Crystalens 5-0 – implant Video

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 02:57:07 +0000

The Crystalens 5-0 is an advance on the earlier AT 45 Crystalens. This implant has attracted considerable interest in the US and currently Centre for Sight is one of very few European sites (April 2008) implanting the device. The implant is the only Accommodative lens approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and uses the eye’s natural focusing muscles to accomplish vision at all distances. Bausch and Lomb, the makers of eye products from contact lenses to Lasers for corrective eye surgery and the Stellaris cataract platform, realising the potential of the implant, recently acquired the company Eyeonics. For more on the Crystalens 5-0 in the UK, contact Centre for Sight(www.centreforsight.com) or www.centreforsight.com/crystallens.php

Periodontal disease according to The Guinness Book of world records is the most common infectious disease affecting mankind. The surgeon General has estimated that 80% of adult Americans have some form of gum disease. Healthcare costs could be reduced by focusing on the mouth. Medical insurance companies are saying we can save 4 to 1. That is, for every dollar invested in dental care they are saving $4 in medical costs.

The cost for treating diabetes is around $174 billion in the U.S. annually. Extrapolate what Columbia University and Aetna Medical found in their research that costs for diabetes care could be reduced by as much as 16 percent by treating gum disease. Take into consideration the Surgeon Generals estimate that gum disease affects approximately 80 percent of the U.S. population. Thus the potential savings by treating gum disease are approximately $22 billion.

This does not include the savings for cardiovascular disease, a probable savings of 11 percent, or another 9 percent for cerebral vascular disease or stroke. The same Aetna and Columbia University studies found that treating gum disease can reduce preterm low birth-weight babies by 50 percent. Preterm low birth-weight births account for more than 12 percent of all births, $13 billion annually in hospitalizations and uncounted social costs since babies born prematurely often require years of care. The whole total of dental expenditures in the U.S is approximately $75 billion annually. Only 3%, according to Dental Insurance statistics, is spent on periodontal disease. In other words only $2 Billion is spent on gum disease annually.

The important thing to take from this is to know your periodontal score. Unfortunately, gum disease does not hurt. When you visit your dentist make sure your gum pockets are being measured. The dentist needs to take six measurements per tooth. This score has been shown to be more important to your general health than your cholesterol level, body mass index, or blood pressure.

Remember that your gums should never bleed when you brush and floss thoroughly, no more than your hands should bleed when you wash them.
A new breakthrough in the treatment of Gum disease is Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure LANAP. The Laser has been found to regenerate the attachment around the tooth.
