Dr. Paulo Malo, in Lisbon, Portugal, is the pioneer of the All-On-4 technique, an innovative solution for those dental patients who have lost or are about to lose all of their upper and/or lower teeth or are missing all their teeth and wearing dentures. New Albany, Indiana dentist, Dr. Ronald L. Receveur, is one of a small percentage of doctors around the globe that has had the opportunity to be trained under Dr. Malo in Lisbon.
It has been estimated that the number of people in the USA to be missing all of their natural teeth will double from 2010 to 2020. Obviously, there will be an audience looking for treatment options that are comfortable and allow good function and esthetics.
The All-on-Four eliminates messy adhesives, removing your dentures at night, embarrassment of dentures slipping during speech or smiling or the bad breath associated with wearing dentures, and allows you to eat the foods you love.
With this All-On-4 procedure, patients have a "fixed" prosthesis, where the new teeth are permanently anchored in place. Their new permanent teeth come closer to being just like their natural teeth at a more economical cost than other comparable methods previously.
What is Different About the All-On-4 Technique?
The All-on-Four technique utilizes four dental implants to attach the new set of permanent replacement teeth. The implants used in this procedure are specially designed for immediate function (putting the teeth on right away) and typically do not require expensive bone grafting. Traditional approaches utilize 8-12 implants and usually bone grafting, increasing the cost for the patient.
In many cases, patients lacking the bone volume required to support traditional implants are able to enjoy the many benefits of a permanent solution to missing teeth with this All-On-4 procedure.
Beautiful New Teeth in One Day
Due to the rigid structure of the replacement teeth and the anchorage provided by the dental implants, patients can go home that same day or the next day with new permanent teeth, even when extractions of hopeless teeth are required.
This amazing new technology is truly changing people's lives!!!

3D Imaging: Tomorrow's Standard of Care
Indiana Dental Practice Installs Southern Indiana’s First and Only Galileos 3D X-Ray Imaging System
New Albany, Indiana dentist, Dr. Ronald L. Receveur, has installed Sirona Dental System's three-dimensional (3D) X-ray imaging system, GALILEOS, the first ever such system in Southern Indiana.
New Albany, IN (PRWEB) May 23, 2010 --- New Albany, Indiana dentist, Dr. Ronald Receveur, has installed a new three-dimensional (3D) X-ray imaging system, GALILEOS made by Sirona Dental Systems, the first such system of its kind in a private practice in Southern Indiana.
“Images taken in most dental offices are two-dimensional. 3-Dimensional images make the placement of dental implants safer, more predictable and accurate. The Galileos system produces a three dimensional computer image of the patient's jaw on the computer screen and the surgery can be “virtually” performed before the clinical procedure even starts.”
Galileos’ technology allows diagnostic X-ray imaging with the smallest amount of radiation possible, 10 times less radiation than a conventional CAT scan. With astonishing anatomical detail, dentists can achieve a more accurate dental treatment plan with improved results. Dental implants can subsequently be placed with unrivaled precision and accuracy.
“It's very precise," Dr. Receveur said. “Images taken in most dental offices are two-dimensional. 3-D images make the placement of implants safer, more predictable and accurate. The Galileos system produces a three dimensional computer image of the patient's jaw on a computer screen and the surgery can be “virtually” performed before the clinical procedure even starts.”
Galileos gives you:
1. The smallest amount of radiation possible (10 times less radiation than a
conventional CAT scan)
2. Astonishing anatomical detail (achieves a more accurate Dental Treatment
Plan with Improved Results).
3. Convenience: This is the only unit of its’ kind in Southern Indiana. (No need to
go to hospital for CAT scan)
4. Dental Implants can be placed with unrivaled precision. Because of the
precision in determining the amount and thickness of bone before surgery,
often there is no incision and no sutures after implant placement. “It’s
absolutely amazing technology. This literally changes everything”, Dr.
Receveur says.
5. An ability to diagnose sinus problems and pathology that was unachievable with
two-dimensional radiology. Chronic sinus issues, malignancies of the jaws
and dental lesions previously undiagnosed or unable to be seen on
traditional dental x-rays are frequently found in the new 3 dimensional
imaging.

New Info on Osteoporosis
Hey friends / patients,
The last couple of years, there's been some discussion of risk of osteonecrosis (the patient's bone breaking down and not healing well) if the patient is on Fosamax-type drugs and they have dental surgery, and extraction or maybe implants placed.
When talking with dental friends, it was kind of odd to us, because very few of us had even seen one case of osteonecrosis. Yet, there was all of this worry that it could happen.
Here's a new study that shows a VERY LOW chance of problems with healing in patients taking Fosamax-type drugs. The new report shows a prevalence of Osteonecrosis of the Jaw in Patients Using Fosamax®-type Drugs is 0.1%.
According to a large scale study carried out in California, osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) occurred in 1 out of 952 survey respondents taking oral bisphosphonates for prevention of osteoporosis. One out of 952 represents a prevalence rate of 0.1%. This data provides new information to be added to previous reports describing the prevalence of this condition in users of Fosamax-type drugs.
What's this mean? Women who are taking Fosamax-type drugs don't appear to have risk of poor healing if they have a tooth extraction, a dental implant or dental surgery.
Best,
Dr. Ron Receveur

Mother's Gum Disease Linked to Baby's Death!
Dear Friends:
We've known for a long time that the health of your mouth was linked to Heart Disease. This new revelation CHANGES EVERYTHING! This article is a MUST READ!
First Oral Bacteria Found Linking a Mother and Her Stillborn Baby
ScienceDaily (Jan. 22, 2010) — Yiping Han, a researcher from Department of Periodontics at Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, reports the first documented link between a mother with pregnancy-associated gum disease to the death of her fetus. The findings are discussed in the February issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
An Internet search in 2008 led a friend of a mother, who had just delivered a stillborn baby, to Han's research lab -- one of the few in the world working on understanding the role variations of the oral bacteria, Fusobacterium nucleatum, have on pre-term labor and stillbirths. The mother delivered her full-term baby at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., at 39 weeks and five days.
During the 35-year-old mother's pregnancy (her first), she told Han she experienced excessive gum bleeding, a symptom of pregnancy-associated gingivitis. Approximately 75 percent of pregnant women experience gum bleeding due to the hormonal changes during pregnancy.
"There is an old wives' tale that you lose a tooth for each baby, and this is due to the underlying changes during pregnancy," said Han, "but if there is another underlying condition in the background, then you may lose more than a tooth but a baby."
Bleeding associated with the gingivitis allowed the bacteria, normally contained to the mouth because of the body's defense system, to enter the blood and work its way to the placenta. Even though the amniotic fluid was not available for testing, Han suspects from work with animal models that the bacteria entered the immune-free amniotic fluid and eventually ingested by the baby. Han says normally a mother's immune system takes care of the bacteria in the blood before it reaches the
placenta. But in this case, the mother also experienced an upper respiratory infection like a cold and low-grade fever just a few days before the stillbirth.
"The timing is important here because it fits the time frame of hematogenous (through the blood)spreading we observed in animals," Han said.
Postmortem microbial studies of the baby found the presence of F. nucleatum in the lungs and stomach. The baby had died from a septic infection and inflammation caused by bacteria. After questioning the mother about her health during the pregnancy, Han arranged for her to visit a periodontist, who collected plaque samples from her teeth.
Using DNA cloning technologies, Han found a match in the bacterium in the mother's mouth with the bacterium in the baby's infected lungs and stomach. Han also ruled out by testing bacteria from the vaginal and rectal areas, which did not show the presence of F. nucleatum.
"The testing strongly suggested the bacteria were delivered through the blood," Han said. With preventative periodontal treatment and oral health care, the mother has since given birth to a healthy baby. Han, who has spent the past decade taking her oral bacteria research from the lab to the bedside, says this points again to the growing importance of good oral health care. In addition to this direct link from the mother to her baby, oral bacteria have been associated with heart disease, diabetes and arthritis.
The researcher suggests women, who are considering a pregnancy, seek dental care to take care of any oral health problems before getting pregnant. If pregnant, she encourages expectant moms to practice good oral health and alert the doctor to any gum bleeding.
Collaborating with Han on the case study were Yann Fardini, Casey Chen, Karla G. Iacampo, Victoria A. Peraino, Jaime Shamonki and Raymond W. Redline. The study had support from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.
