Infection Control |
|
| |
Possible transmission of diseases in a dental clinic is a tangible reality.
|
Modern Dental Offices use autoclave (steam sterilizers) for sterilizing the dental instruments. Use of gloves, masks, protective eyewear, surgical scrubs, etc. are mandatory and all possible precautions are taken to reduce the risk of infection transmission.
|
|
| |
Four handed dentistry is recommended for better efficiency and foolproof sterilization. |

Metal Free Dentistry |
|
|
|
Given a choice no one likes to have metal crowns and bridges inside one's mouth. Apart from being unaesthetic, metal damages the opposing tooth surface by abrading (wearing) it. Metal is also known to cause allergy in some individuals. This is the reason that in many European countries metal crowns and bridges are actually banned. |
|
|
For making the metal crowns and bridges, sometimes the healthy tooth structure also needs to be cut- hence it is not a very conservative procedure.
|
|
|
Conservation of the tooth structure has always been the aim of a Dental Surgeon and a lot of time and money has gone into the research to develop a material which would be metal free as well as conservative in nature.
|
|
|
|
Targis Vectris is one such material which modern dental clinics use to make crowns and bridges- metal free as well as aesthetically pleasing |
|
|
|
|
The Material has
|
- High strength yet does not damage the opposing teeth.
- One can be conservative in cutting the tooth structure .
- It's greatest advantage is that minor changes can be done even after the crowns/bridges have been bonded inside the mouth.
- The crown is attached to the tooth structure by bonding, which is considered to be the strongest in terms of strength.
|
|
|
|
Though expensive, Metal Free Crowns and Bridges are technique sensitive and firmly established as a true alternative to earlier metal crowns and bridges. |
|
|
Advantages of Metal Free restoration are that they are bonded, aesthetic, tooth coloured (hence not easily visible) and provide fluoride release which helps in the prevention of further caries formation. |

Digital X-Ray |
|
| |
Use of Digital X-Rays makes dental procedures more precise, faster, more efficient and less time consuming.
|
|
|
- Eliminates the film processing delays.
- It reduces the patient and operator exposure to radiation by 80%.
- Patient education through explanations of images on the screen.
- It automatically calculates the distance from the end of the file to the apex and allows for measurement of the root canal.
- Images can be enlarged on the computer screen and specific findings and procedures can be better illustrated and discussed with patients before and after the treatment.
