Dr. John Chao researched, refined and developed the new gum recession treatment technique. A 33-month study of 43 patients with 121 gum recessions using the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ was published in the October 2012 issue of The International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry. The results of this study indicated that the technique was as successful as traditional gum grafting procedures requiring surgery,  cutting and sutures.  It also reported that patients who underwent the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ indicated there was virtually no pain, no bleeding and that they were highly satisfied with the rapid transformation of the defective gum line.

Toxic Mercury and Changes

WHY is Mercury Still Used?

At Least One Dental School is Forward-Looking

Research from major universities and the World Health Organization (WHO) clearly indicate that amalgam, mercury-based filling are toxic, adversely affecting the body’s immune response and the environment in general.  

Research has also indicated that the most toxic metal is mercury -- considered to be more toxic that lead, arsenic or cadmium.

With all of the negative indicators piling up,  nearly fifty percent of all U. S. dentists still use mercury fillings in their practices and a large number of U. S. dental schools continue to teach with mercury fillings as the material of choice.

In contrast, graduates of the New York University (NYU) College of Dentistry will not be taught with mercury amalgam materials.   A faculty letter recently sent to students at NYU cited the United Nations Environmental Program which proposes that mercury-containing products, including amalgam, be phased out of use.  The faculty letter also cited the large mercury load in the waterways of the world, including those of America.  A major source of that mercury is dental offices.

NYU, reported these and other issues that caused it to take the course of teaching students alternative ways to care to patient teeth, stating that, "all treatment plans should consider alternative restorative materials other than amalgam."

NYU is not going completely mercury-free,  will still include amalgam preparation design and placement, however, they have officially revised the default restoration material from amalgam to composite. The letter also states that:

·              Amalgam may still be used, however, approval for placement must be received from faculty after student-proposed justification.

·              Dental students will be trained in use of amalgam, but will be instructed in  indications and contraindications.

·              Strict mercury hygiene procedures are to be followed when using amalgam in both the clinic and preclinical settings.

The Headache and TMJ

Tension headaches are the most commonly occurring type of headache. These may be due to depression, anxiety, stress or holding the neck and head in abnormal positions. This causes the headache as the muscles tighten in the neck, shoulders, scalp and jaw. Tension headaches most often occur on both sides of the head, generally starting at the back of the head and spreading forward. Pain associated with tension headaches can be squeezing or dull, like a tightening vice or band – that’s why we often feel the urge to rub the painful area – a natural move to loosen the muscles.

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) headaches may feel similar to the tension headache, as the mucles of the head, neck and jaw contract.

Additional symptoms, however, may be associated with TMJ problems such as:
• Jaw popping, clicking or grating sounds when opening and closing the mouth
• Pains and dull aching of the face and facial muscles
• Discomfort or difficulty when chewing or biting.
• Biting or chewing difficulty or discomfort
• Earache
• Painful jaw – or jaw tenderness
• Reduction in jaw range – or inability to widely open or easily close the mouth.

Whatever the symptoms and causes of your own TMJ and headaches, Dr. Fallah is specially trained in dealing with TMJ and all of its ramifications. He uses state-of-the art procedures and equipment to measure and analyze your unique situation. Call today and find immediate relief.
