I have been making dentures and partials for Affordable Dentures Dental Laboratories since 2002 and have recently graduated from Ashford University in 2014 with a BA in Healthcare Administration and a Minor in Human Resources. I recently received my CDT in August, 2015 and I thoroughly enjoy giving people a reason to smile.
Chemokine expression of oral fibroblasts and epithelial cells in response to artificial saliva
Conclusions Saliva Orthana® stimulated chemokine expression in gingival fibroblasts. Mammalian mucins, but also possible contaminations with endotoxins, might contribute to the respective changes in gene expression. Epithelial cells have a differential response to artificial saliva with Glandosane® changing CXCL8 expression. Clinical relevance Artificial saliva can incite a cellular response, if however the changing expression of chemokines by isolated fibroblasts and epithelial cells in vitro translates into a clinical condition, is not clear.

Elevated transglutaminase-2 expression mediates fibrosis in areca quid chewing-associated oral submucocal fibrosis via reactive oxygen species generation
Conclusions Our results suggest that TGM-2 expression is significantly upregulated in OSF tissues from areca quid chewers. Arecoline-upregulated TGM-2 expression may be mediated by ROS generation. Clinical relevance TGM-2 protein is upregulated in areca quid chewing-associated OSF. Using this in vitro model, antioxidants could inhibit arecoline-upregulated TGM-2 expression. NAC and EGCG may serve as a useful agent in controlling OSF. (Source: Clinical Oral Investigations)

Dental prostheses mimic the natural enamel behavior under functional loading: A review article
Publication date: Available online 1 September 2015 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review Author(s): Ahmed A. Madfa, Xiao-Guang Yue Alumina- and zirconia-based ceramic dental restorations are designed to repair functionality as well as esthetics of the failed teeth. However, these materials exhibited several performance deficiencies such as fracture, poor esthetic properties of ceramic cores (particularly zirconia cores), and difficulty in accomplishing a strong ceramic–resin-based cement bond. Therefore, improving the mechanical properties of these ceramic materials is of great interest in a wide range of disciplines. Consequently, spatial gradients in surface composition and structure can improve the mechanical integrity of ceramic dental restorations. Thus, this article reviews th…

Three-dimensional evaluation of the pharyngeal airway using cone-beam computed tomography following bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in skeletal class III patients
Conclusion Bimaxillary surgery significantly affects PAS. Gender differences should also be considered when considering changes in PAS. Clinical relevance An awareness of the effects of bimaxillary setback surgery on the airway should be considered when implementing an orthognathic treatment plan.
