 Thus far, a
dental room has been associated with the torture room with the most people awaking
deep fear of children and adults. Some of them are afraid of pain, the others
get in shock when looking at dental instruments, and the third are threatened
by bulky dental drilling machine. Therefore, sometimes people go and seek for a
dentist's help when they are really in very tight situation with their teeth.
Similar thinking
is hardly opportune for a sophisticated dental equipping and the latest
techniques in dentistry that are available for the dental specialists. As a fact, the present dental service with the
help of the best and latest techniques of European specialists, allow
performing treatment and surgical dentistry without pain and at a higher level
than a dozen of years ago.
So, what is
the criteria of current techniques of dental treatment? The main list you may see
in the following way:
-
a patient
does not feel pain neither unpleasant feeling;
- increasing
in useful time and quality of filled teeth which is possible by higher
durability, aesthetics and safety of the applied filling material;
- supplementary
improvement of dental implants;
- implementation
of latest technologies among which is laser dentistry;
- use of micro
prosthesis, metal ceramics either porcelain facing when teeth restoration, etc.
Nowadays dentists use the latest anesthetic agents to relieve pain on the base
of Articaine preparation that renders anesthetic six times as effective as
Novocaine that is neither toxic nor allergic. The length of intense anesthetic effect
of Articaine makes about six hours. The drug stores in most cases offer one of
the derivatives of this medication, that is Ultracaine that is sold for ready
use. Quite often Ultracine ingredients contain substances that have vasoconstrictive
effect which factor helps to prolong and intensify its activity. Manufacturers of
the present times practice adding these substances into the anesthetic agent
during the stage of preparation. Such technique helps to perform very complicated
painless surgery directly onto the tooth and inside the root canal, including
removal of tooth pulp (removal of tooth nerve). As compared with previously applied
arsenic the advantages are more than obvious: instant activity, intense effect,
no toxicity for organism. Earlier dentists would put the arsenic for two days at
least to have the time and "kill" the tooth nerve and after it should have been
removed off the tooth to avoid intoxication of the organism. Yet, the
anesthetic effect of arsenic was quite arguable.
As concerns
new filling materials, their peculiarities include more reliable
fixation
thanks to using special safe glues, as well as solidification under the
effect
of special lamps that is very convenient for the dentist to arrange a
proper
shape for the filling. Such fillings are called photo-polymeric. This
material is comfortable to use with "wrong" tooth surfaces. One more
kind of tooth filling of the latest
generation is glass-ionomer fillings. The cement of such fillings is
highly
resistant to physical and chemical factors, it is very durable and
makes teeth
look perfect.
The number of
persons who are in need of dental implants is growing, and the newest techniques
and implantation facilities are ready to offer high quality dental prosthesis
for these customers. Among of these materials is titanium BOI-implant that is
not subject to infections, does not disturb blood circulation in the lower jaw
and does not require expansion of bone tissue. And only one visit of the
dentist is required to put it. Besides, the implant may be put immediately
after the tooth extraction.
Porcelain facing
is like a covering material that helps to remove surface defects of the tooth (splits,
spots, wrong shape), and make your teeth look perfect.
And, finally,
laser dentistry on the base of short ray impulse that immediately increases
amount of moisture in the tooth which in its turn destroys pathogenic tissues.
Along with painless process laser provides bactericidal effect to teeth as
well, it kills pathogenic microbes which helps to avoid inflectional
complications.
The above
assortment of modern dental services is just the brief list of achievements in
development and sophistication of dental technologies. However it is quite sufficient
to get rid of all the fears and vestiges of the past and go and visit dental
rooms.
