Esthetic, Implants and Rubber dam

Oh, I do not use rubber dam:

One of my father’s FAVORITE EXPRESSIONS is “If we step back far enough, anything can look OK. But on closer examination, the truth emerges.” (Dr Mounce). Do you know how to use rubber dam, are you using regularly and for certain cases ( learn rubber dam hands on at ICDR ). Do you think you are justified in doing endo without rubber dam.

Use of computer in Esthetic dentistry:

Can computers aid us with our aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry? Remember
dentistry is becoming increasingly dependent upon computers to run
various parts of our practice, but there has until now only been minimal
involvement in the clinical use of computers. The area of aesthetic and
cosmetic dentistry has been virtually ignored by the introduction of
software packages. But before discussing the possible role of computer

Preserving extraction socket for Implant placement:

After dental extraction, a well-characterized process of wound healing occurs that may result in loss of ridge dimensions, compromising ideal implant replacement. The greater the available bone, the larger the implant width and length that can be used, resulting in better cervical esthetics, prognosis, and ease of oral hygiene procedures. Socket preservation procedures at the time of tooth extraction improve the prognosis regarding maintenance of the width and height of remaining bone. Grafting at the time of extraction takes advantage of the regional acceleratory phenomenon that is induced by the trauma of extraction leading to a reduced healing time.
