Dentures have been shown to decrease the efficiency of the chewing process, initiate additional bone loss and often experience inadequate retention (Knowles, 1958). Furthermore, dentures may require additional support, which affects the healthy teeth that are ...

Every member of the surgical team has to stop any kind of activity before starting a procedure and take part in the process. Members of the team may include surgeon, student(s), ...

Cochlear implants are very instrumental in ear care. These developments are enabled by advances in technology; hence, allowing medics to offer the world of sound, music, and speech to people who would otherwise spend their entire or large part of their lives in soundless cocoons.

However, this eminent success in cochlear implant surgery has not really watered down the discourse surrounding the effects and implications of cochlear implants. Particularly, there has been ...
