Abstract The cytotoxicity of a dental alloy depends on, but is not limited to, the extent of its corrosion behavior. Individual ions may have effects on cell viability that are different from metals interacting within the alloy structure. We aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity of individual metal ions in concentrations similar to those reported to be released from Pd-based dental alloys on mouse fibroblast cells. Metal salts were used to prepare seven solutions (concentration range 100 ppm–1 ppb) of the transition metals, such as Ni(II), Pd(II), Cu(II), and Ag(I), and the metals, such as Ga(III), In(III), and Sn(II). Cytotoxicity on mouse fibroblasts L929 was evaluated using the MTT assay. Ni, Cu, and Ag are cytotoxic at 10 ppm, Pd and Ga at 100 ppm. Sn and In were not abl…

Conclusions Filling survival was comparably lower to composite restorations observed in prospective clinical studies on permanent teeth and other tooth-colored restoratives used in primary teeth. Due to the very high caries risk and young age of the population, frequent loss due to secondary caries was observed. With respect to the high caries risk, composite restorations can be used to treat carious primary teeth, though a strict caries prevention regimen should be followed to minimize restoration failure. Clinical relevance Filling loss of composites in the primary dentition is associated with secondary caries on the long term. (Source: Clinical Oral Investigations)

In the past, dentists attempted to replace or keep teeth through procedures such as bridges, root canals, and fixed dentures . Unfortunately, bridges require healthy adjacent teeth to be cut down, root canal treated teeth can fail, and dentures can be unstable.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Where on Earth did I put my dentures?” there’s now a scientific reason behind why you did it. New research published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society has linked age-related tooth loss with a decline in physical and cognitive ability.
