   Abstract:	The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of miconazole gel delivered on a custom thermoformed tray as an overnight drug holder appliance in denture stomatitis treatment, in comparison with classic application as recommended by manufacturer. The investigation included 44 upper denture wearers, diagnosed with denture stomatitis. The experimental group (n = 22) applied 2% miconazole gel in custom tray for overnight wear. The control group (n = 22) applied 2,5 ml of the same drug 4 times a day in their mouth. Intensity of infl ammation and infection was evaluated. The clinical tests that were used were: infl ammation intensity according to Newton, extent of palatal mucosal erythematous surface below denture, digital thermometry, and swabs for Candida albicans cultures. Oldness and hygiene status of dentures were recorded, as well as habit of overnight denture wearing. The investigation revealed that denture stomatitis healed faster and better in the experimental group compared to control group. Greater Candida albicans culture colony count reduction was observed in experimental group, which suggests more effi cient elimination of Candida albicans from the mouth with novel method. This method motivates patients to adhere to treatment and appliance hygiene instructions. Custom splint as occlusive drug delivery showed to be more effective and more convenient for the patients than the same antimicotic drug, classically delivered, which might be clinically relevant in treatment of denture stomatitis.

   MeSH:	TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY EARACHE ANXIETY DENTURES
   Abstract:	Often wrong judgment of unspecifi c otological symptoms, caused by some types of temporomandibular disorders, is based on the connection in the embryonic development of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the ear. This is a report of a female patient who was previously treated by the ear-nose-throat specialist because of otalgia, but it was concluded that she had some TMJ pathology. Clinical examination and magnet resonance of the TMJs confi rmed anterior slide of the disc. Since the patient has fi ve-year-old complete dentures, new ones were fabricated. The symptoms recede, and for the patient the most important thing was that the pain disappeared. With regards to her age, acquired anodontia and impossible restitutio ad integrum treatment, she was instructed how to support the painless functional status of her masticatory system.

   MeSH:	DENTURES GERIATRICS PROSTHODONTICS
   Abstract:	The current trends in Prosthodntics will doubtless continue to develop. Can these trends, as regards central areas of prosthodontics, then be identified as community aspects, biological apects, biomechanical aspects and quality of life aspects? We can consider Prosthodontics in a micro perspective- the treatment of the individual patient or oral cavity or in a macro perspective - the use of prosthodontics on a population basis, or even on a global basis. Can we expect the developing countries to catch up with theindustrialised countries, and can we expect the highly developed countries to have less need of prosthodontic services during the new millenium just started? Many other questions can be raised when we try to look into the future:• Will the speciality of Prosthodontics develop and be approved in more countries, and will the need for these specialists increase or decrease?• Will the character of Prosthodontics as an academicdiscipline change?• Will EPA still be an important society in the future?• Will mankind survive the next millenium shift in 1000 years’ time?We can dream about the far future, but perhaps it is wiser to be realistic and only try to make forecasts for the next few decades - which seems difficult enough in itself. Are there any high mountains to climb or deep ravines to cross before we meet again in Geneva in September 2003?

   MeSH:	DENTURES GERIATRICS
   Abstract:	The oral condition of edentulous patients today appears to be different from that of 30 years ago. In particular, the alveolar bone is highly resorbed, the oral mucosa is thiner, and saliva flow and oral perception are deteriorating. About 30 years ago, it was proposed that soft denture base materials should be tisue-friendly, and in fact, a lot of products of this kind have come to meet this requirement. On the other hand, in clinics, rigid materials have been used in most cases because they have given a high priority to durability. This seemed appropriate as long as the patients are in good health. However, as the number of aged persons has increased, more and more patients have become unable to cope with the hard material. Under these circumstances, soft lining materials are highly desirable. This was previously commonly denied because of the poor quality of soft materials, -but, modern soft lining materials have recently become much better, so when they are used appropriately, they are much more effective then in the past. It is confirmed that the application of soft liners having viscoelastic properties would lead to the most marked improvement in masticatory function. The improvement in masticatory function compared with hard resin was found to be in the order: acrylic resilient>silicone resilient>acrylic tisue conditioner. The results suggest that the use of materials with higher tan δ (loss tangent, viscoelastic property) and G’ (shear storage modulus, hardness) provides the most optimum masticatory function for the patients requiring the provision of soft liner on their dentures. Our goal is to tansfer the dentures into the museumduring the 21st century. Until we achieve this, soft liners will fill gap between denture and tissue, and between satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the dentures. Although, it is true that edentulism is decreasing, I still believe as well that the soft option is useful and can help to satisfy edentulous patients for 2 or 3 more decades.
