| Treatment solution : |
| At the present time, this treatment solution is only intended for edentulous jaws where: |
 |
Sufficient amount of jaw bone exists. |
|
The quality of the jaw bone is adequate for immediate loading. |
|
Opening the mouth at least 50 mm is possible (important especially for lower jaws while teeth are present in the opposite jaw). |
|
The health of the patient is not compromised. |
| A unique planning and treatment solution |
| The Teeth-in-an-Hour™ protocol is a unique solution made possible by the Procera ®System. A custom fabricated precision drill guide and a pre-manufactured prosthesis, based on CT images and virtual planning, can be made before surgery. The major decisions of the treatment are made during the planning. The execution of the implant placement that follows is performed with minimal surgical intervention. |
| Computerised technology |
| The rapid development of computerised tomography (CT) scan techniques with decreased radiation and 3D computerised imaging technology has made it possible to fully visualise the placement of implants in a real 3D environment. |
| High precision |
| The use of surgical templates to place implants has been shown to provide added value and surgical templates with high precision sleeves have optimised prosthetic rehabilitation since planning is both anatomically and prosthetically driven. |
| The result : |
| Teeth-in-an-Hour™allows the possibility to provide patients fiexd, well-functioning, and esthetic prostheses on implants in less than an hour. Thanks to the flapless technique, this treatment will be a totally fantastic experience for your patients with |
|
Greatly reduced healing time |
|
No temporaries |
|
No significant pain nor swelling |

| Root Canal Treatment |

|
What is Root Canal Treatment ? |
| |
| Root Canal or Endodontic treatment deals with the diseases of the pulp. The pulp consists of nerves, blood vessels and other soft tissues. It is made up of a pulp chamber and one or more Root Canals. When the pulp is irreversibly damaged, it has to be removed so that the source of pain and / or infection can be eliminated After which the hollow pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, filled and sealed. |
| |
|
| When is Root Canal Treatment required ? |
| In advanced tooth decay, the pulp may be irreversibly damaged, leading to severe toothache. The removal of the pulp will eliminate the pain as well as the infection. Trauma and gum disease can also cause pupal disease, leading eventually to non-vital (dead)
pulp. |
| |
| What are the Alternatives to Root Canal Treatment ? |
| Extraction with subsequent replacement with an artificial tooth is the only alternative. Root Canal Treatment saves teeth that otherwise would have to be extracted. |
| |
| How is root canal treatment done? |
| Generally, Root Canal Treatment is completed in single sitting. In selected cases, it may require a sitting more. In between visits, the opening of the tooth is sealed with a temporary filling material. X-rays are also taken often to aid the instrumentations and to monitor the progress of the treatment. |
| |
| Will there be pain during the Treatment ? |
| Root Canal Treatment is generally done under local anaesthesia. Hence, the patient is absolutely comfortable during the treatment. The patient may experience mild discomfort for a few days after the treatment. In 2% cases there might be severe pain and / or a swelling after the Root Canal Treatment, Which generally subsides within a day or two. |
| |
| Are there any problems associated with a Root Canal Treated tooth ? |
| Although the pulp has been removed, an endodontically treated tooth can still be used for biting and chewing just like any other normal tooth. However, a Root Canal Treated tooth may be slightly more brittle than a normal tooth. A proper restoration (Crown) and good oral care are essential to ensure that the tooth will be able to serve you. |
