- Intraoral imaging in a nutshell. Intraoral imaging is the most common X-ray diagnostic method in dentistry. The term intraoral comes from the image receptor being inside (intra) the patient’s mouth (oral). Both the X-ray source and the receptor are stationary during the exposure. Intraoral imaging is used for a variety of different tasks such as diagnosing caries, endodontic file location, inflammation of the teeth, etc.

Dental seditive filling? Good luck! Sedative Fillings Sedative fillings are placed on a tooth to reduce pain from irritated or inflamed pulp — the blood vessels and nerves in the center of a tooth. A sedative filling calms the pulp and reduces the chance that saliva or bacteria will leak into the tooth and irritate the pulp in the future. Sedative fillings often are placed directly into the tooth without any drilling. One of the most common types of sedative filling is zinc oxide and eugenol. This contains oil of cloves. Glass ionomers or resin/glass ionomers also are used for this type of filling.

- An ideal intraoral digital system should have good spatial resolution, good contrast detail detectability, and a good dose-response curve over a wide range of exposures. This study shows that the various intraoral digital systems that come into the market vary markedly from one another in these properties.here was no difference in the overall low-contrast perception, and optimal exposure was 0.95 mGy for all 3 systems. The XDR sensor and the system with updated software both had a highest SR of 13 lp/mm compared with the XDR Sensor with a fiberoptic faceplate, which had an SR of 12 lp/mm.

Intraocular lens Intraocular lens. Intraocular lens (IOL) is a lens implanted in the eye used to treat cataracts or myopia. The most common type of IOL is the pseudophakic IOL. These are implanted during cataract surgery, after the cloudy crystalline lens (otherwise known as a cataract) has been removed. The pseudophakic IOL replaces the original crystalline lens, and provides the light focusing function originally undertaken by the crystalline lens.

What is the tear film? The tear film consists of three layers: An oily layer. A watery layer. A layer of mucus. Each layer has its own purpose. The oily layer, produced by the meibomian glands, forms the outermost surface of the tear film. Its main purpose is to smooth the tear surface and reduce evaporation of tears. The middle watery layer makes up most of what we ordinarily think of as tears.

Intraocular Lens Implant (IOL) What is an IOL? An intraocular lens implant is a synthetic, artificial lens placed inside the eye that replaces the focusing power of a natural lens that is surgically removed, usually as part of cataract surgery [See figures 1 and 2]. When the natural lens is removed, much of the eye's focusing ability is lost. To restore vision, lost focusing power is usually replaced by one of three methods. The first method is the use of glasses (spectacles). The required lens power is high and the corrective lens quite thick.
