Michael presented this case earlier in a German newsgroup. When he assessed the case, he thought the big fragment should be retrievable, for the second he should have a chance, and the little thing he considered impossible. So this was planned to be a case to
demonstrate you can do successful endo when you leave an instrument and make it part of the obturation. Then it turned out different. The first two could be removed the traditional way by ultrasonics, then he tried to bypass the little fragment with a prebent 06 file, hoping he might be able to get by. He found he could move the
instrument around it and loosen it. Finally he was able to rinse it out

Recession Proof Your Practice

Recession Proof Your Practice
Even in an economic downturn there are ways for your practice to thrive.

by Bunmi Ishola

The economy is in a bad place right now, but even as dentists are finding
recession-related gaps in their appointment books, many dentists and
consultants believe there are sound strategies that can help practices
survive and prosper.

Regardless of the economic situation, there will always be patients to
treat. If they are in pain, people will come calling, but patients who
view dental work as a luxury rather than a necessity may spur a declining
demand for elective and cosmetic treatments.

With the economy going down as it is, people tend to put dental procedures
at the bottom of the list, says Dr. John Sullivan. The veterinarian comes
before the dentist because people will take care of their pets before their
mouths.

Educating patients

During his 22 years in practice, Dr. Sullivan has faced several down economic
cycles but says this is the first time he’s noticed holes in the book.
The lack of perceived value of dental work plays a huge role during economic
recessions, and he says only a small number of patients without ongoing pain
will seek routine care or get major elective work.

ADA consumer advisor and spokesperson Dr. Matthew Messina says dentists
shouldn’t experience a decrease in basic procedures, but they need to educate
their patients on the importance of routine dental care. The message should
explain how preventive care is more effective, less expensive and far less
painful than treating a dental emergency. The two things he believes can
save dentists during a recession are, reinforcing the value of prevention
and getting back to the basics.

Demand may be down, but Dr. Peter Silver sees correctly marketed cosmetic
procedures as a way to keep high revenues coming in. In these effort the
Internet plays a vital role. Dr. Silver’s Web site is an essential marketing
tool for his New York practice, and he also uses online rating service Yelp!,
(yelp.com) where good reviews posted by patients provide strong recommendations
for potential patients. Since beginning to use the site, Dr. Silver says he’s
seen a monthly increase in patients.

Staff matters

Unfortunately the economic impact on practices is somewhat regional. Dental
consultant Sally McKenzie of McKenzie Management notes dentists practicing
in areas where the job market has dwindled considerably will have a harder
time navigating through the economic downturn. Practices offering limited
options for patients such as accepting only certain types of insurance or
over-pushing certain types of high end services can also suffer, but
McKenzie says poor customer service is where dental offices suffer the most.

The entire staff should be trained in internal marketing so they can answer
patient questions and inspire confidence in the patients. Dentists should
observe what’s being said in their offices and help their staff learn how to
answer tough questions from patients.

Make sure they get the training and make sure you meet with them regularly,
says consultant Ginny Hegarty, owner of Dental Practice Development, Inc.
[Dentists] spend a lot of time focusing on clinical continuing education,
but the administration needs regular training too. Telephone training,
verbal training; what a difference that can make.

Staff members need to be able to explain the value of dental care to patients,
but even the best explanation wont win over patients avoiding care because
they don’t think they can afford it. Hegarty suggests implementing phased
payment plans to encourage those patients to seek treatment. Many dental
offices aren’t aware they already have flexible payment options available.
Both Hegarty and McKenzie say dentists need to provide good leadership and
accountability for their staff members so everyone is working toward the
same goal.

Valuable down time

If the economy is reducing the number of patients seeking treatment, those
new holes in the schedule can be the perfect opportunities for professional
development and continuing education. Dr. Michael Goldberg, former director
of the practice management course at Columbia University, says the current
economy is a great time to make yourself and your practice better.

Now is the time to invest in continuing education, learn new things,he says.
Spend time with your patients; invest in the relationships you have with your
patients and keep in mind all the little things that make a practice valuable
to patients.

Dr. Eric Davis, a former president of the American Academy of Cosmetic
Dentistry, agrees that dentists with new-found free time should use it to take
continuing education courses. The extra time could also be used to take a much
coveted vacation without losing any productive moments.

But extra time in the day doesn’t have to be spent improving your clinical
expertise, it can also be used to solidify relationships with patients to help
make sure they return for future care. Dr. Davis says dentists should note
every cancellation and make follow-up calls. When patients are in the office,
spend extra time with them and offer reassurances that they are doing the right
thing by getting work done. I’m going to call it marketing, but it’s really
for the patient’s benefit,Dr. Davis says.Use that extra time as PR with
the patient.

Economic recessions are hard on just about everyone, and no industry is
completely recession-proof. However, there are many ways to use the recession
to your advantage. Dentists also need to remember one important thing:
In an extreme definition almost all dental services are discretionary,
Dr. Goldberg says. It’s a dentist’s job to make sure their service is a
necessity.

Sound marketing, thorough patient education, a strong and knowledgeable staff, a bit of flexibility with payment plans and taking advantage of your downtime
are ways to keep your practice strong and ready for the next economic boom.

Smoking and Dental Problems

Smoking and Dental Problems
Dental Problems Associated with Tobacco Use
From About.com
Updated: November 14, 2007

Low Cost Dental Care

Most of us know that smoking is bad for our health, but did you know
that smoking is also a major contributor to many dental problems?
Cigarettes aren't the only products only to blame. All forms of
tobacco, including cigars, smokeless tobacco and hookah water
pipes, pose dental health concerns.

Dental Problems Associated with Tobacco Use

Tobacco use...

greatly increases the risk for oral cancer, a disease that progresses rapidly and can be deadly if not diagnosed and treated early.

increases the risk of gum disease, which is one of the
leading causes of tooth loss in adults.

(smoking in particular) can slow down healing after oral surgery
procedures, such as having a tooth pulled.

can damage gum tissue and cause receding gums, leaving the roots
of the teeth exposed. This could increase the risk of tooth decay
and cause hot/cold sensitivity.

can cause bad breath.

causes stains on teeth that can't be removed with regular brushing.

can cause a build up of tartar, which could require you to get
more frequent dental cleanings.

Prevent diabetes problems: Keep your teeth and gums healthy

2009-01-27T03:29:00.000-08:00

A new report suggests that treating gum disease in patients who have diabetes with
procedures such as cleanings and periodontal scaling is linked to 10 to 12 percent
lower medical costs per month.

The findings are encouraging but the study was not designed to firmly establish
cause and effect, said George Taylor, University of Michigan associate professor of
dentistry, who also has an appointment in epidemiology in the U-M School of Public
Health. Taylor led the research project to investigate whether routine, non-surgical
treatment for gum disease is linked to lower medical care costs for people with diabetes.

In periodontal disease, the body reacts to the bacteria causing the gum infection
by producing proteins or chemicals called inflammatory mediators. Ulcers and open
sores in the gums become passageways for these proteins and for the bacteria themselves to enter the body’s blood circulation. These inflammatory mediators, as well as some parts of the bacteria, prevent the body from effectively removing glucose, or sugar, from the blood.

The higher level of blood sugar is known as poor diabetes control. Poor diabetes control leads to serious diabetes complications such as vision disorders, cardiovascular and kidney disease and amputations, among others.

Cleanings and other non-surgical periodontal treatment remove the harmful bacteria,
Taylor said. “We believe this helps prevent the body from producing those harmful chemicals that can enter the systemic circulation and contribute to poorer diabetes control.

Blue Care Network provided U-M researchers data from 2,674 patients aged 18-64 who were enrolled in BCN between 2001 and 2005 and had at least 12 consecutive months of medical, dental, and pharmaceutical coverage.

“We found insured adults with diabetes in Michigan who received routine periodontal
treatment, such as dental cleanings and scaling, have significantly lower medical care costs than those who do not,” Taylor said. “These results could be meaningful to
individuals, employers, health care providers and insurers.”

The study showed that medical care costs decreased by an average of 11 percent per month for patients who received one or two periodontal treatment procedures annually compared to those who received none. For patients receiving three or four annual treatments, costs decreased nearly 12 percent.

The study also showed that combined medical and pharmaceutical monthly costs were 10
percent lower for patients who received one or two periodontal procedures annually.

This lady came in on Friday 25.02.05 and needed the LL4 root treated. Duly done in single visit. The preparation was K3 40/06 and lateral condensation of GP with AH plus. The x-rays allowed me to compare my standards of treatment. The LL7 was treated in 1993, the LL6 in 2003,and the premolars Nov 2004, and Feb 2005. I am none too proud of the two molars .The quality of my treatment after joining compared to before bears no comparison...... LL4 ROOT
Chances are this could be a root fracture right? 10mm pocket on straight mesial and 7mm on ml. Patient really motivated to try to save the tooth and knows it might not work. This is one of those situations where 2 visits is a nice approach. No fx seen on access. Cleaned/shaped placed the white stuff. All pain went away after first visit. Finished it today-he said he’s a new man 10mm pocket
I zoom in on the pictures sent to me and let my mind absorb everything
that is to be noticed :
- It is difficult to judge the depth of the final clean cavity contour
without a radiograph, probably crown lengthening was not necessary
- Isolation was adequate and apparently served its purpose
- The interdental dam septum was torn by accident or on purpose,
I can not judge. Maybe this could have been avoided by separating
the two teeth a bit more with a fine diamond prior to installing the dam.

Distal root :Shaping the Canal: Internal bleaching : Molar case

2008-11-24T22:14:00.000-08:00

I hadn’t even gotten all of the amalgam out of the chamber when I started smelling that odor if you know what I mean. Shaped the canals and placed the white stuff. We’ll finish this next time and start on the first molar. Shaping the canals

This is just a regular case where RCT was done ( Hybrid tech K3 & LS). I did a internal bleaching and you can see the post op pictures Internal bleaching

5 canals were identified, debrided, disinfected and obturation performed using thermo-softened gutta-percha and resin sealer. The floor of the chamber and orifice interface of dentin and gutta-percha were bonded with a dentinal adhesive and flowable composite to prevent recontamination Distal root

This patient came to me in pain after 2 other general dentists had been seeing him. The last dentist, a friend of mine, tennis buddy, who has now closed his practice and gone to full time teaching at the local dental school, was treating ( by the patients description )
by draining the cyst and placing medication. The patient experienced several episodes of pain and numbing lip and it would go away when the dentist would treat it

The periodontal loss seems not as much as it was in reality. Guess pictures will speak by themselves. Patient feels good all teeht are tight and in function -

2008-11-06T20:50:00.000-08:00

This lower second molar case is a few weeks old but illustrates the point about time. The first clinical is after the case has been completely (or so I thought) prepared. The MB and MM canal "emptied" together when backdrawing on the irrigation syringe, but the ML did not empty. 15 minutes of doing nothing but NaOCl and a little patency, and voila, they all drain together. Think there might have been some crud down there? I took one last look around--and what a moron--I had missed the DB canal and it still had tissue in it. - John A. Khademi More .......

MTA and Fuji resorpsion repair FAILING

2008-11-06T20:43:00.000-08:00

This is an endo done on a cuspid about 12 years ago. I saw her a couple years later and found a large defect from apparent resorbsion. I flapped it, found no soft dentine, placed a glass ionomer ( I did not know about MTA then) and she left for a couple years.
I then a few years later found a pocket hat formed and then placed MTA Gray and Fuji 9 over that. This is a couple years after that (12 years after the endo. The photo is really 'gross' but her smile doesn't show it -thank God-. Advised implant. - Alan Cady More .......

Coronal leakage

2008-11-06T02:43:00.001-08:00

We already had a discussion about the lack of correlation between leakage studies
and the clinical reality, Paul Abbot has a nice paper about it. Here are some cases filled with gutta percha where the filling material was exposed to saliva for at least a year except for the 9 months case. Some remaining Cavity was all softened and there was recurrent decay in all cases. No symptoms and RX healing I all of them. - Jorge More ...........

Three missing canals

2008-11-05T08:22:00.001-08:00

In the preop x-ray it didn't really look like a microperforation and after entering the tooth I was quite sure that it hasn't been one. Instead of microns there had been some mm to close. After irrigation and cleaning the perforations margins with US I placed collagen as a barrier. After that I build my MTA-Dome which was covered by a low flowable composite, followed by Tetric Flow. After that I was able to
locate and negotiate the 3 missed canals. MB1 and MB2 had a quite deep
bifurcation. Contd.........

Abstract: Oral cancer is among the 10 most common cancers worldwide, and is especially seen in disadvantaged elderly males. Early detection and prompt treatment offer the best chance for cure. As patient awareness regarding the danger of oral cancer increases, the demand for “screening” is expected to increase. The signs and symptoms of oral cancer often resemble less serious conditions more commonly found and similarly usually presenting as a lump, red or white patch or ulcer. If any such lesion does not heal within 3 weeks, a malignancy or some other serious disorder must be excluded and a biopsy may be indicated. Dental health care workers have a duty to detect benign and potentially malignant oral lesions such as oral cancer and are generally the best trained health care professionals in this field. Prompt referral to an appropriate specialist allows for the best management but, if this is not feasible, the dental practitioner should take the biopsy which should be sent to an oral/head and neck pathologist for histological evaluation. (Am J Dent 2008;21:199-209).

Clinical significance: Early detection and prompt treatment offer the best hope to the patient with oral cancer, providing the best chance of cure. As patient awareness regarding the danger of oral cancer increases, the demand for “screening” is expected to increase.

Implants are here to stay......

2008-11-03T09:18:00.000-08:00

Implants are in

Patients are demanding them and manufacturers are improving them. Implants are here to stay, and our latest survey shows that many GPs are embracing them while others aren’t ready to commit.
For the survey results, click here.
By Renee Knight

The concept of a dental implant and what it can do has always made sense to patients. But the dental profession, that’s a different story.

Dr. Carl Misch, founder of the Misch International Implant Institute (misch.com), spent the first 10 years of his now 30-year career trying to get his colleagues to see the benefits implants can bring their patients and their practices. Back then, doctors weren’t convinced that implants were a predictable long-term option.

It’s safe to say those days are gone.

Implant dentistry has exploded in recent years and is widely accepted by patients and dentists. The resistance is gone and patients are more aware that implants are an option that can improve their quality of life for years.

“It is the best alternative the majority of the time,” Dr. Misch said. “It’s better than cutting down adjacent teeth and starting a cascade of destruction.”

The latest DPR Exclusive Implant Survey Report shows that GPs are jumping on the implant bandwagon. Many of those surveyed are involved with some aspect of implant dentistry, with 94% taking part in restoration and 19% placing implants.
