is used as a custom made Impression tray to take the Secondary or Final Impression to get the perfect impression which cannot be possible with pre fabricated Impression trays. The Special Tray is made to the dimensions of the particular patient and hence gives the perfect impression. It is used to take an impression with ZEO paste, Alginate, Elastomeric or sometimes even Plaster in some cases.

Hello Dr.
I recently had an injury to my four front teeth. One of the teeth fell out (about a quarter was left) but the other 3 were also damaged from the impact. I have had a root canal done on the one that was missing and then two others. One of the teeth seems to be okay as of now. Two teeth went a darkish colour and the root canal treatment was performed. Originally the dentist had thought about making 4 crows across the 4 front teeth (provided the one tooth needed a root canal). The new suggestion is to bleach the darkened teeth and then put a fill and a brace at the back of the teeth to help stabilize them as they still have slight movement in them. My dentist bills are covered so money is not the issue, is this a good option or should I be getting all the teeth crowned instead? Is the movement in the teeth the reason he doesnt want to crown them yet?

Hi Varun
Could I ask your permission to use one of your illustrations of the Class I cavity preparation? Thank you.
Hi, I am a dentistry student studying in second year of BDS. I am unable to find any authentic images of oral manifestations of avitaminoses & hypervitaminosis A. It would be a great help if you could tell me an authentic website or send me a few images if at all possible. I will give you credits for the images in the presentation.

Hey Varun, I’m doing a research about child abusal and neglect in Germany – Can I use some of your pictures in an article i have to write for promoting my study?
I have a whitish yellowish thing in my surgery site. It got extracted 48 hours ago because of the cavity. My wisdom tooth that got extracted was normal and easy to take out. I didn’t feel any pain at all since the surgery up to now. Ofcourse I am taking my pain medication. Dentist didn’t prescribe me any antibiotic. I am just worried that I might end up getting a dry socket because of its color and I don’t see any blod clot in the hole nor any bone inside neither. I’ve been rinsing listerine and salt and water as well. I don’t smoke. But after 2 hours of the surgery I rinsed my mouth with a warm water but I was being careful, I didn’t gargle it. I put water in my mouth to take out some blood in my tongue, didn’t spit it out and literally just let the water flow out of my mouth. But after that the blood was still coming out and I put another gauze pad for 30 minutes.

Am i getting a dry socket?

Dear
I would ask about something related to local anaesthetic solution.
What makes the solution become brown in colour instead of its original colour?
Does this related to expiration date or something else in the composition leads to discolouration?
The Mandibular Lateral is the smallest Decidious tooth in the oral cavity while the Maxillary Molar is the largest decidious or primary tooth.

Hi. I had very back molar extracted 5 days ago. I have had minor pain and inflammation in the gums and like a small area of pain and swelling in my jaw underneath the extraction site. The extraction site is grayish yellowish looking and possibly a very tiny hole in the middle. Hard to tell. Ibuprofen usually takes care of the pain for the most part. I’m nervous that I may be getting dry socket or infection. I never had this with any other extractions iv’e had in the past. Cant see my dentist till Monday.
High frenal attachment is seen when the tio of the frenum attaches to the top end of the alverolar ridge or more closer to the crevical region of the tooth.
Hi Dilakshan, it is a very important question which many tend to ignore – Arrested Caries is nothing but a Dental Caries Lesion is Remineralized and it appears to be in sync with normal tooth structure in terms of consistency. The Change in color to Black is due to the entrapment of organic debris and metallic ions within the Remineralized Enamel giving the Black color to it.
Arrested caries is highly resistant to future Caries infections due to remineralization and can be left as it is.

Hi Dr.Varun,
3 weeks ago, I got a mild pain,lil swelling around and inner below gum of second molar tooth, I rinsed with a slat water about a week but it did not go away. and it was more worsen, pus started to come when I push a swellen part of gum but no fever and only mild pain and tooth bite feeling with upper tooth. After a couple days i went to dentist, She took x-ray and permormed deep cleaning of that tooth, everything went normal after the deep cleaning except right below second molar tooth get collide with upper tooth, and she
Did not prescribe any medication. I was still feeling discomfort somwhow, after a week of deep cleaning of tooth, I felt again like before but not swellen gum and no fever but pus formation from the gum when i push with finger. I called to doc again and she prescribed penicillin 660 mg 3 times daily for 7 days in empty stomach. 24 hours of taking the first doses, I have not seen any difference of my symptoms, should I worry about it? Are root canal or tooth extraction final solution ? Pls help me doctor.
First thing – Never take an Antibiotic on an Empty stomach, always have some food and then take the Antibiotic. Secondly its just been 24 hours since you have taken the Antibiotic treatment, so you need to wait atleast 24-48 hour more for the effect to kick in.
One the infection comes down, the effect of pain killers is also increased.

Some cyst are lined by keratinised epithelium whereas some cyst such as radicular cyst and lateral periodontal cyst have non keratinised epithelium lining.My question is what difference do this keratinisation make in the cyst??Are they of any importance in epithelium lining??

Hi Dr. Varun,
Is a big hole and jaw/tooth pain normal after 9 days? )
Got my second molar out 9 days ago, I have a large hole on the bottom right side and my extraction tooth around it are mild sore and swelling still. Will the hole close itself or am I going to need to get restitched? There is no puss or odor just uncomfortable mild pain. Is this normal??how long does it take to heal? I am gargleing with Chlorhexidine 2 times daily and i also use salt warm water two times daily. Pls help
The hole takes anywhere from 3 weeks to a month to close completely, there is nothing you need to do apart from maintaining good oral hygiene. This means to gargle after every meal as food particles tend to get stuck in the hole / Socket and this can be the cause of your mild discomfort.
Deepak
Thank you so much for your quick response.
Best Regards,

Hi,
My PCP prescribed me an antibiotic(Doxycycline) because i’m allergic to penicillin for a tooth infection. I took the first does Wednesday, but here it is Friday and I still have the pain. Is there something else she can prescribe me until I can get to the dentist in a few weeks?
Tetracyclines or Doxycycline is the drug of choice in patients with Pencillin allergy, it is effective but acts slowly and must show its effect after 3-5 doses.
Please describe the special tray and what are the reasons for construction of special tray

I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks.
Brownish discoloration is seen in Proparacaine if not refrigerated and the temperature increases.
It is common to appear white after 24 hours, nothing to worry about until you feel pain
It is normal for a traumatic extraction with long roots. Make sure you follow all the post extraction instructions without fail.
Thank you
