Lasers in Dental office

Lasers are very useful in dental treatment. Clinical advantages and patient benefits will see more and more clinics adopting this new technology in years to come, are you Ready ? CO2, Nd:YAG, Argon, Er:YAG, Er,Cr:YSGG, Diode etc, so many different types of lasers, which one is best for use in dental office ? The unique characteristics of lasers make it possible to perform treatment modalities beyond those available via conventional techniques; these modalities include ablation of biological tissues, hemostasis, and pain relief. Lasers are being used with greater frequency in dentistry to treat both soft and hard tissues.

Optical coherence tomography ? (OCT)

OCT is a noninvasive and nondestructive method for imaging the microstructural detail of oral tissue in situ, providing clinicians with quantitative and qualitative information. It is capable of evaluating the health of hard and soft tissue by providing a cross-sectional “optical biopsy” of tissue up to 3 mm in depth from the surface. The resultant imaging has an axial resolution of 1–10 µ, capturing structural details not possible with x-rays (and without the use of ionizing radiation). OCT imaging has the potential to detect and diagnose very early stages of disease in teeth, periodontal tissue, and mucosa. Early demineralization, remineralization, recurrent caries, tooth and restorative failures, root canals, periodontal disease, soft tissue dysplasias, and precancerous lesions can be imaged and monitored in real time on a computer monitor.

Distalize Your Molars EASY way

This works by use of Miniscrew implant supported distalization system (MISDS). This case report illustrates the use of MISDS to distalize the maxillary molars and retract the anterior teeth, providing noncompliance, nonextraction, and efficient approach for the orthodontic treatment of patients with Class II malocclusion, which is initially invisible. This report is published in AJODO in Nov 2008 issue.

You may not be aware we Indians started using Mini implants much before it became popular in western world. Indian mini implants (titanium) are much cheaper and have the same function as all other. See the case below which was distalised / corrected in 6 months. To order or see more CLICK HERE

Dental erosion linked to dysmenorrhea.
Department of Restorative Dentistry, Temple University, School of Dentistry, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. In Gen Dent Nov. 2008 This article examines the case of a woman with hard dental tissue loss that was similar to perimolysis caused by bulimia nervosa; however, the patient's health history, signs and symptoms, and dietary habits refuted any eating disorder. All extrinsic causes and the majority of intrinsic causes were examined carefully and eliminated. The patient had undergone endometrial surgery 32 years earlier to remove a tumor, a procedure that was believed to be unrelated to the dental professionals' realm; however, a detailed patient history revealed severe pain associated with abdominal cramps that were in concert with the menstrual cycle.

Over a period of nearly three decades, these cramps frequently caused forceful purging of stomach contents during episodes of dysmennorhea. The mechanism, force, direction, and frequency of purging closely resembled that of bulimia, producing similar (if not identical) consequential damage to the dental hard tissues. The process of identifying, differentially diagnosing, and finally determining the etiology of the erosion lesions was based on an in-depth knowledge of systemic disorders, recognition of various characteristics and causes of erosion lesions, and an accurately detailed systemic and dental health history.
