Minneapolis Dentists, Shamblott Family Dentistry, Ease the Pain and Cost of Emergency Dental Procedures

Minneapolis Dentists, Shamblott Family Dentistry, Ease the Pain and Cost of Emergency Dental Procedures

Accidents happen. In the event of a dental emergency, finding a qualified, experienced dentist is a crucial step in preserving your smile and dental health.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) December 7, 2009

One local Minneapolis Dentist (http://www. shamblottfamilydentistry. com/) is taking a stand against the high prices and inconvenience of emergency dental procedures. Whether a tooth is cracked, loosened, or knocked out, the first 30 minutes after an injury occurs can be crucial to preserving the aesthetics and health of your smile.

"One in four people in the U. S. will have an oral injury in their lifetime. Many of these dental emergencies could be avoided by taking precautions such as wearing a mouth guard during sports and recreation or by staying away from hard foods like candy that can crack teeth," says Scott Shamblott, DDS. "Accidents do happen, however, and it is important to know what actions to take immediately."

In the event of a dental emergency, contacting your dentist or a local emergency dentist is critical. The dentist will be able to give you advice over the phone, and, if applicable, schedule an emergency appointment. During an emergency appointment, the dentist will be able to advise you on the next steps required for repairing your damage. If required, they will also be able to take X-rays to gain a complete understanding of the damage.

"Dental emergencies (http://www. shamblottfamilydentistry. com/dental_emergencies. php) are physically and emotionally painful," says Shamblott. "It is bad enough that you might have to alter your eating habits and routine until the issue is resolved; you shouldn’t have to pay extra for the required preliminary dental work. That is why we provide free emergency dental consultations, exams and X-rays. We want to fix your problem, but we also want to make sure it’s done properly."

Handling everything from chipped, fractured, and lost teeth to broken denture plates, Scott Shamblott has worked with countless patients to repair their dental injuries and restore their smiles. If you or someone you know has a dental emergency, be sure to contact a dental specialist quickly to help increase the chances of saving a tooth.

About Shamblott Family Dentistry: Shamblott Family Dentistry (http://www. shamblottfamilydentistry. com/ (http://www. shamblottfamilydentistry. com/)) is a Hopkins dental office specializing in general, cosmetic, emergency and sedation dentistry (http://www. shamblottfamilydentistry. com/sedation_dentistry. php).

Chart Links To Integrate Pistolstar's Authentication Security Solution with Therapy Software

Chart Links To Integrate Pistolstar's Authentication Security Solution with Therapy Software

Integration of Password Authentication and Security Solution with Outpatient Rehabilitation Software Will Allow Chart Links' Customers to Strengthen Authentication Processes by Providing Self-Service Password Management to End-Users and Functionality to Administrators Who Need to Meet Security Initiatives

New Haven, CT (PRWEB) August 19, 2008

Chart Links LLC, a provider of outpatient medical rehabilitation software, and PistolStar, Inc., a provider of password management solutions integrating Microsoft Active Directory®, enterprise single sign-on and stronger authentication, today announces plans to integrate PistolStar's Password Power 8 Web Set Password Plug-In with Chart Links' product. The browser-based password authentication and security solution will help Chart Links' physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology and audiology customers to better protect patient information by more strictly securing password authentication and management processes.

"Our first priority in automating password management for our customers is to ensure that they are able to meet or exceed facility and industry security initiatives," says Ron Miller, M. D., President and Chief Medical Officer of Chart Links. "Next up, we want to simplify the user experience by allowing single password access to Windows®, LDAP and Chart Links applications. Finally, we expect to dramatically reduce the volume of Help Desk calls regarding password resets."

Chart Links Rehabilitation Software is used in charting patient progress for medical rehabilitation. It handles the entire outpatient rehabilitation workflow including scheduling, insurance authorization, referral management, treatment documentation, charges, outcomes, reporting, and compliance.

"To enable Chart Links to provide its customers the means to secure access to sensitive data and meet the security requirements of HIPAA and other initiatives is gratifying," states Thomas Hoey, president and CEO at PistolStar, Inc. "Web Set Password not only secures the authentication process, but increases productivity by allowing end-users to perform self-service password resets and eliminating the administrators' burden of resetting forgotten passwords and managing multiple user accounts."

Web Set Password enhances security by providing stronger authentication features such as authentication with username, password and challenge question and answer to gain access; multiple challenge questions for self-service password reset and recovery; and configurable strike-out limits by person, group or hierarchy. Securing access to critical data, Web Set Password 8 prevents multiple users from logging in with the same credentials, validates password strength during login, enables password expiration intervals, and restricts the frequency with which a previously used password can be re-used.

Cognis QTA Test Method to be Included in ASTM D6751 Biodiesel Specification

Cognis QTA Test Method to be Included in ASTM D6751 Biodiesel Specification

Rapid analysis of methanol content in biodiesel passes ASTM main committee ballot for inclusion in biodiesel specification

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) December 15, 2010

ASTM Main Committee D02 passed the ballot this week for the inclusion of the AOCS standard procedure Ck 2-09, the QTA System method, as an approved method within the biodiesel B100 specification D6751, for the properties of methanol content. The revised D6751, with Ck 2-09 included, will be published in early 2011 and methanol analyses conducted by the QTA System will qualify under the D6751 specification and can be used by BQ-9000 facilities.

The AOCS standard procedure provides a rapid alternative to existing wet chemical and chromatographic methods, and has improved precision when compared to these existing methods. The Ck 2-09 standard procedure, as implemented in the QTA System marketed by Cognis, underwent multiple round robin studies and statistical analysis to compare to the existing methods, and these data, combined with the results of several years’ participation in the ASTM Crosscheck Program, formed the basis of the ballot justification. The properties of total and free glycerin and cloud point passed subcommittee ballot earlier this week, and will be balloted to the Main Committee D02 in early 2011.

Barbara Stefl, Global Business Director for the QTA Business at Cognis, stated “the balloting process at ASTM ensured that the QTA System method was fully vetted through rigid ASTM statistical protocols. It is gratifying to see that the QTA method exceeds the precision of current approved methods and that the subcommittee, through its passage of the ballot, recognizes the usefulness of a rapid method for the biodiesel industry.”

Cognis’ patented QTA System provides biodiesel analysis using infrared spectroscopy. All analyses can be conducted using a single drop of biodiesel, with no sample preparation or use of chemical reagents. The results are available within 2 minutes. Since its 2006 launch, the QTA System has conducted about 2 million biodiesel tests for its customers.
