General dentistry an evaluation and adjustment method articleCentric Learning
This document describes a method for using diamond dental strips to standardize the adjustment of proximal contacts of crowns. The method involves abrading the proximal surfaces of adjacent teeth on working models with diamond strips to create space for crowns. Crowns are fabricated to fit this space and their proximal contacts are further adjusted with diamond strips. When cementing the crown, a diamond strip is used to evaluate and adjust any tight proximal contacts to achieve equal resistance, replicating natural dentition. This provides consistent, accurate adjustments and ensures patient comfort upon crown seating.

The document discusses a risk-based approach to periodontal treatment planning and management. It advocates assessing patient, tooth, and site-specific risk factors to determine the appropriate level of treatment. These include factors like smoking, diabetes, probing depths, bleeding, inflammation, root anatomy, tooth function and importance. The approach aims to more aggressively treat high risk patients and sites in order to better resolve inflammation and prevent further tissue destruction and systemic impacts. Multiple debridement methods and more frequent maintenance are suggested for higher risk cases to maximize the chances of controlling inflammation.

This document discusses dental curing and C.U.R.E. technology. It addresses common problems with undercuring restorations and the consequences. C.U.R.E. technology aims to provide uniform curing and reduce energy use to fully cure restorations without excess heat. Key benefits discussed include improved collimation, more uniform light distribution, less heat at the curing tip and pulp, and increased depth of cure. The document argues that a focused blue light spectrum is most efficient for curing the vast majority of composite materials that use camphorquinone as the primary photoinitiator.

The document discusses using Propel to increase the rate of clear aligner progression by stimulating bone remodeling. Propel involves creating micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) using a FDA-registered device. This was used on a patient with mild malocclusion requiring 43 aligners over 2 weeks each. After 6 weeks, Propel was used and aligner progression increased to 3 days each. Aligners continued to track well and treatment was reduced to 23 weeks, avoiding refinement aligners. Propel successfully increased bone remodeling and reduced overall treatment time by over 70% compared to standard aligner progression.
