Every time I take off a healing abutment I see very red or cherry red
inflammation around the implant circumference.   I also sometimes see
this under  the pontic of 3 unit bridges.
I recently took off a healing cap placed almost 2 years and it was

Had an interesting occurrence this week.  I had a patient end up
in the hospital after I extracted 10 teeth and placed an immediate
denture.  At first I was wondering what I could possibly have done
better to prevent his present difficulties.

I recently had "some kind" of gum infection resulting in wisdom tooth pain.
My dentist gave me some antibiotics and everything is now fine.
The tooth that gave the pain is difficult to get round with a toothbrush and
I asked my dentist if there is anything else I could do in ...

My RHS upper pre-molar (I think previously crowned) has broken off at the
gum line, leaving the full root in situ.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled 1 week ago and food got stuck in there it doesnt

but not very much with say hot coffee.

Masseter pain, left side, only hurts when I chew.  So I've stopped chewing
for a while, what the heck.
Had it before on the right, long time ago, took a visit to my dentist who
referred me to a root canal guy who diagnosed it.  I see no need to repeat

Is any body know about the Noritake CAD CAM system?

I have a wisdom tooth that was last filled approximately 10 years ago and
remember being told at the time that it was a large deep filling and the
tooth would need to be extracted if it caused future problems.
Now to the present,during the past three days I have experienced pain ...

Less us not forget that any of these things  can act as orthopedic
appliances and can cause open bite, jaw repositioning, and tooth

Dental implants can be a permanent solution to these and several other
