Two years after the COVID 19 pandemic, The Dental Clinic participated in Europerio 10, the biggest European Periodontology Conference, in Copenhagen, presenting a poster. The theme of the poster was: «Post extraction alveolar ridge preservation as a treatment before a conventional prosthesis or implant placement in the esthetic zone. A case series». The case study was presented by our periodontologist Dr. Achilleas Iskas, our dentist Dr. Christina Doulkeridou and our scientific supervisor Dr. Markos Rallis.

Our clinic is upgrading its equipment with the new Flashforge Dental 3D Printer and the CREALITY resin polymerization device. Printer features include:

1) Printing dental casts.

2) Printing of splints for direct use in the mouth (whitening splints, burping splints, surgical splints).

3) Printing temporary crowns and bridges.

The printer provides detailed accuracy and significant time savings in the fabrication of prosthetic and cosmetic dental work, thus ensuring better quality and, if possible, faster patient service.

Laser

Lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light. When used for surgical and dental procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporizer of tissue that it comes in contact with. When used in teeth-whitening procedures, the laser acts as a heat source and enhances the effect of tooth-bleaching agents. Dental diode lasers, sometimes called soft-tissue lasers, are ideal for procedures that involve cutting or contouring oral soft tissues. As a clinical tool, diode lasers offer a wide range of clinical treatment possibilities as they are capable of creating precision cuts in gingiva and other soft tissues while also eliminating bleeding at the site and reducing the healing time for the patient. Soft tissue lasers are ideal for troughing around preparations, sterilizing endodontic canals, treating periodontal disease, and even tooth whitening.

For optimal master crown and bridge impressions, the diode laser allows the user to trough the soft tissue to create a more accessible preparation margin and, at the same time, to control moisture contamination and bleeding without the use of chemicals and packing cord(s) or the fear of tissue recession
Frenectomies can be performed using the diode laser to stop the migration of gingival tissue, and hyperplastic tissue is easily trimmed without the need for a scalpel and sutures.

Laser therapy provides the following advantages:

Treatment will not harm dental hard tissue
Laser therapy shouldn’t injure the dental pulp
The patient will need minimal local anesthetic, and most patients prefer to receive some form of anesthesia
Diode lasers are safe for use around dental implants
They are also safe around PFM and full-metal crowns, and gold alloy and amalgam restorations
Dental lasers provide excellent hemostasis
Soft tissue removal is very precise and predictable, and the pen-style holder provides good visibility
Stitches and periodontal packs may not be required, which can be especially advantageous for pediatric or special needs patients
