Reductions in Dental Decay in 3-Year Old Children in Greater Glasgow and Clyde: Repeated Population Inspection Studies over Four Years.

The objective of this study was to examine dental inspection data from three-year old children to assess the extent to which the dental health in Greater Glasgow and Clyde had improved during the initial years of the Childsmile intervention programme.
Methods:
Dental inspections of three-year old children in Greater Glasgow and Clyde were undertaken in the academic years of 2006/7 and 2007/8 (the baseline years), and again in 2008/9 and 2009/10 (after the intervention had begun).

The effect of Emdogain® and platelet-derived growth factor on the osteoinductive potential of hydroxyapatite tricalcium phosphate

Abstract  The aim of this study was to determine whether hydroxyapatite β-tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP) either alone or coated with
Emdogain® (EMD) or recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB) becomes osteoinductive in the murine thigh
muscle model for osteoinduction. Twenty CD1 adult male mice had gelatin capsules implanted into the thigh muscle of both hind
limbs. The capsules were either empty or contained one of the following: uncoated particulate HA-TCP, EMD-coated HA-TCP or
rhPDGF-BB-coated HA-TCP. The implant sites were assessed histologically at 4 and 8 weeks. A semi-quantitative histological
examination was performed to assess the inflammatory changes, reparative processes and osteoinduction within the graft site.
At both 4 and 8 w…
