SMART Protocol Amalgam Filling Removal
The SMART Protocol is a specialized safety procedure designed to protect both patients and dental professionals from mercury exposure during the removal of existing dental amalgam (silver-colored) fillings.
Vacuum-Retained Complete Denture
Protezin alt yüzeyi ile diş eti/damak arasında hava girmeyecek şekilde bir sızdırmazlık sağlanır. Bu da bir “vakum etkisi” oluşturarak protezin daha iyi tutunmasını sağlar. Daha hassas ölçü, kenarların özel şekillendirilmesi (border molding) gerekir.

Dr. Dt. Tuba Ulucanlar
After graduating from the Faculty of Dentistry at Ankara University in 1995, I began my doctoral studies in the Department of Prosthodontics in the same year. Throughout my academic career, I specialized in prosthodontics, combining scientific research with extensive clinical practice.
In 2000, I joined the Ankara Health Clinic of the Şekerbank Foundation as a Dentist. Between 2009 and 2017, I served as Chief Dentist, overseeing clinical management, patient care services, and the development of healthcare quality standards.
I also taught undergraduate courses as a visiting lecturer at Başkent University. Since 2022, I have continued my academic career as an Assistant Professor at the International Cyprus University.
A Holistic Approach to Treatment
Treatment protocols are developed in accordance with current scientific evidence and evidence-based clinical approaches, with equal emphasis on functional stability, biological compatibility, and aesthetic harmony. By prioritizing minimally invasive techniques, the preservation of natural tissues remains at the forefront of treatment planning, while long-term and predictable outcomes are pursued. This holistic approach provides a sustainable model of care that enhances patient comfort, satisfaction, and overall treatment experience at every stage of the process.
Evidence-Based and Systematic Treatment Planning
Oral health treatment processes are approached through a systematic evaluation based on the principles of evidence-based dentistry. Each patient's clinical findings, medical history, and individual needs are comprehensively assessed to develop personalized treatment plans guided by current scientific evidence. This approach aims not only to address existing pathologies but also to understand their underlying etiology and reduce the risk of recurrence through preventive and long-term treatment strategies.
