Albucasis: the Cordoban Who Invented the Periodontal Curette
Al-Zahrawi (Albucasis), Córdoba, 10th century. In the Kitab al-Tasrif he drew 14 instruments to remove tartar. The periodontal scaler was born here.
Expansion 4.0: Graftless LMSF with screw expanders — case 1.6/1.5
Graftless LMSF clinical case: two implants at sites 1.6/1.5 with calibrated screw expanders. Localised management of the maxillary sinus, no graft.
Per-Ingvar Brånemark Never Wanted to Be a Dentist
Brånemark studied rabbits. In 1952, a titanium screw wouldn't unscrew. From that moment, implant dentistry was never the same.
Occlusal Trauma Does Not Prevent Periodontal Healing
Lindhe and Ericsson (1976) demonstrate that occlusal trauma does not impair healing after periodontal surgery, provided plaque is removed.
Streptococcus dentisani: The Good Bacterium That Protects Your Teeth
S. dentisani produces bacteriocins against S. mutans and buffers plaque acidity. A promising oral probiotic, from the mouth for the mouth.
