Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is an exciting and challenging specialty of Dentistry that combines dental, medical, and surgical knowledge and skills. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the specialty of Dentistry that concentrates on the diagnosis and surgical management of oral and maxillofacial pathologic conditions, including epithelial diseases and mesenchymal disorders of soft and hard tissues.

Endodontics is the Branch of dentistry, concerned with the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, and in particular the dental pulp, root and peri-radicular tissues. The study and practice of endodontics includes the biology of the normal pulp, crown, root and peri-radicular tissues and the etiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries that affect these tissues. Root canal therapy is one of the common procedures followed in endodontic treatments. Also includes treatment of cracked teeth and dental trauma. Endodontic treatment is done to save the teeth from diseased dental pulp. Regenerative endodontics uses the concept of tissue engineering to restore the root canals to a healthy state.

Orthodontics is a branch of “dentistry” that specializes in treating patients with improper positioning of teeth when the mouth is closed (malocclusion), which results in an improper bite. Orthodontics also includes treating and controlling various aspects of facial growth(dentofacial orthopedics) and the shape and development of the jaw. An orthodontics specialist is called an orthodontist.

Orthodontists uses a range of medical dental devices, including headgears, plates, braces, Implants, Cleft and Palate etc and use the recent advances in orthodontics like invisalign techniques

Ethics affect virtually every decision made in a dental office, encompassing activities of both judging and choosing. Ethics affect relationships with patients, the public, office staff, and other professionals. Without a solid ethical foundation, you simply cannot be a true professional. The dentist must be aware of patients’ legitimate needs for prescription drugs. 

Gingivectomy is the removal of gum tissue (gingiva) by surgery. These dentists specialize in treating gums and the other structures that support teeth. Osseous surgery is a type of surgery that reshapes the bone that holds one or more teeth in place. Osseous surgery reshapes the bone to get rid of the defects. Gingival flap surgery is a type of gum procedure. The gums are separated from the teeth and folded back temporarily. This allows a dentist to reach the root of the tooth and the bone.

Nursing is a profession of the health care sector attentive on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, conserve or recover excellent health and quality of life. A Dental Nurse supports the dentist in all aspects of patients’ dental care. As a dental nurse, you may help with reception work and could help any member of the dental team clinical and dental technicians/technologists, hygienists and therapists – treat patients of all ages. Some specialised for a check-up while others will have more complicated treatment. You’ll need to reassure people and put them at calm, while supporting the team in all aspects of patient health or care

In a dental practice you will welcome patients and provide direct backing with the treatment itself: Taking responsibility for the decontamination of instruments, upholds dental practicing equipment ensuring that all relevant materials and supplies are in place, looking after patient records including the notes when the dentist is checking a patient, working closely with the dentist, responding quickly to queries and generally keeping the surgery ready for use.

Dental anesthesia is the specialty of dentistry that deals with the management of pain through the use of advanced local and general anesthesia techniques. Dental anesthesia is the discipline in dentistry that manages pain and anxiety through the use of local anesthesia, sedation, and general anesthesia. Dental Anesthesiology educates graduate, pre-doctoral, and dental hygiene students in the management of pain, fear, and anxiety associated with dental treatment.  Dentist anesthesiologists trained to provide the entire spectrum of anesthetic services, which generally range from local anesthesia through general anesthesia, for a wide range of dental and surgical procedures. Faculty research involving dental anesthesiology has focused on the clinical efficacy and safety of anesthetics when used in both healthy and medically-compromised patients.

Nano dentistry is said to be the future of dentistry where all procedures are to be per­formed using Nano robots that may become a replacement to the present day dental assis­tants, technicians & hygienists. The discovery of Nano dental materials such as Nano powders and Nano composites reinforced with Nano fillers are the most rapidly developing group of materials with excellent prospective for application in the field of dentistry. Nanostructured yttrium stabilized zirconium oxide ceramics is widely used for fabrication of crowns, bridges, inlays and other dental el­ements for which high strength, durability and better aesthetics are required. Some nanomaterial’s have also been developed to help with the remineralisation of the teeth after significant decay.Nanodentistry aims to manipulate and fine tune particle to create unique with novel properties and advances in dentistry. 

Cosmetic dentistry  improves the appearance of a person's teeth, gums and smile. It primarily focuses on improvement dental aesthetics in color, position, shape, size, alignment and overall smile appearance. The treatments can be used to  straighten teeth whitening, full mouth reconstruction and smile makeover.

Cosmetic treatments include crowns, bridges, fillings, dentures, dental implants, bonding, veneers and tooth whitening.

Preventive dentistry is the practice of caring for one's teeth to keep them healthy. This helps to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more. Preventive dentistry prevents people from developing dental problems later on. Cavities, gingivitis, enamel loss, and periodontitis can all be avoided or mitigated with proper dental care.

Dentistry continues to change, particularly because of the advances in clinical dentistry, materials and technology. These changes offer opportunities for both patients and dental practices alike. Now patients can benefit from the advances in Clinical dentistry and dental practices can benefit from the opportunity to move their business in a forward direction. Dental practices need to constantly look at the available options. Dentists can now offer patients advanced choices like Laser dentistry, Esthetic dentistry, Digital dentistry and Implant dentistry. I find that dentists who are taking advanced clinical courses and utilizing technology are re-energized and enjoying dentistry more than ever before.

Dentistry has seen massive improvements with respect to advancement from the traditional techniques to the digital world that has widened the scope of dental treatments and procedures. Dentists can now offer patients advanced choices like Laser “dentistry”, Esthetic “dentistry”, Digital dentistry and Implant dentistry. Digital dentistry tools and techniques used at present include the Laser applications, Dental implants and occlusal analysis, Forensic dentistry, Dental radiography/informatics, Robotic and digital dentistry and Imaging techniques for the craniofacial hard and soft tissues.

Dental sleep medicine is an area of dental practice that focuses on the use of oral appliance therapy to treat sleep-disordered breathing, including snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Approximately 25 million adults have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which can cause them to stop breathing hundreds of times a night for anywhere from a few seconds to more than a minute. Sleep apnea is a chronic condition that occurs when your muscles relax during sleep, allowing soft tissue to collapse and block the airway. As a result, repeated breathing pauses occur, which often reduce your oxygen levels. These breathing pauses are followed by brief awakenings that disturb your sleep.

Every interaction between your dental practice and a patient is a component of marketing. In some cases, this will encompass concrete details like the way your office staff answers the phone or the list of services you offer. The need for better dental marketing has increased with the public’s awareness, as well as industry need to develop better services. Because of the flood of information on the internet, average new patient is more aware and educated concerning the aesthetic options available today from a dentist. As a result, a higher quality dentist is being requested that .they have to develop a Comprehensive Marketing Strategy. Dental marketing program is not complete without comprehensive internet marketing. By now, most dental practices posses a fairly upscale website. The next key to your cosmetic dentistry marketing plan is to constantly enhance the user experience of website.

Oral microbiology is the study of the microorganisms of the oral cavity. Oral microflorae can cause dental plaques and is a common cause of dental caries and periodontal disease. It is the specialty of dentistry and pathology that deals with the nature, identification, and management of diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial regions. It is a science that investigates the causes, processes, and effects of these diseases. It is the division of dentistry which deals with the diseases of oral and Para oral structures and provides an understanding of which is essential for diagnosis and for the development of rational treatment. The practice of oral pathology includes research, diagnosis of diseases using clinical, radiographic, microscopic, biochemical, or other examinations, and management of patients. Oral pathology is a discipline that deals with the study of causation and treatment of oral diseases: diseases of the mouth, jaws and related oral structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints etc. The oral pathology can be considered a multi-disciplinary topic- a combination of dentistry and pathology.

Dentistry continues to change, particularly because of the advances in clinical dentistry, materials and technology. These changes offer opportunities for both patients and dental practices alike. Dental education provides the most current information available on a wide variety of topics using traditional teaching methods, from new techniques, materials and technology to innovative practice solutions. Today, there is no reason for anyone in dentistry to complain about being bored, unproductive or at a plateau. Dental Training Provides an interesting insight into the treatments that students consider to be 'specialist' in nature, identifies students  interests in respect of further training and potential barriers to undertaking formal specialist training pathways and reflects undergraduate student opinions with regards to styles of teaching they prefer. 

It is intended to promote study and scientific research in the field of dental implantology and allied biomedicaz disciplines at Dental Dubai. It provides valuable information to general dentists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, periodontists, scientists, clinicians, laboratory owners and technicians, manufacturers, and educators during Dentistry workshop and Dentistry conferences. Dental Implant basics, prosthetics, pharmaceuticals, and the latest research in implantology, implant surgery, and advanced implant procedures

Prosthodontists are experts in the restoration and replacement of teeth - they make smiles look beautiful and function the way they should. Maxillo-facial prosthetics,Implant-based prostheses,Management of temporo-mandibular disorders,Dentures,Crowns,bridges and full or partial dentures are just some of the procedures that can help you regain your smile and improve your appearance and self-confidence.
