Canal Calem Periodontics Offers Ridge Augmentations to Cherry Hill, NJ

Bone loss in the jaw can severely hinder a person’s life, affecting both their mental and physical health.

CHERRY HILL, N.J. (PRWEB)
June 02, 2020

The esteemed periodontists at Canal Calem Periodontics help those suffering from lost jawbone volume in Cherry Hill, NJ restore their jaw and smile through ridge augmentation. Bone loss in the jaw can severely hinder a person’s life, affecting both their mental and physical health. Ridge augmentation allows periodontists to restore the natural contours of the jaw, enhance facial aesthetics and improve patient candidacy for dental implant placement. Patients with jawbone loss can receive this beneficial treatment at either the Medford, NJ or Moorestown, NJ Canal Calem Periodontics practice locations.

Bone loss in the jaw can occur for a variety of reasons, including trauma to the jaw, disease or lack of stimulation due to tooth loss. When the jawbone has deteriorated, there is less support for tooth roots, causing looseness and eventual tooth loss. In addition, the natural shape of the jaw and face as a whole will be altered, giving a more sunken in, aged look to the patient. Tooth loss combined with a changed facial appearance often lead patients to experience self-consciousness and a diminished quality of life. Dental implants, which need bone to stay secure in the jaw, may not be possible without ridge augmentation to restore the proper levels of bone to the jaw.

Ridge augmentation involves restoring bone where there is little bone width and height. Through a process called bone grafting, periodontists at Canal Calem Periodontics can rebuild the contours of the jaw, improving the appearance of the patient’s face and creating proper bone volume to support teeth or dental implants. Dental implants are a long-term tooth replacement solution that look, feel and function just like natural teeth. Typically, implants can be placed between four to six months after ridge augmentation is performed.

Periodontists are specialists in the hard and soft tissues of the mouth as well as in treatment of gum disease and dental implants to replace missing teeth. Canal Calem Periodontics offers experienced specialized care for patients who are seeking treatment for bone loss. The practice has been restoring smiles with ridge augmentation for over 25 years and Dr. Mario Canal maintains a membership with both the Academy of Osseointegration and the Delaware Valley Academy of Osseointegration.

Patients who are experiencing bone loss in their jaw are welcome to visit Canal Calem Periodontics for ridge augmentation, with or without a referral. To make an appointment, call 609-953-3700 for the Medford, NJ location or 856-439-1200 for the Moorestown, NJ location. Consultations can also be scheduled online at http://www.canalcalemperio.com.

Dr. Suzanne Friedler

What’s encouraging is the number of novel, increasingly effective – and more tolerable – acne medications that have become available during the past few years, including the possibility in the future of a vaccine targeting the bacterial toxin believed responsible for acne.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
June 02, 2020

Acne! It’s seemingly everywhere, yet no silver bullet exists to cure it, despite years of research, says dermatologist Suzanne Friedler MD. In fact, more than 50 million people in the United States, including 85 percent of adolescents, have the chronic skin disorder. It is reportedly the reason for some 20 percent of all visits to the dermatologist. And, even the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt experienced it, according to earliest known references to the disease, says Dr. Friedler, a New York physician at Advanced Dermatology, PC and the Center for Laser & Cosmetic Surgery.

“What’s encouraging is the number of novel, increasingly effective – and more tolerable – acne medications that have become available during the past few years, including the possibility in the future of a vaccine targeting the bacterial toxin believed responsible for acne,” says Dr. Friedler, citing a 2018 study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. In the study, scientists report that a toxin released by Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), a common bacterium that lives on the surface of the skin, likely induces the inflammation that causes the characteristic inflammatory lesions of acne including papules, pustules and cysts.

Ongoing scientific work continues to enhance understanding of the disorder and its causes. However, experts generally contend that the onset of acne occurs when keratinocytes (skin cells) and sebum, the oily substance produced by sebaceous glands, plug up the skin’s follicles. Hair follicles are narrow canals connected to sebaceous glands. The follicle blockade prevents sebum from rising through pores to the skin’s surface. The resulting build-up of oil and cells promotes growth of P. acnes leading to an inflammatory response.

Genetics plays a role in acne. Teenagers are at higher risk for the condition if one or both parents had it. Other causes include hormonal changes in both adolescents and adults, especially adult women who are pregnant or in their premenstrual cycle; certain cosmetic products; skin friction from sports equipment or tight-fitting clothes; diet and even stress, Dr. Friedler explains.

“Acne is neither life-threatening nor contagious, but it is a very visible condition that can leave the patient with both physical and emotional scars,” says Dr. Friedler, who advises acne-sufferers to seek the immediate counsel of a dermatologist.

“If acne is left untreated or if a person tries to ‘pop’ or pick off acne lesions in an effort to improve appearance, the skin can be left with permanent scars,” she says. “Hereditary factors also make a person more prone to scarring or to unsightly blotches of skin discoloration after the acne lesions have healed.”

In its most severe form, acne conglobata may present with papules, pustules, cysts and nodules in the skin. As the high levels of inflammation begin to clear, patients may be left with depressed or raised scars on the skin.

As for the disorder’s impact on mental health, Dr. Friedler points to two 2018 studies – one linking acne to a 63 percent higher risk of depression during the first year of the disease (The British Journal of Dermatology) and another to poor self-image and low self-esteem, affecting quality of life (Plos One). Results of a survey presented at an American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) meeting indicated more than two-thirds of respondents considered someone with acne “unattractive.”

AAD physician guidelines for managing acne call for application of topical retinoids, vitamin A derivatives that regulate growth of epithelial skin cells. Retinoids such as tretinoin, aldapalene tazarotene and trifarotene help fight comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) which are the precursors to other acne forms. Along with retinoids, Dr. Friedler prescribes prescription-strength topicals consisting of sodium sulfacetamide, benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid, dapsone, and various antibiotics, depending on the case. Oral treatments include new generation antibiotics, hormonal therapies and Isotretinoin (Accutane). Research has shown oral contraceptives and spironolactone to be effective in women with hormonal acne. Diet and lifestyle modifications can help as well.

For serious or stubborn cases of acne and to speed it’s resolution, patients may require chemical peels, photodynamic (light) therapy or laser therapy. These treatments are also helpful for reduction of post-acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. “The favored approach is one tailored to the severity of the condition, the patient’s skin type and color and a person’s response and tolerance to specific medications,” she says. “There is no one ‘best’ solution or one-size-fit-all therapy for the condition.”

Although acne cannot be wholly prevented since genetics is often involved, Dr. Friedler suggests these tips for minimizing its intensity:

• Wash the face with a gentle cleanser at least twice a day – morning and evening – and before a workout or strenuous task that causes one to perspire.
• Avoid irritating the skin with scrubs, buff puffs or harsh astringents.
• Do not pick, pop or try to scrape off acne pimples and nodules. Allow them to heal naturally or with aid of medications
• Use an oil free mineral sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher
• Keep hair and hands off the face and avoid hair and facial products — like mousses, gels and creams — that contain oil or butter.
• Keep bedding clean by changing bed sheets and pillowcases frequently.
• See your dermatologist for a customized skin care routine

Dr. Jin Kim, Periodontist in Garden Grove, CA Reopens Periodontal Practice

Oral health is the cornerstone of overall health. If left untreated dental concerns can grow and become systemic issues.

Garden Grove, CA (PRWEB)
June 02, 2020

Dual board-certified periodontist and international lecturer, Dr. Jin Kim, reopens his two periodontal practices in Garden Grove and Diamond Bar, CA with new safety measures in place. Closely adhering to recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Dental Association (ADA), as well as the local and federal authorities, Dr. Kim and his staff have implemented new safety measures to protect their community’s health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Oral health is the cornerstone of overall health. If left untreated dental concerns can grow and become systemic issues. Infection or inflammation in the gums, common signs of gum disease, can spread throughout the body and lead to chronic inflammation and a strained immune system. In order to preserve patients’ health and help them maintain an overall healthy life, Dr. Kim and his team welcome patients for gum disease treatment as well as dental implant services.

A specialist in gum disease treatment and dental implant surgery, Dr. Kim is also dual board certified by the American Board of Periodontology and the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry. In addition to his specialized periodontal training, Dr. Kim has advanced degrees in oral pathology, public health, and oral biology. Over his decades in practice he has seen first-hand the mouth-body connection and the improvements periodontal treatment can have on a patient’s life.

Offering minimally invasive care whenever possible, Dr. Kim and his team offer LANAP® laser gum therapy, an FDA-cleared solution to effectively treat gum disease with less discomfort and within fewer appointments. He also uses guided dental implant technology for precise and predictable dental implant placement for nearly 100 percent restored function. In fact, he can restore complete tooth loss in just one visit with All-on-4® full mouth dental implants.

Understanding the importance of complete oral health and a healthy immune system, now more than ever, Dr. Kim and his team are eager to welcome back their existing patients as well as any new patients in and around their area. Always adhering to the highest level of OSHA required Universal Safety Precautions, they have implemented additional safety guidelines for their patients’ comfort and health.

Among other measures, the staff will wear personal protection equipment (PPE) at all times when in contact with patients. Reducing the number of patients in the waiting room at one time, they are encouraging those who are able, to use their cars as their own personal waiting rooms. EPA-approved chemicals are used to sanitize each patient’s room after each visit. Each practice also receives a deep cleaning more frequently as well.

Dr. Kim and his team will closely monitor updates made by the CDC, ADA, and state and federal authorities amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

To learn more about the safety measures being taken by periodontist, Dr. Kim, or to schedule a consultation call 714-898-8757 for their Garden Grove practice or 909-860-9222 for their Diamond Bar location.

We now have video telehealth, symptom monitoring, medication adherence, patient education, biometric devices for various health conditions and more, and we needed a name that reflected the breadth of our current and growing offerings.

LANSDALE, Pa. (PRWEB)
June 02, 2020

RemetricHealth, a leading remote patient monitoring (RPM) and telehealth services company that has been serving the healthcare industry for more than a decade, announced today the launch of its new brand and website reflecting its expanded virtual and integrated care offerings.

In 2010, RemetricHealth, then known as PMD Healthcare, developed the first-ever patented, FDA-approved at-home personal spirometer, Spiro PD, which measures lung function. In recent years, RemetricHealth has expanded its RPM/telehealth capabilities, adding devices (such as a blood pressure monitor, weight scale, pulse oximeter, and more) that physician groups, hospitals, home health agencies and payers can use to monitor their patients’ overall health. The kits also are beneficial for chronic care management for conditions including CHF, hypertension, COPD and diabetes, as well as COVID-19 symptom monitoring.

“Our original name, PMD Healthcare, reflected the initial steps we took to help patients, but we felt it didn’t fully encompass our company’s continuing evolution,” says founder and CEO Wayne Meng. “We now have video telehealth, symptom monitoring, medication adherence, patient education, biometric devices for various health conditions and more, and we needed a name that reflected the breadth of our current and growing offerings. Our work in remote patient monitoring and telehealth is more relevant to patients and their circumstances than it has ever been.”

That relevance is also true for healthcare organizations seeking ways to serve patients safely and keep the doors open in a time of COVID-19 social distancing. Physicians who work with RemetricHealth to offer telehealth and remote patient monitoring can help patients outside the office and are earning significant reimbursements. Already, RemetricHealth works with more than half of the 20 hospitals described by U.S. News & World Report as the best in the country.

Additionally, RemetricHealth simplifies patient compliance—as shown by the company’s 96 percent patient satisfaction score. All of the tools transmit data without the need for patients to download apps, connect to Wi-Fi or engage in any other technology lift.

About RemetricHealth

RemetricHealth is an industry-leading, fully integrated remote patient monitoring and telehealth technology and service company that helps physician groups, hospitals, home health agencies and payers improve patient outcomes and achieve strategic goals by closely monitoring symptoms, vital signs and medication adherence between healthcare visits, alerting healthcare providers if intervention is needed. We’ve custom-tailored our own devices and combined RPM with video telehealth for a comprehensive solution that is truly integrated, flexible and affordable – with room for providers to achieve a significant ROI. We are bringing healthcare home. To discover more, visit RemetricHealth.com.
