🚫 Aesthetic Restoration with Dental Composites

When dental caries progresses, it can severely damage the tooth structure, affecting both function and appearance. Thanks to advances in modern composite resins, it is now possible to restore the natural shape, color, and function of even highly compromised teeth, as shown in this case.

Composite restorations provide a minimally invasive solution that blends seamlessly with the natural tooth, giving patients not only improved oral health but also the confidence to smile again.

👉 Prevention through good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups remains the best way to avoid such complex treatments.

PNP ACG
SMC No. 1013

𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐥𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐨

On September 3, 2025, at about 2:30 PM in Sta. Barbara, Iloilo, operatives of the Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit 6 conducted an entrapment operation that led to the arrest of a 23-year-old woman, alias "Toyang," for offering unauthorized dental services online.

"Toyang" is facing charges for violation of Section 33 of RA No. 9484 (Philippine Dental Act of 2007) in relation to Section 6 of RA No. 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012).

Brigadier General Bernard R. Yang, Acting Director of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, commended the unit for the successful operation. "Unlicensed medical services online endanger public health and trust. The PNP ACG strongly warns individuals against posing as professionals without the proper authority. We remain firm in our mission to protect the public from these deceptive and dangerous practices," he said.

🚫 Periapical Lesions: The Silent Damage Hidden in Untreated Dental Abscesses

This skull offers a striking example of the destructive power of untreated dental infections. Around the first molars of both the upper (maxillary) and lower (mandibular) arches, we can clearly see periapical lesions—dark, hollow areas caused by long-standing abscesses.

Periapical lesions form when bacteria from deep dental caries or pulp necrosis spread beyond the root canal into the surrounding bone. Without treatment, the infection causes chronic inflammation, bone resorption, and destruction of surrounding tissues. Over time, this can compromise the stability of the teeth, leading to pain, swelling, tooth loss, and even systemic complications such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes aggravation, or in rare cases, life-threatening sepsis.

What makes this case so impactful is how visibly the lesions have altered the bone structure—an unmistakable reminder of why endodontic treatment or extraction is essential once an abscess is diagnosed.

👉 This image is not just a look into the past, but a lesson for modern dentistry: prevention, early diagnosis, and timely treatment are critical in protecting oral and overall health.
