Flat Panel Detectors In Digital Radiography For Dental Imaging

Digital radiography is a form of X ray imaging technique involving usage of X-ray sensors in place of photographic films. The advantages of using digital radiography include:
  • Primarily it is time efficient.
  • It is able to electronically trans and improve the quality of images.
  • It uses less radiation to produce an image of same as against ordinary radipgraph.
The two major variants of digital image capture devices:
  • Flat panel detectors (FPDs)
  • High-density line-scan solid state detectors

Flat Panel Detectors  are a class of solid state x ray digital radiography devices similar to image sensors used in digital photography and video and are further classified in two main categories:

1. Indirect FPDs: It has  aluminium-silicon (A-Si) detector with a scintillator in the detector’s outer layer, which allows conversion of  X-rays to light. Hence it is called indirect imaging device. The light is passed through a A-Si photo-diode layer where it is converted to a digital signal. The digital signal is then read out by thin transistors. The image data file is sent to a computer for display.

2. Direct FPDs: Amorphous selenium(a-se) FPDs are known as “direct” detectors because X-ray photons are converted directly into charge.  X-ray photons create electron-hole pairs in a-Se, and the transit of these electrons and holes depends on the potential of the bias voltage charge. As the holes are replaced with electrons, the resultant charge pattern in the selenium layer is read out by an active matrix array, electrometer probes.

Principle of flat panel detectors:
The working principle for flat panel detectors include the passage of X rays through the subject used for imaging and go strike the detector. Due to the differences in the  focusing x-rays, the sensors have exactly the same size as the image they capture.  millions of 0.2mm pixels each  with a thin film transistor forming a grid pattern behind the scintillator as a layer on the glass substrate, each pixel contains a photo-diode which generates an electrical signal in proportion to the light produced which are used to produce accurate and sensitive digital representation of the x-ray image.

Radiological examinations in dental
  • In intraoral examination the film or sensor is placed in the mouth focusing  the oralmaxillofacial  region.
  • In extraoral examination where the film or sensor is placed outside the mouth to visualize the entire oral maxillofacial region.
Benefits of flat panel detectors in digital radiography for dentistry
Digital radiography in dentistry provides the clinician with the ability to store their images on a computer. This provides two key advantages over film radiography :
  • Helps in aiding diagnostics and providing easier patient communication.
  • To communicate images electronically
  • No need of photographic films.
Hence the use of Flat-panel detectors are more sensitive and faster than film. They are lighter,  more durable, smaller in volume, more accurate, and have less image distortion than other imaging methods.

Treatment for Oral Cancer

Oral cancer is the type of head and neck cancer. It is the abnormal growth of cells in the oral cavity. Oral cancer includes lips, tongue and throat. Cancer can be treated or cured depending on the stage of cancer. The treatment methods for oral cancer includes
  • Surgery
  • Radiation therapy
  • Chemotherapy
  • Targeted drug therapy
1. Surgery
Surgery is very commonly performed for treating oral cancer. In early stage, surgery is used to cure oral cancer and in advanced stages, used to relieve from symptoms of cancer. This involves the removal of tumor from the site. Prior to the surgery general anesthesia is given to prevent discomfort to patient.

This surgery involves the removal of tissue where tumor is affected. Then a small piece of healthy tissue is removed and examined under microscope to ensure all the cancer cells are removed.

There are various types of surgeries based on the site of oral cavity gets affected.
Glossectomy involves surgery to remove tumor from the tongue.
Mhos surgery is meant to remove tumor from lips.
Mandibulotomy involves surgery on jaw bone.
These procedures are done in combination with radiation therapy to destroy tumors,  if any, left out after the surgery.

2. Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy uses high energy radiation used to destroy cancer cells. It is effective for treating small tumors where surgery is not required to cure. Radiation therapy destroys both normal and cancer cells but normal cells gets repaired by themselves.
In radiation therapy, the complete dose of radiation is break down into small segments and given in regular intervals. This gives the time to repair normal cells and also prevents discomfort to patient.

Types of radiation therapy
  • Internal radiation therapy
  • External radiation therapy
Internal radiation therapy (Brachytherapy)
This uses radio active materials to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells. After placement of these in the site x-rays are taken to ensure that they are placed in appropriate place. This is safer as other parts are less effected.

External radiation therapy
In this a beam of radiation is produced from machine from outside of the body. Advanced techniques in this are 3D-CRT and IMRT uses CT scan to locate the cancer site and delivers the radiation to the exact site from various angles.
Radio sensitizers are the drugs given to the patient before radiation therapy. This makes the cancer cells more sensitive to radiation therapy and improves the effectiveness of treatment.

3. Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is for patients who got cancer again after surgery or radiation. It is used to treat oral cancer that has spread to the other parts of the body. This therapy uses anti cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells in body. This is also called systemic therapy as it directly reaches into blood stream and inhibits the growth of cancer cells.
The drugs used in this therapy are Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil. Drugs in combination   is more effective than used alone. Chemotherapy is also used in combination with radiation and surgery in advanced stages.

These are the treatments used to treat or cure the cancer. Depending on the severity these therapies are used alone or in combination.

What is Gum Disease?

Dentist Hampstead
Swelling, tenderness and bleeding from the gums can be described as gum disease. Early stage of gum disease is called gingivitis. If left untreated, can lead to a severe stage known as periodontitis. In this article, we will discuss the stages and the causes of gum disease.

Stages of Gum Disease
Gingivitis
This is the initial stage of gum disease. Usually a mild form of inflammation, tenderness and bleeding gums is associated with gingivitis. This is caused by build up of plaque (the sticky substance that forms on the surface of the teeth). The bacteria in the plaque release toxins that irritates the gum. Lack of good oral hygiene and improper brushing and flossing is the major cause for gum disease.

Dental implants in London
If plaque remains on the teeth for more than 2-3 days, it turns into a hard substance called tartar (calculus) under the gum line. Tartar is difficult to remove by brushing and can only be cleaned by the dentist. If  tartar is left untreated and the build-up continues, and it could lead to advanced stage of gum disease called as periodontitis.

Symptoms
  • Tender or painful gums
  • Red swollen gums
  • Bleeding after brushing or flossing

Cosmetic dentist London
Periodontitis
If gingivitis is not treated in its early stage, it starts damaging tissues of the gums and the bone that supports teeth. This can lead to loosening and shifting of teeth. In some severe conditions, teeth may even start falling out. Often gum disease at this stage cannot be treated and may require removal of the teeth.

Symptoms
  • Bad breath (halitosis)
  • Bad taste in the mouth
  • Loose teeth
  • Gums pull out from the teeth (receding gums)
  • Space appearing or deep pockets forming in between the teeth.

Causes of gum disease
Following are the main causes of gum disease:
  • Improper brushing: This is the main cause of gum disease. Brushing regularly is not only important but also the proper technique of brushing, and the toothbrush you use make a lot of difference.
  • Poor flossing: Brushing removes much of the plaque and flossing will do the rest. Cleaning   your mouth is incomplete without flossing your teeth. Flossing remove tiny leftover food particles stuck in between the teeth where your toothbrush can't reach, thus help prevent plaque build up which is the major cause of gum disease.
  • Crunching and grinding teeth: Many people have the habit of crunching and grinding teeth that can put your teeth into most of the trouble. Crunching ice can fracture teeth because of its hardness and its cold temperature. It can even cause cracks (visible through microscope). Cracked or fractured teeth can lead to a number of dental problems.
Many people have the habit of teeth grinding during sleep. Teeth grinding on regular basis can damage your teeth leading to complicated dental problems over time.

Dental Implant Procedure

Dental implants are the permanent solution for the people with missing teeth. A small metallic screw is inserted in the jawbone surgically. Unlike dentures, dental implants are fixed and gives you more natural feel and look. This article contains systematic guidance to dental implant procedure, which will help you in giving an idea about what to expect during the surgery.

Steps in Dental Implant Procedure

Step 1: Evaluation/Examination
Dental implant procedure involves thorough examination to see whether you are the candidate for this procedure. Patients with healthy jawbone and good overall health are the candidates for dental implants. Dental implants are not for the people who are chain smokers, who have immune disease like diabetes and hypertension. Dental professional will ask you to undergo certain examinations and X-rays for determining whether you are a suitable candidate or not for getting dental implants.

Step 2: Placing dental implants
The next step in dental implant surgery is placing of dental implants. After making your mouth numb, an incision in the gums is made by the surgeon for exposing the jawbone. Then a hole is made in your jawbone (an area where tooth is missing) with the help of a drill. A thin titanium screw/rod is placed which will be acting as a tooth root. A few months after placement of this, screw is required for it to fuse with jawbone. This implant is remained hidden under the gums during this period.
You will be feeling some pain after this procedure. Often the pain is mild, but still the discomfort level depends on the person.

Step 3: Replacing protective screw with metal healing cap
After the implants have fused with the jawbone, your surgeon after giving anesthesia will make an incision again at the same place where implants were placed in order to expose them. Then the protective screw in the implant is removed and replaced by metal healing cap. This cap appears like a small metal cylinder that will sit above the gum on the implant.

Step 4: Placing Dental Crowns
The final step of dental implant procedure are implant restoration or placing of dental crown. 2 – 3 weeks after surgery follows the process of dental crown. The surgeon will determine whether the titanium implants are properly fused or not. If fused properly, the dental crown will be fixed on the top of the implant.

Dental implant procedure is useful for those who want to replace their teeth to improve cosmetic appeal and better personality.

The word yoga first appears in the Upanishads, a set of text books on philosophy of the scriptures- the Vedas. The Upanishads define yoga as a way to control mind, body and one that helps cause overall well-being. In the early civilization of India, yoga was considered a spiritual practice while praising gods. But practicing yoga ended up in exercises for many people around the globe due to its benefits. This article explains how yoga underwent changes since the stone age to modern age.

For easy understanding, evolution of yoga might be divided into four periods:

The Rig vedic period
Artifacts found in India reveal that yoga was in practice since 3000 B.C. The Rig Veda mentions the oldest yoga techniques to excel limitations of brain and it was an intensive spiritual practice. During this period, yoga was dedicated to life in harmony.

The pre-classical period
During this period, development of yoga techniques were found in another set of books of the Upanishads. For the first time, the word yoga occurs in the Upanishads. The Upanishads present yoga as a path to control the senses, which leads to the supreme state of mind.

The pre-classical age provides evidence of yoga practiced in Buddhism and Jainism. From the available evidences, it was found that during sixth century B.C., Buddha stressed meditation and yoga postures in his disciples.

The classical period
This period was marked by standardization of principles of yoga. Sage Patanjali (second century B. C.) of India in his Yoga Sutras explains the rules of yoga. Patanjali is considered the “father of yoga” for his contribution to the cause of making the principles. Patanjali's yogic postures are widely popular even today.

Patanjali explains eight principles of yoga, namely yama (control), asana (posture), niyama (rules), pratyahara (sensory withdrawal in preparation for meditation), dharana (concentration), pranayama (breathing), dhyana (meditation), samadhi (consciousness). Patanjali believes that these eight paths could help one separate body and spirit to cleanse himself.

The post-classical period
The post-classical period opened with creation of new yoga teaching techniques. These techniques help improve physical health. Experts of this period have developed tantra yoga to cleanse body and mind, which led to the development of hatha yoga as we know it today. Hatha yoga is a path to discipline, posture, gesture, breathing, etc. It is considered a stress reducing yoga practice.

Yoga has evolved over centuries. Today, in its certain form, yoga is practiced at high atmospheric temperature maintained artificially. Such yoga is said to bring in certain benefits. Likewise, in the years to come, some other forms might develop. All this is because of the changing needs of people - physical, mental and spiritual.
