PURPOSE
Heavy metals are highly toxic and considered as a serious threat to human health
and the environment. The increase of heavy metals in the environment is largely as a
result of industrialization. As a result of this problem, the need to remove and recovery
these heavy metals have been on the increase. One of these heavy metal is cadmium that
is hazardous and non-biodegradable which can be found on several industries like
mining, textiles, paints and etc. In line with this, the researchers are trying to find the
most economical and environment friendly solution to this problem and that is by the use
of sunflower powder as a natural absorbent. This upon research has this potential to do
so.
LITERATURE SURVEY
FACTORS TO CONSIDER
For the success of the experiment it must be supported by:
1. Availability of facility to conduct the test for the effectiveness of sunflowers
2. Availability/productivity of sunflowers in the locality.
3. Industries that produces wastewater containing cadmium
BENEFICIARIES
The research is intended to help:
1. The community affected by the contamination
2. The industry/plant that requires such
3. The environment and the organization concerning to the environment

PURPOSE
The purpose of the study is to produce sample of acrylic dentures from oyster
shells with addition of calcium carbonate from eggshells. Acrylic dentures are costefficient compared to other types of partial dentures and can be relined as well. Some
disadvantages of this kind of dentures is its slightly weaker strength and tendency to
easily break due to its irregular shape. Using oyster shells and eggshells which are very
rich in calcium carbonate, the project is intended to produce dentures with comparative
features with local acrylic dentures.
LITERATURE SURVEY
Acrylic dentures are usually the most cost effective and can be made within a
short period of time. One of the most important components of acrylic dentures is its
calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is abundant in nature. The most commonly used
source of calcium carbonate for supplements is oyster shells. Although many salts
dissolve in water, calcium carbonate does so only to a very insignificant degree, which is
why shells of aquatic creatures do not dissolve. In an acidic solution, calcium carbonate
dissolves readily; calcium carbonate supplements can provide calcium to the body
because stomach acids dissolve it easily. Eggshells contain the perfect amount of the ideal
substances for healing cavities massive amounts of calcium and 27 other minerals.
Eggshells provide the necessary amount of calcium to remineralize teeth resulting to less
plaque build-up thus whiter result and stronger enamel.
FACTORS TO CONSIDER
For the success of the research, it must be supported by:
1. Effectiveness of oyster shells and eggshells as sources of calcium carbonate and
denture whiteners respectively
2. Source of raw materials
BENEFACTORS
This research is intended to help:
1. The dentistry community
2. Denture consumers
