In a day, at the end of more than 43,000 cases of oral or pharyngeal cancer diagnosed in the United…

   Taking a Deeper Look The Promise of Regeneration in Periodontal Treatment Imagine this! Instead of repairing damaged tissue after periodontal disease has ravaged a patient's tooth-supporting bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament, periodontists can regrow a patient's once-eroded tissue into natural, healthy, and functional structures. We now have a wealth of evidence-based advancements coming to the forefront that are demonstrating regeneration and tissue engineering. These include the stimulation of regrowth of new blood vessels and formation of new bone resulting from osteoinduction and osteopromotion, which is accessible, predictable, and offers a change to have an impact on preserving the dentition and…

Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz, of Butterah, Calif, discusses the use of bleaching and internal bleaching for these types of procedures, outlining all the steps involved. Watch now on our homepage, .

   Caulk's Prime&Bond Elect: One Adhesive for All Clinical Situations Since being described by Buonocore in 1955, acid-etching techniques have made bonding to enamel successful. However, achieving consistent dentin bonding has been more challenging based on factors such as microleakage, resin hydration versus desiccation, and postoperative sensitivity. To mitigate these factors, the evolution of dentin bonding has included a shift from total-etch techniques involving placement of 30% to 40% phosphoric acid on both enamel and dentin surfaces (in which the etching acid-rinse sequence where phosphoric acid esters are contained within the bonding agent, and no etchant gel is placed on the…

    In First Impressions, Georac Freedman, DDS, gives readers a brief summary of products that have recently been introduced to dentistry, based on his clinical experience. SplashMax DenMat Vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) impression materials have been with the dental profession for the past 35 years. While much easier to use than the earlier generation polysulfides (rubber base), they were hydrophobic and thus performed poorly in the generally wet environment of the mouth. This was particularly true in the critical region of the sulcus, continuously bathed in crevicular fluid. More accurate than alginates, VPS materials were also more difficult to mix. The sages…

    UVENEER: Designed by a Dentist for Dentists Sigal Jacobson, DMD Uveneer is a new anterior facial matrix template system. The Australian ingenuity comes from Melbourne-based Sigal Jacobson, DMD, who has a passion for conservative cosmetic dentistry and newer-generation composites. Dr. Jacobson found traditional "freehand" direct composite veneers artistically challenging, time-consuming, unpredictable, and usually not cost-effective. After searching the marketplace for a tool to assist her, she found it to be nonexistent, so she designed and manufactured the Uveneer instrument herself. Spending 2 years with engineers designing, developing, and testing Uveneer, she produced the current patented design. Uveneer uses a special…
