RDA
Abbreviation for Relative Dentine Abrasivity; measure for
abrasiveness of a toothpaste; The RDA-value depends on the hardness
and size of the abrasives contained in a toothpaste. The lower this
value the more gentle the toothpaste to the enamel.
Remineralisation
The process of re-depositing minerals into the
hard tooth tissues
Root caries
A kind of caries that can affect the entire root area;
Healthy tooth roots are covered by gum. The declining of gum (which
can happen at old age, or due to wrong cleaning techniques, hard
tooth brushes and abrasive toothpastes) may cause caries in the root
area. Root caries often leads to loss of teeth. Oral hygiene with
fluorided dental care products is of importance for preventing root
caries.
RoboDent® Navigation in Implant Dentistry
Implants are a particularly valuable and long-lasting form of dental
replacement. For optimal treatment results, the implants must be set
so that they are securely positioned in solid jaw bone and aligned
so that they will later be right under the middle of the future
tooth replacement. If more than one implant are being inserted,
their axes must be parallel. Position and angle have to be just
right - no easy task with free hand!
That is the right point to make use of RoboDent®.
RoboDent® supports both the planning and the performing of a
surgical procedure. It helps conform positioning and angle accuracy
to quality standards according to plan. And it allows less treatment
time with less trauma, too.
With RoboDent®, the implantologist can see on a screen whether he is
holding the drill properly for best drilling results. With RoboDent®
he can apply all implants in the optimal position and in perfect
execution of his plan.
The advantages of the system:
The implantologist can place the implants exactly where he thinks
they should be from the surgical and prosthetic points of view. He
achieves optimal aesthetics and stability. The wound is less painful
and postoperative swelling is lighter. In many cases a surgical
incision and suturing in the oral mucous membrane can be avoided.
Treatment time and recovery from the operation are shorter than they
are after conventional surgery, while the precision is significantly
higher.
