As in all medical fields, technology is having an impact in dentistry. Dental professionals are seeing an influx of new and improved technology that can help them be more efficient and effective in their practice. Here’s a look at the latest in dental technology. Digital Dentistry and 3D Printing With the reinvention of 3D printing across industries its overarching goal, Formlabs has created the Form 2 SLA 3D Printer . Its precise 3D prints can help in the production of dental models accurate enough for use in dentistry. What’s more, Formlabs promises scalability, affordability and reliability. The Form 2 is able to produce models that are as precise as those by large-format dental 3D printers, but at a much lower cost.

Children in pain waiting half a year for dental operations up 50%, Labour warns
Dentistry experts have warned of a “troubling” increase in children being made to wait in pain for six months or more for surgery to treat serious dental problems, up 50 per cent in the past two years. Figures obtained by Labour show the pressures on NHS waiting lists are being made even worse by an avoidable crisis of tooth decay from sugar consumption and a failure to promote good oral hygiene. Children in poorer areas are much harder hit the British Dental Association (BDA) said, adding that the ballooning waiting lists are another example of the “government failure to tackle wholly preventable disease”.
Patients having to ‘pull out their own teeth’ because NHS dentists refuse to treat them
Patients are having to pull out their own teeth because NHS dental practices are refusing to register new patients, according to a new analysis. A study by the BBC of 2,500 dental practices on the NHS Choices website found that nearly half (48 per cent) are not accepting new adult NHS patients, while two-fifths (40 per cent) were not accepting new child patients on the NHS, The figures have prompted concerns of an “emerging crisis” in dental care in England, with the British Dental Association (BDA) accusing the Government of commissioning only enough dentistry to treat about half the adult population.
How brushing your teeth can help prevent Alzheimer’s
For most people, teeth cleaning may just be a normal part of your daily routine. But what if the way you clean your teeth today might affect your chances of getting Alzheimer’s disease in years to come? There is an increasing body of evidence to indicate gum (periodontal) disease could be a plausible risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. Some studies even suggest your risk doubles when gum disease persists for 10 or more years. Indeed, a new US study published in Science Advances details how a type of bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis – or P. gingivalis – associated with gum disease has been found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Tests on mice also showed how the bug spread from their mouth to the brain where it destroyed nerve cells. The report in question was carried out and self-funded by founders of the US pharmaceutical company Cortexyme , which is researching ...
