A dental extraction is a common but painful and time-consuming procedure. However, patients prefer dental extraction for long-term relief from tooth problems. As a result, a dentist has to go through this procedure several times per day. So, they prefer to use ergonomic tools such as a periosteal elevator to make the procedure less complex. Dentistry has come a long way in the last few decades. Previously, it was difficult to extract a tooth directly with forceps or any dental tool. The invention of the periosteal dental elevator has simplified the tooth extraction procedure for dentists. Now, they can perform oral surgeries with less possible trauma. Moreover, these are very useful and unique oral instruments that make a dentist's job easier and more efficient. Let's go over the specifics of periosteal elevators, how to use them, and how they can help with dental procedures. What are Periosteal Elevators? The dental periosteal elevator is a useful dental tool that assists dentists in tooth extraction procedures. This double-ended tool has a long slender shape along with slightly curved and thin working ends. The tool helps to separate the periosteum from the tooth. Its fine and sharp tip is ideal for uplifting the thick, soft tissue flaps for easy tooth extraction. How to Operate Periosteal Elevators? The surgical periosteal elevator assists dentists during oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures. The tool is easy to use during the extraction procedures and delivers the maximum force. Dentists can use it to impart forces on tooth particles in order to luxate the tooth. This is a good way to expand the tooth socket so you can easily remove it without harming the nearby tissues. In addition, its ergonomic shape can raise the tissues around the tooth in a cervical manner to provide obvious exposure to the surgical site. This way, the operator can efficiently and feasibly proceed and complete the tooth extraction procedure. Instructions While Operating Periosteal Elevators There are a few things to consider before using periosteal dental elevators. First, the operator should take precautions to avoid damaging the adjacent tooth. Avoid Excessive Force Avoid applying greater force to the instrument while operating it on the target area. It can damage the surgical site and make the procedure more complex. Grasp Tool Correctly Carefully grab the instrument from the serrated area to avoid any slippage. If the dentist does not grasp the tool correctly, there is a chance of damage while raising the flaps. Apply At the Exact Location When imparting force, dentists should apply the force at the exact point. Even a millimeter of deflection can cause a bone fracture. So, make sure to apply force at the exact point while manipulating tissues. Otherwise, it can fracture the alveolar bone. Sharp Rough Tips The most important thing that needs to be considered before use is the tip sharpness. The elevator's working ends get rough after being used in a surgical procedure. So, make sure to keep the instruments' tips sharp and pointed to avoid shredding the tissue flaps. Handling & Positioning of Periosteal Elevators As you are aware, the effectiveness of any surgical procedure is primarily determined by the correct handling of the instrument. Especially for the surgical periosteal elevator, the correct handling and positioning are crucial in the luxation process. So, continue reading below to learn more about elevator positioning: The dorsal surface of the instrument’s working end needs to contact the stiff intraoral points. The tip's ventral surface should make contact with the hard point of the targeted tooth. Dentists need to be aware of the exact direction, elevator contact points, and also the magnitude of the tip force. The sectioning of the tooth or the removal of bone provides more room for the positioning of elevators. Maintenance Of Periosteal Elevators Regular care and maintenance are compulsory processes for dental surgical instruments. In addition, healthcare professionals recommend routine inspection of the tools as it is a matter of the patient's overall health. Dentists use periosteal elevator surgical instruments almost on a daily basis. That’s why they should also need to thoroughly inspect its efficacy and sharpness. The elevator’s tip needs to be sharp before using it in dental extraction procedures. Conclusion Dentists should use the periosteal elevator with caution to get the most out of them. However, it is an essential dental surgical tool, and its correct use can feasibly and smoothly remove the impacted tooth. If you're looking for these versatile instruments, GerDentUSA is a good place to start. They have been producing and selling dental instruments for over three decades. They provide dentists with professional dental tools to make their work easier and more precise. The best thing about them is that they manufacture ergonomic dentistry tools with German stainless steel, making instruments more robust and long-lasting. So go ahead and upgrade your dental clinic with some cutting-edge tools to better serve your patients. FAQs What Is the Difference Between an Anglevator and a Periosteal Dental Elevator? A periosteal dental elevator is a unique dental surgical tool to luxate the tooth before tooth extraction. On the other side, the anglevator is an innovative multifunctional tool, as it performs the functions of six instruments. It is the combination of six dental tools, including a luxator, proximator, periotome, crane pick, elevators, and chisels. Why Handling the Periosteal Dental Elevator is Important for Dental Procedures? Incorrect handling of the instrument enhances the chances of slippage during the dental procedure. This can lead to significant complications and more painful procedures. That’s why dentists need to be careful while holding the instrument in surgical operations.
Dr. Priyanka Shingore April 11, 2019 The tooth which is broken or weakened cannot perform its activity. A crown can be placed to make the tooth structure stronger. It is a restoration process of the remaining tooth structure. What is a crown? A crown is an artificial replacement that if placed over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. A crown is sometimes also called a ‘cap’. Why would I require a crown? Crowns are typical restoration for teeth that have been cracked or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. A crown can help for several other reasons, for instance: • People who have discolored fillings and would like to improve the appearance of the tooth • You may have had a root filling which may need a crown to protect what is left of the tooth. • You may help hold a bridge or denture firmly in place. • Crowns can improve the appearance of teeth. What is a crown made of? Crowns can be made of different materials and new materials are continually being advanced. Some of the most popular options are listed below. Porcelain bonded to precious or non-precious metal: This is what most crowns are made from. A precious or non-precious metal base is made and then porcelain is used in layers atop it. Porcelain crowns: These are made completely out of porcelain and are not as strong as bonded crowns, but they can look very natural and are most often used for front teeth. All-ceramic crowns: This advanced technology offers a metal-free option, which can give the health of a bonded crown and the appearance of a porcelain crown. Glass: These crowns look like a natural tooth and are used on both front and back teeth. Gold alloy crowns: Gold is one of the best and oldest filling materials, today it is worked with other metal alloys to increase its strength, which makes it a very hard-wearing restoration. These crowns are silver or gold in color. What will happen in my appointment? A temporary crown will be fit to the tooth so that you can utilize the tooth while you wait for the crown to be made. This crown may be more noticeable and not highly comfortable but is only a temporary measure. How long does the treatment take? You will need to have at least two visits. In first visit your dentist will take the impression, shade taking, and he may fit the temporary crown. In the second visit, the permanent crown will be cemented. There will usually be about 1 to 2 weeks duration required in between appointments. Does it pain while preparing the tooth for a crown? No, your dentist may give you a local anesthetic and the preparation should feel no different from a filling. If the tooth does not have a nerve, and a post crown is being fixed, then you may not require a local anesthetic. Will the crown be noticeable? The crown will be made to match your other teeth as closely as possible. The color of the adjacent teeth will be registered, to make that the color looks natural and matches the surrounding teeth. Will the crown feel different? Since the shape of the crown will be slightly different from the shape of your natural tooth, you will realize it initially. Within a few days, it should feel normal, and you will not notice it. How should I take care of my crown? How long your crown remains depends on how well you look after it. The crown itself cannot get the cavity, but the cavity can start where the edge of the crown joins the tooth. Therefore, to prevent cavity affecting the crown, it is important to keep this area just as clean as you would your own teeth. Brushing two minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and clean in between your teeth with interdental brushes or floss thread. How long will the crown last? Crowns can last for many years id it is taken care of. Your dentist will be able to tell you how long the crown may be expected to remain.
Dr. Ankita Gada February 27, 2020 1. Clean Your Aligners Properly Clear aligners have to be taken care of that includes avoiding discolouration, odour and building up of bacteria that will not only spoil the transparency of the aligners but also affect the health of the teeth. Here, are some suggestions on how to clean aligners or trays. Every morning after getting up, while brushing clean your clear aligners as well as your teeth thoroughly. The reason behind cleaning the trays is that while sleeping the clear aligners are prone to get attached to the bacteria which can be a harmful situation. Make sure to clean your aligners every morning properly. When you remove the clear aligners, make sure to rinse them properly with water. To avoid problems like dry saliva, and the building of plaque, make sure to rinse it properly once you remove it from the mouth. You can also use an anti-bacterial soap to clean the aligners as it will stop the growth of bacteria. Brush the clear aligners with a soft-bristled brush so that there is no scratch on it. And also at the same time, it will help to remove the plaque. The best solution to keep your aligners clean and fresh is to soak them. Soak them by using denture cleaner or Clear braces cleaning crystals. Make sure to soak them every day. Once the soaking procedure is done, use a new toothbrush for the cleaning and rinse it again before wearing it again in your mouth. It is necessary to brush and floss your teeth before wearing clear aligners. If you wear it without brushing and flossing it will lead to the growth of cavities and other dental issues. 2. Never Leave Your Clear aligners Trays Out in the Open Clear aligners should be given the utmost care to get positive results. Hence, it is necessary to be taken care of. Once you remove the trays or aligners make sure that you don’t keep them open. If you keep it exposed to the open space it will be highly prone to the building of the bacteria and also you may be a part of losing them. Hence, a better solution to it is that, keep them in a case or a box all the time to keep it safe. In case, if you keep it open make sure to rinse them before wearing them as it destroys all the bacteria that has built up. 3. Don’t Use Toothpaste to Clean Your Trays Toothpaste is good for your teeth, but not for the aligner as it can discolor it can cause damage to it. Trays may lose the sheen due to the use of toothpaste, which will be notified in your mouth. The concept and the characteristics of wearing clear aligners are that people shouldn’t notice that you are wearing them for the correction of the teeth. Hence, avoid usage of toothpaste, as it has chemical ingredients that can be a great loss to your aligners. Make sure that you don’t use soap that is colored and scented. If you take the risk of using them on your trays the outcome will ruin you by wearing the aligners. It will give an unpleasant smell when you wear it in your mouth. 4. Your Mouth Will Need Time to Adjust The best benefit of wearing aligners is that it is not that difficult to adjust, just like other types of braces. But as your set of teeth moves in the position, aligners are necessary to be adjusted accordingly. In the case of aligners, there are no braces appliances used like metal wire, brackets, on your teeth, so you don’t expect any irritation. Just like the wearing of retainers after braces, it is necessary to wear aligners. It can be adjusted by removing it and wearing it again. 5. The Designation of your Clear aligners Provider Matters It is necessary to know that, by wearing braces every day you will surely get your results. Hence, keeping and giving a positive impact it is necessary to wear clear aligners. Expert Opinion Dr. Rupali Gujar Dental Director of Sabka dentist says “After wearing clear aligners it is necessary to care about it. It should not lose the character of being transparent. Hence, the following are the tips that will avoid the mess if you follow it properly.”
Dr. Ankita Gada February 25, 2019 A few years ago, a badly infected, painful tooth, or one that had significant decay, was needed to be extracted. Today, most of these teeth can be saved by a special dental procedure called root canal therapy. Indications: A root canal treatment will be performed when a tooth’s nerve and associated blood vessels are irreversibly infected. For example: • A tooth damaged by trauma. • A fractured tooth. • The deep cavity that has infected the nerve. Signs And Symptoms: • Severe pain in the tooth (especially noticeable when lying horizontally i.e.in bed at night). • There may also be swelling in your jaw. • The tooth may be painful while chewing. • Pain and sensitivity consuming hot and /or cold foods. • Teeth that are severely chipped or worn out. Though the condition of the tooth seems severe, a dentist can save your tooth by removing the diseased nerve tissue. A dentist follows the procedure of cleaning and then filling the nerve chamber. Most of the time a root canal is a simple procedure with little or no discomfort. It may involve one to four or more visits. Best of all, it can rescue the tooth and your smile. The treated tooth usually can function like a natural tooth after root canal therapy. Extraction is truly the last resort! Your dentist can help even though the condition seems unfavorable. He/she will examine the mouth and assess the extent of the damage. They will further discuss the dental history and examines your teeth and gums. X-rays will be taken if required. This allows your Dentist to see the inside of your teeth and gum bone. Unhealthy Tooth Bacteria can invade your tooth through any of the small holes such as a loose filling, a cavity or crack. When it enters the pulp, your pulp becomes infected. Eventually, the bacteria may destroy the pulp (pulp is the innermost layer of the tooth). At this stage, it may or may not indicate some symptoms. However, a root canal treatment will successfully save this tooth. If the tooth is not treated in this condition, the infection may even spread to your bone (abscess). Why do I need root canal treatment? Without treatment, the infection will spread the surrounding teeth and bone and eventually tooth may fall out. The pain usually increases which leads a dental emergency. In this situation, the only alternative will be the extraction of the tooth, which can cause surrounding teeth to shift and weaken. Though an extraction is cheaper, an implant or a bridge to replace the tooth can be more expensive than root canal therapy. If you have a choice, it is always recommendable to keep the original tooth. However, there are limitations, and at a time treatment may not be possible. Allow your dentist to decide. What is involved in root canal therapy? Your treatment may take one or more visit, where the nerve of the offending tooth is removed and the root canal is subsequently filled. Your dentist may incorporate x – rays, it is ensured that the full length of your root canal is treated. If your roots are abnormally shaped or there are other complications, you may need to have apical surgery (Apicoectomy) as advised by your dentist. Root Canal Procedure: • Step 1: The tooth is anesthetized, and an opening is made through the crowns into the pulp chamber. • Step 2: The length of the root canal is examined. Infected pulp will be removed. The canals are enlarged, cleaned, and shaped with special root canal files and disinfecting solutions will be applied. • Step 3: Once the tooth is free from infection, the tooth is filled with a special root canal filling material like gutter perch and sealed with a temporary filling. • Step 4: A post core may be placed for structural support. Usually, metal or porcelain crown is made for the tooth to provide further protection. Do children require root canal therapy? Yes. Very rarely milk teeth in children may require root canal therapy. Though the procedure varies slightly in milk teeth. What happens after treatment? After the inside tooth structure has treated, the outside structure will be restored to protect your tooth. It gives your tooth a healthy appearance. After a root canal procedure, your tooth should function and feel like your other teeth. Expert Opinion Dr. Manan Dhulia says it’s important to take care of your treated tooth the same way your natural teeth. Brush and floss regularly. He further suggests visiting your dentist regularly for preventive check-ups and consultation. Your dentist is trained to see hidden problems that a normal person cannot.

What are home-based tooth bleaching options? • A tray-based tooth bleaching technique is used where the peroxide-based bleaching gels are used to fill the mouth guard tray. • Tooth whitening strips and gels are directly applied on the teeth with the help of thin strips or brushes. • Using tooth whitening toothpaste that has some of the remarkable amounts of bleaching agents can remove the stains to give a whiter shine on the teeth.

Post-whitening experience It is fact that there is extra sensitivity than natural sensitivity in teeth after the tooth bleaching procedure. However, looking at the important treatment it is worth tolerating some sensitivity for a few days. Generally, the sensitivity in teeth remains around 4 to 6 days after tooth bleaching. 4. Whitening of crowns is not possible The crowns put on the tooth or in place of the missing tooth cannot be whitened. These crowns are generally resistant to the colors used in the tooth bleaching process. 5. Restrict eating for few hours after the process. After completion of the tooth bleaching, a person must avoid eating any food for at least 4 hours. It will help to give the desired effect for the teeth whitening treatment. Treatment at night before going to sleep is ideal for getting better results. These are some tooth bleaching facts that people must know.

It might seem scary that an orthodontist would attach braces to your teeth, but it is not a frightening idea. It is simple and quick. It will be done in no time. We will explain how to attach different types of braces on your teeth. Continue reading to find out more about the process so that you are ready for your appointment. A clean surface Always bring clean teeth to your appointment with an orthodontist. This will make the experience more enjoyable for all involved and show off your excellent dental hygiene. Keep this in mind when you visit the assistant orthodontist to clean your teeth. You may be given a paste or polisher. They will then dry your teeth. It might feel uncomfortable as your mouth will be dry during braces installation. Brackets are in the Time Zone Once your teeth have been cleaned and dried, your assistant or orthodontist can attach your brackets. The assistant will place a small amount adhesive (often called glue or cement) in each tooth's center and then attach the bracket to it until it sticks. To set the glue and harden it, the orthodontist will need to shine a special light on the tooth. The brackets should not be made of metal. However, you will not be able see the glue. Brackets will be needed around the entire mouth for standard braces. This is a long process, so you should expect some discomfort as your mouth is open. Anchoring the Braces Although it might appear that the braces are securely anchored to the teeth, the orthodontist will want to anchor them. They will choose a suitable size metal band for you and then slide it over your molars. After they have determined the size and location, they will use the same glue as they did on the brackets to attach the metal band to your teeth. The band will be placed onto the tooth by the orthodontist. The orthodontist may need to make some adjustments before they find the perfect spot. Before the orthodontist places your band, let them know if you feel uncomfortable. They can make it more comfortable over time. Add the Wires Here are the wires. The wire wraps around your teeth, top and bottom. It's then cut at the ends so that it doesn't touch your gums. An orthodontist will attach each bracket to the wire using a rubber band. The bands can be made in any color you like, but many prefer clear ones. This makes the braces less noticeable. You're done. You'll be released until your next appointment. What about Clear Aligners? It is possible you are wondering what happens if you choose to have clear aligners like Invisalign instead of traditional metal braces or ceramic braces. Although this process is simpler, it can sometimes require additional steps depending on how severe your case is. If you are choosing metal braces, your orthodontist might allow you to begin your treatment the same day as your consultation. This is because they do all the adjustments and the treatment is simpler. Clear aligners require a scan of your teeth or an impression. The scan or impression is sent to the aligner company by your orthodontist so that they can create a mockup of your future smile. This can take several weeks. What about attaching? Attachments and buttons are necessary for your next appointment. The buttons hold rubberbands, while the attachments allow your teeth to move. These buttons and attachments are similar to standard braces bracket placement. As with standard braces the assistant or orthodontist will clean and dry your teeth. They will apply the glue, set it, then place your buttons. They'll attach your aligners to the "attachment" slots using a thin version. Your aligners will be placed and your mouth will be lit with blue light. The attachments will remain on your teeth after they have removed the aligners. They will use your aligner if they have to replace an attachment. How are braces put on? It's easy You don't have to be anxious if you are wondering how braces are put on. Because they have assisted many patients with braces, the assistants and orthodontists know how to make it painless and quick. Clear aligners take less than one hour, while appointments last between one and two hours. You'll be happy that your appointment was successful and will leave with a straighter smile.
