The Welsh Government has accepted the recommendations on pay from the NHS pay review body and the review body on doctors’ and dentists’ remuneration. It means that NHS Wales employees will receive a 1 per cent rise, while 7,000 staff currently on the Living Wage will also see their pay increase to the new Living Wage hourly rate of £8.25 per hour.

3D evaluation of mandibular skeletal changes in juvenile arthritis patients treated with a distraction splint: A retrospective follow-up.
CONCLUSION: ? The orthopedic functional treatment for patients with JIA allows for condylar adaptation and modeling, thereby hindering, although with a widely variable response, a further worsening of the asymmetry. Unilateral affection has a possible influence on the growth of the nonaffected side. PMID: 27003225 [PubMed – as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Angle Orthodontist)

It all started with a request no technician ever gets: “Can you make a set of dentures that will fall out?” Since the request came from a dentist-client's patient who also happened to be a makeup artist in the film industry, Gary Archer, Owner of AA Dental Lab, Woodland Hills, CA, was intrigued and decided to give it a try.

Synchrotron-radiation-based X-ray micro-computed tomography reveals dental bur debris under dental composite restorations
Dental burs are used extensively in dentistry to mechanically prepare tooth structures for restorations (fillings), yet little has been reported on the bur debris left behind in the teeth, and whether it poses potential health risks to patients. Here it is aimed to image dental bur debris under dental fillings, and allude to the potential health hazards that can be caused by this debris when left in direct contact with the biological surroundings, specifically when the debris is made of a non-biocompatible material. Non-destructive micro-computed tomography using the BioMedical Imaging & Therapy facility 05ID-2 beamline at the Canadian Light Source was pursued at 50?keV and at a pixel size of 4?µm to image dental bur fragments under a composite resin dental filling. The bur’s cutting …
