what is PDS in dentistry?
469812
PDS, I think in this case (based upon you saying something about splints) stands for Pain dysfunction syndrome.(PDS) it is the most common TMD (temporomandibular disorder, from the joint between the lower jaw and base of the skull).

I think you may have mistaken the terms. Probate is the means for transferring assets upon death. More likely, what you are talking about is a probationary suspension. I am a lawyer, not a dentist, but I would guess that the dental practitioner in question had his or her dental license suspended for some professional infraction. Perhaps the individual is being allowed to still practice while on probation. Perhaps the license will be re-instated when the probation is served and in the meantime, the dentist is not allowed to practice.\n\nHope this helps.

HSV1 (HHV1) and HSV2 (HHV2) are neurotrophic alpha-herpesviruses that only naturally occur in humans. There are no animal reservoirs. \nHSV1 and HSV2 are of direct relevance to the practice of dentistry as: \nAppropriate Cross Infection practices will prevent unnecessary spread of HSV infections in the dental surgery. \nThe dentist is usually the first health care professional to be consulted when a patient has symptomatic oro-facial HSV infection: \nPrimary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis. \nReactivation lesions: \nCold Sores. \nReactivation of oral HSV. \nIt is essential that you are confident in the diagnosis and management of HSV infections: \nIncluding appropriate use of drugs included in the Dental Practitioners Formulary

Absolutely nothing.  It just depends on the state in which the dentist went to dental school.  Some states give the title D.D.S. which is Doctor of Dental Science.  Some states give the title of D.M.D. which is Doctor of Dental Medicine.

I don't know of any websites, but I can tell you about my experience working with dentists and dental labs.\nThe dr.'s want efficiency. They want you to answer their questions quickly and kindly when they call. They want you to know what you are talking about and to correct any problems they may be having. They are generally too busy to fool around. And there's almost always patients calling to ask when such and such is going to be ready. They just want to product to be there and be done correctly.I think as long as you do those things, they will keep using your lab. Oh, and the quality of the lab's work has to be very good, too!!

Sensodyne toothpaste decreases sensitivity.\nThrough improper tooth brushing and gum/periodontal diseases, the gum tissue recedes and exposes dentin. Dentin is very porous and has channel like pathways called dental tubules that go directly to the nerve. So when areas like those are exposed it creates very sensitive areas to cold, sweets, ect. The active ingredient potassium nitrate builds up a protective coating thus decreasing sensitivity.

The DDS is a professional degree and indicates that the person holding the degree has completed training in that profession.  It is equivalent to an MD, except it applies to the field of dentistry.  I suppose it is roughly equivalent to a PhD, however research (including a master's degree) and professional degrees differ in the way that candidates are trained, so they're not comparable (I say this from experience)

What do you need to know?  It's the most used bur in the crown preparation set-up.  They are also known as beveled cylinder burs or curettage (also K-series) burs.\n\nI would like to congratulate you for realizing that they are not teaching you even the most basic information in your dental school.  Perhaps YOU are one of the ones who will be treating Americans who are think it's a good idea to go abroad for dental care.

Well, of course there are the subjects related specifically to the dental field such as general dentistry, periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics & pediatric dentistry.  There are classes dealing with geriatrics, esthetics, implants, radiology, pharmacology, implants, ethics & practice management.  Classes are also taken in microbiology, gross anatomy, general pathology, oral pathology, oral biology, histology and biochemistry.  This is just a quick summary... there are many more classes that are taken.

Dentistry is good. I'm not sure how it is in the States, but here you can (and must) practice dentistry with only an undergraduate degree. You will not be accepted into a doctorate degree without at least 8 years' clinical experience, if memory serves me correctly.\n\nBut you do have to ask yourself if you want to spend the rest of your professional life staring into people's mouths, especially when many of them will have bad breath and a lot of them will only have come to you because they have a problem and haven't had a checkup in years.

For years dentists have known the benefits of disclosing tablets. What are they? Disclosing tablets contain a harmless colored dye that is attracted to the plaque on your teeth. Their use is simple. Take a tablet, chew it up and swish the accumulated saliva in your mouth for 60 seconds, spit and rinse. Now the disclosing tablet dye has colored the plaque on your teeth allowing you to easily see areas that need special attention
