Advanced clinical technology--clinical tool or expensive toy?

There should no longer be any doubt in dentists' minds when it comes to the importance of technology in the day-to-day activities of the dental office. But there is, and this doubt must be addressed if the profession is to grow and prosper to its full potential. Denying the importance of technology--or putting on blinders--only leads to complacency, and clearly does not support our professions goal of providing the finest dental care possible. This article addresses the use of technology in a clinically-related manner, and attempts to provide the practitioner with valuable practice management tools to allow for a prosperous and efficient dental practice.

Spark erosion: a sophisticated technique to solve a difficult problem.

Even with the most careful planning, situations arise that require sophisticated treatment alternatives. The Milled Bar, of which the spark erosion bar is one type, is described in detail. A two-degree tapered meso (primary) bar with anterior friction pins attached to osseointegrated implants provides frictional retention when supporting a secondary bar with swivel lock attachments. The two components of the prosthesis are accurately associated with each other using spark erosion and plasma arc welding technology.

Evaluation of the safety of the carbon dioxide laser used in conjunction with root form implants: a pilot study.

This in vitro study was designed to test the safety of the CO2 laser when used around two different types of implant surfaces, hydroxyapatite-coated and commercially pure titanium, in a pig mandible. The implants were subjected to specific amounts of laser energy and then evaluated for temperature change at five different sites. The CO2 laser, when used at clinically applicable power densities of 2 and 4 watts in a continuous mode for up to 4 seconds, did not cause a temperature change in excess of 7 degrees F.
