  • Dental Implants Placement of Dental Implants Is a Procedure, Not an American Dental Association (ADA) Recognized Dental Specialty
    Dental Implants Placement of dental implants is a procedure, not an American Dental Association (ADA) recognized Dental Specialty. Dental implants like all dental procedures require dental education and training. Implant therapy is a prosthodontic procedure with radiographic and surgical components. Using a dental implant to replace missing teeth is dictated by individual patient needs as determined by their dentist. An implant is a device approved and regulated by the FDA, which can provide support for a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or all teeth in the mouth. The prosthodontic and the surgical part of implant care can each range from straightforward to complex. A General Dentist who is trained to place and restore implants may be the appropriate practitioner to provide care for dental implant procedures. This will vary depending on an individual clinician’s amount of training and experience. However, the General Dentist should know when care should be referred to a specialist (a Prosthodontist, a Periodontist or an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon). Practitioners should not try to provide care beyond their level of competence. Orthodontists may place and use implants to enable enhanced tooth movement. Some Endodontists may place an implant when a tooth can’t be successfully treated using endodontic therapy. Maxillofacial Prosthodontists may place special implants or refer for placement when facial tissues are missing and implants are needed to retain a prosthesis. General Dentists are experienced in restorative procedures, and many have been trained and know requirements for the dental implant restorations they provide. However, if a patient’s implant surgical procedure is beyond the usual practice of a dentist, this part of the care should be referred to another dentist that is competent in placement of implants.

    Paradigms Shifts in Periodontal Therapy: Implementing Evolving Protocols -Kristy Menage Bernie, RDH, MS, RYT – info@EducationalDesigns.com ‐ Scientific paradigms have long been the cornerstone of clinical practice and daily care, yet many of these paradigms are not the “reality.” Emerging sciences have led to key understanding of new methods to prevent and manage periodontal disease, which has necessitated integration and implementation for the progressive clinician. This interactive session will include a review of accelerated periodontal instrumentation protocols and the new gingivitis code, and incorporate recommendations from the AAP Comprehensive Periodontal Therapy document, which will inspire attendees to unconscious competency! Our Opportunities: Gain an understanding of how change occurs and the influence of paradigms versus the realities of our professional protocols and outcomes. Review innovative and evolving technologies and products designed to prevent and treat periodontal diseases. Implement accelerated periodontal instrumentation protocols based on appropriate periodontal coding, as specified in the AAP treatment guidelines.

  • Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics (2020)
    SUPPLEMENT ARTICLE Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics doi: 10.1111/jopr.13176 PREAMBLE—Third Edition THE PARAMETERS OF CARE continue to stand the test of time and reflect the clinical practice of prosthodontics at the specialty level. The specialty is defined by these parameters, the definition approved by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Education and Licensure (2001), the American Board of Prosthodontics Certifying Examination process and its popula- tion of diplomates, and the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) Standards for Advanced Education Programs in Prosthodontics. The consistency in these four defining documents represents an active philosophy of patient care, learning, and certification that represents prosthodontics. Changes that have occurred in prosthodontic practice since 2005 required an update to the Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics. Advances in digital technologies have led to new methods in all aspects of care. Advances in the application of dental materials to replace missing teeth and supporting tissues require broadening the scope of care regarding the materials selected for patient treatment needs. Merging traditional prosthodontics with innovation means that new materials, new technology, and new approaches must be integrated within the scope of prosthodontic care, including surgical aspects, especially regarding dental implants. This growth occurred while emphasis continued on interdisciplinary referral, collaboration, and care. The Third Edition of the Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics is another defining moment for prosthodontics and its contributions to clinical practice. An additional seven prosthodontic parameters have been added to reflect the changes in clinical practice and fully support the changes in accreditation standards.

  • Clinical and Biochemical Valuation of Enzymatic and Nonenzymatic Stress Markers Following Full-Mouth Disinfection in Aggressive
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH Clinical and Biochemical Valuation of Enzymatic and Nonenzymatic Stress Markers Following Full-mouth Disinfection in Aggressive Periodontitis Rajeev Arunachalam1 , Vini Rajeev2 , Ramesh Kumaresan3 , Sarath B Kurra4 ABSTRACT Introduction: Assessment of host response to inflammation will throw light on the critical role of antioxidants (AOs) and free radicle damage in the etiology of periodontal disease. The purpose of the study was to assess the level of plasma oxidative stress in those having aggressive periodontal disease before and after full-mouth disinfection. Objectives were to find the influence of full-mouth disinfection analyzing the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARSs), thereby quantifying the lipid peroxidation (LPO) and also the activities of reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPX ), and catalase (CAT), valuing the AO defense systems in health and disease. Materials and methods: The valuation composed of 30 subjects with aggressive periodontal disease and 30 healthy controls. Clinical assessment included following periodontal parameters: plaque index (PI), papillary bleeding index (PBI), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL). Levels of bone loss were assessed by taking full-mouth periapical radiographs. Initial periodontal therapy comprises of full-mouth disinfection which includes subgingival scaling and root planing within 24 hours combined with adjunctive chlorhexidine chemotherapy for aggressive periodontitis subject’s at sites indicated. The parameters (clinical) were evaluated at the baseline and 8 weeks after initial periodontal therapy at six sites of teeth indicated. Plasma samples were taken and evaluated by standard procedures as defined in the literature. All the values were weighed and related. Results: Strong positive associations were detected among periodontal parameters and TBARS, enzymatic/nonenzymatic AO levels (p < 0.05), and pre- and postperiodontal management.
