Role of radioactive dental materials in causing oral cancer Zirconia-based ceramics are increasingly being used in dental prosthesis. The bio compatibility of dental materials gives the reason to replace metal cores, which are known to cause local toxic reactions and delayed allergic reactions in oral tissues.   However, some people are concerned about the usage of zirconia because the physical properties of dental material are known to contain non-negligible quantities of natural radionuclides in the U/Th series. On zirconia samples utilised for dental applications, combined alpha and gamma spectrometry studies as well as beta dosimetry were performed. Samples were offered in powder and/or solid block form. The findings revealed that the beta dose rate in zirconia ceramics was only slightly greater than in natural teeth on average, and was generally lower than in feldspathic and glass ceramics. Because of the comparatively high quantities of 40K (between 2 and 3 kBqkg-1) in t...

What to Do If You Have a Zirconia Crown Failure Zirconia crowns have become increasingly fashionable in the last decade. Patients today prefer zirconia crowns to metal-based crowns because zirconia crown properties include strength as well as lifelike aesthetics.   Furthermore, zirconia is an exceptionally robust metal that can resist long periods of severe biting and grinding. Zirconia restorations can last a patient's entire life if properly cared for. Because zirconia crowns are new, many dentists are hesitant to utilise them or learn how to correctly implant them in their patients' mouths. This lack of experience can sometimes result in crowns that are ill-fitting leading to zirconia crown failure. Dental crown problems should not be overlooked. Any issues with dental crowns must be handled immediately to ensure your patient's safety. Because zirconia crowns are designed to help seal and protect your patient's teeth from additional damage, it is critical that you un...

  What is the link between Root canal treatment and Mouth Cancer? This is a wrong statement. Cancer is not caused by root canal operations. This myth stems from false statements that 97 percent of persons with terminal cancer had root canal surgery, implying a relationship between dental operations and cancer development. Since the 1920s, there has been a widespread belief that root canals are a major source of cancer and other serious disorders. This misconception is now widely disseminated on the internet. It arose from the work of Weston Price, a dentist in the early twentieth century who conducted a series of inaccurate and poorly conceived tests. Based on his personal studies, Price concluded that dead teeth that had undergone root canal therapy still harbored extremely dangerous poisons. Toxins, he claims, serve as a breeding environment for cancer, arthritis, heart disease, and other diseases. What exactly are root canals? A root canal is a type of dental crown procedure t...
