Patients with type 2 diabetes and tooth loss, gum problems more likely to be nutrient-deficient
A new joint, cross-sectional study by the Clinic Masae Minami/Minami Diabetes Clinical Research Center and the international oral health-care company Sunstar investigated the relationship between the number of teeth, self-reported gum condition, and intake of food and nutrition.
Regenerative medicine: Better bone growth biologics for periodontists
Dental implants restore a patient’s ability to chew when a native tooth has been damaged beyond repair and must be extracted. When an implantation is successful, an onlooker would never know that the implanted tooth is not a natural part of the patient’s smile. In the US alone, approximately 5 million implants are placed every year.1 However, their failure rate remains unacceptably high.
Burning mouth syndrome: Etiology, symptoms, and treatment modalities
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic oral condition characterized by burning sensations and pain in the absence of clinical mucosal changes. It tends to affect more middle-aged and elderly women, typically on the tongue, lips, and hard and soft palate areas. Patients may also experience unremitting mucosal pain, dysgeusia, or xerostomia. BMS can be divided into two clinical forms: primary and secondary.
Dental abscess caused by improper dental laser use
Technology is great … until it isn’t. Dental lasers have long been in use and have made advanced invasive procedures easier to perform with minimal healing required. Knowledge on how to use these lasers from both biological and clinical aspects is necessary to avoid adverse outcomes. This case study demonstrates what can happen when lasers are used incorrectly. Case presentation A 49-year-old male presented with pain at tooth no. 9. A labial fistula was clinically present (figure 1).
Avoid a 'crack of shame': Consequence of unidentified inaccuracy during lab workflow for a full-arch implant-supported restoration
ALSO BY THE AUTHORS ... Prosthetic screw loosening: An innovative technique to manage a commonplace complication with dental implants A full-arch restoration on transmucosal abutments was planned. A rigid resin pattern, open-tray, implant level impression was taken (figure 1). The laboratory provided the dentist with straight, transmucosal abutments (figure 2) and a verification jig that was used to verify occlusion, phonetics, and esthetics (figure 3).
