Temporary dental cement is an agent which helps in binding crown to a cut tooth surface. It is generally used in temporary dental fillings and also to cement temporary crowns. It is very much helpful for dentists to process the fillings and crown fitting.

As said, temporary dental cement is used for crowns and fillings. In case of fitting crowns, dentists first prepare the tooth surface to make a crown sit on it. The prepared tooth should be protected till the crown is attached. Otherwise the structure may get chipped and this may waste the whole effort of dentist. The crown is attached to the tooth surface with the help of temporary dental cement. Also, the design of the final crown has to be customized as per the patient tooth aesthetics and this takes time. So it better to fix a temporary crown before fitting a final crown.

The other common use of temporary dental cement is for dental fillings. Sometimes, a tooth decay may extend till the region very close to the pulp without touching it. Root canal treatment is done in order to treat it. However, as a last effort, dentists try to use temporary fillings. In this process, the dentists fill the tooth with dental cement having agents such as calcium. It helps to rebuild the dentin in the tooth. It then helps to form a bridge of dentin that prevents the progression of caries.

Whether used for crowns or fillings, however, the patient should take certain precautionary measures after using temporary dental cement. Avoiding sticky foods, extra and careful brushing and flossing, avoiding biting of hard substances and so on are some of the things to be followed when you have a temporary dental cement.

Green Tea – Healthy Drink for Teeth and Gums

by Jane

Green tea is known to provide many health benefits like reducing risk of heart diseases, losing weight and so on. One of the interesting benefits is the maintenance of teeth and gum health. It ensures better breath, gum health, cavity prevention, less tooth loss, and cancer control.

As green tea is only dried and is not brewed, its natural compounds remain intact. Specific compounds such as catechins help control inflammation and fight bacterial infection. The anti-inflammatory properties of green tea prevent inflammation of gums and hence, periodontal (gum) diseases are controlled. The specific compounds in green tea also prevent adherence of plaque to the teeth. Dental plaque is a pale yellow colored film that is formed by colonization of bacteria on teeth. Plaque formation is the main factor that initiates a sequence of dental problems. However, bacterial infection can be controlled by green tea. This helps prevent other dental problems like cavities, tooth loss, etc. As microbial growth is controlled, the acidity of saliva is reduced. So, even dental cavities can be prevented.

The active elements of green tea are antioxidants – compounds which kill cancer cells and also prevent tumor growth. So, the healthy drink can slow the progression of oral cancer and prevent it. Green tea also ensures better breath as it kills bacteria that make out mouths stinky. Certain green teas may have fluoride (from the leaves and the water it’s steeped in). It helps in protecting tooth enamel from decay. Hence, make a habit of having green tea once a day at least to enjoy dental and overall health.

Multi-panel Drug test Cups – Know How to Use

by Jane

Multi-panel drug test cups involve a one step immunoassay process for the qualitative detection of multiple drugs and drug metabolites in human urine. These cups work on the principle of competitive immunoassay-chemical reaction between a drug protein conjugate present in the device, and the drug or drug metabolites which may present in the sample. Compared to the drug test strips, these cups are much helpful as they avoid the inconvenience of spilling of the sample and also eases the work of drug testing. Let us see how to use these drug test cups for detecting the drug abuse.

  • If the drug testing kit or the specimen or any of the testing apparatus is stored in a refrigerator, they should be pulled out and allow them to come to room temperature before testing.
  • Don’t open the sealed pouch until you are ready to perform the test.
  • Once the person is ready to give the sample and everything is arranged, remove the test cup from the sealed pouch.
  • Now give the cup to the individual to be tested and ask him to get the sample. Also make sure that it is above the minimum level.
  • Ask him to return immediately once the specimen is collected as the results should be read within 5 minutes.
  • Once the cup is with you, remove the tear-off label and read the results.
  • The test results can be read by comparing the color of the reagent pads to the corresponding blocks on the Color Chart at the indicated time.
  • Do not read the results after 10 minutes, try to read them in 5 minutes to get accurate results.

If the sample is adulterated it results in abnormal color response and a proper, unadulterated sample will always produce normal color response.

Two colored lines each in the Test region(T) and Control region(C) indicate negative results and a single colored line in the C region indicates positive results. If there is only one line in the T region, then the test is invalid.
