A common test used to determine mercury exposure from dental amalgam fillings may significantly overestimate the amount of the toxic metal released from fillings, according to University of Michigan researchers. Scientists agree that dental amalgam fillings slowly release mercury vapor into the mouth…

Biological agents and cell therapies in periodontal regeneration
Regeneration of periodontal structures is a complex challenge for periodontal wound healing. As by Wikesjö et?al. in this issue, wound space provision, primary stability, and healing by primary intention serve as critical factors for attempts to regenerate the periodontium. Barrier membranes for space maintenance can be cumbersome to use in a clinical setting and have proven to provide only partial success in regenerative therapies. Not surprisingly, investigators and clinicians have started to search for biological molecules and cell technologies that could help to either speed up or modify the healing process that depends on migration and differentiation of several different cell populations. In this chapter, we will briefly review the technologies that are currently in use or in clin…

Periodontal regeneration: experimental observations—clinical consequences
Biologic evidence thus far points to the presence of cells originating from the periodontal ligament, wound stability, space?provision, and primary intention healing as central biologic and clinical factors that must be afforded to a site to obtain periodontal regeneration. Only profound appreciation of these biological and clinical variables affecting the outcome of periodontal regenerative procedures will allow clinicians to proficiently manipulate them to optimize the clinical result and elevate predictability of periodontal regenerative therapy.
