The first tool that oral professionals use for caries detection is done visually by using their eyes. The oldest method for detecting the changes within the tooth structure is the microporosity of enamel, which is done with the transmission of light through the enamel. Next, would be color changes within the tooth enamel and dentin followed by defects within the enamel. These all can be detected with the direct vision by the clinician’s eyes or vision associated with a mirror and a standard dental light. In addition, by detecting a small dental defect a small, rounded-end dental explorer or probe can be used (Braga., 2010; Van Dorp., 1988; Ekstrand.,

Overview Dental hygienists work alongside dentists to provide preventative dental care that includes cleaning teeth and teaching patients good hygiene. They also take and develop dental x-rays, apply sealants and, in some states, even place and carve fillings. They can't diagnose diseases, but dental hygienists can prepare clinical and diagnostic tests for the dentist to interpret. Training and Education To become a licensed dental hygienist, applicants must first graduate from an accredited dental hygiene school and pass a written and clinical test. Most states also require an examination on the legal aspects of the practice.

Restoring a single discolored tooth in the anterior region and achieving ideal esthetics is a demanding task and a clinical challenge for the dental practitioner. Tooth discoloration can be caused by various reasons including intra-pulpal hemorrhage, dental trauma or endodontic treatment and can be confronted with different treatment plans1. Tooth whitening, home or in-office bleaching for vital teeth and internal bleaching for non-vital teeth, should be the first choice of treatment, being the least invasive techniques2. However, if a bleaching procedure cannot be implemented or has been applied without a satisfactory outcome, other conservative options should be considered, such as resin composite or ceramic veneers. The improved mechanical
Dental Implants A dental implant can be easily understood as the process of replacing the root/roots of teeth. There are many reasons to get a dental implant, some people lose their teeth in accident, or it might get decayed. It is better to get a dental implant and have a nice set of teeth rather than worrying about the lost or decayed tooth. People who have undergone the process describe it little painful. The process is carried out by highly trained professionals.
The aim is to improve treatment with highly specific area of focus without damaging surrounding tissues. Lasers have been used in dentistry since 1994. In general laser work by transporting energy in the form of light. When used for surgical and dental procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporizer of tissue that it comes in contact with. When used for curing or filling, the laser helps to strengthen the bond between the filling and the tooth.
By the time members of your dental team will have achieved their qualification and applied for registration to work with you in practice, a period of approved training will have been completed and sufficient clinical experience will have been gained thus ensuring the necessary procedures and protective measures were learned (quite literally) to a degree that ensures those risks inherent in clinical dentistry will have been minimized to an acceptable level. Nevertheless with years of practice once more, through a process of risk-normalization the chances of an inoculation injury will begin to rise again. One way to reduce this problem is by practicing dentistry that is minimally invasive and so the risks can be reined in once more. Even if this
NURS 605: HEALTH POLICY AND LEADERSHIP Learning Product 1: Guideline On Perinatal Oral Health Care Leslie K. Greager Metropolitan State University Dental caries, a multifactorial bacterial disease, can be transmitted from a parent to a child from the time of birth (ASTDD, 2012). It is during the perinatal period that oral hygiene practices are crucial in the prevention of dental disease. During pregnancy, women experience complex physiological changes such as diet, oral hygiene practices, and nausea and vomiting (morning sickness) which can adversely affect oral health. According to the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (2012), the prevalence of gingivitis during pregnancy ranges from 30 to 100 percent while the manifestations of periodontal disease during pregnancy range from 5 to 20 percent. Maternal periodontal infection may pose a possible risk factor for preterm deliveries, low birth weight babies, and preeclampsia (Guideline on Perinatal Oral Health Care, 2011).
Tooth is captured in its anatomic form while impression of soft tissue, must be made in such manner as to record the tissues in a functioning form. IMPRESSION TECHNIQUES Basically two dual impression techniques Physiologic / functional Selective pressure Impression technique Impression technique 1. McLean & Hindel’s techniques 2. Functional Relining Technique 3. Fluid wax technique Altered cast impression technique Or Corrected cast impression technique In both the fluid wax functional impression technique and selective pressure technique, an impression of the displaced edentulous ridge is made using an impression tray attached to the framework, and the master cast is altered to accommodate the new ridge impression.
