Dental Operating Microscope: The Third Dimension in Dentistry


Authored by Vineet RV

Abstract

The field of dentistry has seen an explosion of scientific developments over the last 30 years in the fundamental concepts, technologies, instruments and materials. These developments have improved the precision and predictability of dental treatment procedures. The most important revolution has been the introduction of the dental operating microscope. The tremendous visual acuity offered by the operating microscope revolutionized the discipline of endodontics. Dr. Gary Carr is considered as the pioneer of microscopic endodontics. The use of operating microscope has transformed the traditional blindfolded “tactile-based” endodontics to highly predictable “vision-based” endodontics. Human eye has an inherent ability to resolve or distinguish two separate entities that are at least 0.2mm, apart. Dental operating microscope can raise the resolving limit to about 0.006 mm, thus the resolution of human eye improves dramatically. This enhanced resolving power is extremely beneficial in producing precision dentistry. Restorative dentists, periodontists and endodontists routinely perform procedures requiring resolution well beyond the 0.2mm limit. Crown margin preparation, scaling procedures, incisions, root canal treatment, caries removal, furcation and perforation repair, post placement or removal, bone and soft tissue grafting procedures are the common dental procedures that demand tolerances well beyond the 0.2mm limit. The operating microscope is an invaluable tool in conventional endodontics.

            Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health The Effect of Pistacia Atlantica and Hypericum Perforatum as a Healing Accelerator Remedy on Induced Oral Mucositis in Male Golden Hamster- Juniper Publishers Authored by Nader Tanideh Abstract Oral mucositis is a painful condition that occurs as a side effect of chemotherapy. P. atlantica and H. perforatum have long been known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties as an alternative medicine. This study evaluated the healing effects of extraction of P. atlantica and H. perforatum, on 5-FU induced oral mucositis in golden hamsters by histopathology, clinically, and anti-oxidative assessments. Oral mucositis was induced in 60 male golden hamsters by administration of 5-FU (60mg/kg), on days 0, 5, and 10 of the study. Animals were randomly divided in 5 groups, (n=12). They were treated with hydro-alcoholic extract of H. perforatum (topical gel 10%) (Group 1), P. atlanti

Effective Use of Dental Implants and Prosthetics for Dental Missions: Clinical Case Presentations- Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DENTISTRY & ORAL HEALTH Effective Use of Dental Implants and Prosthetics for Dental Missions: Clinical Case Presentations Authored by Charles J Arcoria Abstract Dentists practicing in a mission setting have limited options for comprehensive treatment of patients because of the distance from the full resources available in conventional dental office setting. Because of the limited time aspect of team mission work, emergency extractions and limited operative treatment are typically performed. Inherently, the lack of follow-up care with extensive restorations and the need for proper maintenance, preclude many treatment modalities. As a result, this efficient but not simplistic model of mission dentistry is designed to deliver treatment that can be quickly accomplished with recurrent follow-up over a series of eight week time frames. These three clinical case presentations document the type of functional and esthetic tr

Several GTR materials and bone grafts have been attempted but showed variable success rates. Objective: The present randomized clinical and radiographic study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) by using equine bioabsorbable collagen membrane with or without equine bone graft in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects affected by aggressive periodontitis. Materials and Methods: Ten systemically healthy patients with 20 periodontal intrabony defects were enrolled as a split mouth design. These de
