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.

Histological assessment of hard and soft tissues surrounding a novel ceramic implant: a pilot study in the minipig.

CONCLUSIONS: Within the limits of this pilot study, no difference was found between the ceramic implant with ZLA(®) surface and a titanium implant in terms of bone tissue integration. Furthermore, the epithelial attachment favored this ceramic implant over titanium. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Clinical efficacy of probiotic as an adjunctive therapy to non-surgical periodontal treatment of chronic periodontitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, the findings of this meta-analysis seem to support the adjunctive use of L.reuteri to SRP in CP treatment at short-term, especially in deep pockets. Heterogeneity and limited available data may reduce the impact of these conclusions. Future long-term RCTs evaluating the clinical efficacy of adjunctive probiotics to SRP are needed.
