It’s surprising how periodontal disease can affect more than just our mouths. Recent studies have shown a significant connection between gum health and systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. I’m curious, how often do you discuss these links with your patients during cleanings? It can really change their outlook on maintaining gum health.
, this drives me nuts! It’s so important to connect gum health with systemic issues like heart disease. I bring it up every time, but some patients still don’t get how serious it’s.
I’ve been using some of these new ceramics in my lab, and I’ve found that temp bonding can really help during the initial fitting to ensure durability during patient trials.
These new ceramics are really game-changers, especially for patients who grind their teeth. I’ve noticed that while they’re durable, the temp bonding can still be a bit tricky; it doesn’t always hold up as well as I’d hoped. Has anyone tried using a specific bonding agent that worked better?
Absolutely! I always mention the link between gum health and heart disease during cleanings. It really resonates with some patients.
