The concept of Osseointegration by Branemark has opened up limitless possibilities and rehabilitation to the extent of involving not only single tooth or multiple teeth but also various developmental deformities and also extensive damage of jaws following injuries and resection of tumors. Dental implants have a long history dating back to prehistoric people where in they have used this technology (Bobbio A. Maya 1973, Tapia JL et al 2002). Dr.Norman Goldberg and Dr.Aaron Gershkoff did research on
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Gaithersburg, MD) Dr. Leonard Gordon, best known for developing the Gordon Protocol (TM) for implant arch prosthetic finalization, recently spoke to a group of dentist in Chinatown, NYC. This speech took place on May 13, 2015 and covered new innovations and proper techniques involving implant dentistry (http://gordondentalcare.com/dental-implants/). The implant arch prosthetic finalization allows one to replace multiple teeth with the use of implants and a partial or full
The use of amputation has changed With advances in weaponry came an increase in deaths and major limb injuries. During WWI the primary action was to amputate the limb rather than try and salvage it. This was due to the little time nurses, surgeons and anaesthetists had with each patient in the field hospitals, because they were overrun by more than double their expected capacity. There-fore, surgeons had to choose which critical patients to treat first, resulting in 41,000 ampu-tees during the First
The titanium implant is placed surgically inside the bone behind the ear. Because it is titanium, a process known as osseointegration is able to happen, where the titanium implant and the bone actually grow together, making the implant very stable and increasing the effectiveness of the device because the implant and bone are in direct contact with one another. Osseointegration is important because it prevents a fibrous capsule from forming around the implant which would impede the conduction of
Page 2 Dental implants are a fine solution for replacing missing teeth, but also the most expensive one. Dental implants are better because they don’t rest on your gums like removable dentures or use adjacent teeth for anchors like fixed bridges. Dental implants will be placed by your oral and maxillofacial surgeon and are surgically placed in your jawbone. Dental implants are the newest thing out to get that smile that you want when your teeth have been lost to many different types of injury or
The success and excellent durability of dental implants is dependent upon their ability to form direct contact with the surrounding jaw bone. This process is known as osseointegration and ensures that any prosthesis that is placed over the implant remains retained and stable, thereby restoring optimal functioning of the artificial tooth. Who Should Get an Implant? In general, any person who has one or more missing natural

He also holds a Mastership in the International Congress of Oral Implantology and is a member of the Academy of Osseointegration. Dr. Argeros is truly an experienced dentist and implant expert. A past president of the Massachusetts Dental Society of Anesthesiology, Dr. Argeros has been providing all types of dental treatment under intravenous sedation since 1977. He also
1.3 Radio Frequency Glow Discharge (RFGD) Treatment A typical Radio Frequency Glow Discharge (RFGD) device consists of a chamber filled with dilute gas (e.g. Oxygen/ Air, Carbon Tetrafluoride or Argon), and a coil wrapped around the chamber that gives the voltage needed to excite the gas (Figure 1.3). The gas in the chamber ionizes (i.e. becoming a plasma) when the voltage hits the striking voltage and starts conducting electricity, causing it to glow. The color depends on the gas used. The RFGD
Introduction In 1791, William Gregor discovered titanium in igneous rocks and its sediments and it is now the ninth most abundant element of the earth. However, the pure metal was only deduced in 1910, where Matthew Hunter heated TiCl4 with sodium at 700°C. Titanium is a strong and shiny metal with a melting point of 1670°C and boiling point of 3287°C1. Titanium displays a range of properties that allow it to be used in medical applications, where it is usually alloyed with metals such as Aluminium
Introduction Endodontics The aim of endodontic procedures is to get rid of the infection and of the periapical tissue Endodontic modalities include non-surgical root canal treatments such as primary root canal treatment, secondary root canal treatment (retreatments) and surgical periradicular treatments. Non-surgical root canal treatment aim to eradicate the bacteria in all the root canals. This can be achieved by removal of the infected pulp tissue, mechanical shaping, disinfecting the canals
INTRODUCTION Knee joint is complex structure in human body which undergoes critical loading simultaneously while performing different physical activities such as walking, running, in rotational motion, sitting, static positions etc. what we used to do in our day to day life. Major parts in a knee joint are femur, tibia, patella and meniscus. It has two articulation components one is in between tibia and femur and another in between femur and patella. Knee joint is a pivot hinge joint. It permits
