Dental equipment

an essential part of general health and well-being. Although largely preventable, many people in the world are still suffering from pain due to oral disease (Jawdekar 2013). That disease is one of the most costly diseases, for instance the cost for dental caries treatment can exhaust a country’s health care budget for children. However if this condition is ignored, the cost will be higher in the future regarding the financial, social and personal impacts (Kwan et al 2005). Early childhood…

prevention is a concern. Oral health is influenced by dental plaque, the oral microbial flora, and oral immunity (Munro et al, 2004). Dental plaque is a biofilm found on tooth surfaces that provides a microhabitat for microorganisms (Munro et al, 2004). Microbial flora is a complex environmental niche of interdependent microorganisms embedded in bacterial and salivary product, which are concentrated in dental plaque (Munro et al, 2004). Thus, dental plaque may serve as a reservoir for…

to want to change the behavior, and they also have to understand why it is necessary to change the behavior. A patient who is unmotivated to change is less likely to be compliant. It is important to provide the patient with all the education and equipment necessary for them to be successful. It is also essential to hold them accountable for their own care, and let them know the risks and benefits of doing or not doing something. Overall, the hygienist can only do so much to motivate the patient,…

At the crime scene, investigators should be alert around because he or she is exposed in many unique situations during an investigation, yet they should know toxic hazard, component blood, and what should we do if we are exposed to toxic hazards, etc. First off, a hazard is safty have the lack or there a situation that have risk to an exposure. Secure is the overall most important duty to consider in any occupation or task. When investigator or technician responding to a crime scene which they…

questions below. Cut/paste the questions into your discussion post, and then provide your response: 1. List 5 procedures that dental hygienists are allowed to perform? What types of procedures are prohibited? (note: use the “Statutes” section for this). Dental hygienists, that are legally licensed are allowed to perform procedures on their own such as: exposing and processing dental radiographs, prophylaxis, scaling, root planning and closed subgingival curettage. They can perform certain…

with dental hygiene programs, only twenty two students are accepted and I was very well aware that it was a very competitive program to be accepted into. I started to enjoy college a lot I loved to study hard to receive incredible outcomes, it made me want to only work harder and challenge myself more.

If left untreated, possible ramifications could include, tooth loss (which may result in an undesirable appearance), pain, and infection. Therefore from an early age, it is essential to establish and implement good oral health practices. Examples of these practices (although not limited to) are, regular dental examinations by a dentist or dental…

Dental implants have more and more become a routine permanent treatment to replace missing teeth. They are used to support one or more false teeth, with a long-term solution that is as close to the natural teeth as possible. Dental implant is the best tooth replacement option that give a good long lasting outcome (Misch 2014). Implants help reserve the surrounding bone that resorbs – as a natural effect - when a tooth is lost. A dental implant, made of titanium, usually looks like a screw-shaped…

Critical Surface Tension and roughness are parameters that may play a role in the implant-tissue interaction. Guehnnec et al. (2007) reviewed the different methods used for applying osteoconductive coatings and increasing surface roughness to titanium dental implants (such as titanium plasma-spraying, grit-blasting, acid-etching, anodization or calcium phosphate coatings) and their surface characterization and topographies were described. They showed that the development of these surface…

Life cycle inventory(LCI), Life cycle impact assessment and finally Interpretation. Goal and scope, is the start of an explicit statement and this will set up the scope of the product. Life cycle inventory is an analysis with the goal of listing the products to and from the nature. The outcome of this is typically a flow chart. Life cycle impact assessment, is pretty straight forward given the name. This is aimed to evaluating the potential environmental impact each step from the LCI flow chart.…
