Arthrocentesis for the treatment of internal derangements of the temporomandibular joint.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Internal derangements of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are characterized by displacement of the intra-articular disc, which acts as an obstacle to normal joint movement and results in clicking and popping sounds or locking and an inability to open the mouth widely. These conditions may be painless or they may be associated with pain, especially during function. The most common causes are trauma, which results in an immediate displacement of the disc, or chronic parafunction, which results in degenerative changes in the articular surfaces, increased friction, and gradual disc displacement.

Temporomandibular joint reconstruction.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction presents unique problems because of the integral and complex roles this joint plays in establishing and maintaining proper form and function of the stomatognathic system. The TMJ not only acts as a secondary growth center for the mandible in prepubescence, but it is also essential for the functions of mastication, speech, airway support, and deglutition in both the child and the adult.

Endoscopic surgery of the salivary glands.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Obstructive sialadenitis, with or without sialolithiasis, represents the most common inflammatory disorder of the major salivary glands, and sialolithiasis is one of the major causes of sialadenitis. Calculi in the salivary glands can be found in 1.2% of the general population. Other common causes of salivary gland obstruction are ductal strictures and kinks. The diagnosis of these problems has been traditionally hampered by the limitations of standard imaging techniques. Satisfactory management depends on the surgeon's ability to reach a precise anatomic diagnosis and to accurately locate the obstruction. PMID: 19...

Coronectomy to prevent damage to the inferior alveolar nerve.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conventional wisdom advises that when a tooth needs to be extracted, the whole tooth should be removed, usually with as little surrounding bone as possible. However, the evidence to support this is not compelling, and every dentist has experienced cases where the apices of teeth are not removed for a variety of reasons and, in most cases, the patient seems to suffer no ill effects. If one extrapolates from this, it is evident that there might be instances where it is actually preferable to leave the apical part of the root rather than remove it, and this can be carried out deliberately. The usual time that one would co...

Surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea: changing the upper airway.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by sleep deprivation and daytime fatigue and somnolence. It is conservatively estimated to occur in up to 3% of the adult population. However, the incidence is probably higher in industrialized countries, where sleep patterns are disrupted by abnormal work shifts. The incidence is also slightly higher in middle-aged males and may be as high as 67% in elderly males. PMID: 19591332 [PubMed - in process] (Source: The Alpha Omegan)

Management of third molar-related nerve injuries: observe or treat?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Injury to branches of the trigeminal nerve is one of the possible complications associated with the removal of third molars. Fifty-two percent of patients referred to a university-based practice with trigeminal neurosensory complaints associated their nerve injury with third molar odontectomy. The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) was the most commonly injured nerve (61.1%), followed by the lingual nerve (LN; 38.8%). There was a 1.5-times greater incidence in females, the mean age of the patients was 34.5 years, and the mean time to consultation from the third molar extraction date was 6.9 months. These data also showed th...

The use of lasers in dentistry has expanded and improved some treatment options for those clinicians who have adopted the technology. As with all dental materials and instruments, the practitioner must use clinical experience, receive proper training, become very familiar with the operating manual, and proceed within the scope of his or her practice. The potential purchaser should carefully analyze the style and type of the practice to decide how useful the device could be. Moreover, attending introductory courses, seminars, and presentations, such as those at the aforementioned Academy of Laser Dentistry's Annual Conf...

Basic physics of laser interaction with vital tissue.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It is essential for any practitioner who uses lasers in their clinical practice to understand the basic physics of lasers. It is this knowledge that allows for an educated assessment of the clinical outcomes that lasers produce in our patients. It is also this understanding that provides a scientific basis for the visual feedback the clinician uses to vary parameters as needed to get the desired clinical results. It is the intent of this paper to discuss the very basic reasons why lasers affect tissues the way they do, and to synthesize the plethora of information dental practitioners are seeing regularly in dental jou...

Restorative dentistry for children using a hard tissue laser.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article will describe how a hard tissue laser is used in various restorative procedures. The erbium family of lasers (Er,Cr:YSGG and Er:YAG) are highly absorbed in water and, to a lesser extent, in tooth mineral. Because a carious lesion contains significantly more water than healthy enamel or dentin, the laser can offer some selectivity in removing the diseased material. Furthermore, these lasers can offer some degree of anesthesia. In these clinical photos, an Er,Cr:YSGG laser (Waterlase or Waterlase MD, 2780-nm; Biolase Technologies, Irvine, CA) was used.

Historically, oral soft tissue surgery on infants and young children was completed in the operating room under a general anesthetic agent. Many children were referred to an oral surgeon and required a physician's physical examination and medical clearance for a hospital admission. potentially placed a child at risk during the use of a general anesthetic for an elective procedure, which may not have insurance benefits. Traditional methods of oral surgery using scalpels or electrosurgery may produce significant postoperative discomfort and require sutures and prolonged healing.

The practical use of lasers in general practice.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The use of lasers in general dentistry is now an accepted--and to some extent, expected--treatment modality. Laser use can be either an adjunct to other procedures or the main form of treatment itself. For many procedures, lasers are now becoming the treatment of choice by both clinicians and patients, and in some cases, the standard of care. Though there are as many uses for lasers in general practice as the imagination can provide, this manuscript will address those indications for use that have received marketing clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
