In the interest of better serving the various specific oral health needs of the dental patient community, the field of Dentistry is divided into a wealth of specialties. In the interest of better serving the dentists themselves, SML offers a multitude of appliances and appliance therapy options to practitioners in the primary specialty areas.

Over the past decade -- indeed most recently in the increased emergence and documented virulence of airborne bacterial maladies – the link between oral access and the spread of systemic disease has come under the closest scrutiny. It is well known that bacteria can (and does) enter the blood stream directly via the gateway of the mouth and gums. (Fig. A)

Left untreated, the gateway bacterial precursors of oral tissue inflammation and gum disease can and do become far more serious.  Plaque formation, restriction of blood flow to vital areas and the triggering of systemic inflammation throughout the body can be the result. And the more prevalent and serious the sources of inflammation, the…

The American Dental Association notes that diabetes and periodontal disease have a “bidirectional” relationship: while high blood sugar increases the risk of gum disease, gum disease makes it difficult to control blood sugars, potentially increasing A1C levels. (Figure A)

Gum infections can increase blood sugar levels, which can make it more difficult to manage diabetes. High blood sugar levels can result in:

Consequently, eliminating gum disease from this picture could prove to be of significant…

THE GATEWAY TO ORAL HEALTH: Helping the Respiratory-at-Risk Breathe Easier

Entrenched as we are today in the prevalence of COVID-19 and its disturbingly relentless resurgences, it behooves us to consider the viral gateway that has made such devastation possible. Accumulating evidence over the past decade has suggested that oral disorders, particularly periodontal disease may indeed influence the course of respiratory infections.

The gateway? Inflammation creates bacterial plaque which can be aspirated into the lungs where colonization and infection result in airway compromise, increased immunological susceptibility, and full-on obstructive pulmonary infection.

Consequently, eliminating gum disease from this picture could prove to be of significant…

For YOU, the dentist,  the OraKlenz System fulfills the potential for implementing an optimized treatment/therapy plan – greatercontrol for better results, better patient management and greater pricing flexibility. It also provides an opportunity for significant practice expansion…potentially a growth of $100,000  (150 new patients) per year.

For your patients, the 4-tray, at-the-source treatment of bacterial inflammation and infection -- and the control and protection provided by such a system -- will definitely come as a breath of fresh air to those struggling with chronic halitosis and/or gum disease; those faced with the possibility of oral re-infection; those at…

A connection between gum disease and Alzheimer’s Disease? Yes. Bacteria associated with AD (F. nucleatum – also linked to conditions ranging from colorectal cancer to premature delivery of babies.) -- have been isolated in the periodontal pockets and along the nerves extending from teeth to tissues in the brain. When these bacteria are introduced into brain cultures, an abnormal proliferation of immune (microglial) cells results. The over-abundance of immune cells triggers chronic inflammation which appears to be the key determinant in the progressive cognitive decline that occurs during Alzheimer’s disease

Translational research is currently being aimed at…

It’s a fact: those suffering from gum disease are two to three times more susceptible to heart attack, stroke or other serious cardiovascular event – most commonly heart disease and atherosclerosis. And, of course, the operative word in all arterial infections - in fact all systemic infection - is “inflammation.”

Inflammation is frequently the result of oral bacteria entering the blood stream via the “gateway” of the mouth and gums. Once in the bloodstream the bacteria combine with fat deposits to create plaque and restrict blood flow. Restricted blood flow and a compromised immune system can lead to clots, which obstruct the arterial pathway, weaken your body’s…

Occlusal splints are custom-fit, removable devices crafted from durable acrylic. Designed to fit over the biting surfaces of the upper or lower teeth, their primary aim is to establish a precise bite alignment with the opposing teeth. As versatile tools in dental care, these splints serve several critical functions:
