William J Dunn is a graduate of the University of Texas Dental School at Houston, Texas. He completed a Residency in Comprehensive Dentistry at Keesler Medical Center in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1994. He completed a Fellowship in Dental Biomaterials at the University Florida in 2000. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of General Dentistry, and is a Fellow of the Academy of Dental Materials. He served as Military Consultant to the Surgeon General for dental research, medical ethics, materials, devices and investigations. He has published more than 46 papers and has spoken extensively at national and international conferences

A technological renaissance has arrived, largely in part due to advances in computer technology. Advances in communication, construction, teaching and medicine have all benefited from this technology. Dentistry has been cautious about implementing many new ideas, because the prototypes were often very disappointing. CEREC, or ceramic reconstruction, has finally reached a level of accuracy that rivals or surpasses the accuracy of indirect restorations made by hand, and digital radiography is now the standard in imaging. The major areas of dentistry that will see an explosion of technology will be presented. The fastest growing area of dentistry is imaging, using a variety of digital instruments to accurately obtain two and three-dimensional images in real time. This technology will be used in all aspects of dentistry, but in particular, diagnosis and treatment planning. New aspects of imaging will involve using three-dimensional imaging in real time to discover cracks in teeth, and mapping of caries throughout a tooth. A movement away from metal and ceramic will occur with the use of bioactive and smart materials, and materials that will regenerate tooth structures, perhaps with stem cells. Three-dimensional printing will become the standard for the fabrication of everything in the office. Devices using technology from the airline industry, using heads-up-display and recognition software, will make dentistry safer. Most importantly, the profession will come to embrace that all patients are unique in their genetic makeup, and personalized medicine will become standard treatment for patients in the future

The biggest issue in failure of root canal treatment is still failure in cleaning the canals. The main predictor for long term success in endodontic therapy is to eradicate microorganisms from an infected root canal prior to obturation. In all nonsurgical endodontic treatments both shaping, and cleaning of root canals are the major steps. In case all remnants of debris are not extirpated, this can ruin all further steps of obturation. Lasers have been reported since the early 1970s in use for nonsurgical endodontic treatment. Still the effectiveness of lasers is a common topic for discussion. The main feature for non-acceptance of laser photonic energy applications is dissatisfaction related with the thermal damage to surrounding tissues. Laser treatment can be of excellent value when removing smear layer from dentinal tubules. With earlier traditional laser techniques, dentin appeared clean with debrided surfaces, with no or little smear layer present and opened tubules. Hence, when treated dry surfaces indicated serious thermal damage

Ruy Teichert Filho is Captain of the Board of Health Specialists of the Brigada Militar in the Rio Grande do Sul State Brazil. He is the CEO of Teichert Clinic Aesthetic Dentistry and Implantodontic and a Professor with specialization in Implantology at Cruzeiro do Sul College. He is a Specialist in Implantology, Dental Prosthesis and Esthetic Dentistry. For more than 15 years, he is dedicated to the study and practice of oral rehabilitation focused on aesthetics

Dental selection in oral rehabilitation is a complex process. Despite the great advances in dentistry over the last few years, the principles for selecting the shape and size of teeth in rehabilitation remain the same at the beginning of the last century, which have not proved sufficient for the high aesthetic standards demanded today. The objective of the present study is to present the dental community a new proposal for the selection of teeth to be used in oral and aesthetic rehabilitations. From a thorough review of the literature, clinical cases and a comparative pilot study conducted in the years of 20102011 at the Lutheran University of Brazil in Cachoeira do SulRio Grande do Sul, where 10 patients received two full dentures with teeth chosen by conventional methods and another with the teeth chosen by the new method. Of these 9 preferred the aesthetic result achieved with the new method of dental selection. The author will demonstrate the possibilities of the new proposal, as well as, the principles and processes involved in it: Selection of teeth directly in the mouth; active and dynamic participation of the patients in the selection of their teeth and the simulation of the final results. The new proposal has been established as a new way of thinking about dental selection in order to provide reliability and predictability in oral and aesthetic rehabilitations in order to achieve it in the construction of personalized smiles.
