   An Overview of Evidence-Based Dentistry Research For evidence based dentistry (EBD) to become a valid part of an EBD profile, consideration(s) must be given to the fact that dental care trends be an elective service that is directly related to cost. This sets dental care completely apart from medical care. Traditionally, academia has been successful in influencing lawmakers about healthcare reform. Minnesota's Dental Therapist Legislation is the perfect example. In 2009, the Minnesota State Legislature enacted legislation supported by the Minnesota School of Dentistry as well as the Offices of the Minnesota Dental Association (not the membership), to graduate a…

   VIEWPOINT continued from page 10 NO. 3: TOO MANY SPECIALISTS CAN INFLATE THE COST OF CARE The overutilization of "specialists" and/or the underutilization of "generalists" for routine oral surgical, endodontic, pediatric, and periodontal treatment is making a profound impact on the cost of many dental services. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, dental schools throughout the United States educated students to extract teeth, do root canal treatment, and periodontal surgery, as well as traditional restorative dentistry. As the 1980s and 1990s emerged, the dental schools found it profitable to teach postgraduate oral surgery, endodontics, and periodontics outside of the traditional averydental…

   FOCUS ON: Anterior Indirect Restorations Lee Ann Brady, DMD, explains anterior indirect restorations in today's practice. Q: When is a crown indicated over a veneer? A: For many dentists the go to technique is a full coverage crown. In my experience this grows out of our comfort with the preparation of teeth for crowns, which of course is balanced by a discomfort with anterior veneer restorations for many of us. Along with this, we also have the challenges of fabricating provisionals for veneers as well as the most technique sensitive process of bonding the restorations to place. I believe the…

   INTERVIEW: George Green, DDS, Drinkable Air Technologies 1 You are a practicing dentist and a trained microbiologist. When did you first become aware of a problem with dental operatory waterline contamination? I believe it was in dental school, when the students first entered the dental clinic. We were introduced to the new protocol for the morning start up when entering the dental operatory. In those days, the water in the cuspidor was to be turned on and run continuously for a few minutes. The doctors' and assistants' air/water syringes were to be flushed (usually into the same cuspidor) for at…

    In First Impressions, George Freedman, DDS, gives readers a brief summary of products that have recently been introduced to dentistry, based on his clinical experience. BeautiCem SA Fluoride-Releasing Self-Adhesive Resin Cement Shofu Cements have been morphing exponentially during the past decade. The profession has shifted dramatically from the older, nonadhesive, nonaesthetic luting cements to the newer, aesthetic and fluoride releasing adhesive resin and ionomer-based cements. Traditionally, the cement has been the weakest link in the crown and bridge system, the restoration was imperious to breakdown and the marginal tooth structure could be maintained effectively in the long term. The often…
