They most commonly occur between central incisors, premolar area, and in the third molar regions and can result in delayed eruption or malpositioning of permanent teeth and general crowding. In this episode of ‘Hints & Tips in Dentistry’, we discuss current approaches for diagnose and treatment with minimally invasive techniques.

When it comes to health of natural teeth or dental implants, gum tissue plays a very important role. Gingival architecture and health directly promotes aesthetics and our smile as well as protects the bone and teeth. But what does exactly a healthy gum tissue mean? And what are characteristics of a healthy gum tissue. What are attached and unattached gingiva? What are its biotypes? And what are characteristics of a healthy gum tissue. In this episode, Dr. H.

In this episode of Hints and Tips in Dentistry, Dr. H. Ryan Kazemi describes what reverse torque technique for dental implant removal is and how it works.

In part 2 of our episodes on Non-Invasive Reverse Torque Removal of Dental Implants, we address the 5 most common questions asked about dental implant removal.
