DiFOti (Digital Fiber Optic Trans-illumination) Info Uses visible light not ionizing radiation. Its method is based on the fact that carious lesion scatters light, using this to distinguish the lesion from health enamel. Light is passed through the tooth and collected by a camera and sent to a computer screen, then the image is displayed Detection of caries on proximal, smoot, occlusal surfaces and recurrent caries but cannot visualize sub gingival lesions (because light can’t reach it). Source of light for the inter‐proximal is from either the buccal or lingual surface with the camera on the opposite side. While…
Endocarditis Encocarditis is the inflammation of the inner tissue of the heart AKA the Endocardium. It usually involves the heart valves (natural or prosthetic valves). Infective Endocarditis Infective Endocarditis is a form of endocarditis in which the causative agent is an infectious agent (most commonly bacteria) but other agents as well could be the cause. Mechanism of Infection To begin with, micro organisms usually live in our mouth, skin, intestine and urinary track, but not in our blood. However some microorganisms can enter the bloodstream (via surgery or dental procedure). For most people theses microorganisms don’t pose a threat to…
SmartPrep Instruments (Smart Bur, Polymer Bur) Concept It’s a medical polymer that has the ability to remove decayed dentine while keeping the healthy dentin. It’s based on the concept that its hardness is less than healthy dentine while harder than the carious dentin. Thus, it has the ability to self-limit(selectively) what it cuts, which means it will only cut what is carious and if it’s in contact with healthy dentin the bur will only wear away (when extensive force isn’t used) . Technique It is used on low speed handpiece (500 – 800 up too 4000 rpm).…
Carisolv (Chemo‐mechanical caries removal ) Composition The use of Carisolv is a technique used to remove caries and decay with minimal invasive techniques. It is composed of 0.5% sodium hypochlorite and 0.1% M amino acids “Glutamine, leucine and lycine”, each materiel has a specific function : Hypochlorite (dissolves the decayed dentine). Amino acid (buffering solution to prevent damage to the healthy tissue). N.B: The amino acid and hypochlorite will react with the denatured Collagen Tissue of dentine (Infected dentine) making soft and easily removed with hand instruments. How is it done? Apply mix to lesion. The lesion will dissolve.…
Ozone Delivery System Ozone is considered to be one of the most useful gas to treat quite a number of ailments related to dentistry, so what is it exactly ?
Laser in tooth preparation Info: Laser: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Types: CO2, Er:YAG and He:YAG Er:YAG: (Erbium-Doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet) is mostly used because its wavelength is specific to the tooth structure. The effect of the laser of tissue depends on its laser wave length. How it works: The laser energy ablates the tissue by being absorbed by cellular water thus rapid increase in temperature and pressure leading to micro-explosion of the dentine and enamel. The more the tissue absorbs the laser the more effective it is, while less absorption means deep penetration and danger to…
