Q4) During a root canal treatment how do you assist the operator in measuring and recording root length? Why is this necessary?

Dental Hygienist use scaling tools to clean and scrape the plaque and tartar from your teeth and gum line. Depending on the scaler it may also remove built up plaque that has maneuvered its way below

The images pictured above are bite-wing radiographic images. A bite-wing image includes the crown of maxillary and mandibular teeth, interproximal areas, and areas of the crestal bone, which is the coronal portion of the alveolar bone also known as the alveolar crest, on the same image. Bite-wing images usually are used to detect interproximal caries and for the detection of early carious lesions that are not clinically evident. Bite-wing radiographic images are also used to monitor the progression of dental caries, assessing existing restorations, and examining the alveolar crest levels between the teeth. The receptors appear to be placed correctly as they are parallel with the crown of the tooth, also both the first and second molars are

When I start my college journey, I will major in Biology in hopes of becoming a Dentist. Dentists use many different unique tools on their patients. One neat utensil referred to a "plaque scratcher," is the scalar. Scalars are habituated to remove the repugnant vision of calculus from the teeth. They are designed to be used above the tender gum line. If the scalar is used below the gum line, the sensible gums are most likely to get damaged. Although scalars look like fancy and professional grade instruments, they can be purchased at department stores and online websites.

The author concluded that with regular periodontal maintenance, removal of root surface accretion for better periodontal tissue attachment was more important than any surgical procedures.

Manufacturer Indication: Used in addition to scaling and root planing procedures to help reduce pocket depths in patients with adult periodontitis. Often used as part of periodontal maintenance

Today was a great day since I took and passed my competency on the Orban and EXD 11/12 explorers. Also, working with Danielle as my patient, helped me to have the experience of how to handle a patient with diabetes. At the same time, it helped me to realize that for patient with healthy gums I won’t be able to use the instrument to its full potential. In her case I could not get the Gracey 11/12 and 13/14 and 1/2 all the way to the interproximal space. I was deplaquing, and had to stay supragingival if the tissue was too tight. My challenges with these instruments, especially the Gracey 13/14 was adapting the instrument parallel to the tooth, so that the cutting edge was at 70 degrees angulation, and finding the right fulcrum for the maxillary

A periodontal probe is similar in appearance to the dental explorer, but it instead typically has a straight tip instead of a curved one, like the dental explorer. The tip is also sharp-looking, which is why it can look just as scary as the explorer. However, this tool is not used to poke and prod, but it is instead used to measure the depth of gum pockets, which helps the dentist determine whether gums are healthy or not.

Using this tool will thoroughly clean the plaque and tartar off of your teeth above and below your gums. If you had plaque and tartar on your teeth before you came in, you most assuredly won’t when you leave our office.

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth, resulting in attachment loss and bone resorption. The ethiopathogenesis of periodontitis is still somewhat unclear, but several different factors such

I still think Prospect Avenue, is the best firehouse in the job. When the three companies rolled together, I was part of an unbeatable team whose tradition was written on an old, worn sheet hanging from a tired wall-high on the apparatus floor. “BE PROUD,” read the demanding motto.

Sexism in the workplace is alive and well, especially in the Silicone Valley. While it is true that the percentage of women going into stem fields has risen, computer science is the only exception. Over 30 years ago, the percentage of female computer and information science majors was at about 37 percent. Today it sits at about 18 percent, and the number may very well keep decreasing. More and more women are leaving the tech industry, more than twice the rate than men do.

The London Crown Court, the Old Bailey, is similar to a district court in the United States (Hirschel, Wakefield, and Sasse, 2008). However, unlike the United States, the judges and barristers (lawyers) that sit in the Crown Court wear white wigs, or a peruke, with their black robes when hearing a case. This is a symbol of the Crown Court that is different than the courts in the United States. This paper will discuss the different symbols as well as other cultural items of the London Crown Court that the author observed while visiting the court on May 23, 2017.
