Do NOT use the Double Cord Technique in the Traditional Manner for Digital Impressions
There is a concept in digital dentistry that is called “mixing good and bad data”. What you have to appreciate is that two different objects can’t occupy the same space in the same 3D model. The clinical example of this is when you pack 2 cords, image the margins, then remove the top cord and image the preparation some more. This introduces a lot of errors and distortion at ...

What Are Heparins?
Heparin, also known as standard heparin or unfractionated heparin, is a linear polysaccharide consisting of 1-4 linked disaccharide repeat units of uronic acid and glucosamine residues. Heparin was discovered nearly 100 years ago and has been used clinically as a blood anticoagulant since 1935. This is due to its ability to bind to the antithrombin(serine protease inhibitor), causing the ...

Nitinol Applications
Although many nitinol applications are not well-known to the public, some applications are quite routine and familiar. The spectacle frame made of Nitinol severely deformed and then returned to normal. Similarly, a few years ago, when mobile phone antennas were made of Nitinol, they could bend without breaking or permanently bending. Another superelastic application of Nitinol is for orthodontic ...

PIOON 450nm blue diode laser - An innovative tool in modern dental practice
Compared to traditional treatments, the main principle of dental diode laser cutting soft tissue is to heat the tissue with a hot tip contact. By converting light energy into heat energy at the tip end, the high temperature can be high enough to evaporate the soft tissue. Dental diode lasers have significant advantages, mainly scarless wound healing and improved bacterial reduction. For patients, ...
