Many of us use software that is considered ‘freeware’, that is, free to download from the internet and use. Now PC World has compiled the ‘20 Best’ of this category. Check it out here and see if you can use any!
Here’s a great review of some security programs that can be used to keep your PC safe. They’re not only free, but many of them use less memory than the suites that you and I have to buy, and work better! Read here.
Here’s a list of the 100 best blogs, according to PC World. And no….sadly my blog did not make the list. Maybe next year!
I talked about an article a little while back, here, that discussed the fade resistance of prints. Well now here’s another interesting twist. These folks reviewed the quality of a print using the manufacturer’s ink vs. third party ink (like Cartridge World). Really a pretty interesting comparison…click here.
The bottom line? The third party inks did BETTER than the manufacturer’s own ink for overall picture quality! Think about that the next time you have to run out for more ink for your printer!
I’ll admit this right up front….I’ve only ‘tried’ Vista on a few different computers, so I can’t so too much good or bad about it…yet. I DO know that many dental software companies don’t support Vista and are recommending that we continue using Windows XP. Here’s an interesting review of Vista from a ‘regular’ computer user. After reading it I may continue with XP for a while longer!
We call 411 a handful of times throughout the month for assistance….and I’m amazed at the cost to do it! Well, along comes Google to the rescue. Check out this article about Google’s new 411 service: Google 411
You know we’ll be trying it!!
Here’s a quick article about the type of printer used and a print’s fade resistance. Since I’m into photos, I found this especially interesting.
I still think the type of paper and ink that is used are more important than the brand of printer. Time will tell!!
The tooth is proportioned correctly, but as I mentioned earlier, there’s other factors. The subtle color variations INSIDE the tooth have been maintained. And look at the ‘wavy’ areas that extend down from the gum line to the bottom edge. These have been incorporated, too.
The patient was VERY pleased with the final result…and we were, too!!
With the right combination of different composites, and the right technique, the repair of a fractured tooth can be very esthetic. Here’s that same tooth after it was repaired:
Notice the tooth has the correct size and alignment….but there’s more.
Here’s a different view of the same tooth. Notice the ‘wavy’ appearance of the remaining tooth structure. And the slightly darker appearance the middle of the tooth has versus the outside (this can be seen even better on the other central incisor that isn’t fractured). These are important characteristics to mimic if we hope to repair the tooth and make it look realistic. If not, the added portion will be VERY obvious.
