Health Of Gums Improves With Weight Loss
Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine researchers found the human body is better at fighting gum disease when fat cells, which trigger inflammation, disappear. Findings come from a pilot study of 31 obese people with gum disease. Half of the group with an average body mass index (BMI) of 39 had gastric bypass surgery and had fat cells from the abdomen removed…

Detection of vertical root fractures in nonâ?endodontically treated molars using coneâ?beam computed tomography: a report of four representative cases
Abstractâ??â??â?? Vertical root fractures (VRFs) in teeth without endodontic treatment are relatively uncommon. The diagnosis is based on clinical and radiographic presentations. It might be difficult to detect VRFs in nonâ?endodontically treated molars by conventional radiographs in certain situations because of the limitations of 2D images and many others factors such as the VRFs being in their early stages. Root morphology variation and the orientation of VRFs can influence conventional radiographic detection and the interpretation of a radiolucent fracture line. The four case reports presented here describe and discuss the use of coneâ?beam computed tomography (CBCT) in successfully diagnosing VRFs based on direct visualization of radiolucent lines, especially those suspected from ro…

Prediction and diagnosis of clinical outcomes affecting restoration margins
Summaryâ?? The longevity of dental restorations is largely dependent on the continuity at the interface between the restorative material and adjacent tooth structure (the restoration margin). Clinical decisions on restoration repair or replacement are usually based upon the weakest point along that margin interface. Physical properties of a restorative material, such as polymerisation shrinkage, water sorption, solubility, elastic modulus and shear strength, all have an effect on stress distribution and can significantly affect margin integrity. This review will focus on two aspects of margin deterioration in the oral environment: the in vitro testing of margin seal using emersion techniques to simulate the oral environment and to predict clinical margin failure and the relationship betwee…

Need Something To Do Thursday?
Teeth are important. If they weren’t, why would the elderly go to the trouble of pasting dentures to their gums and soaking them next to their beds every night? Without teeth, we’d all be stuck with liquid diets.
