Over the past decade, many new technologies have been introduced into medicine. This was especially true for the industry such as dentistry, which was a very pleasant moment for patients.
Dental lasers
One of the newest and most exciting technologies is laser dental treatment. Dental lasers belong to the surgical family and are used to whiten tooth enamel, remove affected tissues, and are also used in tooth restoration. Depending on the required treatment, the dentist can use the laser for a long time, or he can use point touches. This procedure is not safe for the eyes, therefore, the use of special protective glasses is mandatory.
Laser treatment involves minimal use of pain relievers. This method has proven itself very well in the treatment of gum disease, because bleeding is minimized. This is a completely new technology that is just beginning to develop, so not all dentists have been able to master it. And those who have received the necessary skills must necessarily have a certificate with permission to carry out laser treatment.
Air sanding
This technology completely replaces the procedure for drilling the affected area of the tooth. This is due to the smallest abrasive particles that cleanse the tooth cavity from the affected tissues, thus preparing it for the placement of the filling. In most cases, this method also does not require the use of anesthesia, because the abrasive particles are very precisely directed to the desired area. Another plus of this method is that healthy tissues are not affected, only damaged ones are removed. This method is ideal for treating caries in the early stages.
Digital radiology
This latest digital technology enables dentists to acquire and store diagnostic images using a computer. The picture appears on the monitor instantly, it is possible to enlarge it and show the patient all treatment options. Also, along with this, it becomes possible to send the image electronically to your colleague or insurance company. So far, digital radiology has not completely replaced the usual method, but its development is proceeding at a rapid pace, and soon the use of digital technologies in dentistry will become commonplace.
Intraoral camera
At the moment, tiny video cameras have been developed for dental treatment. With its help, the dentist takes pictures of the oral cavity and transfers it to a computer, which is of great help in diagnosing diseases. The camera makes it possible to show the specialist what the X-ray image is not always able to convey, which makes it possible to identify problems at the initial stage. It also allows the patient to see their mouth through the eyes of the dentist, which often contributes to more thorough dental care later on.
Fearless visit to the dentist
The best news for dental patients is that dental treatment can be pain-free. Innovations in the development of technology and injection technique make it possible to do anesthesia completely painless. In addition, it is becoming fashionable to have specialists in dental clinics who can calm not only a child in a dentist's chair, but also an adult.
Cosmetic dentistry and video imaging
The new generation of dental materials looks surprisingly natural, this allows anyone to become the owner of a beautiful smile, a perfectly even row of teeth, and correct any defects. It is also possible to design your future smile using new video technologies.
