WISDOM TEETH
As most people grow older, they eventually develop a total of 32 adult teeth, which replace “baby” teeth as they are lost. Unfortunately, sometimes, people with large teeth and/or small jaws do not have enough room in their jawbones to allow all 32 teeth to come in.
The third molar teeth (so-called “wisdom teeth) are usually the last teeth to erupt (grow into the mouth)and they wind up with no place to go! Less often, other teeth can also become trapped for various reasons. These teeth are then trapped in the bone. Think of 32 people trying to jam themselves into an elevator that is only big enough for 28 people. The last 4 people (teeth) cannot find room to grow into the mouth all the way.

STERILISATION STANDERDS AT SCIENTIFIC DENTAL CLINIC
It is a great concern for those patients who are traveling from distant parts of the world to India for dental treatment or dental implant treatment. We follow the international standards in sterilization.
Many of the commonly used items are disposable and hence transmission on communicable diseases cannot happen. For eg the suction tips, suction tubing’s, syringes, gloves, patient drapes, impression trays, are some of the disposable items to be mentioned.

IMPLANTS FOR MISSING FACIAL ORGANS (EAR, NOSE, EYES)
Over the last decade, there has been a very rapid development in technical possibilities to provide patients with facial prostheses retained by skin penetrating implants after ablative tumor surgery. The use of Osseo integrated implants in the patient who has undergone radiotherapy is also possible.
The literature indicates that facial prostheses were used in China as early as 2300B.C. In ancient Egypt, prostheses were used to cover facial disfigurement. One of the most well-known people to wear a nasal prosthesis was the Danish astronomist Tycho Brahe, who died in 1601. Brahe lost his nose in a duel and wore a prosthesis made of silver; the most commonly used prosthetic material at that time. In the mid-19 th century, prostheses were made from leather, enamel, and porcelain.

FACTORS WHICH AFFECT THE COST OF DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT
Dr Thomas gives an insight into the factors which affect the overall cost of dental implant treatment. Following are the factors which could affect the cost of dental implant treatment.
There are different makes of implants available. All of them are basically commercially pure titanium. To group them they are less expensive ones and branded ones. The most of the commonly used implants have the same success rate. Doctors prefer certain brands to others because of the user friendliness, support from the company in supplying the parts, their previous experience ect. The so called branded ones are expensive but they don’t improve the success rate.

MAXILLARY SINUS
The maxillary sinus may present challenges in both the diagnosis and of dental and non-dental related problems in the orofacial region. In order to establish proper diagnoses treatment modalities and methods to prevent and to treat complications in this area, the Anatomy of This Region Must Be Known in Detail.
This article provides details on the anatomy of the maxillary sinus, as well as applications and techniques relevant to performing surgery in and around that structure.

REPLACEMENT OF MERCURY AMALGAM FILLINGS
Amalgam fillings have been in use for over 150 years, yet still they are, by far, use today. An amalgam consists of an alloy of silver, copper, tin and zinc mixed with an equal amount of mercury, to a paste, which will subsequently set and harden over the next 24 hours. Unfortunately, amalgam is now known to be NOT the inert substance about which dentists have been traditionally taught.
Throughout the life of a filling, mercury is lost in the form of vapor and abrasion particles from its surfaces and is absorbed into the body to accumulate in organs such as the liver, kidneys, brain and central nervous system. This rate of loss is greatly increased by such simple actions as chewing and brushing the teeth, which, after all, most of as indulge in from time to time. It is this slow but continuing build- up of mercury in body tissues which forms the basis of concern at the potential of amalgam to cause problems. Allied to this, are the common incidence of allergy to mercury and the electrical activity from metallic fillings; both of which may well be implicated in the process.
