3D Imaging in Daily Practice 

COURSE SUMMARY

In this 1-hour video, Don White, PhD will discuss new discoveries that reveal in more clarity just how anti-microbials such as stannous fluoride work in treating and preventing gum diseases. These discoveries show that toxic bacteria are present in the sulci of persons in both clinically diseased and healthy sites.

Dental Training: Skills for Dental Impression Mastery by dentist Todd Snyder

Summary: A “painless injection” is the #1 criterion for the patient to judge a dentist and several aspects must be taken into account in order to perform a painless, comfortable and effective anesthetic injection. In this program Professor Malamed will discuss the means to making dental local anesthetic injections both more effective and more comfortable – even with pulpitis. Topics include: articaine; buffering (the local anesthetic ‘on switch’); phentolamine (the local anesthetic ‘off switch’); and computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery (C-CLAD). An algorithm for more successful mandibular anesthesia will also be presented.

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block (IANB)

Inferior alveolar nerve block is the most commonly anesthetic technique used in dentistry. 

It is also of interest for anesthetists, as it could be used effectively to produce anesthesia and analgesia for many surgical procedures involving areas of its sensory distribution,. These areas include the chin , the lower lip and its mucous membrane , the body of the mandible and part of its ramus . The lingual nerve often gets anesthetised in the same block procedure due to its close proximity  , producing anesthesia of the anterior two thirds of the tongue as well as the floor of the mouth.
