Zirconia Crowns – What You Should Know

admin30/07/201901/08/2019

In the last few years, zirconia crowns rose in popularity among dentists. Of course, there are reasons why people prefer them instead of other types of crowns. A chemist from Germany found out that zirconium dioxide has some good characteristics. This is the reason why the medical world starts to use it for a prosthesis. Hip implants are made by zirconium dioxide. It was not long enough when the dental industry started to produce teeth implants by zirconia. Now, we are facing the opportunity to use it in crowns too. The metal is extremely durable so zirconia crowns from DentalDesigns have a long expiration date.

How many types of zirconia Do we know?

Thanks to modern technologies we have two different variations of this metal – a high translucent and solid one. Let`s find out what is the difference between them.

Solid zirconia is the harder type that`s why dentists use it for creating solid support even with teeth which are not stable at all. The disadvantage of the solid zirconia is its colour – opaque. That`s why if it is recommendable for back teeth but not front ones. However, the material is extremely tough so chewing is not a problem at all. No matter how fast the patient chew or how much force he applies. The second type is high translucent zirconia the crown which is not visible as a solid one, that’s why dentists use it for front teeth. However, although it is not as hard as the solid zirconia, it is stronger than porcelain.

What are the pros of zirconium crowns?

First, we will list the reasons why people prefer this material, and then we will compare it with other crowns. Let`s get started. Looks good.

Looks good. The colour of zirconia allows being used in various colours teeth. People prefer it because it is invisible. Today, people don`t want to look old, so crowns should be invisible;
Lack of metal. Usually, porcelain crowns have metal layer and it is slightly visible close to the gums. Today, people try not to make compromises when it comes to appearance – that`s why metal is not acceptable at all;
Zirconia crowns don`t provoke allergies. It is biocompatible so it can stay in the human body without any risk;
Hard material which doesn’t ruin with time. Zirconia crown won`t chip off so once you have it, you wouldn`t have to exchange it with a new one in future. Of course, this is only if you take care of your teeth properly;
The procedure is easier because zirconia the crown needs a minimal removal of a tooth. In addition, it bonds easily with a natural tooth.

The biggest pro of zirconia crowns according to experts at Dental Designs Clinic in Singapore is the aesthetic look. Today, surgeons, dentists and all doctors try to achieve as natural results as possible. Zirconia properties allow this to happen easily. We have already mentioned that it bonds easily, but we haven`t mentioned that zirconia can be shaped. This means that the new tooth might be better looking than the natural one.

Comparing to gold, zirconia a crown is much more elegant. There are people who strongly believe that metals radiate some energy so they are not fond of the idea they will have gold in their mouth. In addition, some people develop allergies from other crowns. Zirconia avoids all these unpleasant things and endures more than porcelain crowns.

What are the cons of zirconium crowns?

It is not a surprise that the biggest pro is actually a con, too. Having in mind that zirconia is really tough material, it is expected to ruin the opposite tooth if there are crossing points. Wearing out another tooth might be avoided if the dentist is a real specialist. Another con is that under the zirconium crown, tooth decay might appear and the patient will never find it out. The last con is the price of the zirconium crowns – it might be too high. However, in the long term, it is a better investment because the patient won`t have to change it in future.

How to choose the best bespoke tailor in Singapore?

admin15/07/201915/07/2019

Like many things in the modern world, this one also becomes more complicated. Years ago, good tailors were famous and people didn`t worry too much about how to choose the right one. Today, finding a good and professional bespoke tailor in Singapore like Graziaa (where are some of the best tailors) is a hard task. If you entrust online reviews you could make a terrible mistake. If you trust adverts – also. If you trust a friend, he might have a completely different style from you so … you could end with a suit like his. As you may see, there are many wrong turns and only a few signs that might help you choose. That`s why we sum up the best methods for choosing the best bespoke tailor in Singapore, let`s find out what are they.

Search and Learn

Guide 101 for bespoke tailoring and actually for every other type of shopping is knowing what you are looking for. Imagine that you have never seen an apple before. You got into a store and asked for an apple. The salesman would ask you if you prefer red or green and you had to choose without knowing what is the difference. Of course, he might explain to you that they have different taste but still wouldn`t taste them. Now imagine that according to your choice, you will get the job you want or the girl you like. That`s why choosing a good tailor is so important because bespoke suits are not just apples, they present you and your attitude in front of the world. One bespoke suit might win you many compliments or might ruin your image in the society.

The best thing you can do before searching for a good tailor is to find out why you need a suit and how you want to look like. Of course, there is a tricky moment in here also. If you want to look like Jason Statham but your body looks like Bob Newby`s dad bod (Stranger things fans will know who we talking about), then probably you will have to choose a different suit. In few words try to evaluate your body without increasing or decreasing its size.

Things you should make research for:

What is a two-piece suit and a three-piece suit?
What does it mean fit or regular?
What are 2-button and 4-button jacket?
Do you like pockets and how many of them?
What colour will be more suitable for the occasion you will attend?
What are fabrics which are suitable for winter suits and summer suits?

Sending a message with your clothes is the most important thing if you want to make a good impression. Yes, yellow suit sounds fun but it is not a good choice for a formal event.

Ask people for recommendations

There is nothing wrong to ask people for recommendations. If you notice a well-dressed gentleman, don`t be shy and ask him about his tailor. He will be flattered that someone has noticed his suit. Actually, it is kind of injustice because women always get the best compliments about their clothes, while men stay in the shadow no matter how amazing they look. That`s why don`t be a part of this trend and ask around for the best bespoke tailor in Singapore.

Communicate with chosen tailors

Don`t be shy and share what you want. If you have some photos of suits you admire – show them. But first, you have to choose a tailor who is able to communicate with you as much as needed. It is true that good tailors are busy but if you book an appointment he should pay some attention to your requirements and needs. Trust your gut and choose the tailor who has enough experience but have enough time also. Otherwise, he might rush the design and execution.

Physiotherapist recommends: Physical activity of 2-6 years old children

admin30/04/201930/04/2019

Preschool education is important for developing children mind and body. Teachers and parents have to pay attention to physical activity because it will define children’s development in future. Physiotherapists make research, which covers around 1500 children at preschool age. The aim of the study is to show what the level of physical activity in preschool activities is, is it enough, and how to improve it. But first, let’s see how much time kids spend in preschool. The average time one kid spends in preschool is around 7 hours and 45 minutes. Most of it, children play, sleep or eat. Sounds like they have some physical activity but lets found out what physiotherapists in Singapore find out.

What the level of physical activity is in preschools?

Educational methods include mostly sedentary behaviour. For people, who are not familiar with this term we will explain that it means the child is sitting while playing or studying. Children stay in the classroom and play on the floor with almost no physical activity. They pay in large groups where space and movements are limited. In some preschool running indoors is forbidden because there is a higher risk of traumas. In addition, children spend at least 2 hours in bed and half an hour in eating which is also sedentary activities.

If we pay attention to the outdoor activities – the size of the yard matters. It is proven that sandbox, water and construction toys are decreasing the level of physical activity.

Why physical activity is so important for children between 2-6 years?

This is the age where children gain physical and emotional experience. If you limit the activity of one child he literally won’t be able to explore and learn. Studies show how the levels of activity are important about obesity, cardiometabolic system and bone density. In addition, children, who are fit have a better ability to learn and remember new things. In this age, remembering is extremely important.

Every physiotherapist in Singapore in Physioactive knows the term MVPA which means a higher level of activity – moderate to vigorous. Children are considered to have mean MVPA if they have only 16 minutes per day jumping, running or other similar activities. Special research finds out they need between 60 and 120 minutes every day in order to have maximum development and good bone mineralization.

If we dig into the data, we will find out that boys have few points higher MVPA than girls but it is still not enough.

What does physiotherapist recommend in this case?

Sedentary behaviour should be limited as much as possible. Handling activities are important but not more important than running and jumping. Preschools should have a bigger internal environment and a bigger playground outside. Rules and routines are also good for children education but knowing that they sometimes do not apply is also extremely important. In the indoor premises, physiotherapist recommends to have pushing and pulling equipment. Along with portable slides and jumping trampolines, they will make a perfect environment for higher MVPA. Racing, jumping and scaling should be a daily plan, not a one-time experience. A study shows that children play more actively with fixed equipment than with a portable one. For example, they prefer marking on the floor than portable waterslides. They burn more energy and increase the level of MVPA easily.

In conclusion, physiotherapists claim that static toys should be limited and preschools should pay more attention to what part of their activities are sedentary. Having more area for jumping and running will give the children a sense of happiness and will help their bone structure develops properly.

Plastic surgery in Singapore – the best option

admin11/03/201911/03/2019

The number of women who undergo plastic surgery in Singapore has proportionately increased the last years. Patients have numerous reasons to lie under the knife. Most women don’t feel they are enough beautiful, or they have some traumatic relationship which ended badly, so they need higher self-esteem. Having a plastic surgery 15 years ago was expensive and most people don’t approve it. Today, we face a completely different reality – if you don’t like something in yourself better change it than live with the shape in your mind for your whole life. Women without plastic surgery are just a small percent – around 30% in Singapore. Two of three women have at least one improvement classified as minor or major plastic surgery.

What are the most common reasons for having plastic surgery?

The short answer is self-esteem but so many people today focus on self-esteem that we will seek for deeper answers. A part of women are chubby or have some body parts with more fat cells than they should have. These women are brave enough to admit it and look for a problem-solving decision. Taking pills for slimming and dieting are not always as successful as we desire. In addition, these women often had been chubby children, and they have suffered from the idea they will never be thin enough. These thoughts are toxic and sometimes they limit their abilities due to prejudices and insecurities. If the case is so serious, better undergo plastic surgery than being a slave to fears whole your life.

Weddings are another very common reason for undergoing plastic surgery in Singapore according to Dream Plastic Surgery. Women grow up with the idea of wedding fairytale. Since teenage years all girls have folders with wedding dresses and things they want for their weddings. That’s why the struggle for a perfect wedding is not something you can simply ignore. Brides desire the best photos, the best dress, the best part, etc. Of course, the best body and the best look are on the top of this list. Plastic surgeries for so special occasions have to be performed enough time before the occasion. If the patient is worrying that she won’t be ready for the wedding date then better postpone the plastic surgery. Usually, future brides undergo v shape face procedures, liposuctions or double eyelid surgeries. All of these plastic surgeries are helping brides to look amazing on their wedding photos. Who doesn’t want to look good on his photos?

What are the main trends in plastic surgery in Singapore?

Basically, people want to become two things – or they want to look like someone (including their relatives or celebrities) or they want to be a better version of themselves. While looking like some popular person was more common last century, today most women desire to look just better. Plastic surgeons in Singapore always encourage their patients to opt for natural results because beauty is hiding in simple things.

What you should have in mind if you go for plastic surgery overseas?

One of the most important things about plastic surgery is the medical credibility of the surgeon. Travelling abroad always hide a risk of overcharging or less experience than presented. Another trouble is illegal brokers which will offer you only a few clinics, which have paid them earlier.

There are cases where the patient has a surgeon but after the anaesthesia, the surgeon retreated and less experienced surgeon performed the surgery. As you may notice, patients should be careful with such misleading practices.

Another common case is not enough communication between the surgeon and the patient. In the end, this will have an effect on the results. Sometimes different languages make communication more complicated even with a translator.

Lack of follow-up care might be a bad decision, also. The plastic surgery is important but follow-up care might be as much important. Recovery includes pain, discomfort and even scar healing so all of them might become a problem in future. Most of the patients can’t or don’t want to go back again for a follow-up, so Singaporean specialists have to correct the post-surgery results.

The most important thing, if you have decided to have plastic surgery is not the price, but the expertise of the surgeon. A better-educated surgeon with better practices will give you better results and you won’t look in the mirror and feel sorry.

What causes macular dystrophy?

admin17/02/201913/02/2019

Macular dystrophy is a are Eye Disease. Most eye diseases could be corrected with glasses or surgery but not this one. Unfortunately, macular dystrophy is not curable. The reason hides in the fact that it is not simple eye disease but more like a genetic disease. Keep reading and you will find out what causes macular dystrophy and why there is no cure for it.

What in fact is macular dystrophy?

Probably you know what is the structure of your eyes but in case you don’t, we will briefly explain it. In every human eye, there is a retina. In the middle of the retina, you can find the macula. The macula is responsible for colour perception and central vision. As you can guess, when the macula can’t perform its own duties, the person can’t see properly.

People report that they have significant difficulties to see in front of them so they can’t drive or read. The damage part is actually pigment cells that overcome the macula. That’s why the patient has blurred vision in front of him. An interesting fact is that the rest of the vision is intact. Unfortunately, macular dystrophy is a progressive disease so a patient’s condition will become worse with time. That’s why the best case scenario is the ophthalmologist to find out how fast patient’s condition is developing. Then the patient will have enough time to prepare his life and family and to adapt.

What causes macular dystrophy?

The only part of the reason is clear to the medics – genetic mutation. In details, if the BEST1 gene mutates, it causes Best disease, if the PRPH2 gene mutates, it causes adult-onset macular dystrophy. That’s all science know about causes of macular dystrophy. They don’t know why these genes mutate, they don’t know why mutation is causing storing pigmentation cells in the macula and they don’t know how to stop the process of happening.

Have in mind, that macular degeneration is a completely different term. It is the name of another eye disease, which is caused by ageing not mutation. You could distinguish two types of eye disease as you remember that the macular dystrophy occurs in children also while macular degeneration only in adults. However, both of them have the same symptoms like blindness or blurring in the central vision.

How could I find out if I have macular dystrophy?

The simple answer is that you will have troubles with your vision but you won’t be able to determine which is the exact cause. That’s why booking an appointment for visiting ophthalmologist is the best thing you can do. Actually, he won’t be able to tell you the reason only by examining you he will run some additional tests. One of them is fluorescein angiography, which is able to define if there is retinal damage and how bad it is. Next step is finding out how fast the disease is developing.

Another test which you might have to do is optical coherence tomography. It detects if there is a presence of yellow-brown pigment in the macula. If there is one, you have macular dystrophy.

The last option is the electroretinographic examination. It will show how bad or good your eyes see light. The quantity of received light beams will show if there is some serious internal problem. The ophthalmologist will determine if you have to make additional tests.

All tests are completely safe and won’t hurt your eyes. In addition, they are painless so you don’t have to worry about the pain. Find a good eye specialist and trust his assessment of your condition. Eye specialists with enough experience will lead you through the process and will answer all your questions. They will also explain to you and point you in the right direction for treatment options.

Macular Dystrophy treatment options

As we mentioned above, there is still no cure for this eye condition. Light in the tunnel are some gene therapies. The stem cell therapy shows significant improvement – it stops the development of the disease. There are not many tests because stem cell therapy is expensive and hard to perform but from the data, which is available, we might expect good things to happen in the future.

Spine conditions as a part of pediatric orthopaedic conditions include Kyphosis, Spina bifida, Scoliosis, stress fracture, and spine disorders. As you may see, all of them are serious spine conditions that require the highest level of expertise. The spine is responsible for walking and moving so children should have a healthy and well-developed spine.

The Second group is Genetic Conditions

Genetic conditions are Skeletal dysplasia, Achondroplasia, Osteogenesis imperfecta, Hereditary Multiple Exostosis, Neurofibromatosis, and Marfan syndrome.

How to fix carpal tunnel syndrome?

admin24/09/2018

Don’t panic if you feel numbness in your hand! Many people rely on their hands for their jobs, commitments, and of course typing and communicating with other people online. The truth is that hands are tired sometimes and people experience pain. In addition, the medical world has found out special syndrome called carpal tunnel syndrome, which can be treated with surgery. We will take a look at all methods to relieve the pain in the wrist. The aim is to relieve the compression of the median nerve. This nerve is positioned over the wrist joint. The nerve comes from the shoulder all the way down to the fingers. Unfortunately, the space in the wrist is limited and sometimes carpal tunnel is too tight due to some reasons. The result is pinching the nerve and pain. Patients can feel pain in the fingers because 9 tendons run through the carpal tunnel. Logically, when there is not enough space, the patient will feel pain.

Why does the carpal tunnel get smaller?

There are different as origin reasons but most common are:

Pregnancy;
Diabetes;
Arthritis;
Hypothyroidism;
Repetitive movements of the hand when the wrist is higher than fingers.

What are the possible treatments?

What can you do at home?

If you are knowing what activity is causing the pain just stop it. Don’t try to be a hero and go on with the painful experience. Next thing you can do is to apply ice cubs on your wrist. You have to do that every hour for at least 10 minutes. This method will relieve the pain significantly. Before you go to sleep shake your wrists for a few minutes to relieve the stress. Shaking them is a little funny but you have to stay serious. A wrist splint can help too. If you don’t have one, you might find one at the nearest drugstore. Take some painkiller but make sure you consult with your general physician, first.

If the problem is in repetitive movements that you can’t stop then your best option is to take breaks.

Imagine that you are a musician and playing the guitar is your whole day activity. Your wrists probably would suffer badly, especially if you have bad posture while playing. The same thing applies to typing, writing, folding, etc. If you want really to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome surgery, you should take regular breaks. You will need 30-40 seconds for stretching your wrists and shaking your fingers. Sounds easy, right? Why don’t you do it then?

Wrist Splint

Wrist splints, similarly to knee splints, will support your wrists and will limit their movements. In addition, they will reduce the pressure and the tunnel might reverse the process of narrowing. Wearing them during the day is more comfortable that you have imagined so give them a try. Imagine that you are a tennis player and these wrists are as important as your career.

Wrists exercises

The good thing about exercising your wrists is that you can do it everywhere. No matter how occupied is your mind or your body if you don’t use your hands – you can stretch your wrists. One amazing exercise, that is going to banish carpal tunnel syndrome – stretch your fingers, then make a fist slightly, and then stretch your fingers, again. Repeat it until you get bored or too tired. Another good exercise is writing numbers with your fingers – one number with one finger. If you want your wrists and hands to rest don’t put them down – put them up. Elevating limb is a tested method for resting.

When is the time to call your doctor?

More serious conditions need doctor’s opinion so you have to book a consultation. Usually, they prescribe corticosteroids in order to stop the inflammation and carpal tunnel syndrome. If the patient suffers from arthritis then these are the injections that could help him.

The surgery is next step – the surgeon will release the nerve and it won’t hurt anymore. Another good thing that only surgery can accomplish is freeing more space in the tunnel to prevent future pinching. Cutting the ligament is the last thing that the surgeon will do. Don’t worry, the ligament will grow up very quickly. The surgery is a simple one but can save patients from pain and discomfort. We don’t always pay attention to our wrists but in reality, we can’t do a lot of things without them.

Two cups bigger breast implants?

admin16/07/2018

Undoubtedly, people try to look as beautiful as possible. This struggle has a bad outcome for people who don’t know that even plastic surgery has its own limits. Breast augmentation in Singapore is top plastic surgery so there are plenty of examples of how beautiful breast should look. Ten years ago, not only in Singapore but all over the world, people have considered breast implants for something that is shameful and shouldn’t be done. Unfortunately, breast cancer force many women to have the surgery and society get used to the idea. Society adapts to the new things more slowly than we expect. However, today people who want to alter their breasts could easily do that without society judging them too much.

How my breasts will look more natural?

The choice of plastic surgeon is essential so you should go for the most experienced one. If you have the opportunity to undergo a breast augmentation in Singapore, you are can check JPGlicious breast implants review. In Asia, there is a common practice, plastic surgeons to share their experience. That’s why most of the professional surgeons in Singapore have been working in Korea or China.

Every plastic surgeon with enough experience will tell you that you shouldn’t enlarge your breasts with more than 2 cups. There is a good reason for that except for the fact they will look fake. Imagine that your breasts were not made by a skin and fat tissue but fabric and fat tissue. It wouldn’t be possible to enlarge your size so easily. In reality, the skin at first is not more elastic than a fabric that’s why bigger implants will cause more pain and even stretch marks. Plastic surgeons can tell easily if your new boobs will look fake or natural. Most surgeons are against too many interventions and drastic changes because aesthetic surgery should encourage natural beauty and highlight it, not hide it. As you may know, fake boobs hide natural beauty.

At first, breast implants will be a little uncomfortable but this is understandable due to the fact that the skin adapts slowly. The body needs at least 3 months to adapt completely including back’s new weight. Don’t forget that your spine is carrying your boobs 24/7 so it will need time to adjust to the new weight. This is the next reason why you shouldn’t go for more 2 cup sizes.

Round implants or tear-drop – what should I choose?

It is completely up to you. Round implants look more youthful and fake while tea drops are more mature. However, if you are in love with round implants go for them. Have in mind that after 3 months your skin will loosen a little, and they will change their shape.

A good skin is a not a gift. It needs constant care and attention, otherwise, skin loses important ingredients and starts looking bad and people look for a facelift in Singapore or some other country with a great reputation in terms of plastic surgeries. Bad looking skin is not just a loose one, bad skin means skin with inflammation, dark spots, wrinkles, etc. All these troubles can be skipped if people know how to take good care of their shell. Collagen, for example, is a significant ingredient and it is responsible for loose skin and wrinkles. Actually, its absence is responsible for all these things so if you don’t want to look like a Shar Pei then you have to prevent losing collagen from your skin.

How to prevent collagen loss?

Wear sunscreen regularly because it will protect your skin better than everything. Sunlight is not the best thing and your skin doesn’t love it no matter what you think. People who suffer from acne often think that sunburn will solve their problem and indeed they see improvements first few days but in fact, the problem become worse when first few days are gone. Other things you should have in mind is that skin care should include less alcohol, less sugar, and more exercises. If you follow all these recommendations you don’t have to worry that you will lose collagen from your cells too early. In other words, you will be saved from facelift treatments for a longer time. Of course, ageing can’t be stopped with exercising and less sugar but it can be slowed down so do what you have to do to get the best results.

How do most treatments work?

The majority of skin treatments and cosmetic products focus on the upper layer of the skin. Of course, it is the most damaged so it needs the most attention but in fact, if the treatment penetrates into deeper layers there will be better results when it comes to restoration and tightening. There are good and bad treatments, but there is not the best one. If we pay attention to the innovations in this area we will notice how fast new treatments come and go because they are displaced by better ones.

If we take Ultraformer and Ultherapy, we will notice that these are the names of treatments and machines both. Both procedures have good results and are non-invasive with almost no downtime. The first one is created in Korea, while the second one has American roots. Ultraformer is kind of the third generation of Ultherapy, so they are like cousins. Of course, innovations come with improvements and Ultraformer is better facelift treatment in Singapore with higher efficiency. In addition, it causes less pain to patients.

Another famous treatment that people always don’t understand completely is Botox.

Although it is not actually a facelift, people consider it like one. If we have to give it an additional name, it should be a face freeze because the Botox will freeze your muscles but without really freezing them. Dr Chua Chua Yu from Singapore has written a detailed article comparing a botox and a facelift treatment when it comes to dealing with some sagging skin which you can read here. However, comparing with Ultraformer treatment Botox is way more expensive and it can have scary results sometimes. Some people decide they have to improve sagging with Botox but unfortunately, this is not possible because it affects only muscles motion not skin layers. Sagging can be improved with Ultraformer and Ultherapy facelift in Singapore. If you are looking for the best place to have one of these treatments, give a chance to this gorgeous country and specialists who work there.
