NIDCR invites you to a scientific symposium: “Autotherapies: Enhancing Our Innate Healing Capacity” Thursday, January 25, 8:00 am-12:00 pm Lipsett Amphitheater in the NIH Clinical Center (Building 10)NIH Campus, Bethesda, Md. Autotherapies are treatments based on the body’s natural ability to heal and protect itself. For example, immunotherapy harnesses the body’s immune cells to fight cancer and is now in clinical use. In the dental, oral, and craniofacial region, autotherapies could be used to selectively signal the body to repair and regenerate tissue, trigger immune responses, and re…

Bond strength of universal adhesives to air-abraded zirconia ceramics.
J Oral Sci. 2017;59(4):565-570. doi: 10.2334/josnusd.16-0666.AbstractThe bond strength of universal adhesives to air-abraded zirconia ceramic was evaluated. Overall, 40 zirconia ceramic blocks with dimensions of 6 × 6 × 4 mm were cut from pre-sintered blanks. The sintered blocks were embedded in self-cured acrylic resin. The zirconia blocks were then randomly allocated to four groups (n = 10) in which different universal adhesives were used, except for the control group in which no universal adhesive w as used. A silicon mold was used to build the resin cement. All specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 h at 37°C and mounted on a universal testing machine. They were then subjected to shear bond strength testing at a cross-speed of 0.5 mm/min until failure occurred. The failure …

UCLA School of Dentistry receives $1.5 million for community-based education
The UCLA School of Dentistry has received a $ 1.5 million grant from the state ’s largest dental benefits provider, Delta Dental of California, to support launching a community-based clinical education program. The award, which will support UCLA student dentists to care for some of the most vulnerable patients in California, is the largest that Delta Dental has ever given a dental school.Many Californians face inadequate access to oral health care services for many reasons. The biggest challenges are the uneven distribution of providers, underfunded public health programs, lack of understanding of the importance of oral health and difficulty in identifying available resources.“This funding enables the dental school and Delta Dental to have an even stronger presence in bridging the gap w…

New Dental Material Can Resist Biofilm Growth And Kills Bacteria
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed an antibacterial resin for dental procedures such as cavity fillings. They hope that the material can provide improved fillings that resist tooth decay and last longer. Conventional materials for dental fillings are prone to being covered in plaque, a sticky biofilm that can lead to tooth decay and filling failure. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are working on developing something better. “Dental biomaterials such as these,” said Geelsu Hwang, a researcher involved in the study, “need to achieve two goals: first, they should kill pathogenic microbes effectively, and, second, they need to withstand severe mechanical stress, as happens when we bite and chew.” Hwang and his colleagues have developed a new dent…
