Cover image: Calcium phosphate crystal, colored scanning electron micrograph
(SEM). Calcium phosphates are used in dental materials. Applications of calcium
phosphates include repair of periodontal defects, augmentation of alveolar
bone, sinus lifts, tooth replacement and repair of large bone defects caused by
tumors. They are also used as scaffolds in tissue engineering for bone or dentin
regeneration. Calcium phosphates are used in the form of injectable cements or
as coatings on titanium and titanium alloy implants to combine the bioactivity of
the calcium phosphates and the strength of the metal.

Incorporating Attachments and
Implants in the Design of Removable
Partial Dentures
TDIC Risk Management: Beyond the
Science — Patient Emotions in Dentistry
Sponsored by The Dentists Insurance Company
Recommended Lecture on Page 34
Tony Daher, DDS, MSEd
Fabricating removable partial dentures
(RPDs) is a common procedure in everyday
practice, yet dentists are frequently frustrated
in troubleshooting for problems related to RPDs. Patients
often perceive RPDs as either unsightly or uncomfortable,
and a likely place for these particular partials may be in the
patient’s drawer. This presentation will review the RPD design
sequence and will focus on evidence-based procedures in
fabricating RPDs using attachments and dental implants.

Ruchi K. Sahota, DDS
Arthur W. Curley, JD
As many as 75 percent of U.S. adults
experience some degree of dental
fear, be it mild to severe. Fear, as well as anxiety and worry,
may not be easily identified by the dental practitioner.
Misunderstandings can lead to a chain of events that can
have serious consequences for a dental practice. Learning
the skills to correctly handle patients who exhibit these
emotions can go far in having a practice that not only avoids
legal troubles, but allows patients to feel at ease.

Digital Implant Dentistry Part I:
Digital Implant Diagnostics
Dynamic Communications: It’s Not Just a
Practice Management Program
Keith Progebin, DDS
Dentistry in the third dimension with cone beam
CT technology offers greater accuracy than
traditional 2-D dentistry. The digital workflow
starts with the restorative vision through a diagnostic wax-up.
Computer software allows a team of clinicians to collaborate
through screen sharing to plan comprehensive “restoratively
driven” implant reconstructions. When merging data from
STL files and Dicom images with static and dynamic guided
surgery, accurate implant placement is achieved.

Forty-seven percent of American adults have

Healthier Dentistry by Keeping

dentistry into supragingival dentistry.
