Backgrounds: Advanced maternal age is defined as pregnancy that occurs at more 35 years old. This condition is considered as high risk pregnancy due to its close association with maternal and perinatal complications. This study was performed to reveal the data of advanced maternal age and its complications. Methods: This study was a descriptive retrospective study performed by taking data of advanced maternal age in Sitti Fatimah and Pertiwi Mother and Child Hospital in Makassar in 2015 – 2016. Results: There were 2,342 (15.7%) with advanced maternal age which most frequently occur at 35 - 39 years old group (74.6%) and mostly were multiparous. Hypertensive disorders were the most frequent pregnancy complications at older age comprising of 33.1% cases. Premature delivery, low birth weight, and fetal growth disorders were the most frequent fetal complications comprising of 17.7%14.1% and 10.2% of cases respectively. 88.9% newborn had a 5 minutes APGAR score > 8. Conclusions: Advanced maternal age was closely related to pregnancy and neonatal complications, such as hypertensive disorders, preterm delivery and low birth weight.

The aim: to describe a simple method to increase the inter-arch distance for patient with decreased inter-arch distance. Methods.The study done in the dentistry college of Babylon University at Prosthodontics clinic, the treatment plan was explained to the patient, he was informed of the benefit of this treatment and informed consent was obtained . The following cases report describe the rehabilitation of a patient with decreased inter-arch distance and worn dentition with interim acrylic partial denture to correct reduced inter-arch distance. This study include four patients, three with acrylic RPD and one of them construct complete over-denture. Diagnostic casts were made and mounted on a semi-adjustable articulator with face bow record and centric relation record. Theconclusion.Limitation in interocclusal space is a common problem in prosthetic dentistry. Several approaches have been proposed to solve this problem. The treatment presented here are two different treatment lines used, acrylic bite raising which consider as a primary step to the definite prosthesis. While the other one treated with complete overdenture to improve retention and increase the inter-arch distance with improve aesthetic, and muscle tone with reversible, non-invasive, and relatively inexpensive treatment.
