ABSTRACT
Over the past decade, the field of periodontics has seen increasing surgical refinement of many procedures. Consistent successful periodontal treatment procedures demand clinical expertise that challenges the technical skills of periodontists to the limit of and beyond the range of visual acuity. Periodontal microsurgery is the refinement of basic surgical techniques made possible by the improved visual acuity gained with the use of surgical microscope. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review of periodontal microsurgery, the role of magnification systems and the advantages of microsurgery over conventional surgery..
ABSTRACT
Dentinal hypersensitivity is a common and chronic condition affecting the teeth in a stable percentage of population. Success with treatment of this condition has been limited at best. A new dentifrice containing Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate material has been developed that results in a significant amount of tubule occlusion reducing tooth hypersensitivity. In this article, Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate containing dentifrice, which is showing promise is analyzed, based on evidences.
