The latest technology in dentistry: a review of methods, features and reviews

Medicine does not stand still, and dentistry is especially active. What is logical, information technology is also involved, as powerful and accurate means. In recent years, even the concept of "computer dentistry" has appeared. Probably, all the newest technologies in dentistry, which will appear in the future, will be connected with computer technology.

Machines to help people

Digital technologies, first of all, are relevant in orthopedic treatment, at all its stages. Systems have already been developed and are being implemented that completely fill out the necessary documents. Automated work includes the simulation of the oral cavity of a particular client with recommendations, which particular treatment ways in this situation should be optimal.

The newest technologies in dentistry allow graphic data to be analyzed and processed extremely quickly, and the patient's examination can be carried out in detail, without omissions. The results obtained during the research can be demonstrated both to the patient and to colleagues.

I must say, the first such devices cost a lot of money, but the rapidly growing competition changed the situation. There are cameras for photo and video shooting in the oral cavity, which can be connected to a PC. Using this technique is easy. In advanced clinics, virtually no traditional radiography is used, radiovisiographs are used instead of irradiating the patient.

Three-dimensional medicine: the future is already in our hands

Efficiency was shown by computer programs that record and analyze the patient's facial expressions. These are also new technologies in dentistry. Prosthetics become much easier, it takes less time, if the doctor has a full animated model of the oral cavity on the screen of his computer, where he can turn it and learn from any angle. Similar programs are called 3D articulators.

To choose the best treatment option in a particular case, you can use computer treatment planning. Incidentally, special programs have been developed to control anesthesia - the computer can now cope even with the task of anesthesia.

Neuromuscular dentistry: new technologies

Only the most modern institute of dentistry of new technologies can afford a neuromuscular approach. Its advantage is that it also takes into account the neurophysiology of the patient's oral cavity. Methods have been developed to study how active the chewing musculature is, what is the ideal occlusion.

The best effect is provided by the fact that the doctor can simulate the trajectory along which the lower jaw moves, and work on the prosthesis taking this information into account. If it is a patient with dysfunction of the TMJ, then neuromuscular dentistry is the most reasonable option.

The pioneer in this field is the American firm Miotronix. Specialists of the company developed the K7 system, which spread worldwide. It is used in the most progressive Russian clinics.

Orthopedics against dental problems

We found ourselves using the latest technology in dentistry and in the work of orthopedic doctors. Modern materials and a fundamentally new approach to prosthetics have helped to reduce the time for eliminating defects in the oral cavity while maintaining a high level of reliability.

First of all, new technologies in orthopedic dentistry are, of course, materials. Damaged teeth build up with the help of composites - this is the most effective way. The material is created artificially, it includes:

• glass;
• quartz;
• Flour of porcelain;
• Silicon oxide.

The advantage of the composite is an extensive color map. The patient can choose the material closest to the native shade of the teeth. So, the updated tooth will look one-on-one as "native".

Often used in orthopedic dentistry ceramics. It allows you to make really beautiful and durable prostheses, so it is used primarily for the front teeth. Artificial teeth will look like real, even covering them - like enamel. Ceramics are absolutely safe for health. Strengthening is provided by a skeleton from metal.

New dentistry: all stages of prosthetics are covered

Modern orthopedic dentistry is also a new solution in the following areas:

• Joining materials;
• Lining of dentures;
• Methods of manufacturing materials.

A method for the strong bonding of a composite and a metal was developed. It is based on new methods of processing metals: mechanical, physicochemical, combined. In recent years, there has been a great demand for adhesive technologies. When you contact them, you can guarantee super-strong adhesion.

Applying the latest technology in dentistry and when working on veneers and prostheses, overlays. Composite is really distributed from materials, as the most qualitative one. Visit a dentist to install such a prosthesis is no longer scary, and no patient will experience any pain.

Novelties in the arsenal of dentists

The most relevant are new technologies in therapeutic dentistry in the treatment of root canals. This is the direction of dentistry, which is called endodontics. The main diseases studied by this industry:

• Pulpitis;
• Periodontitis.

If the root canals were well treated, the tooth will serve for a long time, despite the removal of the nerve. But complications can arise when pathological processes spread to the jawbone. Then they talk about cysts and granulomas. Effective modern technology will help to avoid such a disaster.

One of the most effective technologies is depophoresis. It is used if a tooth is to be treated, which has already been treated with an obsolete method. This technology is irreplaceable if the patient is diagnosed with a granuloma or cyst.

And, of course, we can not say about new materials used by dentists-therapists. Recently, glass ionomer cements have become widespread, which have proved to be the most promising ones. These materials are characterized by a minimum level of toxicity, but they are durable and beautiful. In addition, similar cements due to increased concentration of fluorides effectively fight caries.

Dental crowns: new technologies for guarding oral health

Modern tooth crowns are made of a special material, created on the basis of metal and ceramics. It was possible to automate the process of designing crowns and their manufacture.

CAD / CAM - this name has received these advanced technologies in dentistry. Crowns made in this way fit the patient perfectly, and it is provided by computer modeling of the oral cavity, due to which at any time the doctor can examine the most inaccessible areas from all sides.

CAD / CAM is used to create prostheses and linings, crowns of the most complex kinds and forms. The technology is quite expensive, but it significantly reduces the length of stay at the doctor and allows you to get perfect crowns, which can not be said about older methods.

On your health you can not save

It's no secret that the dentistry of new technologies in Moscow will not be cheap. Much less money can be spent if you turn to the old, "grandfather" methods, or even go to a special small town on the periphery of the Moscow region, hoping to find a low price tag.

Doing so strictly is not recommended. Bad dentures can spoil the whole future life and lead to a lot of problems. Therefore, really sensible behavior is an appeal to specialists practicing the most modern methods.

It is necessary to make sure that modern and effective materials are used in the work.

If there is an opportunity to visit a clinic that offers computer modeling, you should afford it without looking back at the price tag.

Patients' experience: apply with advantage

When choosing a dental clinic, it is necessary to study the reviews: learn from friends and acquaintances, where they treated their teeth, what are the general impressions. Collecting information, it is necessary to analyze not only how much feedback is positive, but also how much they can be trusted.

The newest technologies in dentistry are the guarantee of an impeccable smile, as evidenced by the reviews of satisfied patients.
