In 2021, the coronavirus pandemic is still a major human problem. New strains appear, people continue to get sick. The state takes measures to protect citizens. One of these measures was universal vaccination against Covid-19.

The impact of the coronavirus on the systems and organs of the human body has not yet been fully studied. Scientists and medics, of course, put forward various theories, but it will take years of study to confirm them.

The same is true for the vaccine.

Our patients ask a lot of questions related to dental treatment during the pandemic: whether it is possible to come to the clinic with mild symptoms of acute respiratory viral infections, whether it is possible to start implantation after vaccination against covid-19, how the coronavirus will affect rehabilitation after dental surgeries, and much more.

In this article, with the help of an experienced implant surgeon of our clinic, Nesterenko Alexey Pav…

Implantation is a method of restoring a tooth row in which an artificial support, an implant, is implanted in place of a lost root. Thanks to the body's ability to reproduce bone tissue, the phenomenon of osseointegration occurs, the titanium post grows bone.

This surgical intervention, like any surgery, causes fear and apprehension. Clinics have often started to use implantation under anesthesia. Unfortunately, this procedure is presented as a treatment in a dream, without any consequences. Is this the case?

For a long time, all implant surgeries were performed under local anesthesia. These days, more and more clinics prefer to perform dental implants in your sleep. This is very convenient for the doctor, creates ideal conditions for work. Advertising claims that it is convenient for the patient: you fall asleep without teeth, and wake up with a dazzling smile. But any medical manipulation must have a jus…

If you, like 98% of the world's population, are afraid of visits to the dentist, tooth extraction under anesthesia is an easy way to perform the procedure. You fall asleep, wake up, and the tooth is gone. But is it that easy, and most importantly, is it safe?

There are different degrees of medically controlled consciousness:

Most people associate going to the dentist with fear and stress. And if it is a child, the whole family is afraid of the visit. That's why dental clinics' promises about dental treatment under anesthesia for children, without pain, in their sleep sound like a balm. What is meant by "treatment without pain" and is it as safe as we are told?

Sedation is the inhibition (depression) of the nervous system in order to relax and reduce anxiety. It does not preclude the use of local anesthesia, but simply helps you overcome your fear of treatment. This is the main difference between pediatric dental treatment under sedation and the use of anesthesia.

But the word "sedation" did not catch on, and gradually even dentists began to use expressions such as "treatment of children's teeth under anesthesia" to be understood by a wide audience. In this case, it is more often meant not general anesthesia, but sedation, a state in which consciousness is depressed wi…

There are few people in the world who are not afraid of going to the dentist. Against the background of such a widespread phobia, there are more and more calls to undergo treatment under sedation, without pain. What is it and is this method as safe as they say it is?

Dental treatment under anesthesia in adults is carried out in rare cases, more often in hospitals. Sedation, on the other hand, is more common. This method causes inhibition of the nervous system to reduce panic and stress during the procedure. There is contact with the doctor, the patient is able to respond to stimuli. With this method of anesthesia, the patient breathes on his own, all his reflexes are preserved. This is the main difference between sedation and anesthesia, in which the degree of inhibition reaches such a level that consciousness is cut off, reflexes are not preserved, the patient does not respond to physical and verbal stimuli. The main goal of anesthesia is to immerse t…

If you've ever had an MRI, you know that they ask you to remove all metal objects before the exams. Rings and earrings are easy. But is it possible to do MRI with dental implants? After all, they cannot be removed for the duration of the procedure.

The principle of operation of the magnetic resonance tomograph is to create its own magnetic field, in which the patient is located. Hydrogen atoms in the patient's body resonate with the magnetic field and the result is recorded as a series of images. These are virtual slices of organs and tissues that help to make an accurate diagnosis.

Doctors are asked to leave metal objects out of the room with the CT scanner so that no metal or alloy that can magnetize accidentally enters the magnetic field. All substances are divided into:
