Team members of a certain age will remember the concept of Independent Dentistry. This idea of dental care which is not provided under the NHS, is paid for by the patient, and does not call itself Private.

This review of coronectomy versus extraction of third molars in patients at increased risk of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injuries included 42 observational studies. The findings indicate lower a reduction in the odds of IAN sensory loss in favour of coronectomy and an increase in the odds of surgical reintervention.
The post Coronectomy for lower third molar surgery appeared first on National Elf Service.
This review comparing the incidence of peri-implant disease with cement- and screw-retained prostheses included 6 RCTs. The findings suggest no difference in level of peri-implant disease with cement- or screw retained prosthesis. However, the studies are small none of them are at low risk of bias. Consequently the findings should be interpreted cautiously.
The post Cement-or screw-retained implant-supported prostheses and peri-implant disease appeared first on National Elf Service.
