Dr. Raúl Peral Santamaría DDS

The use of computer-controlled anaesthesia in dentistry helps us delivering effective injections as well as giving to our patient a painless treatment from the start. Safety, control of the drug dose and pressure, automatic aspiration and predictable techniques are just the beginning to a higher comfort to our patients, effective and atraumatic anaesthesia.

Dr. Manouchehr Kiaei DDS

A fresh look at extractions is important to every dental professional. Bringing bone preservation into focus, implantology has changed the way we perform exodontia. There are many systems in place to make minimally invasive extractions possible. Luxation is a well-established, predictable and easy to learn technique that should become part of your daily practice.

Dr. Ali Saleh DDS, MMSc Specialist Endodontist

Apical periodontitis is an inflammatory response to microbial aetiologies originating from the root canal system in infected teeth. The aim of root canal treatments is to prevent and eradicate infections in the root canal system. If done properly this will most often lead to periapical healing.

Dr. Dani Irani DDS

Despite being in the era of digital dentistry with the accuracy it provides, many of us dentists are still highly attached to traditional tools in our daily practice. For occlusal analysis, the most common tool used is articulating paper. The correct physiological recovery of occlusion is always a challenge for every dentist and technician. Proper tools and proper knowledge enable us to overcome one of the most critical phases in dental restoration, increasing the success rate and longevity of the restoration and preventing any future damage.

Dr. Ishkhan Yeghiayan DDS, FICD

Dental radiography is a pillar of dental practice. During general dentistry, endodontic treatment or implant dentistry accurate dental radiographic techniques will lead to better diagnosis, better treatment and better outcome with more precision, less radiation exposure and less cross-infection risk.

Dr. Mikael Zimmerman

Increasing infection risks and unforeseen organizational challenges in our dental practices prompt us to go through the clinic’s current routines and look for ways to rationalize them. Instrument logistics can and should be re-organized with the aim of increasing patients and personnel safety, improving treatment quality and saving precious time for the whole dental team.

Dr. Mikael Zimmerman , Dr. Petteri Sjögren DDS, PhD

We are constantly surrounded by a plenitude of potentially infectious microorganisms. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic cast a renewed light on the importance of infection control routines, both in daily life and in the medical field. Infection control and prevention commonly observed in the dental practice are safe and effective, but hygiene routines need to be known, understood and strictly observed by the whole dental office team.

Dr. Aneta Olszewska DDS, PhD

Local anaesthesia can often be unbearable for young patients and stressful for a dentist. A computer-controlled local anaesthesia system allows the delivery speed and pressure to be adjusted to the clinical situation, developmental, anatomical, and physiological tissue differences observed in children. Effective anaesthesia is achieved with a lower amount of analgesic reducing the risk of toxic or allergic reactions and minimizing discomfort and sensation of numbness after the treatment. It helps prevent unwanted self- injuries to the lips, cheeks, and tongue.

Dr. Aneta Olszewska DDS, PhD

Local anaesthesia can and should be atraumatic. A computer-controlled local anaesthesia system allows the delivery speed and pressure to be adjusted to the tissue absorption capacity. Effective anaesthesia is achieved with a lower amount of the analgesic and without the accompanying discomfort or a sensation of numbness after the procedure.

Dr. Simona Giani DDS

From x-ray to extra-oral and intra-oral photography, Dr. Giani goes through every step of dental photography illustrating the tools, the camera settings, the position of the photographer and the team, sharing the secrets behind her outstanding case reports.

Dr. Deepak Mehta DDS
