The Detection of Simulated Periapical Lesions in Human Dry Mandibles with Cone Beam Computed Tomography ? A Dose Reduction Study
ConclusionsUsing dose reduction with 360° and 180° CBCT scans demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy in the detection of simulated periapical lesions while reducing the radiation dose by 54%, and 51% respectively compared to conventional settings. Clinical evaluation is now needed to determine whether this is applicable to patients.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: International Endodontic Journal)

Pulpal Remineralisation of Artificial Residual Caries Lesions in vitro
We assessed pulpal remineralisation of caries lesions in vitro. On the coronal aspect of human dentin discs (n = 70), artificial lesions [mineral loss #x0394;Z (mean ± SD) = 3,060 ± 604 vol% × µm] were induced, covered and pulpal surfaces exposed to pulpal fluid, remineralisation medium or water at pressures of 0, 1.47 or 2.94 kPa for 3 months. Mineral loss differences were assessed using transversal microradiography. No significant mineral gain occurred at 0 kPa and in samples exposed to water. At 1.47 and 2.94 kPa, pulpal and remineralisation fluid induced significant mineral gain [#x0394;#x0394;Z = 1,317 (25th/75th percentiles: 735/1,541) vol% × µm; p < 0.001]. Pressure and fluid composition determined pulpal remineralisation in vitro.Caries Res 2015;49:591-594 (Source: Caries Res...

Missing teeth are a problem that dentists have been working to fix for generations. While dentures can improve the appearance and the function of a patient’s mouth, “traditional dentures often entail messy adhesives, can cause irritation along the gum line, and may cause a feeling of ‘slippage’ that impairs your ability to speak, eat, and drink with ease,” says Dr. Trichas.
