Type your Superior ErgonomicsDentists experience a greater amount of neck and back pain than any other profession -with around 70% reporting musculoskeletal pain. This can develop even as a dental student. Poor vision and insufficient lighting when performing dental treatment often results in poor operator posture. Loupes force you to maintain a healthier posture, thus reducing this problem.There are two types of loupes available, and are classified based on the positioning of the optics:

Introduction: Treatment of furcation defects especially critical size defects remains a considerable challenge in clinical practice. Treatment modalities vary according to the type and location of the defects. Regenerative procedures are one of the treatment modalities in furcation involvement. Objectives:The aim of this study was to evaluate histomorphometrically the regenerative potential of amnion chorion membrane (ACM) on the management of induced grade II furcation defects and compare it to collagen membrane. Material and methods:This study was conducted on eight adult male Mongrel dogs, about 18-24 months old, weighing approximately 18-24 Kgs. On the left sides; the created defects were filled with β-tricalcium phosphate + hydroxy apatite and covered by amnion chorion membrane (study group). While on the right sides; the created defects were filled with the β-tricalcium phosphate + 2 Alexandria Dental Journal. Volume XX Issue X.hydroxyapatite then covered by collagen membranes (control group).Results: ACM has shown superior results in bone formation when compared to control group treated with resorbable collagen membrane. Conclusion:ACM is an effective, easy to handle, safe, and time saving membrane that can be used in periodontal regeneration and management of grade II furcation defects.

At this paper, we discussed the use of laser in oral surgeries. The aim of this discussion and study were to verify the reliability and efficacy of one of these compact portable diode instruments, emitting a maximum power density of 7W/cm2 not requiring pre-warming or controlling, and delivering a wavelength of 980nm. In addition to that, we compared between the healing time of some cases were treated by diode laser. Recently, laser is one of the most common surgical procedures in the field of oral surgery, implant dentistry, endodontic treatment as well. The role of laser surgery in the oral cavity is well established. The use of diode laser removing a haemangioma as a special case is currently under investigation. The benefits of oral laser surgery are many benefits, i.e., a relatively bloodless surgical and post-surgical course, minimal swelling and scarring and reduction of post-surgical pain are discussed. An interesting cases of removal; a haemangioma, fibroma and performin a frenectomy with a 980nm diode laser are presented.

Collagen related diseases most commonly arise from genetic defects or nutritional deficiencies that affect the biosynthesis assembly posttranslational modification a secretion or other processes involved in normal collagen production. One thousand mutations have been identified in twelve out of more than twenty types of collagen. These mutations can lead to various diseases at the tissue level. This report describes an Egyptian female presented by multiple different polysystematic disorders proved to be manifestations of multiple rare inherited connective tissue disorders in the same patient to be the first woman worldwide to comprise all these rare syndromes up to our review.
