ABSTRACT
Dental care providers need to be able to communicate effectively with their patients in order to build rapport and trust. Highly developed communication skills also enable the dental care provider to extract more accurate diagnostic information and to more effectively present treatment options to the patient. Neurolinguistic programming techniques can be employed to accomplish these as well as other objectives.

Dual arch impression procedures can produce accurate impressions and bite registrations for the fabrication of single crowns. To accomplish this, the dentist must select an appropriately sized and shaped tray, appropriate impression material and a dual arch impression procedure suitable for each case. Dual arch impression procedures can save impression material and chair time.

Odontogenic infections can extend into the maxillary sinus and produce sinusitis that mimics other pathoses. Infection of odontogenic origin should be considered in the differential diagnosis of maxillary sinusitis. Sinusitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of maxillary posterior teeth with acute or chronic symptoms.

A clinical technique for using rectified turpentine oil to soften and dissolve gutta-percha to facilitate retreatment is described. Turpentine oil should be heated to 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) to increase its reactivity before delivery to the canal space.

Rectified turpentine oil can be used to soften or dissolve gutta-percha in the root canal space to facilitate endodontic retreatment or preparation of space for a post. For endodontic retreatment, the turpentine oil can be heated to 71 degrees C which significantly increases its ability to dissolve gutta-percha. For removing only a portion of the gutta-percha while leaving the rest intact, as for the preparation of space for a post, the turpentine oil is delivered to the canal at body temperature (37 degrees C).

Dual arch impression techniques enable the dentist to capture an impression of the prepared tooth, the opposing teeth and the occlusal registration in one procedure. This saves chair time and impression material.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of increasing the temperature on the ability of rectified turpentine oil to dissolve gutta-percha. Rectified turpentine oil was warmed to 158 degrees F and then exposed to gutta-percha. This resulted in a significant increase (p < 0.01) in the ability of rectified turpentine oil to dissolve gutta-percha.

Setting times were determined for Kerr pulp canal sealer and the powder component of Kerr pulp canal sealer mixed with different liquid essential oils. The mean setting time of Kerr pulp canal sealer was 16.5 min. The mean setting times for the powder component of Kerr pulp canal sealer mixed with pure eugenol or for the standard liquid component of Kerr pulp canal sealer with rectified turpentine oil were 16.5 and 18.0 min, respectively. There was no significant difference in setting times among the three groups. The addition of rectified turpentine oil to the liquid component of Kerr pulp canal sealer did not have a significant effect on setting time.
