Quantitative evaluation of toothbrush and arm-joint motion during tooth brushing
Conclusions This study quantitatively confirmed that dental hygienists have individual distinctive rhythms during tooth brushing. All arm joints moved synchronously during brushing, and tooth brushing motion was controlled by coordinated movement of the joints. The elbow generated an individual’s frequency through a stabilizing movement. Clinical relevance The shoulder and wrist control the hand motion, and the elbow generates the cyclic rhythm during tooth brushing. (Source: Clinical Oral Investigations)

Oral Signs and HLA-DQB1?02 Haplotypes in the Celiac Paediatric Patient: A Preliminary Study.
Authors: Erriu M, Abbate GM, Pili FM, Novara F, Orrù G, Montaldo C, Piras V, Levrini L Abstract Celiac disease (CD) diagnosis can be extremely challenging in the case of atypical patterns. In this context, oral signs seem to play a decisive role in arousing suspicion of these forms of the disease.
