Nano-Surfacing Implants

Nano-technology has indeed entered mainstream mainly through the development of better materials that are now evident in dental appliances. New research suggests that having nano-texturing on dental implants does indeed increase healing giving bone tissue a place to grasp onto quicker.

Traditional implants used to be smooth and quite slippery preventing bone growth onto the said material. Nano-texturing or carving grooves into the implant on a nano scale allows better adhesion and faster healing thus less wait for treatment to finish. This allows not only faster healing but better comfort for the dental patient for the treatment period is greatly reduced.

Vigilance with children’s dental health


As parents, you should be very vigilant when your children are starting to shed their milk teeth and their permanent teeth are growing. The reason for this is to look for early signs of problems that may worsen when they get older.
For example, malocclusion is a very real problem that can worsen if left unchecked. Early intervention with this problem will prevent any kind of deformity that will be harder to correct when the patient gets older. For this problem, as with any other orthodontic issues, early detection is the best way of avoiding any headaches in the future.

Asthmatics Get more Cavities

Than normal kids for studies are showing they are more prone to dental caries or cavities and other dental issues. It may have genetic links but more study is needed to determine the direct link. Understanding the mechanisms that bring about the surprising relationship of asthma and dental health would give better treatment and possibly prevent dental caries.
The link between the disease and the occurrence of dental caries is still wuite vague, maybe due to medical reasons such as medicine that impacts the bone growth activity of the body or some other physical relationship. Oral health should be emphasized more onto kids who do suffer from asthma coupled with more frequent visits to the dentist for good measure.
