One of the biggest breakthroughs in minimally invasive dentistry has to do with dental crowns. Normally when preparing dental crowns the damaged tooth may be cut down by 75% to make way for the new crown, and usually requires drilling underneath the gum line. This, in turn, irritates the gum tissue, leading to inflammation. If this bacteria becomes trapped the patient now has to deal with gum disease.
This is where Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz with the Los Angeles Institute of Clinical Dentistry comes in with his minimally invasive approach to dentistry, known as supra-gingival dentistry. This innovative technique strives to limit dental restorations above the gum line for healthier gums below the gum line. This applies not just to crowns, but fillings, veneers and onlays as well, and is accomplished using innovative materials and techniques.
Thanks to advanced technologies of adhesion using a bonded porcelain onlay, more of the original tooth can be maintained, reinforced and strengthened. By providing the patient with healthier tooth structures and restorative options, they can keep their teeth and gums healthier, for longer. Since more of the original tooth is left intact, the results are more aesthetically pleasing.
Ruiz Dental Seminars offers workshops for dental offices such as Porcelain Onlays and Full Crowns. Led by Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz, you will learn these techniques that ultimately strive to protect the patient from tooth sensitivity (which can happen when placing traditional crowns). Taking you step-by-step, Dr. Ruiz will show you how to use these leading-edge supra-gingival techniques in dentistry as you learn how to implement tooth preparation, temporization, bonded cementation and full crowns.
