If you are in need of a dental crown, make sure that you discuss with your doctor what type of material your crown will be made out of. Different dental crown materials come with their own advantages, drawbacks and costs. Here is a quick rundown of the top five dental crown materials your crown could be made out of.

However, the material is really thick and in order for the crown to be installed correctly, additional natural tooth often has to be shaven away in order to ensure a good fit. Even with teeth shaving, it can be hard for dentists to make all-porcelain crowns fit as seamlessly as other crown material options.
Gold Crowns
Crowns made out of gold do not blend in, and tent to stand out in your mouth. However, gold crowns are really durable and stand up to wear over time, especially if placed in the back of your tooth. Gold crowns are also often easy to place, and don’t require excess tooth to be shaven like all-porcelain teeth do.
Solid Zirconia
Solid zirconia represents the latest in dental crown technology. Solid zirconia crowns are made using digital fabrication machines over the course of a single day. This material is really strong, and does not easily fracture or chip. It is considered a stronger material than crowns made out of ceramic or porcelain. Additionally, the material works really well with your gums and teeth and functions extremely naturally.
Be sure to have a discussion with your dentist about what material is best for your budget, your crown location and your long-term dental health if a dental crown is in your
We often place dental crowns at J. Wesley Anderson, Jr., DDS whenever a patient has a tooth that is damaged to the point where it is no longer functional. The damages a tooth can have include cracks, chips, and decay as well as teeth that are worn down. A dental crown is essentially a cap for teeth that have these types of damages. It is made from porcelain and will be bonded over the top of your damaged tooth. When the crown is placed, it will give a tooth that has lost its function and appearance both the look and function of a healthy natural tooth.

Ceramic Braces- Primarily adults and teens request these braces because they blend in with their natural teeth and are less noticeable than metal braces.
In order to have enough retention for the crown to stay in place, a build- up is done on the tooth before the crown is made. Also, when using an amalgam alloy for a filling, not as much natural tooth structure has to be removed in order to place the filling. Whereas, when using a composite filling, also known as tooth colored or a white filling, the retention of the filling requires removal of more tooth structure in order to have the filling stay in place. Also, there is a concern by some dentists about the longevity of composite fillings. Replacing fillings can get quite expensive for the patients and is not a very cost-effective choice. Most insurance companies will not cover the costs of having tooth colored fillings placed, but they will pay for amalgams, which is another good reason for using amalgam. When a filling lasts longer and does not need to be replaced as often, it is much more cost-effective for the patient. There are other facts to take into consideration. Patients who have “poor oral hygiene” are great candidates for amalgam fillings. (CDC). Amalgam tends to arrest decay and this is extremely helpful for a patient who has poor oral hygiene and is cavity prone. Silver fillings are more affordable (ADA) than composite, insurance companies will recognize them and they are safe.

Intellectual Integrity is being disciplined and true to one’s self along with holding others to the same standard. Having this type of virtue, one has to have the constant mind set and demeanor in order to maintain and influence others. Moreover, setting this virtue as a high priority along with maintaining will encourage others to do the same. I experience this as a leader in the military wanting and expected to maintain a high-level of integrity and I expect the same from my leaders, peers, and subordinates. Consequently, if we compromise our intellectual integrity, we become inconsistent and unconsciously contradictive; this brings mixed messages to the audiences and causes our thinking and actions to be an intellectual hypocrisy (Paul
Is it silver filling or dental amalgam? Most people call it silver fillings, while the dentist calls it dental amalgam. "Dental amalgam was developed in France in the 1800's" (Gladwin & Bagby, 2013). In 1833, dental amalgam was introduced to the United States, which started the controversy immediately (Gladwin & Bagby, 2013). People went back and forth debating whether or not dental amalgam was safe or not. Many people do not realize that dental amalgam has been used for over 150 years and is one of the oldest materials in the oral health care ("Dental Amalgam", 1993). Dental amalgam contains a mixture of metals such as silver, which is the largest of filling and adds great strength to the amalgam, tin and copper, which also contribute to strengthening the compound, as well as mercury, which makes these components into a hard, stable, and safe substance that in amounts of up to 50 percent by weight(ADA.org, 2009).
Imagine living in a community where every minute of everyday you were hungry, underclothed, and at risk for death because you are poor. Now imagine waking up and your biggest problem was which sweater to wear with which jeans. Both are scenarios that occur on a daily basis in our countries, some more extreme than others are. With that in mind a question of whether or not rich nations have an obligation to help those nations if need arises. Professor of philosophy Peter Singer and biologist Garrett Hardin both have very different opinions on this matter and the following paper will focus on their arguments.
In a world in which patriarchy had¬—and still does have—firm roots, Henrik Ibsen released his play A Doll’s House. Received with scathing criticism, the play challenged societal norms and promoted feminism and equal rights. Henrik Ibsen uses Nora and Torvald Helmer as synecdoches for greater social ideologies, and through the conflict between them, he establishes a social critique of patriarchy and promotes equality.
