FLINT, MI, May 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) Leading dentist in Flushing and Flint, MI, Dr. Scott Pelok, is pleased to introduce the practice's newest piece of dental technology- the Galileos 3D cone beam scanner. The new dental diagnostic system is helping the practice continue to bring patients the most efficient, comfortable and effective dentistry possible.
The new Galileos 3D diagnostic system allows Dr. Pelok and his team to create a precise 3D image of a patient's entire jaw in a matter of seconds- in significantly less time than traditional x-rays. The Galileos advanced technology allows patients to be in and out of the office quickly while allowing Dr. Pelok, Flushing dentist, to diagnose problems more accurately and efficiently.
"We want our patients to receive the best dental care possible, that is why we have invested in the latest technology for dental diagnostics - the Galileos 3D dental cone beam. This new system allows me to provide my patients with the best care possible due to increased diagnostics and visualization of treatment areas," said Dr. Scott Pelok, Flint dentist.
Use of the Galileos 3D cone beam allows Dr. Pelok, Flushing dental implant dentist, to properly diagnose and treat his patients to the best accuracy possible. With the Galileos system, patients will experience the lowest radiation possible, quick, easy and comfortable scan of the mouth, face and jaw, immediate virtual diagnosis and treatment planing in one visit, more security and less time during surgery, and easy sharing of images with referring doctors.
Beyond traditional diagnostics and treatment capabilities, the Galileos system calculates a large volume 3D image set, more than 200 exposures, in a single low-dose 3D scan of 15 seconds or less. Galileos not only shows 3D displays in perfect image quality, but also enables clear navigation and diagnosis in the traditional panoramic, cephalometric and cross-sectional displays.
In addition to pursuing technology developments, Dr. Pelok's educational practice website is a valuable tool that patients can use to communicate with the practice, learn about various dental treatments and conditions and access information about the office. Patients can even conveniently request an appointment online, and new patients can download new patient forms in advance of their first visit. From sleep dentistry to treatment of missing teeth with dental implants in Flushing, Dr. Scott Pelok and his professional staff are highly qualified to handle any dental need for patients of every age.
With a strong commitment to enhancing the patient experience, this Flushing, MI dentist has established his practice as a leader in dentistry throughout the Flint and Flushing, MI area. Dr. Pelok's new dental technology further demonstrates the practice's commitment to staying abreast of the latest dental innovations.

Finnish researchers identified the cause for LGL leukemia
2012-05-17
LGL leukemia is a relatively rare, malignant blood disease of the mature T-cells and, in many cases, it is related to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The pathogenetic mechanism of the disease has been unknown and it has previously been unclear if the disease is an overreaction of the normal defense system or a malignant hematological disease.
One of the key symptoms of LGL disease is a low count of white blood cells (neutrophils), which may predispose the patients to life-threatening infections.
It was discovered that patients suffering from LGL leukemia ...
Don't dodge the difficult conversation, says new report
2012-05-17
Palliative care for cancer patients in the UK is well established – but the situation is starkly different for those suffering from heart failure. A recent service evaluation led by the University of Hull and Hull York Medical School (HYMS) shows this doesn't have to be the case – particularly if clinicians have the courage to talk about death with their patients.
The study – published today (May 17) in the British Journal of Cardiology – describes data from two areas in Yorkshire where palliative care and heart failure services are fully integrated – Bradford & Airedale ...
