Vancouver,uver, BC Silver is Still Useful

As a member of the teaching staff at the University of 3DFLÀF3DFLÀF 'HQW 'HQWDODO Toronto’s Faculty of Dentistry in the Department of Oral Diagnosis, I would like to assure Dr. John Ainslie (“Silver &RQI&RQIHUHQFHHHUHQFH or White?” Letters to the Editor, Ontario Dentist, December 2011) that the placement of silver amalgam fillings is still taught in our dental schools. Students are taught that dental silver amalgam is an extremely useful and long- lasting restorative material and that there is no scientific evidence whatsoever that silver amalgam fillings might be harmful to human health. Any dentist who removes, or advises the removal of, silver amalgam fillings because of a supposed danger of mercury to the patient’s health is promoting scientifically unsubstantiated treatment bordering on quackery. Doing so impugns the public’s trust in dentists and diminishes our stature as an evidence-based profession.

Fearless Predictions

Case Report John Connelly Erin Sisson Christine Tanyan BA (Hon) DDS BSc (Hon) DMD BSc DMD

After 70 Years – Compensation from World War II

Introduction In February 1941, Mr. H. was a seven-year-old boy living with his Dutch family on the island of Sumatra (now Indonesia), when the hostilities of the Second World War engulfed his family and shattered his peaceful childhood. The invading Japanese military forces occupied the island and imprisoned young Mr. H. in the Tjikudapateuh concentration camp, separating him from his parents and family. The young boy would become known as the Cricket (Jangkrik in Malay) because he was skinny, fearless, fast and resourceful. These qualities would help Mr. H to survive four-and-a-half years of imprisonment until his release in August 1945.

CASE REPORT

History During his internment Mr. H. suffered from severe malnutrition during the crucial years of his dental development and as a consequence he would never enjoy the benefits of good dental health. Throughout his adult life, Mr. H. pressed for compensation to restore his dentition. Finally in 2010, a settlement was negotiated between the Netherlands and Japan that enabled Mr. H. to reconstruct his dentition with implant-supported over- dentures.

Case Report

Figure 2 Radiographic guides used for the CT scan.

Initial Presentation and Treatment The existing condition consisted of partial upper (PUD) and partial lower (PLD) dentures. There were five maxillary and four mandibular teeth remaining, all of which had a poor short-term prognosis (Figure 1). Treatment began with maxillary and mandibular clear- ance, followed by relining the existing PUDand PLDfor use as transitional dentures. Maxillary and mandibular radiographic guides were made in preparation for the CT scan (Figure 2). Nobel Guide computer software was used to virtually place and parallel the implants on the CT scan image and surgical guides were constructed (Figures 3, 4 & 5).

Case Report

Figure 6 Eight implants and healing abutments in position.

Utilizing guided surgery four maxillary and four mandibular implants were inserted and healing abutments placed (Figure 6). Due to the thin buccal bone in the region of teeth 13 and 23, an allograft of Puros demineralized freeze-dried bone with a Cytoplast membrane was placed. Four months later, locator attachments were placed and attached to the new CUDand CLDwith a pick-up reline impression (Figures 7 & 8). Immediately following the completion of the treatment, Mr. H. returned home and later reported how much he enjoyed a meal of corn on the cob! (Figures 9, 10 & 11)

Conclusion Much of what Mr. H. witnessed and endured during his internment in the concentration camp would stay with him throughout his life. In adulthood, Mr. H. reached a level of strength, maturity, insight and awareness to live with the past. In 1987, he had the courage to confront that past and paid a return visit to the concentration camp. Mr. H. became a successful engineer, is now semi-retired and lives with his wife in Ottawa.

Nader Sharifi, DDS, MS RCDSO QA Program – Category 2

Partial denture framework design will be comprehensively covered introducing a simplified approach to designing RPDframeworks.

Overall patient satisfaction is built when the prostheses have limited move- ment. Everything discussed in this program will have a positive impact on achieving this goal. Participant will learn that denture stability through occlusal design is of paramount importance – and how to achieve it.

Learning Objectives Include: | • Understand various impression techniques for removable prosthodontics • Debate conflicting removable partial prosthodontic clasp design • Learn the indication for, and preparation of, rest seats for RPDs • Complete an interactive partial denture framework design • Learn to identify the difficult denture patient before it is too late • Identify different options for occlusal patterns with removable prosthodontics

Best of all, participants examine the range of new materials that make removable prosthodontics more pleasant, profitable, and satisfying – to help reinforce the idea that providing patients with removable prostheses can be the most enjoyable and valuable aspect of practicing dentistry.

In other words, a couple that starts saving at age 35 needs to save 30 percent of their after-tax income, including both RRSP and non- registered savings, every year for 30 years to achieve retirement sustainability. Fortunately, the non-interest portion of mortgage payments counts toward this goal. • The savings burden gets much more onerous if couples delay: starting at age 45 means 44 percent of after-tax income must go toward savings. After age 45, couples have no alternative but to work for longer and/or settle for less in retirement. • While saving 30 percent or more of after-tax income each year may seem dauntingly high, it is important to note that if a couple saves 30 percent of after-tax income, then they are living on the other 70 percent, which means their lifestyle would be exactly consistent between their working years and retirement. • Further, 30 percent is not that onerous when one con- siders the way the Canadian RRSP system is designed. If the maximum contribution room in 2010 was the lesser of 18 percent of pre-tax income or $22,000 per person, then contribution room maxes out at an income of $122,222. At this income, the average tax rate is 30.5 percent, so the after-tax equivalent contribution is (18 per-
