Kensington Natural Smiles in Kensington, MD

Using the latest technology can often make the difference in a patient’s oral health. Using iTero makes it easier to see the fine details on teeth and to better track patient health over time.

KENSINGTON, Md. (PRWEB)
November 18, 2019

Kensington Natural Smiles is excited to utilize iTero® technology for its dental practice in Kensington, Maryland.

Kensington Natural Smiles is committed to bringing the best and latest technology to its dental patients. According to Susan Ho, D.D.S., “Using the latest technology can often make the difference in a patient’s oral health. Consider how Invisalign® aligners are removable so patients can keep up with regular oral hygiene practices or how dental implants can function like natural teeth. Using iTero makes it easier to see the fine details on teeth and to better track patient health over time.”

About iTero

iTero is a 3D digital scanner that takes precise images of a patient’s teeth at a much higher resolution than traditional x-rays and dental impression material. It looks like a wand that is capable of taking thousands of pictures a minute. Patients no longer need to bite down or gag on uncomfortable viscous material to get the impressions that they need.

iTero improves patient experiences, as it reduces the amount of dental chair time, and significantly improves how dental restorations and appliances fit. Images can be sent instantly to a lab, enabling efficient digital workflows and reducing the amount of time needed to process labs.

iTero technology can be utilized in a number of dental applications, including crowns, bridges, Invisalign orthodontic treatment, and dental implants. It can help dentists better track the wear and movement of teeth over time, making it easier to make a preventative diagnosis for bite problems patients may face in the future.

Compared to traditional methods of dental impressions, iTero technology is:

• More accurate
• Faster to record
• Less prone to user errors
• Helpful in creating accurate prosthetic devices that require less fine-tuning
• Faster in creating dental devices
• More comfortable for patients

About Kensington Natural Smiles

The implementation of an open source, collaborative platform where publishers are in control of the data will accelerate the research and production of precision medicines, while keeping the process transparent.

PALO ALTO, Calif. (PRWEB)
November 19, 2019

HashCash Consultants is going to aid a major Pharma company with a Blockchain based platform for DNA sequencing, as part of a genome research initiative for precision drugs.

The collaboration is expected to streamline the process of sharing and recording of DNA data. It will ensure that patients and contributors have more control over their genome records and the way it is used. They are also in talks to introduce a token system for the data contributors for research of precision medicines.

Raj Chowdhury, CEO of HashCash Consultants commented to the media that, “The present structure has created a monopoly of data in a few hands, leading to unethical practices that needs to stop. The implementation of an open source, collaborative platform where publishers are in control of the data will accelerate the research and production of precision medicines, while keeping the process transparent.”

• Blockchain for Genome Sequencing and Precision Medicine:

Precision drugs, also known as personalized drugs are a contrast to the “one size fits all” approach of traditional medicines. The medicine is produced after studying the genetic makeup of an individual to provide more precise treatment. Genome studies is also the key to advanced diagnosis of diseases like cancer, AIDS, etc.

The whole idea is to provide customized treatment and medication to the patient through extensive research of the genome and that’s why there is the need for a database; however, there are two primary issues with that.

First, the access to bulk load of genomic and other healthcare datasets to gather significant information. Second, the need for that data to be shareable and interoperable across geographic, jurisdictional, technological and professional boundaries.

HashCash aims at addressing both these issues and provide a comprehensive solution through the use of Blockchain technology.

• HashCash’s Blockchain Approach for a DNA Database:

HashCash has proposed a Blockchain based platform via which the patients, health specialists, governments, researchers and providers of health technology can access the data and coordinate with each other for precision medicines.

The use of private key encryption will keep all data transactions secured creating an ecosystem of trust among the patients and contributors.

Healthcare and wellness providers will be able to access the data for advanced research. However, the private key security provided by HashCash will keep the control of the data in the hands of the contributors.

About HashCash Consultants:

HashCash is a global software company. HashCash Blockchain products enable enterprises to move assets and settle payments across borders in real-time for Remittances, Trade Finance, Payment Processing and more.
