Cosmetic Dentist in West Orange Offers Advanced Dental Treatment with Laser Dentistry

Dr. Ivan Stein provides patients in Livingston, Short Hills and West Orange with advanced dental treatment through laser dentistry.

2011-09-01

WEST ORANGE, NJ, September 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) New Jersey top dentist, Dr. Ivan Stein of Northfield Dental Group, is treating patients with more precision and efficiency with recent advancements in dental technology. New laser devices enable Dr. Stein to provide the best possible care in his Livingston office.

Laser dentistry is a form of dentistry that allows for the treatment of highly specific areas by laser without damaging the surrounding tissues. For years lasers have been used in dentistry to treat a number of dental problems and they continue to improve and grow in popularity.

"The use of lasers allows me to perform procedures quicker, more effectively and more comfortably than ever before. This makes treatment time shorter and allows me to make my patients comfortable while they are receiving treatment. From routine cleanings to more advanced procedures such as root canal therapy, I can successfully treat my patients and provide them with a more relaxed dental experience," said Dr. Ivan Stein, cosmetic dentist in Livingston and West Orange.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of a variety of hard and soft tissue lasers for use in the dental treatments of adults and children. Hard tissue lasers have a wavelength that is highly absorbable by hydroxyapatite and water, which makes them more effective for cutting through tooth structure. The primary use of hard tissue lasers is to cut unto bone and teeth with extreme precision. They are often used in prepping or shaping the teeth for composite bonding, the removal of small amounts of tooth structure and the repair of certain worn down dental fillings.

Soft tissue lasers consist of a wavelength that is absorbable by water and hemoglobin, which is oxygenating protein in red blood cells. This makes soft tissue lasers more effective for soft tissue management. Soft tissue lasers penetrate the soft tissue while sealing blood vessels and nerve endings. This is the primary reason why many people experience virtually no post-operative pain following the use of a laser and allow the tissues to heal faster.

From routine cleanings to cosmetic fillings in Livingston patients turn to Dr. Ivan Stein for the most up-to-date procedures and treatments. Laser dentistry represents an innovative and more precise technology for specific hard and soft tissue procedures, further proving Dr. Stein's commitment to providing patients with a more relaxed dental experience.

A high-tech propulsion system for the next 100 years

2011-09-01

One of the most efficient means of transporting freight is by ship. However, many of the ships sailing today are powered by ageing diesel motors fitted with neither exhaust cleaning equipment nor or modern control systems. Three years ago the University of Birmingham initiated an ambitious trial, converting an old canal barge to use hydrogen fuel. The old diesel motor, drive system and fuel tank were removed and replaced with a high efficiency electric motor, a battery pack for short-term energy supply and a fuel cell with a hydrogen storage system to charge the batteries. ...

Mobile phone data in Haiti improves emergency aid

2011-09-01

Population movements in the wake of disasters make it difficult to deliver the right amount of humanitarian aid to the right places. During the earthquake and ensuing cholera epidemic in Haiti, researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, and Columbia University, USA, developed a new method for solving this problem – they monitored the continual movements of two million anonymous mobile phones and reported directly to the humanitarian relief organisations on the ground. The method, which is now presented in the scientific journal PLoS Medicine, may have a major impact ...

Stressed dad = depressed children? Investigating the paternal transmission of stress

2011-09-01

Philadelphia, PA, August 31, 2011 - Does Dad's stress affect his unborn children? According to the results of a new study in Elsevier's Biological Psychiatry, it seems the answer may be "yes, but it's complicated". The risk of developing depression, which is significantly increased by exposure to chronic stress, is influenced by both environment and genetics. The interplay of these two factors is quite complex, but in fact, there is even a third factor that most of us know nothing about – epigenetics. Epigenetics is the science of changes in genetic expression that are ...

Farming commercial miscanthus

2011-09-01

An article in the current issue of Global Change Biology Bioenergy examines the carbon sequestration potential of Miscanthus plantations on commercial farms. Researchers evaluated Miscanthus plantations in Ireland, where planting has been subsidized by the government. Carbon sequestration is expected to vary among different farming practices and soil characteristics. They found significant soil carbon sequestration under Miscanthus on both former tilled land and former grasslands after only two years of planting with little evidence that its introduction contributes to ...

'Gene overdose' causes extreme thinness

2011-09-01

Scientists have discovered a genetic cause of extreme thinness for the first time, in a study published today in the journal Nature. The research shows that people with extra copies of certain genes are much more likely to be very skinny. In one in 2000 people, part of chromosome 16 is duplicated, making men 23 times and women five times more likely to be underweight. Each person normally has a copy of each chromosome from each parent, so we have two copies of each gene. But sometimes sections of a chromosome can be duplicated or deleted, resulting in an abnormal 'dosage' ...
