Who Should Place Your Dental Implant?
You need a dental implant, but who should place it? You have several options. You could have your general dentist place it if he or she is adequately trained or be referred to a specialist to have your implant or implants placed. The general thought in dentistry is that one does well what one does often. Fifty years ago this was the story with endodontic therapy, or root canals. The thought at ...

Polymer material in 3D Printing
With its unique manufacturing technology, 3D printing allows us to produce unprecedented types of items. However, the real advantage of 3D printing technology lies in its printing materials. Only by developing more new materials can the application fields of 3D printing technology be expanded. At present, 3D printing materials mainly include engineering plastics, photosensitive resins, rubber ...

Sources, Functions and Therapeutic Applications of Bromelain
Bromelain is closely related to pineapple. Chemist Vicente Marcano first discovered bromelain in pineapple in 1891, and then another chemist, Russell Henry Chittenden, extracted bromelain from pineapple fruit, which was then called "proteolytic enzyme in pineapple juice". Scientists have found that ripe pineapple stems have higher levels of bromelain. Many tropical fruits, such as papaya, mango, ...

Predictable Precision Implant Placement Using Dynamic Surgical Guidance: a Five-month Follow-up - Case study
The following case was performed at the Pacific Dental Convention’s Live Surgical Stage held March 8th, 2018 in Vancouver, BC. The patient is a healthy 58 year old male with no known allergies or medical contra-indications to dental treatment. Patient presented with a Class III malocclusion for which he received both orthodontic and oral surgery consultations; however, he was not ...

Dynamic Surgical Guidance to Facilitate Dental Implant Placement
The long-term success of dental implant surgery is dependent, in part, on accurate planning and placement of the implant.1 Currently, there are many digital planning systems available to aid the clinician in pre-operative treatment planning, although the main challenge with these planning systems is to accurately transfer the digital plan to the clinical situation. Most systems involve taking a ...

Three Techniques to Ensure the Proper Sterilization of Dental Instruments
Surgical instruments must be carefully sterilized prior to their use in any medical procedure, in order to protect the safety of the patient. However, healthcare professionals realize that sterilization has applications that extend far beyond the operating room. In dentistry, a number of techniques have been developed to keep instruments free of microbes and other hazardous bodily fluids. ...

Digital Monitoring Quickly Alerts to Thermal Changes During Surgical Procedures
Hypothermia is the leading prolonged anesthesia side effect in animals. In both dogs and cats, hypothermia, and even hyperthermia, can often happen with any lengthy surgical procedure – dental or general – or in a patient that has comorbid issues. Veterinary-specific multiparameter digital monitors are the key to quickly determining if an anesthetized patient is becoming hypothermic ...

PMMA (Acrylic Plastic)
Material Description: Acrylic plastic is commonly known as plexiglass, resistant to outdoor aging. It has excellent light transmission and good surface finish, and can print transparent and translucent products with certain strength requirements. The disadvantage is that the surface hardness is slightly lower and it is easy to scratch. Application: pmma injection molding is widely used in ...

The role of chemical products at low doses in preventing the proliferation of bacteria in dental unit waterlines: the ICX® experience
In this study we evaluated (1) the efficacy of a protocol that combines hydrogen peroxide (shock treatment) and ICX® tablets (continuous treatment) for the control of microbial contamination in dental unit water lines, and (2) the in vitro antimicrobial activity of ICX® tablets on collection and wild strains isolated from dental chair output waters. To assess the treatment effectiveness, the ...

Virtual 3D reconstruction, diagnosis and surgical planning with Mimics software
CT scans interpretation is no longer strictly related to the machine. They can be analysed with specialised software that allows for diagnosis, surgical and dental procedures planning. So, medical doctors can analyse and determine the step–by–step procedure in the actual phase with a computer. There are presented some real examples computed with Mimics software. Keywords: CT scans, ...

Effect of nanofillers in adhesive and aesthetic properties of dental resin-composites
Nanoscience offers new possibilities for dental restorative materials. The aim of this paper was to evaluate a series of experimental resin-composite formulations, with systematically varied nanofiller-size and shape and high volume-fraction. Two main areas of interest in dental restoratives, adhesion and aesthetics, were investigated. The specific properties examined were elastic and bulk moduli ...

Nanotechnology for dental composites
In dentistry, composites consisting of inorganic fillers such as radiopaque glass, quartz or ceramic particles and an organic resin matrix based on a mixture of dimethacrylates, are used for the restoration of teeth. Important properties of the dental restorative materials can be improved by means of nanotechnology. Inorganic-organic hybrid materials can be used as monomer matrix in dental ...
