Maryland Bridge
A dental bridge is a piece of equipment used to replace one or more missing teeth. These bridges are cemented into place and therefore a permanent piece of cosmetic surgery.
Dental bridges replace missing teeth by bridging the gap between two remaining teeth. Typically, bridges consist of a pontic (false tooth) and crowns placed on the abutment (surrounding natural teeth) to hold the false tooth in place.
To design a bridge a dentist must first shrink, then reshape the surrounding teeth to make room for the supporting crowns. A mold of the teeth is then made and this mold is then sent off to a laboratory, where the actual crowns and bridge are made. Nearly everyone who has one or more missing teeth is a candidate for a dental bridge.
There are several different types of dental bridges, with one of the most common types being the resin-bonded bridge, also known as the Maryland Bridge
The Maryland Bridge is an ultra-conservative treatment option that enables the dental practitioner to splint or replace missing teeth esthetically, with an absolute minimum amount of tooth modification. This type of bridge combines a composite resin cemented to acid etched enamel and an acid etched cast metal framework. The Maryland Bridge improves the bond strength of the restoration three-fold over earlier perforated resin-bonded retainers.
With the Maryland Bridge, fixed partial dentures, periodontal splints and a variety of other conservative restorations can be placed with a minimum of tooth modification. Abutment teeth are basically left intact and not damaged.
Modifications of the bridge are restricted, but all tooth preparations are supragingival, (above the gingiva), making modifications kinder to the periodontal tissues and impressions easier to obtain. The preparation for a Maryland bridge does not involve the dentin so sensitivity is virtually eliminated either from the preparation or subsequent cementation procedure. Most importantly, as the Maryland Bridge requires little or no removal of tooth structure, the treatment is often reversible.
The Maryland Bridge has been used successfully for over 20 years. The quality and design enhancements of this cast resin-bonded bridge have been proven successful both as a transitional and/or permanent prosthesis, particularly where there is a reluctance to perform extensive reduction on a good tooth.
As with all types of bridges it is important to maintain proper oral hygiene. With proper oral hygiene, bridges can last up to ten years. However, improper or infrequent brushing and flossing, irregular dental visits, and excessive sugar and starch intake can all bring untimely damage to the bridge.

Denture Care
When you lose a tooth or an entire set of teeth to injury or disease, it can be a traumatic event in many ways. Your smile is something that is important to daily life, and a missing tooth can completely wreck it. Having a gap between teeth can also cause problems of tooth misalignment as they begin to shift with all that extra space. It can also complicate your hygiene by being a trap for food bits that grow bacteria in your mouth.
Dentures have been the traditional way to replace lost teeth, and they promise to significantly eliminate the problems arising from missing teeth. However, they are not without their own specific issues. Dentures care is a crucial part of having dentures. There are several things you need to consider when caring for your dentures.
Hygiene is one of them. Though dentures prevent food from being trapped in the gap they fill, they can still accumulate bacteria through daily use. It’s recommended that you wash your dentures at least once per day. The best time is usually right before you put them on. To clean dentures, use a suitable cleaning paste designed for dentures (they don’t have the same requirements as regular teeth) and a good denture brush. Be sure to cleanse all surfaces of the denture and focus on areas where staining may occur. If you use denture adhesives, you must make sure that all of it has been removed before applying a new patch of adhesive.
Before you sleep you should remove your dentures and place them in a cleansing fluid. This helps maintain cleanliness while giving your gums and oral tissue time to be exposed to air and saliva. You shouldn’t leave dentures in for more than 16 hours without taking them off for at least 8 hours.
You should always be monitoring the fit of your dentures. It’s easy to forget that you’re even wearing them, but the fact of the matter is that you can do serious harm to your mouth if you wear them improperly. Dentures should be snug and comfortable. Regular chewing of soft to moderately hard food should not jostle or shift the dentures out of position. If you like to eat harder foods on a regular basis, an adhesive is probably the best way to go. If you find that your mouth is sore from wearing the dentures, and if sores begin to develop, this should not be corrected by applying more adhesive. This is a sign that your dentures may no longer fit your mouth correctly or that they were never done properly in the first place. At the first sign of any misfit, you should consult your dentist for a new set.
Dentures are a great solution to the problem of missing teeth. However, you should never neglect dentures care just like you shouldn’t neglect proper oral hygiene.

Infection Control
It has long been noticed by dental community in the Philippines the lack of guidelines on Infection Control. This year the Philippine Dental Association put up its Infection Control Guidelines which the PDA based on United States' Guideline for Infection Control in dental health care settings. The PDA has fulfilled the need to meet global standards through the said infection control protocol.
All dentists have the professional responsibility to prevent transmission of infection. Dental professionals are always at risk of catching infection and passing it to others. Infection from patient to dentist, dentist to patient, patient to patient and dentist to others. These guidelines meant to inform and steer local dentists to strict and updated antiseptic systems observed internationally.
Kaya kapag may nakita o naobserve kayo na kakaibang ginawa ang dentists niyo, advise niyo sila na meron nang guidelines ang Pinoy dentists about infection control. Suggest the linked site above or they can get their own Guideline booklet from PDA.

Google Adsense
I've decided to remove Google Adsense from this blog to make this non-profit. I was not banned from adsense. In fact my other dental blogs are doing okay and I might enroll for masters in Prosthodontics next month using what I'm getting from Adsense.
Google Adsense is one of the best products Google provided for Filipino bloggers, second to Google Search Engine. Philippines is a third world country. One of the most corrupt nation in the world. Lots of filipinos can't even afford to surf the internet. The opportunity for a better life can't be provided by the system. Walang trabaho at ang ekonomiya bugbog sa kurapsyon. Mismong SSS id ayaw ibigay dahil walang pondo ang SSS para magprovide ng ID.
Google Adsense gave Filipino bloggers the chance to earn money. Yung tsansang hindi maibigay ng sistema at ng mga taong naiboto natin. Especially for bloggers from poor towns and provinces na hindi maabot ng asenso.

Ultrasonic Scaler
This is a clogged Woodpecker Ultrasonic Scaler. Particles from the new tube installed blocked the narrower tubes from the valve going to the tube inside the handpiece. It's important to make sure that new tubes are clean and free from small particles before connecting it to the main unit.
Woodpecker is one of the most affordable scalers in the Philippines.
An ultrasonic scaler is primarily used for oral/dental prophylaxis.

Autoclave
These are photos of a dental autoclave I bought from Pandora Dental Trading. I have taken these photos when I changed the busted tube inside the autoclave unit. The said tube is where the steam flows when it is being released.
Dental Autoclave is a dental equipment/device used to sterilize autoclavable dental instruments, inserts, handpieces and other equipments, by subjecting them to high pressure steam at 121° C or greater.
