The E-Z Bond Retainer is a multi-strand, dead-soft wire that is carefully contoured to the lingual of the six anterior teeth

The E-Z Bond Retainer is a multi-strand, dead-soft wire that is carefully contoured to the lingual of the six anterior teeth -- and is light-cured (with composite) to each of the six anterior teeth. The key advantage to this appliance is the laboratory-fabricated transfer tray that makes correct placement of the wire easy -- and with a minimum of chair time. The transfer tray has small reservoirs at each bonding site, with an excess-material escape channel directly lingual to each of the anterior teeth. This assures a complete wrap of bonding cement around the lingual wire.

Benefits and Uses for custom-fit, Removable Occlusal Splints

Occlusal splints are custom-fit, removable devices crafted from durable acrylic. Designed to fit over the biting surfaces of the upper or lower teeth, their primary aim is to establish a precise bite alignment with the opposing teeth. As versatile tools in dental care, these splints serve several critical functions:

  • break up doodling patterns and cover any facets of wear
  • protect the teeth from abnormal forces that may create a tooth fracture or breakage of restorations
  • protect the bony and soft tissue supportive structures against abnormal forces that would cause their breakdown
  • introduce an optimum occlusal position
  • deprogram the musculature and reorganize neuromuscular reflex activity
  • encourage normal muscle function
  • alleviate any occlusal stresses to the posterior teeth by providing anterior guidance
  • establish a new vertical relationship
  • alleviate occlusal stresses to the anterior teeth by controlling the vertical dimension
  • provide the teeth with protection from diurnal and nocturnal bruxism
  • provide a core stable or functional join position

THE GATEWAY TO ORAL HEALTH: Protecting the Heart at The Source of Harm

It’s a fact: those suffering from gum disease are two to three times more susceptible to heart attack, stroke or other serious cardiovascular event – most commonly heart disease and atherosclerosis. And, of course, the operative word in all arterial infections - in fact all systemic infection - is “inflammation.”

Inflammation is frequently the result of oral bacteria entering the blood stream via the “gateway” of the mouth and gums. Once in the bloodstream the bacteria combine with fat deposits to create plaque and restrict blood flow. Restricted blood flow and a compromised immune system can lead to clots, which obstruct the arterial pathway, weaken your body’s resistance to harm, and trigger all of the aforementioned events.

THE GATEWAY TO ORAL HEALTH: Brain Matters – Fighting the Scourge of Alzheimer’s Disease

A connection between gum disease and Alzheimer’s Disease? Yes. Bacteria associated with AD (F. nucleatum – also linked to conditions ranging from colorectal cancer to premature delivery of babies.) -- have been isolated in the periodontal pockets and along the nerves extending from teeth to tissues in the brain. When these bacteria are introduced into brain cultures, an abnormal proliferation of immune (microglial) cells results. The over-abundance of immune cells triggers chronic inflammation which appears to be the key determinant in the pOraKlenz Gelrogressive cognitive decline that occurs during Alzheimer’s disease

Translational research is currently being aimed at blocking the gateway between periodontal disease and not only Alzheimer’s but a host of other diseases linked directly to chronic inflammation, like Type-2 diabetes, heart disease and COPD. 

The OraKlenz Oral Care System has been designed in response to this revealing connection.

THE GATEWAY TO ORAL HEALTH: Helping the Respiratory-at-Risk Breathe Easier

Entrenched as we are today in the prevalence of COVID-19 and its disturbingly relentless resurgences, it behooves us to consider the viral gateway that has made such devastation possible. Accumulating evidence over the past decade has suggested that oral disorders, particularly periodontal disease may indeed influence the course of respiratory infections.

The gateway? Inflammation creates bacterial plaque which can be aspirated into the lungs where colonization and infection result in airway compromise, increased immunological susceptibility, and full-on obstructive pulmonary infection.

Consequently, eliminating gum disease from this picture could prove to be of significant benefit to countless individuals at risk for COVID-19, COPD, RSV, Pneumonia, et.al.

So much for the problem. Now let’s talk about a way to address respiratory vulnerability at the source: The OraKlenz Oral Care System.  
 

Integrated into a patient’s regular hygiene regimen, the OraKlenz Oral Care System – via the application of patented OraKlenz trays and gel - will measurably eliminate gum disease in a few weeks…while continuing to provide optimum oral and systemic gateway protection when used as part of a regular dentist-prescribed treatment program.
