ConclusionsIn the present study, the frequency of fluoride toothbrushing and the presence of readily visible heavy plaque were the factors most strongly associated with mean caries rate. In young patients with permanent dentition, the daily application of fluoride toothpaste appears more important than emphasis on thorough plaque removal. While for adults, the protective effect of twice daily fluoride toothbrushing disappears with advancing age and the presence of readily visible heavy plaque becomes increasingly associated with caries risk.

Summary Patients with temporomandibular muscle and joint disorder (TMJD) increasingly seek and receive treatment for their pain with botulinum toxin (BoNTA; botulinum toxin A). Used intramuscularly in therapeutic doses, it produces localised paresis. Such paresis creates risk of reduced bone mineral density, or ‘disuse osteopenia’. Animal studies have frequently used BoNTA as a model of paralysis to induce bone changes within short periods. Osteopenic effects can be enduring in animals but have yet to be studied in humans. This is the first study in humans to examine bone?related consequences of BoNTA injections in the masticatory muscles, comparing oral and maxillofacial radiologists’ ratings of trabecular bone patterns in the condyles of patients with TMJD exposed to multiple mas…

After reading the recent editorial titled “Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Training—Practice Pattern Mismatch” in the January issue of the Journal, I was encouraged that this subject is being brought to the forefront at a time when some might believe this is not a pressing issue. Although admittedly I am not certain of the right solution to this problem, looking at it from the academic frontier, the issue of a “mismatch” between the training of the oral-maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) and actual clinical practice is very real, and the frustration of the receding scope of practice of our specialty outside the academic environment is palpable and constantly on my mind. Although some referrals will justifiably be in need of tertiary care at an academic setting, I am constantly asto…
