Laser have been well accepted by the various disciplines of the dentistry as a useful adjunct to the care of the patient as standard surgical instrument. Hard tissue application has been more difficult to develop and the search for a satisfactory alternative to the high speed dental drill continues. The application of laser technology to medicine and dentistry has entered the age of sophisticated and rationale treatment. It is important for the dental practitioner to become familiar with these principles, and then choose proper lasers for the intended clinical applications. The scientific basis and tissue effects of dental lasers must be known to accomplish a specific treatment objective.
When the first lasers were introduced, they were projected as miracle treatment. As more wavelengths and different lasers appeared, more claims followed. However, the dental fraternity soon realized that some of the claims were unsubstantiated. Thanks to the tremendous amount of research and education, clinicians now know the limitations and advantages of lasers. Laser technology for soft tissue surgery, hard tissue surgery, caries removal and cavity preparation is in a high state of refinement, having several decades of research behind it. Used in conjunction with or as a replacement for traditional methods, it is expected that specific laser technologies will become an essential component of contemporary dental practice over the next decade .Let's hope that dramatic improvements in laser devices and techniques in the coming decades, will open a new era of sophistication in the dental procedures.

The loss of anterior teeth can be psychologically and socially damaging to the patient. Despite a wide range of treatment options available, traumatized teeth may be inevitably lost on certain occasions. Although an anterior tooth has mechanical functionality, it is the compromised facial esthetics associated with tooth loss that is the patient's primary concern. Immediate esthetic replacement of the missing tooth is required in such cases. This replacement can be temporary, semitemporary or permanent in nature. The abutment teeth can be conserved with minimal or no preparation, thus keeping the technique reversible, and can be completed at chair side thereby avoiding laboratory costs. It can be used as an interim measure or a definitive prosthesis. This paper describes the replacement of a right mandibular lateral incisor using a glass fiber reinforced ribbon with the avulsed natural tooth crown as a pontic.Keywords

Obstructive sleep apnea, a sleep disorder, is becoming more prevalent and requires prompt and effective treatment by the dental and medical specialties. Pharyngeal airway narrowing is a commonly described characteristic in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) patients. Conservative treatment modalities (ie, intraoral devices that prevent or minimize airway obstruction by the tongue) are recommended for treating mild to moderate forms of OSA. This case report demonstrates the use of a simple intraoral device designed on the Erkodent system, in the management of OSA.Keywords

Imaging is an useful adjunct for many dental procedures in general but is essential in the clinical practice of implantology. Apart from ruling out local bone and tooth pathology, imaging helps clinicians to determine bone quality and quantity and give a fair idea of implant orientation. Unlike endodontics, which can rely on conventional intra oral periapical assays (IOPA), imaging in implantology require definite cross sectional views to appreciate buccal and lingual bone plates and overall bone quality and quantity bucco-lingually. From conventional IOPAs and orthopantomograms (OPG) to cone beamcomputed tomography (CBCT) and three dimensional implant planning software with computer aided designined and machinined surgical guide templates, the diagnostics in implantology has gone through a sea change. With prosthetically guided implant placement becoming a standard protocol today, the need for computed tomography has also increased. This article reviews various diagnostic imaging modalities used in implantology today with clinical guidelines to adhere in the end.Keywords

Root-supported overdentures are an alternative to extractions and complete dentures. Chewing efficiency with a ischolar_main-supported overdenture is higher in patients who previously wore a complete denture. This increases in function, retention, and stability leads to better esthetics and phonetics in denture wearers, thereby elevating patient's self-esteem. This article demonstrates a technique of fabrication of ischolar_main supported overdenture, using Locator attachments (Zest Anchors, Inc.) to provide retention and stability and resistance to denture displacement. Locators can be used to attach to ischolar_mains with or without a coping in a direct or indirect technique. Retaining the existing teeth also preserves the alveolar bone and increases both proprioception and masticatory performance.Keywords
