 INCE I LEARNED of Pharmanex’s biophotonic scanner as a non-invasive way to measure our antioxidant status, I have begun to think of systemic causes of disease as an area that we should concentrate on more. We as dentists essentially deal with local problems, rarely thinking of these problems as local manifestations of systemic deficiencies. Yet, if we think about it we realize that there are many systemic disease states that overcome our natural immunities, autoimmune diseases that turn our own defenses against ourselves, reduce our salivary flow, reducing the natural cleansing action to our teeth and gingiva.

Tooth Avulsion

 IME IS OF THE ESSENCE when it comes to an avulsed tooth. The quicker the patient comes in to get it placed back into the socket, the better the prognosis will be. The optimal time is less than 15–20 minutes for good predictable periodontal healing. The prognosis will significantly worsen when the tooth is left out in a dry environment for more than 60 minutes.

A Retrospective: Comparing Rotary NiTi and Relieved Reamers

 T HAS BEEN more than twenty years since rotary NiTi was introduced as an advanced endodontic instrument to minimize if not eliminate the use of K-files, whose limitations include their being excessively stiff, rebounding too easily to the straight position, engaging excessively along their length, and providing a poor sense of tactile perception, which in the course of canal-shaping would too often lead to transported and blocked canals, or inadequate canal shaping, including insufficient flaring that would lead in turn to poor debridement and canal distortions.

Tales from the Chamber
I Take Things Out; I Put Things In! (The Art of the Retreat)

ere’s something to chew on. Believe it or not, some root canal therapy fails. I know, I know, how can that be? Well it happens, probably five to six percent of the time. Easy for a practitioner to understand, but always disappointing to the patient and incredibly frustrating to the guy who did it. You get a patient back on a six-month recall with a new PAR or a patient continually presents with symptoms after you did the treatment and you wonder what went wrong, and what do you do?

 RICA AND I recently attended the 15th anniversary celebration of the United Arab Emirates International Dental Conference and Arab Dental Exhibition, AEEDC, in Dubai. This is one of the largest dental meetings in the world and certainly the largest dental meeting in the Middle East. I was fortunate enough to be asked to present five lectures during the meeting.
