Lasers and Microimplants in orthodontics
Lasers now are gaining popularity in orthodontic patients. To learn about different types of lasers and their application you can read very useful info on this link http://www.dental-resources.com/dental-lasers.html
Diode lasers are now increasingly being used for frenectomies, gingivoplasty, exposure of impacted teeth and routine disinfection after oral prophylaxis. Beauty of laser is that the procedure is fast and bloodless and makes bonding of attachments fast and easy. To see videos of clinical procedures and power points CLICK HERE.
In a interesting study published in Feb 2008 issue of Angle orthodontists on lasers it was found that CO2 lasers helped ortho patients. Study found that Significant pain reductions were observed with laser treatment from immediately after insertion of separators through day 4, but no differences from the nonirradiated control side were noted thereafter. No significant difference was noted in the amount of tooth movement between the irradiated and nonirradiated group. Full Paper HERE
Call it Microimplant screw anchorage, Skeletal achorage (SAS) or Temporary Anchorage devices (TAD), name does not matter, but it sure has revolutionised orthodontic treatment and opened treatment possibilities and modalities that did not exist so far. Many cases that we refused can now be taken up for treatment. One particular area which is fascinating is intrusion of molars in open bite cases. You can learn a lot and see different cases here
Start using Microimplants today and you will enjoy doing your ortho. email icdr@hotmail.com for more or if you have any questions or if you want to learn hands on.
Dairy products promote perio health
Consumers have long known that including dairy in their diets can help maintain healthy bones and even help promote weight loss. However, a recent study published in the January issue of the Journal of Periodontology, the official publication of the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), demonstrated that routine intake of dairy products may also help promote periodontal health.
