INTRODUCTION Success of root canal depends mainly on the elimination of bacteria from root canals. The microorganisms present in root canal plays important role in pathogenesis of apical periodontitis. The bacterial elimination from root canals is obtained by mechanical instrumentation using various irrigating solutions and intracanal medicaments. Hermann introduced Ca(OH)2 in 1920 which was used as a pulp capping agent. Because of it’s excellent results it is used widely for various endodontic therapy as intra-canal medicaments, sealers, pulp capping agents, apexification procedures, pulpotomy and weeping canals. Ca(OH)2 is most commonly used as it aids in formation of hard tissue and have antibacterial and tissue healing capacity. It is …show more content…
Most important is the activation of fluids in properly shaped canals for complete debridement & disinfection. In this system intracanal irrigants are energized during endodontic treatment. EndoActivator system comprises of cordless, contra-angled, three-speed, battery-operated handpiece & uncoated & non cutting tips which are strong, flexible which are made up from medical grade polymer. This system works on principle of sonic vibration (up to 10,000 cpm) of a plastic tip in the root canal. Three different sizes of tips are available size 15/02, 25/04, and 35/04 which are color coded (yellow, red & blue) & easily attached to handpiece which will create sonic vibrations. It has no role in delivering the irrigants into the canal system but it enhances penetration and renewal of the irrigating solution by creating fluid hydrodynamics & helps in the improvement of smear layer and biofilm disruption. The EndoVac is an irrigation system which is based on apical negative pressure. “Negative apical pressure” term is used because EndoVac pulls the irrigants by using suction down the canal into the Hi-Vac suction unit by moving irrigant away from the root
History: Hank Harum ( Case # 7755) was first seen by Firgrove Veterinary Hospital on October 24, 2012. He was a stray feline brought in for an annual exam and vaccines by his owners. He weighed roughly 8 pounds. The doctor suggested to do an FIV test on Hank since he was a stray neighborhood feline for many years.
If the dentist diagnoses any gum disease, our hygienists are trained to treat mild to advanced gum disease with deep cleaning using latest technology. We are able in many cases to prevent the need for gum surgery for severe cases. Our ultrasonic scalers use sound waves to remove plaque and calculus (hardened plaque) and provide a more gentle and effective treatment. The ultrasonic scaler gets down to the base of the pocket better, disinfecting the full mouth. We use Arestin® antibiotic treatment and soft-tissue lasers to eliminate remaining bacteria.
Inflammation of the dental pulp can be caused by a variety of factors, but its results are the same — we will need to perform treatment to eliminate your pain and restore the health of your tooth. You might need a root canal if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: pain in or around a particular
To Accomplish Great Things To Help Ohers “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe,” (France). Stephanie Galindo is a hard working women who first picked to be a physical therapist studying and working at a nursing home thinking she was going to stay there till she finished school. During the months working there, a young girl about 8 years old visited her grandmother. As she started talking to Stephanie she asked why she did that and what got her thinking about being a physical therapist. She then told the young girl she didn’t want to be a physical therapist but a dental hygienist just for the fact of seeing people happy.
Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia and Treponema denticola create what is called red complex, which appears to be associated with disease symptoms in most chronic periodontitis. The second important group of bacteria forms orange complex, including Fusobacterium nucleatum and Prevotella intermedia. Orange complex bacteria provide an essential aid in allowing the colonization of periodontal tissue by a red complex. Another group of bacteria forms green complex, which includes species: Capnocytophaga sputigena, C. gingivalis, and Eikenella corrodens. These species are also associated with disease symptoms in chronic periodontitis, but with a less aggressive clinical course in contrast to the red complex (8,9).
It is designed to provide high levels of humidity to the airway continuously for long periods. The water, cartridge and air are heated to body temperature or slightly above and a triple lumen tube that goes to the
Having to brush your teeth every day may be such a chore, so why not go and see your dental hygienist? The role of a dental hygienist is to clean your teeth and help keep proper oral health. A hygienist is the male or female you usually see every six months to get a teeth cleaning and x-rays. It is very important to see your dental hygienist every six months because they help keep you healthy. Becoming a dental hygienist may seem like a long road of schooling, but really it’s not.
This was the first formal experimental work on root canal irrigation. They compared the solvent action of several agents like enzymol, galactone lactone, double strength chlorinated soda, potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide and found double strength chlorinated soda solution to be the most effective pulp tissue solvent among those solutions. Arguably, the major development in root canal irrigation during this period was the introduction of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) to endodontics with A.B.Crane most likely the earliest published advocate of the solution.10 In the endodontic field, NaOCl possess a broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against endodontic microorganisms and biofilms, including microbiota difficult to eradicate from root canals, such as Enterococcus, Actinomyces and Candida organisms. NaOCl has the ability to oxidize and hydrolyze cell proteins and also has tissue solvent capacity, increasing its value as an irrigant solution.11
My conventional dentist urged me to have root canals which I eventually did because I did not know what else to do. Dentistry offers very few choices when a tooth becomes badly damaged or dies. The tooth can either be extracted or a procedure called a root canal can be done to “save the tooth.” Root canals are a standard
Dental assistants’ contribution to the doctor is to allow for efficient dental treatment by preparing the patient for the procedure, sterilizing instruments, passing instruments during the procedure, holding suction devices, exposing dental radiographs, taking impressions, and fabricating provisional crowns. Along with crowns, Rt1 Dental offers veneers which are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your smile. Many people are skeptical about other procedures like cavities and root canals. During these procedures, pain is thought to be the leading dynamic because of the injections. The assistants and Dr. Trakhtman know of various techniques to help lessen the pain
Experiences of pain lead to anxiety for both patient and clinician before and after root canal treatment. Pain is not always associated with sensation to noxious stimuli but also associated with the individual experiences, anxiety, stress, expectations and personality. Though the pain may not be a sign of endodontic failure, relieving pain is of utmost importance for the acceptance of endodontic procedure. Postoperative endodontic pain continues to be a significant problem facing the dental profession (Liesinger, Marshall & Marshall 1993). Up to 80% of endodontic patients who report with preoperative pain continue to experience some level of pain following the endodontic procedure (Marshall 2002).
To understand just how important and needed dentistry and dental hygienist are, being to be able to see how it all works helps immensely. Just knowing how much work has to go into it so that it is possible to give it the correct amount of respect that it deserves, instead of just knowing what it is and thinking of it as a day-to-day job anyone can do. I wrote my essay so that everyone could be able to see the value and just how important the business of dentistry is so that people could tell just how each person in this field who has a separate job title is like a gear that helps keep everything going. The first topic that was researched was written by “Candice Feagle, How to embrace the phrase, Oh, you’re just a hygienist!”
Dental radiographs are important tools in the diagnosis of oral diseases. It helps the dentist to employ appropriate treatment regimen for patient’s dental conditions, and plays a continual important role in dental practice. Radiation dosage from such dental radiographs are low and are thought to present minimal risk (Enabulele & Igbinedion, 2013) The radiation protection is the science and art of protecting people and environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation.
Nose piercing may seem innovative but the custom has been around for almost four thousand years. It is a process which a needle punctured the nasal septum,the nostril, or nasal bridge to create an opening for the placement of a jewelry. This practice is performed as a representation or for beauty purposes. Originated in the Middle East, moving to India in the 1500s and reaching the Western civilization by the 20th century.
Just as, seemingly, every child interprets visiting the dentist as a daunting event. The section where Schwass spoke to the invasiveness of current filling methods, in terms of the drilling and destruction, triggered some anxiety as I reminisced about all the fillings I have experienced. The idea of the use of nanoparticles being used to treat dental caries in an essentially less invasive manner, intrigued me as I know I would opt for any less invasive treatment. Having a more effective treatment means less trips to the dentists, and less drilling and filling for me, which is always a
