    Dental Fear in the New Economy "I was never afraid of anything in the world except the dentist." —Taylor Caldwell, author (b. 1900 - d. 1985) PHYSICAL COST OF DENTAL FEAR Dental fear (odontophobia) is a real and very debilitating condition that can cause a myriad of health problems. Health problems can increase, from bad breath, tooth decay, and gingivitis to infections that can spread throughout the body. According to selfhelpcollective.com, dental fear ranks higher than the fear of snakes, fear of needles, and fear of God. It has been reported that approximately 75% of US adults experience some degree…

    VIEWPOINT continued from page 10 Like any unfamiliar skill, if dental providers are not trained fully in how to work surgically with dental anesthesia, then they will not utilize this valuable resource in practice and fear its potential. Advanced-trained dentist anesthesiologists can provide dental providers the advantage of getting more procedures done in shorter appointment times, reduce patient appointment visits, reduce patient and hospital healthcare costs, and allow more hospital operating rooms to be available to in-hospital services. As advances in oral medicine pave the road for the dental surgeon-dentist anesthesiologist practice model, it becomes equally important to advance the…

    continuous or interrupted, has led to an increase in instrument separation, the production of dental microcracks, and a reduced resistance to vertical root fracture further aggravated by an increasing degree of instrument taper. By using K-reamers modified with a flat along their working length and confined to short arcs of motion, first by hand and then in a 30° reciprocating handpiece oscillating at 4,000 cycles per minute, we take advantage of the reamer design without succumbing to the weakness inherent in rotary NiTi systems. So, I appreciate Dr. Germain's clinical insights, but again, from my perspective and an increasing amount…

    CariVu by DEXIS Facilitates Highly Accurate Caries Detection Without Ionizing Radiation Grant Smith, DDS There are many reasons to implement new technologies for the dental office, but in my opinion, certain products are just a sensible choice. Such is the case with CariVu by DEXIS. A caries detection device, it uses transillumination technology, a near-infrared (NIR) light source that illuminates both sides of the tooth simultaneously to detect carious lesions and cracks interproximally, occlusally, and around cracks and restorations. The CariVu image looks very similar to an x-ray, but this device does not involve ionizing radiation. While other types of…

    FOCUS ON: Endodontics Clifford J. Ruddle, DDS, analyzes the reasons behind the many new file systems currently flooding the endodontic marketplace. Q: Recently, a staggering number of new file systems have appeared on the market for shaping canals. Would you explain this phenomenon? A: Absolutely. It is true that there has been a rather recent and relentless parade of new file systems that have appeared in the endodontic marketplace. Internationally, there are about 40 to 50 identifiable file systems currently available for preparing canals. This flood of so-called "new" file systems is causing considerable confusion for many general dentists and…

    The Power of Anesthesia-Free Procedures Michael Cataldo, CEO, Convergent Dental Modern anesthetics made its debut in October 1846, when a dentist named William T.G. Morton used his unique "Letheon" mixture during a surgical procedure at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Today, dental professionals around the world administer modern-day equivalents routinely to their patients—and are unwittingly allowing revenue to slip through their fingers. With traditional tools, valuable time is lost injecting patients, waiting for numbness, and controlling bleeding. To make matters worse, anesthesia limits dentists to working in only one quadrant of the mouth per visit due to the risk of…

    Microbial Dark Matter... continued from page 50 ery in my 30-year career," said Dr. Wenyuan Shi, professor of oral biology, UCLA. "It provides the roadmap for us to make every uncultivatable bacterium cultivatable." The researchers cultivated a specific type of TM7 called TM7x, a version of TM7 found in people's mouths, and found the first known proof of a signaling interaction between the bacterium and an infectious agent called Actinomyces odontolyticus, or XHoo1, which causes mucosal inflammation. "Once the team grew and sequenced TM7x, we could finally piece together how it makes a living in the human body," said Dr.…

    New Findings About Cause of Osteonecrosis Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a debilitating and painful condition in which oral lesions develop in individuals taking drugs such as bisphosphonate or denosumab, which are commonly used in treatments for osteoporosis and for cancers that have spread to the bones. For people taking these drugs, one of the most significant side effects is bisphosphonate-related or denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ or DRONJ, respectively). Scientists have speculated that bisphosphonates and denosumab cause ONJ based on how they effectively inhibit the functions of osteoclasts. However, the extent to which osteoclasts contribute to the…

    aspect of tooth No. 24 would require a blood supply from underneath the vital structures to survive, and the nonvital implanted bone graft could not assist in the survival of another entity (connective tissue). However, bone grafting can be done after soft-tissue grafting when the deficiency of soft tissue at the recipient site has been corrected. Because the lack of soft tissue at the recipient site was pronounced, a large graft was harvested (Figures 2 to 10) from the premolar area, since it has the potential to provide thicker grafts with adequate vascularity that are less likely to recede.1,5 A…
