There are many technological break-throughs in the Arts and Sciences, School of Dentistry in the past 5-10 years. There are better and gentler techniques for the treatment of diseases, as well as better materials for longer lasting fillings (fillings and crowns).
There are also new tools for diagnosis, allowing patients to see their teeth and gums close by allowing them greater control and confidence over the care they receive.
Some of these advances are listed below.
Caries Detector - This is the color that appears decay (caries) that otherwise might miss. Complete removal of caries is essential to long lasting restoration. This is not the same as the red stain plaque that is used to show where the person has failed to brushing your teeth.
Resin fillings - These tooth colored fillings have come a long way. Not only are the natural and aesthetic appearance, but have other advantages as dobro.Priprema tooth to receive the filling can be done in a more conservative way. In this way, more of the healthy tooth structure is preserved. These seals, when used with a total cut - total seal techniques described in the literature by Drs. Bertolotti and the Chancellor, can protect teeth from bacteria that leaks can occur where the tooth and filling meet. In connection with the use of caries detector, and meet with potential for longer life.
Sealants - It is a thin layer which is on the chewing surface of back teeth. Sealants have been used successfully for about 30 years and has been proven to reduce the incidence of tooth decay by about 80 percent.
Orthopedics - According to Dr. Duane Keller, Chairman of the Board of Education of the International Association of Orthodontics, traditional orthodontic treatment often leads to disorders in the TM joints (jaw joints). According to some research, Dr. John Truitt and others, the problem lies in the fact that the jaws are not in proper shape and size to start the extraction of teeth in these cases can lead to other problems. Research done by the use of orthopedic dental units showed that TMJ dysfunction can be prevented and even corrected with this technique. Orthopaedic treatment can be achieved at any age, but is faster and easier in the child. I have successfully treated people ages 4 through middle age with this technique.
Fluoride - Many communities in Sacramento and placer El Dorado County have fluoride in their drinking water. Current studies show that fluoride can protect teeth from acid bacteria, as well as control the number of bacteria in the mouth of a person. If you do not have fluoride in the water you can get bottled water with fluoride or your dentist write a prescription for fluoride supplements. Prescription fluoride gels are also useful in many cases.
regrowth of damaged bone disease - It was once believed that the loss of bone due to gum (periodontal) disease is permanent. New research has shown that a technique known as scaling and root planing (removal of debris below the gum line followed by smoothing the root surface) in conjunction with the accompany treatments every 3 months may be possible for some of the lost bone to grow back in 6-12 months. Obviously, good home care is needed as well. You May be a candidate for this treatment. I noticed a remarkable improvement when treatment is initiated in the early stages of the disease.
Complete Diagnostics - How to get and keep your teeth and gums healthy is necessary to obtain a complete, thorough, exam with x-rays, if necessary, to find cavities or gum disease in its early fazama.Procjena your joint function and your bite, and screening for oral cancer are vital to overall health.
