Dentist in South Pasadena Continues Dental Education For Improved Care

Dr. John Chu, South Pasadena dentist, continues his dental education through mini dental implant courses.

2012-06-22

SOUTH PASADENA, CA, June 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) Dr. John Chu, dentist in South Pasadena, continues educational courses to stay on top of the cutting edge advancements in dentistry. The pursuit of lifelong learning - whether to enrich lives, follow a new dream, or simply challenge them, ongoing training in dentistry is more important than ever before.

Dental continuing education is essential for anyone working within the dental field. As in the medical field, technological advances in the field come at a rapid-fire pace, and staying abreast of the latest research, tools and treatment methods is crucial, such as new advancements for implants in South Pasadena.

"I am happy to continue to complete continuing education courses every year, with my recent focus being mini dental implants for replacing missing teeth in narrow spaces. These courses allow me to have access to the latest diagnostic, preventative and treatment methods, which helps me to provide my patients with the best care available," said Dr. John Chu, South Pasadena dentist.

Mini dental implants are simple, and gentle, and are used for placement within narrow spaces. For the best results, mini dental implants may be used for small teeth and incisors. Additionally, mini dental implants may be best for patients who require stabilization of lower jaw dentures, pre-molar teeth, or a missing tooth that was located in a narrow area.

Mini dental implants are approximately half the width of traditional South Pasadena implants and are not fully submerged. If implant failure occurs, the small size of the area means grafting is not necessary. The procedure for mini implants is a much less invasive procedure than conventional dental implants. For this reason, Dr. Chu, cosmetic dentist in South Pasadena, can typically complete the procedure in one, easy visit.

For more information on mini dental implants, patients are encouraged to visit the practice's website at http://www.johnchudmd.com, or by calling the office at (626) 799-0852. Dr. John Chu looks forward to utilizing mini dental implants in the successful restoration of a patient who has missing teeth.

Remote Siberian lake holds clues to Arctic -- and Antarctic -- climate change

2012-06-22

Intense warm climate intervals--warmer than scientists thought possible--have occurred in the Arctic over the past 2.8 million years. That result comes from the first analyses of the longest sediment cores ever retrieved on land. They were obtained from beneath remote, ice-covered Lake El'gygytgyn (pronounced El'gee-git-gin) ("Lake E") in the northeastern Russian Arctic. The journal Science published the findings this week. They show that the extreme warm periods in the Arctic correspond closely with times when parts of Antarctica were also ice-free and warm, suggesting ...

New evidence in fructose debate: Could it be healthy for us?

2012-06-22

TORONTO, Ont. June 21, 2012—A new study by researchers at St. Michael's Hospital suggests that fructose may not be as bad for us as previously thought and that it may even provide some benefit. "Over the last decade, there have been connections made between fructose intake and rates of obesity," said Dr. John Sievenpiper, a senior author of the study. "However, this research suggests that the problem is likely one of overconsumption, not fructose." The study reviewed 18 trials with 209 participants who had Type 1 and 2 diabetes and found fructose significantly improved ...

Accidental Drowning of the Elderly

2012-06-22

Simply because someone lives in an assisted living facility does not mean they give up on some form of exercise. For many of these elderly individuals, swimming was a part of their life when they were young, so why shouldn't they continue to swim? After all, it's one of the best forms of exercise you can do. Unfortunately, there are reports of accidental drowning cases at these assisted living facilities that should not have happened. While there are many activities elderly people can do on their own, supervision should always be on the safe side at assisted living facilities. ...

Versatility of zebrafish research highlighted at international conference

MADISON, WI – June 21, 2012 -- It's clear where the black-and-white striped zebrafish got its name, but less obvious at first glance is what zebrafish has to do with biomedical research.

The variety of presentations at the 2012 International Zebrafish Development and Genetics Conference, held June 20-24 in Madison, Wisconsin, showcase the breadth of ...
