teeth whitening

teeth whitening or dental bleaching is a popular dental procedure done routinely. its a process where teeth are whitened to a sparkling white shade in a matter of minutes.
whitening procedure followed in our clinic is BT COOL whitening where the teeth are cleaned and polished and then whitening is done by a special machine.the process of whitening takes 20 to 30 minutes and the cost starts at as low as Rs 2000/- only.
the in office whitening is harmless and leaves no or minimum sensitivity with zero side effects.
the whiteness thus obtained stays for at least 3 to 4 years, depending on maintainance and patient compliance. i think its very little of a compromise to make for that sparkling white smile which give you a new personality and power to win over others.

bone regeneration while RCT

last month i had a case where the patient 35/female had pain in 46. on radiograph i saw some inter-radicular bone loss with peri apical radiolucency . i started off the root canal treatment by access opening and found 3 canals. at the same time i used a periosteal elevator and reflected the buccal gingiva. i saw severe bone loss. also there was granulation tissue.
i used a curette to remove the granulation tissue and flushed the area with saline and placed the sutures. gave a formocresol dressin in the tooth and recalled the patient in a weeeks time.

in the subsequent visits i completed the RCT with no pain remaining. at the end of 3 weeks i did a radiograph and was genuinely surprised to see that the interradicular bone has reformed. i am now waiting to see post op radiographs after 6 months

brush test

the brush test has revolutionised my dental practice. in just 1 months time, the brush test is doing wonders. its a painless test to detect oral cancer at a very early stage.
it has been helpful in preventing oral cancer in my practice. i suggest this test to all dentists and also recommend that every perso should undrgo a brush test every 6 months. this way all the possibilities of oral cancer developing can be eliminated.
