Digital Dentistry- CAD/CAM Technology

Oral care has come a long way.  About 8000 years ago people used a “chewing stick” which was no more than a stick or twig with a pointed or frayed tip. Today we use computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM). That is quite a jump!  Today, there is an entire industry focused around improving your dental experience and using technology to do so. 

The CAD/CAM as an acronym stands for computer-aided design or computer-aided manufacturing. This is used for producing precision tools and with its incorporation into the field of dentistry over the past 2 decades, the technology and metal-free materials has been utilized by dentists to provide dental candidates milled ceramic crowns, onlays &inlays, veneers and bridges.

Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) in restorative dentistry can be used to:

Ø  Reduce production time for copings and frameworks; increasing overall productivity

Ø  Introduce consistent and measurable accuracy

Ø  Provide evidence of product quality

The dentists are able to see a three dimensional model of your mouth on a computer screen, by using this sophisticated software.  They can also create dental restorations right in our office that would previously have been made by a laboratory.  The patient benefits are immense in terms of time and accuracy.

CAD/CAM technology is usually combined with other technologies to shorten time in the dentist chair and reduce the number of visits.  Prior to this technology, all major tooth restorations required dentists to make a mold of the tooth and send it to a lab. The lab would then carve and cast a crown, send it back to the dentist, and you would need to return for another appointment. In-office CAD/CAM technology reduces these steps and allows the dentist to make a crown while you wait.

Restorations made with CAD/CAM technology will also fit the patient’s tooth better.  A better fit result in a stronger seal and a longer lasting result. Some restorations still need to be sent to the laboratory for expanded material choices or custom aesthetic work not possible with a same-day procedure.  The good news is that modern dental laboratories now also use CAD/CAM technology.  Dentists send digital scans to the laboratory instead of the old style “impressions” many patients are familiar with.  This digital scan is then taken into the laboratory’s CAD/CAM system and restorations are made more quickly and more accurately than when made from an impression.

This technology has changed the world of dentistry but it is not alone. Subsequent posts will look at other new technologies for everything from dental implants to financing.  Our patients can take comfort in the fact that very smart people are working hard to help dentists make your dental experience better.

GERIATRIC DENTAL CARE

It is important for people of all ages to take care of their oral health. it is equally essential for the elderly population to seek dental health care. Geriodontics is the delivery of dental care to older adults involving the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of problems associated with normal aging and age-related diseases, it is important for older individuals to remain diligent about their oral health care.

Many dental issues that disproportionately affect seniors are difficult to detect in the early stages. 

The dental care needs of the elderly are not very different from those of others, but they are complicated by a number of impairments which includes physical, sensory, and cognitive aging and dental health related to age and aging. The inter connection between dental health and overall health is even more important as the elderly generally possess less immunity.

Natural consequences of aging:

·         While dry mouth is not a requirement of aging, it nonetheless affects 20% of patients older than 55years and up to 30% of patients older than 70 years.

·         Among the elderly there is increased incidence of oral cancers and dentists need to be aware of this risk. The average age for diagnosis is 52; which indicates that vigilance is important.

·         Increased gastric pH that can accompany aging can lead to acid reflux that can be damaging teeth.

·         Increased exposure of root surfaces (gingival recession) is also a potential problem.

·         The loss of nerve sensitivity with age can give cover to dental problems that should receive early detection.

·         Elderly patients might also have heart conditions or artificial joints and implants, and so will require antibiotics to reduce their elevated risk of infection during dental work.

It was commonly believed that dental problems and the loss of teeth were an inevitable consequence of aging. But the fact is: Age itself isn’t a risk factor for tooth loss; if properly cared, your teeth can last a lifetime.

With Geriatric dental health care, a person can prevent or eliminate the progression of certain oral diseases and can stave off certain illnesses, such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. With proper dental care, an aging person can have a healthy mouth and teeth that help them feel, speak and eat with confidence. Everyone believes deeply in the miracle of our dental implants and the quality of life issues. Dental Medicine understands that geriatric dental needs not only enhancing smiles, but also to lead a healthier life.

New Advancements in Dentistry

A Smile Is One Of The First Things People Notice. Every smile is different.

During the past years, Dentistry has benefited from a number of new advancements. One of the largest and most dynamic areas of growth in Dentistry is orthodontics. With dentistry's many diagnoses and treatments are more sophisticated and comfortable than before. Research gives a conclusion that the condition of the body health depends on the healthiness of the mouth. There is no reason to have chipped, stained, or crooked teeth nowadays!

Many techniques have been into role to make the smile you’ve always wanted! Orthodontics is the specialized field of dentistry that requires additional efficiency, and the treatments involve correction of spacing’s between teeth, malocclusion, and misalignment's. It can be usually accomplished through the use of braces or aligners such as Invisalign.

Whole new service mixes of clear aligners have opened up for general practitioners provoking orthodontics to be a fast-growing segment of adult patients. The cost of orthodontics can vary depending on the materials used and plan the treatment challenging the accepted wisdom of the past; it offers a fresh look at orthodontic treatment, using a patient-centered paradigm for enhancing the appearance, function, and health of the dentofacial features. The past few years have seen an increased emphasis

On reducing treatment times in orthodontics. Numerous new methods of accelerated orthodontic treatments have been introduced for enhancement. More research is necessary to substantiate claims and enhance technology and techniques. Today’s orthodontics includes creating a straight line from GP's to patients.

Nanotechnology, a therapeutic strategy for Oral cancer

More than a decade ago, Nanotechnology became an integral part of the scientific research world. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common cancers, one of the malignant diseases with the worst survival rates. Despite the fact that great progress has been made in diagnosis and therapy of cancer, the survival rate for oral cancers has not been improved, still remaining at approx. rate of 50%. Though many strategies are being employed for treatment of oral cancer, the eventual goal to cure cancer still remains elusive.

Nanotechnology is very diverse field that has revolutionized the industry and new methods of Nano engineered materials are being developed. New trends have been setted in the management of oral cancer which might be effective in detecting the disease at an early treatable stage. The use of optical nanoparticles provides efficient drug delivery to tumor cells. The application of nanotechnology in cancer diagnosis and treatment, promises to have a profound impact on health care. of using nanomaterial’s as a carrier for anticancer drugs adds advantage because of its targeted delivery to the tumor, and their ability to bind thousands of molecules of a drug and deliver them to the required site and to overcome issues  of solubility and stability.

A new area of science that possesses the ability to impact radiation oncology in Oral cancer is Nano medicine. These Nano scaled materials provide many unique properties such as enhanced permeability and retention effect and superparamagnetism that are well suited for applications in radiation oncology.  Overall, nanotechnology-based drug delivery is an attractive form of treatment that has great therapeutic potential in the case of oral oncology.

Nutrition and Oral Health

Nutrition is essential for the growth, development, and maintenance of oral tissues. A diet that is high in carbohydrates may be sweet to eat, but it results in tooth decay for all age groups. The bacteria in the mouth use these carbohydrates to produce acids that cause decay in tooth. During rapid cellular growth, nutrient deficiencies cause an irreversible effect on the developing oral tissues. Decreased intake of vitamins and minerals undoubtedly lead to mouth sores and periodontal breakdowns. Nutrition less diets also affects functioning of immune system. People with lowered immunity have an increased risk for gum diseases. The increased susceptibility to gum disease is due to the decreased ability to resists disease causing periodontal pathogens. 

The frequent consumption of fizzy drinks containing sugar not only put teeth at risk of decaying but can also cause erosion of the enamel due to their acidic content. The most effect of nutrition on teeth is the development of dental caries. It has been estimated that dental erosion is increasing nowadays and there is an existing link between the amount of free sugars intake and dental caries. In the other hand fermentable carbohydrates are also associated with dental caries. Maintaining an adequate calcium intake is required to ensure that our saliva has sufficient calcium to repair or reverse tooth decay in early stages. As we age calcium also prevents the loss of tooth supporting the bones in the jaws. Yogurt low fat ice cream puddings or frozen yogurt are calcium rich dessert alternatives.

6^th Annual Congress on Dentistry and Dental Medicine paves the unparalleled venue to resolve these nutritional problems to make the healthier smiles better than ever. This exciting event is planned to be in Romania, in November 22-23, 2018. Be a part of this event to welcome the era of SMILE!

DIABETES AND DENTAL HEALTH

At any age across the life span diabetes can arise in individuals. People with diabetes are more prone to dental problems. The tinier bacteria living in the mouth (especially gums) is the reason for periodontal disease which is  a chronic, inflammatory disease which results in destruction of your gums, and also all the tissues holding your teeth. Nearly 25% of people with diabetes are affected by periodontal disease, the most common dental disease. It is also susceptible in especially with increasing age, poor blood sugar control. Higher risk for gum problems occurs in people with diabetes because of poor blood sugar control. 

As with all infections, serious gum diseases may cause blood sugar to rise. This makes diabetes harder to control because you are more susceptible to infections and are less able to fight the bacteria invading the gums. The dentists review the patient’s medical history and evaluate them for oral signs and symptoms of controlled diabetes, which may be common. Oral manifestations of uncontrolled diabetes can include xerostomia, burning sensation in the mouth, impaired/delayed wound healing, severity of infections, secondary infection with candidiasis; parotid salivary gland enlargement; gingivitis and/or periodontitis etc.

The irreversibility in dental stream can reversed by a one-step novel approach in the event of 6^th Annual Congress on Dentistry and Dental Medicine scheduled at Bucharest, Romania at November 22-23, 2018, adding feathers to your cap. This is an integrated approach towards the futuristic dentistry to make dental researches and the researchers to be known. Advancements in dental research, including genetic engineering, the discovery of links between oral and systemic diseases, the development of salivary diagnostics and the continued development of new materials and techniques, make dentistry an exciting, challenging and rewarding profession.

Better Oral Care – Healthy Heart

Good oral health is critical for overall health, and strives to ensure dental treatment to meet the guidelines established.  It's increasingly common to hear that oral health is vital for overall health. It has been reported by Delta Dental that there is a link between oral health and heart disease. If people possess gum diseases in a moderate/advanced stage, then they are at a greater risk for heart disease. It has been that suspected that the spread of bacteria from the mouth to other parts of your body through the blood stream is the interlink between oral health and heart disease. Bacteria found in infected gum tissue reach the heart, breaking down the barrier between the gums and the underlying connective tissue, attaching them to any of the damaged area resulting in inflammation. These bacteria can enter the bloodstream during normal chewing or brushing, and move to other parts of the circulatory system, contributing to the formation of cardiovascular diseases such as an infection of the inner lining of the heart (endocarditis) and also other cardiovascular conditions such as clogged arteries (atherosclerosis) and strokes. Dentists do agree that there are many acceptable reasons behind the intertwining of dental health and heart health. 

The American Heart Association says, “Although the findings indicate a strong link between gum disease and heart disease, it’s still unclear whether one actually causes the other.” The risk factors of two conditions are same, including smoking, poor nutrition diabetes etc. It is suspected by researchers, that infection/inflammation caused by periodontal disease may be responsible for the link between the oral health and the heart diseases. Dentistry Medicine 2018 scheduled in the month of November 22-23, 2018 at Bucharest, Romania, paves the way to find such unresolved truths in the stream of Dentistry. This exciting event will provide a platform for to exchange the novel ideas, discover unique opportunities, reacquaint with colleagues and broaden knowledge in making the dental gentle.
