Influences of multiple tooth?loss on signal travel in the insular cortex of rats
The insular cortex (IC) processes various kinds of sensory and emotional information. Multiple tooth?loss induces impairment of oral sensory and motor functions, which might result in the up? or down?regulation of signal processing in the IC. In the present study, we investigated how multiple tooth?loss affects neural activities in the IC. Slices of the IC were prepared from control (untreated) rats and rats raised following the loss of their upper molar teeth, and optical recordings with voltage?sensitive dye were made. Electrical stimulation was delivered to the agranular IC (AIC). The velocity of optical signal from the AIC to the granular IC (GIC) decreased in multiple tooth?loss rats compared with control rats. Field potentials from the GIC were recorded. Onset times of ev…

Evidence-based recommendation on toothpaste use
Toothpaste can be used as a vehicle for substances to improve the oral health of individuals and populations. Therefore, it should be recommended based on the best scientific evidence available, and not on the opinion of authorities or specialists. Fluoride is the most important therapeutic substance used in toothpastes, adding to the effect of mechanical toothbrushing on dental caries control. The use of fluoride toothpaste to reduce caries in children and adults is strongly based on evidence, and is dependent on the concentration (minimum of 1000 ppm F) and frequency of fluoride toothpaste use (2’/day or higher). The risk of dental fluorosis due to toothpaste ingestion by children has been overestimated, since there is no evidence that: 1) fluoride toothpaste use should be postponed unti…
