Dental photography as a valuable documentation aid

The main purpose of photography in dentistry is documentation. The aim is to collect as much information as possible under reproducible conditions. For this purpose, the camera used, its accessories and the format and lighting of the intra- and extra oral recordings relevant to dentistry must be standardized. Under standardized photographic conditions, the recordings made can be compared with one another, even if the later recordings are made only after a long period of time and by different photographers. Only in this form can dental photography be used as a valuable documentation aid. The standards described by Wolfgang Bengel in 1985 are still valid, but they have to be updated and adapted to technical innovations.

In this webinar, the current development in the field of dental photography and related areas will be briefly explained.

Dr. Alessandro Devigus has had his own practice with a focus on CEREC since 1990, editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry.

ZIRCONIA: NEW INSIGHTS INTO TRIED AND PROVEN MATERIAL

You learn from your mistakes, but it’s better if you can learn from those of others. Dr. Dirawi will share his experience, tips and tricks when it comes to creating perfect Zirconia restorations.
Having great material like KATANA Zirconia is an excellent starting point. Yet to achieve highly aesthetic outcome you need to be aware of the unexpected pitfalls and challenges that can be prevented.

Zirconia, Oral scanner, feather edge preparation: the “winning triad”

The introduction of digital technology associated with the development of the latest zirconia materials offers the clinical and the dental technician a wide range of solutions to achieve aesthetics and function in a simple, predictable and above all conservative way. A further type of vertical preparation called "Minimally Invasive Vertical Preparation" has been introduced, applicable to numerous prosthetic clinical situations including cases of aesthetics. Minimally invasive vertical preparations, new type of zirconia and intraoral scanners represent a “winner triad” for today's prosthetic therapy.

ROBERTO ROSSI 

"YOU CAN’T STOP THE WAVES, BUT YOU CAN LEARN TO SURF"

Born in Savona in 1989, he studied and got his diploma at “Mazzini” Dental School, the one dental school in his hometown, and he still lives there. In 2007 he was awarded the National Award for Best Dental Technician in Turin. Since 2008 he has been working at Daniele Rondoni’s Dental Lab and he is now in charge of the aesthetic planning of dental restorations. He shares this task with Master Dental Technician Daniele Rondoni, with whom he decides which strategy and materials – composites or ceramic especially – to opt for. In 2011 he coauthored with Mr. Rondoni “Sei faccette additive in composito” (Six additional composite facets), an article published in Dental Labor, 5/2011. A teacher at NISC, Noritake Italian Study Club since 2014, he is also a teacher at the AAT Community College – a reality he feels especially attached to – and he is in charge of the photographic services and social network profiling of the lab.

DANIEL RONDONI
Born in Savona in 1961, he lives and works in his hometown where he has been the manager and director of his own laboratory since 1982.

Vahvalla ja kestävällä sidoksella hampaan ja restauraation välissä on ratkaiseva merkitys hoitotuloksen pitkäikäisyyden kannalta. Sidoksen laatuun ei kuitenkaan vaikuta vain käytetty sidosaine tai sementti, vaan myös itse sidostettava pinta. Haluttaessa varmistaa puhtaat sidostettavat pinnat niin hampaassa kuin restauraatiossa Kuraray Noritake Dentalin kehittämä KATANA™ Cleaner on oiva ratkaisu – universaali puhdistin MDP-suolalla ja 4,5 pH:lla suun sisäpuoliseen ja ulkopuoliseen käyttöön.

On todistettu, että syljen ja veren proteiinit vaikuttavat sidoksen lujuuteen heikentävästi. Erityisissä epäsuorissa toimenpiteissä on mahdotonta pitää sidostettavia pintoja puhtaina suun nesteistä. Viimeistään sovituksen aikana preparoitu hammas ja restauraatio kontaminoituvat ja ne tulee puhdistaa. Vedellä huuhtelu ei tuota haluttua vaikutusta eikä useat saatavilla olevat puhdisteetkaan , vaan tietty määrä proteiineja jää yleensä pintaan. Testit osoittavat, että käyttämällä KATANA™ Cleaneriä tai hiekkapuhallusta, saavutetaan tarvittava tehokas puhdistustulos vaarantamatta sidoksen lujuutta. Tämä pätee KATANA™ Zirconia -restauraatioihin, mutta KATANA™ Cleaner toimii myös dentiinille ja kiilteelle, joille hiekkapuhallus ja useimmat muut puhdistimet eivät ole indikoidut.

KATANA™ Cleanerin käyttö tarjoaa vielä yhden lisäedun: puhdistustoimenpide on poikkeuksellisen yksinkertainen, nopea ja siisti. Universaalin puhdistimen pullon innovatiivinen korkki mahdollistaa yhdellä kädellä avauksen ja annostelun vientimaljaan. Sen jälkeen se hierotaan restauraatiolle ja preparoidulle hammasrakenteelle tai nastalle kymmenen sekunnin ajan, huuhdellaan vedellä ja kuivataan. MDP-suolan korkean pinta-aktiivisuuden ansiosta nämä kymmenen sekuntia riittävät poistamaan proteiinit pinnoilta melkein täysin luoden olosuhteet, jotka ovat hyvin samanlaiset kuin ei-kontaminoituneilla sidospinnoilla. Tämän jälkeen valittu sidosaine tai sementti – esim. PANAVIA™ V5 tai PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal – applikoidaan valmistajan käyttöohjeiden mukaisesti.

Tuloksena on vahva, pitkäkestoinen ja luotettava sidos. Pilottikäyttäjät, jotka ovat jo testanneet tuotetta, ovat yhtä mieltä, että KATANA™ Cleaner tarjoaa helpon tavan optimoida sidoksen laatu ja selkeyttää sidostukseen liittyvät toimenpiteet.
