Which is Best Crown down, New Composite on Block, Dentists on Frontline of Cardio/Cancer Risk
Smart Endo is 33% better and the only complete crown down system
Only True Crown down system, all other crown down systems do only 2/3 of the job, none of the systems except Smart Endo does a 100% job. Canal anatomy is different in the coronal, middle and apical third. The three instrument shapes in the LightSpeed system are custom designed to address these differences, enabling optimal and efficient cleaning and shaping from orifice to apex. CRX for coronal, MRX for middle third and LSX for apical third gives you at least 33% higher rates of success.
Hybrid Composite For Root Canal Treatment
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC in Würzburg working in collaboration with their research partners at VOCO GmbH have now developed a material that can be used for all the components used in root canal treatment.
"The basis of this material is provided by ORMOCER®s," explains Dr. Herbert Wolter, group manager at the ISC. "We have combined these ORMOCER®s with various nano- and microparticles to achieve the highly diverse properties needed." MORE
Are you scaring your Orthodontic patient away with Separators
Separators can be painful. Assess patient s pain thresh hold, if patient is very sensitive then it is much better to bond the anteriors and put a light NiTi or even braided archwire. As patient slowly adapts then we can use bands, or bond buccal tubes (works very well specially on max molars). By follwing this easy tip you will find that your patient acceptance rate will go up.
Management of Partially Impacted Mandibular Second Molars with an Australian Uprighting Spring-
The Orthodontic CYBER Journal, 11/05/09
Doshi J et al. – Impaction of permanent teeth is a common clinical occurrence that may involve any tooth in the dental arch. The teeth most often impacted, in order of frequency, are the maxillary and mandibular third molars, the maxillary canines and the mandibular second molars. A typical case of bilateral partially impacted mandibular molars is illustrated, with uprighting spring as a treatment option and different treatment modalities for impacted molars are discussed.

A new study indicates dentists can play a potentially life-saving role in health care by identifying patients at risk of fatal heart attacks and referring them to physicians for further evaluation.
The participating dentists and their staff members used a computerized system, HeartScore (European Society of Cardiology, Sophia Antipolis, France), to calculate the risk, in percentages, of a patient’s dying as a result of a CVD event within the next 10 years. Dentists advised patients with HeartScores of 10 percent or higher to seek medical advice. After six to 12 months, one of the authors conducted structured telephone interviews to ascertain the results of the medical referrals.
Conclusions. Oral health care professionals can identify patients who are unaware of their risk of developing serious complications as a result of CVD and who are in need of medical intervention. The authors’ findings suggest the need for more studies with larger sample populations. More HERE
Low-level laser therapy for pain caused by placement of the first orthodontic archwire
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 11/10/09
The patients in the low–level laser therapy (LLLT) group had lower mean scores for oral pain and intensity of pain on the most painful day. Also, their pain ended sooner. LLLT did not affect the start of pain perception or alter the most painful day. There was no significant difference in pain symptomatology in the maxillary or mandibular arches in an evaluated parameter.
Conclusions
Based on these findings, it was concluded that LLLT efficiently controls pain caused by the first archwire.
New Filling Material is Born
Kent Coulter and his colleagues at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio have developed a new proof-of-concept dental restorative material under a program funded by the National Institutes of Health that seeks to replace amalgam with other materials. They will describe the material on November 9 at a meeting of the scientific society AVS in San Jose. The new fillings are made with a plastic-like material containing zirconia nanoplatelets -- tiny crystals made of the same sort of material used to make fake diamonds and gem stones. Unlike their costume jewelry cousins, the zirconia nanoplatelets super hard because of a difference in the particular arrangements of the atoms in the material.
Coulter and his colleagues designed a way to make a roll of this material under vacuum. They envision that this material would be lifted from the roll and packed in a dental cavity and then cured -- using an ultraviolet lamp or some other means -- so that it hardens in place without shrinking.

New Bracket Design gives better bond strength
EJO Nov 2009
The R-system® provided a bond strength greater than that of the mesh-base bracket. EDS showed that the amount of calcium on the novel base was higher than that on the conventional base, which allowed transfer of torsional stress more uniformly to the substrate, resulting in higher bond values for the R-system®. On the other hand, as debonding of the R-system® occurred at the enamel–composite interface, lesions to the enamel substrate are possible.
Lung Cancer Signs may appear early in Oral Mucosa
Future lung cancer prevention trials, for example, could soon be designed so that surface tissues inside the cheek could be checked to detect tobacco-induced damage in the lungs, according to a study led by Mao last year published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.
"We hypothesized that tobacco-induced molecular alterations in the oral epithelium are similar to those in the lungs," says Mao. "This might have broader implications for using the mouth as a diagnostic indicator for general health."
University of Maryland Dental School Dean Christian S. Stohler, DMD, DrMedDent, a leader in the movement to retool dental education, says, "I feel that dentists should play a major role in prevention of cancer and Dr. Mao is the leading oral cancer researcher in the country. MORE HERE
