A comparative assessment of enamel mineral content and Streptococcus mutans population between conventional composites and composites containing nano amorphous calcium phosphate in fixed orthodontic patients: a split-mouth randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSION: NACP-containing composites have the potential to inhibit mineral content loss and S.mutans colonization around orthodontic brackets during fixed orthodontic treatments. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This trial was not registered. PROTOCOL: The protocol was not published before trial commencement.

A survey of general dentists regarding orthodontic retention procedures.
CONCLUSIONS: Swiss general dentists have good knowledge of orthodontic retention and follow-up procedures. Nevertheless, introduction of clinical guidelines including information on the possible side-effects of bonded retention is justified.

Bleeding after tooth extraction in patients taking aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix®) compared with healthy controls
The risk of perioperative bleeding is high in patients who take aspirin and clopidogrel after a percutaneous coronary intervention, and whether to stop the drugs is a matter of concern for dentists. The aim of this study was to answer the specific question: should aspirin and clopidogrel bisulphate (Plavix®) be discontinued during a conventional forceps extraction? We studied 64 patients during the first year after percutaneous insertion of coronary stents who were taking aspirin (ASA) 80mg and clopidogrel (Plavix®) 75mg, and 50 healthy patients who were to have a conventional forceps extraction at this polyclinic in 2013-2014and acted as controls.

Oral Cancer and Cancer Stem Cells: Relevance to Oral Cancer Risk Factors, Premalignant Lesions, and Treatment
Abstract Cancer stem cells are recognized as the most critical cancer cells. They are responsible for cancer progression, the development of metastasis, and treatment failures. There are a number of well-studied surface proteins and enzymatic processes that can be used to isolate cancer stem cells from the bulk of the other cancer cells. The role of cancer stems cells in premalignant lesions of the oral cancer is poorly understood but slowly evolving. Novel therapies are being developed to more effectively eradicate cancer stem cells and improve patient outcomes. Efforts to improve our understanding of this important subpopulation of cancer cells is vital in directing further studies to advance our ability to prevent patients from developing oral cancer and to providing more effec…
