Is there an association between the presence of dental fluorosis and dental trauma amongst school children?

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar se diferentes graus de fluorose dentária estão associados à presença de traumatismo dentário entre escolares. Trata-se de um estudo transversal conduzido entre escolares de 12 anos. Os exames foram realizados por 24 cirurgiões-dentistas treinados e calibrados. A coleta de dados ocorreu em 36 escolas públicas sorteadas entre as 89 do município. Adotou-se como critério de diagnóstico para fluorose dentária o Índice de Dean e para o traumatismo dentário considerou-se sinais clínicos de fraturas coronárias e avulsão dentária.

An investigation into bisphenol A leaching from materials used intraorally.

CONCLUSIONS: Under the test conditions, BPA was observed to leach from a silicone baby bottle nipple. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Although the quantities of leached BPA were below the reference dose for daily intake, investigators have shown a possible association between low levels of BPA and many medical disorders. BPA exposure, and thus the use of the leaching material identified in this study, should be reduced or eliminated.

CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: There is moderate evidence to support the use of oral NSAIDs-in particular, ibuprofen (600 milligrams)-1 hour before the administration of IANB local anesthetic (1.8-3.6 milliliters of 2% lidocaine) to provide additional analgesia to the patient.

10 Photos That Show What Astronaut Scott Kelly’s First Week Back On Earth Was Like

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly’s 340 days in space were quite magnificent. He got to space walk and take some incredible out-of-this-world photos.  Now that he has returned home, Kelly has been busy enjoying what many of us would find more mundane, such as eating salads and going to the dentist. Since Kelly landed back on Earth on March 2 after nearly a year in space, he has offered an insider’s look at his life on land in photos posted to Instagram. Not only are his daily activities vastly different to life on the International Space Station, but he told CBS News that he also has changed as a person. “I think I’m a little more compassionate now,” Kelly said. “I think it does change you when you spend all this time removed and detached from Earth. And you follow what’s…

Ill-fitting denture alert

New Delhi, April 3: Chronic irritation of the mouth from ill-fitting dentures may be a risk factor for oral cancer, Indian doctors have said after a research review that explored links between chronic mucosal trauma and cancer. Doctors at the Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, said denture-related sores might be colonised by candida, a fungus that may induce chronic inflammation of the mucosa, which has been hypothesised as an oral cancer risk.
