Summary: Diminished Oral Health

Technology is a very growing area and one cannot be successful if they are not up on the latest. In the dental field, most dental offices are now “digital and paperless”. It will be my responsibility to make sure that I teach my students how to function in a digital environment. In order to do this, I must be proficient in this area. If I will be successful, I must know what new procedures and technology is being used in the dental field. “Dental technologies have been evolving continually, helping to transform the field of dentistry. New technologies are developed with a focus on creating products and developing techniques that can be used by dentists to help prevent, diagnose and/or treat dental conditions and diseases

Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and help restore a patient’s smile. There are many steps involved in providing dentures. Firstly, patients must schedule an appointment at the dental office. Patients

Improper use of abrasives can lead to roughening and reduction of the tooth and restorative materials. The dental hygienist should be able to distinguish between tooth structures, and restorative materials and must use the proper procedure for finishing, polishing, or cleaning each surface. It is also imperative for the clinician to understand the relative hardness of various intraoral materials and

So here we go for an advanced technique of implanting which provides a more secure and stable denture. Most people prefer to get replaced with the permanent teeth. For those people, we move on with their desire using a technique called as a hybrid denture. It consists of dentures that are fixed onto implants with a full set of high-quality prosthetics to replace full rows of teeth.

Like most of my colleagues, I entered dental school unsure of specialty choice. It then motivated me to seek opportunities in various internship and externship programs to explore the many facets of dental medicine. Upon graduation from dental school, I attended the Eastman Institute for Oral Health of the University of Rochester, where my curiosity and interest in endodontics arose. Through various lectures and hands-on workshops on endodontics and microscopic dentistry, I was amazed and intrigued by the intricate and precise aspects required in the field of endodontics. I have also come to further appreciate the importance of preserving the integrity of a natural dentition.

Lab stage: technician will mount models on the articulator (mechanism that simulating jaw movements) and use wax rims as a base to start with denture. Wax is carved with a hot wax knife and Le Cron carver. The correct teeth are selected and placed in position from the information received from the dentist. The model ready to be send to dental surgery look like future denture, but is made of wax with resin teeth embedded in wax.

CAD-CAM stands for computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and it is used by dentists and dental laboratories to provide patients with milled ceramic crowns, bridges, and etc. Many times dental CAD/CAM is used to fabricate abutments for dental implants, used to replace missing teeth. The dental CAD/CAM technology have improved over the years. Today dental restorations are better fitting because of CAD/CAM. They are also more durable and more natural looking (multi-colored and translucent, similar to natural teeth) than previously machined restorations.

The artificial teeth were arranged by using denture teeth (Trubyte Portrait IPN, TP; SR Vivodent DCL, SR) and Type II baseplate wax (TruWax Baseplate Wax; Dentsply International Inc, York, PA) (Fig 14). The trial maxillary IAORPD was tried-in and esthetic and phonetic were evaluated. The prosthesis was processed with heat-polymerized acrylic resin, Lucitone 199 (Dentsply International Inc., New York, PA). The occlusion was adjusted after deflasking procedures, and the prosthesis were finished and

The dentures Gravenhurst is a registered oral health care professional who performs a variety of intra oral procedures and related activities pertaining to design, construction, repair or alteration of removable dentures for the full and partial dentures. The denturist Gravenhurst must be educated to be able to fulfill responsibilities in the areas of complete denture fabrication, partial denture design, immediate denture design, implant supported denture, relines, rebase, and repairs. The traditional duties of the denturist are as follows: perform a complete visual/ digital oral examination, make impressions necessary jaw lines record, select artificial teeth, treat traumatized oral tissues, and provide implant supported dental prosthesis both fixed and removable. The dentures Gravenhurst also provides the mouth guards for the sports person who are into rigorous activity and the life of the teeth

While Visiting Cheshire Dental lab on March 31, I was astonished by how many steps and equipment it took to produce a final dental restoration. From the first step of disinfection to the final step of sand blasting the final product, the process of making a crown requires time and accurate procedures. During my observation, I was able to see the development of a crown and the process of creating a wax and metal coping. Our mentor, Joseph Feeley, was extremely informative and explained his techniques in an interesting way. The overall experience of my observation was fascinating, and will be a helpful tool when educating my future patients.

Removable partial denture (RPD) is a denture for partially edentulous patient who wants replacement teeth for functional or aesthetic reasons and cannot have a bridge for some reasons (Sakar, 2016). This type of denture is called a removable partial denture because patients can remove and equip the denture without professional help. A good retention is required in order to keep RPD in place and prevent it from unwanted displacement. This article will explain the principle and importance of indirect retention in the design of partial denture frameworks.

Dental surgical guides based on complete understanding of the patient’s underlying bone anatomy is provided by 3D printer. The surgical guide provides the most accurate means for placing the implants, it created directly from a well thought-out treatment plan. It has developed a process that can improve pre-surgical planning by revealing all features of the patient’s anatomy in order to guiding the drilling process with precision.

Good oral health is deemed as necessary in preserving high level of self–esteem and maintaining interpersonal relationships (WHO, 1994). Poor oral health is deemed as a barrier to employment. Poor oral health has been associated with low self esteem, poor appearance and social stigma all of which inhibit one’s marketability; thus, reducing chance of interview and regular job (Glied & Neidell, 2010; Ruffle & Shtudiner, 2014; Singhal et al., 2013). Similarly, oral health is seen as a motivating factor for socio-economic inclusion or exclusion (Saunders, 2007 cited by Singhal et al., 2013 & Singhal, Mamdani, Mitchell, Tenenbaum, & Quiñonez, 2015). This relationship is demonstrated in Locke’s model of oral health, which indicates that dental/oral disease create physical, psychological and social disability, thus affect how people speak and socialize (Singhal et al., 2015). Furthermore, studies have demontarted the link between dental appearance and discrimination in the Canadian context (Moeller, Singhal, Al-Dajani, Gomaa, & Quiñonez, 2015). The relevance of oral health care access in the Canadian health care context is not only limited to physiological wellbeing. Good oral health and access to services that maintain this, are necessary for economic and social wellbeing. Economic and social integration are

Although many Americans have good oral hygiene due to fluoride and making everyday good decisions, others do not have any access at all to oral health care. Over the years, dentists have been trying to demonstrate the importance of oral care. (“Access to Dental Care”) From commercials to campaigns, dentists will continue to demonstrate to their patients as well as to the people who don't have insurance the importance of oral health care. They will teach them preventative care and some techniques on how to prevent from getting any diseases.
