Imaging Technology – Making Smiles Last

Administrator — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 17:54:28 +0000

Imaging technology is one of the most used when it comes to dental procedures for it allows a view not only of the teeth but of the underlying bone structure. So advances with cone beam imaging was a welcome sight indeed, allowing better treatment for previously general problems. It gave dentists the ability to prescribe the best personalized treatment for each and every patient depending on their needs without the tooth-pulling of yesterday.
It lessens the risk of too much radiation compared to CT scans and it allows more detailed images of the teeth and underlying structures. Success and failure are balanced out with proper imaging and treatment thanks to better views of our pearly whites.

Tooth Decay’s Demise

An end to tooth decay is a dream dentists have been looking for ever since the first tooth extraction. And guess what? It may soon come to an end for researchers may have cracked several leads on how to stop the process from beginning in the first place. Several types of bacteria live on human teeth and for them to do so, they need chemicals that allows them to attach themselves to the hard surface of our teeth.
Take these enzymes away and bacteria looses it’s ability to grab a foothold preventing tooth decay instantly.
Better oral care products that contain compounds that mimic human saliva) that cleanses the mouth better. All of these may soon come to a tube of toothpaste or gum near you, leaving us smiling from birth till old age with all our “Pearly whites”!

Nano-Interface Technology – India Style

India is one of the leading countries with the best dental implantation technology and research according to dentists and patients alike. Their pioneering introduction of Nano-interfaced implants that utilize Nano-materials has solidified the place of Indian manufacturers as one of the premier sources of the latest and best dental implant and care supplies in the world which use dot be monopolized by Europe and America. The products coming out of the country are so innovative that dentists cannot disregard their significance if it were to result in more smiles that last longer for their patients.

NTI, the tiny plastic Insert that is Changing lives

NTI, or Nocturnal inhibition of Trigeminal nocIceptionis a plastic device that prevents the teeth from grinding and clenching during sleep that looks somewhat like invisible braces only smaller. The device is FDA approved and is available in many dental offices as a solution for migraines and excessive teeth clenching during sleep. The plastic insert is worn before sleeping to alleviate teeth grinding which stresses muscles of the jaw that are known to cause migraines. This has proven to be the solution for many migraines that eluded standard approaches and treatments and have changed the lives of many sufferers. The muscles of the jaw are rooted in the temples, over stressing them results in headaches and migraines that are debilitating.

More on Dental Implant Complications

A dental implant can fail due to one of several factors which may prevent a stable bond from forming allowing the implant to move around in a dental term called clinical mobility. Clinical mobility is the failure of the normal mechanics which ensures osseointegration of an implant into the bone preventing proper stability thus allowing the implant and other structures it supports to move around. This can cause more damage for the soft tissue becomes inflamed and can even have an infection spreading into the jawbone itself defeating the procedure that has been done. Another problem would be occlusal overload by which too much implants has weakened the jaw whereby preventing further improvements to be done.

NobelPharma Direct Implants Failing Considerably (Part 2)

These implants have shown that there were considerable failures with loose and even patients coming in with total implant failure. These can be corrected with follow-up implanting using standard techniques that are more in use by the general practitioner. Their product was so highly publicized that they hailed it as the next big step in dental implant technology without the proper clinical trials. The reason for the failure of their product is that there were not enough specifics in the instruction guides that were included in their Nobel Direct Implant product. They have now revised the said packaging and have initiated an immense re-education of all practitioners through seminars or literature they send to them to avoid future failures and possibly utter failures.

NobelPharma Direct Implants Failing Considerably (Part 1)

The Direct Implant technology from Nobel is meeting criticism due to a considerable failure rate that has patients with loose implants years after they were first introduced into the market. The arrogance of the company has also been criticized for they began talking only to specialists and not with the general dental practitioners who they have now realized as the life-blood of their business. Direct implants work without the necessity of tissue trimming whereas standard implant technology had successive drilling and tissue moved back to allow proper spacing and growth. The Nobel Implants were screwed into place without the need of excessive operations and left there to accept the abutment and crown successively.

The Nobel Implant product line has again received a blow from one of the clinics that have been conducting studies to the effectiveness and possible success rates of the said implant technology. The Nobel system has been getting more and more criticism from general practitioners who have steadily been sending in reports that failures are on the rise and that the product has some design flaws that should be corrected. The Nobel Company has responded with statements and notes that failure is more on the side of the implantologist and not the product but dentists refute that specifying the fact that they have followed all standard protocol with respect to the implantation of their products. We will be following future developments on this issue for there are hundreds of thousands of people all over the world with this type of implant that may be at risk of implant failure.

Immediate dental implantation after Extraction

Avatar — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 10:47:17 +0000

There is some data that suggests there is a benefit for doing an implant procedure right after the tooth is extracted which is shown to increase osseointegration. The timing is the most critical factor and the implant should be inserted as soon as the tooth is pulled out improving chances of biointegration of the selected implant. Biointegration is the process by which implants (which are usually made of titanium) are placed into the bone which then forms a sort of plug around it. Using an electron microscope, researchers have found that the stability of the implant is only as much as the amount of bone that has grown between the space of the extracted tooth and the implant. The microscopic analyses of implant procedures also shows that the implant is not totally embraced by the bony tissue rather than a gap which is filled by the oxidized titanium (which is inert and does not affect the human body) which causes the adhesion strength required for success.

Nano-Technology – The Next big Thing in Dental Implants

Avatar — Mon, 10 May 2010 10:45:19 +0000

Researchers are beginning to investigate the possibility of using Nano-biomaterials as possible compounds to coat dental implants. These materials may speed up osseointegration of these implants into the bone structure leaving them as tough as the natural teeth we are born with. The major problem associated with dental implants is that they take quite sometime for them to be absorbed into the bony sub-structure of the jaw which is needed for stability of the implant itself. Nano-Biomaterials being natural may prove to be better than current sandblasted or plasma etched implants with regards to the healing time associated with them.
