Perspectives on next steps in classification of oro?facial pain – part 1: role of ontology
Summary The purpose of this study was to review existing principles of oro?facial pain classifications and to specify design recommendations for a new system that would reflect recent insights in biomedical classification systems, terminologies and ontologies. The study was initiated by a symposium organised by the International RDC/TMD Consortium Network in March 2013, to which the present authors contributed. The following areas are addressed: problems with current classification approaches, status of the ontological basis of pain disorders, insufficient diagnostic aids and biomarkers for pain disorders, exploratory nature of current pain terminology and classification systems, and problems with prevailing classification methods from an ontological perspective.

Dental treatment under general anesthesia for special?needs patients: analysis of the literature
Abstract The aim of the present review was to identify the studies published on dental treatment under general anesthesia for special?needs patients.

Keywords used in the search were “dental treatment under general anesthesia”, “special?needs patients”, “medically?compromised patients”, and “children”, in various combinations.

Age range from 1 to 50 years, and restorative procedures, were most prevalent. Only two studies discussed repeated general anesthesia, with rates of 7.2% and 10.2%. Over …

PRGF exerts a cytoprotective role in zoledronic acid-treated oral cells
Conclusions PRGF shows a cytoprotective role against the negative effects of ZA on primary oral cells. Clinical relevance At present, there is no definitive treatment for bisphosphonates-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), being mainly palliatives. Our results revealed that PRGF has a cytoprotective role in cells exposed to zoledronic acid, thus providing a reliable adjunctive therapy for the treatment of BRONJ pathology.

Drilling Deeper into Toothbrushing Skills: is Proactive Interference an Under-Recognized Factor in Oral Hygiene Behavior Change?
Abstract Proper toothbrushing is a seemingly simple motor activity that can promote oral health. Applying health theories, such as the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model, motivational interviewing (MI), and integrative health coaching (IHC), may help optimize toothbrushing technique in those with sub-optimal skills. Some motor activities, including toothbrushing, may over time become rote and unconscious actions, such that an existing habit can inhibit new learning, i.e., exert proactive interference on learning the new skill. Proactive interference may impede the acquisition of new toothbrushing skills; thus, in this report, we (1) review how the habit of toothbrushing is formed, (2) postulate how proactive interference could impede the establishment of proper t…
