There are a few steps that are covered during every trip to the dentist, including identifying the problem areas, visualizing the problem, and then eliminating the problem. But there is one infection elimination technique that dentists can incorporate into that cycle, but many do not use, according to Philip Mollica, DMD, who spoke at the Updates in Contemporary Dentistry Meeting.
Dr. Mollica told the audience in attendance that they should consider incorporating ozone into the elimination portion of their routine examination.
Direct Composite Resins Can Lead to Everyday Success
A dentist that is contemplating changing direct composite resin products should do thorough research beforehand, and refrain from letting sales representatives be his or her only source of information, according to a speaker at the Dental Learning-sponsored event, “Updates in Contemporary Dentistry,” held here.
G. Franklin Shull, Jr., DMD, who has a private practice in Lexington, SC, addressed a group of about 350 dentists and noted that although he believes the innovations being made with porcelain “will change the way we’re practicing, there are people who cannot afford ceramics, and we need to offer viable restorations for these patients.”
Also, dentists need to be aware of the best technology to complete these restorations, he said, adding that nanotechnology is the “wave of the future.”
