Commercial Fuji II and Fuji II LC cements were used as controls for comparison. All the specimens were conditioned in deionized water at 37°C before testing. The results demonstrated that the experimental cement showed lower burst and slower bulk fluoride release than Fuji II and Fuji II LC. The experimental cement absorbed more water t...

Area: Evidence > Medicines Q & A
Chronic toxicity from fluoride ingestion is rare in the UK and other developed countries. The principal sources of potentially excessive fluoride intake are drinking water, in areas where levels are naturally high, and toothpaste ingestion.
US guidance suggests that the tolerable upper limit for fluoride ingestion is 10 mg per day.
Most public water supplies in the UK contain less than 0.7 mg/L fluoride; 10% of supplies are fluoridated to a level of 1.0 mg/L (1 part per million fluoride - ppmF).

Sixteen matrix and patrix cylindrical stud attachments (Locator®) were randomly assigned as in vitro test specimens. Attachment abutments were secured in an implant analogue hung to the digital force gauge or to the load cell of a traction machine used as th...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The present study is the first to investigate the accuracy of stereolithographic, full, mucosally supported surgical guides in the treatment of fully edentulous maxillae. Clinicians should be warned that angular and linear deviations are to be expected. Short implants show significantly lower apical deviations compared with longer ones. Reasons for implant deviations are multifactorial; however, it is unlikely that the production process of the guide has a major impact on the total accuracy of a mucosal-supported stereolithographic guide.

Amid the on-going controversy over the safety of mercury-containing dental fillings, a University of Saskatchewan research team has shed new light on how the chemical forms of mercury at the surface of fillings change over time. Their work, just published in the American Chemical Society journal Chemical Research in Toxicology, shows that the surface forms of mercury in older "silver" fillings (also known as amalgams) may be less toxic than previously thought.

Conclusions. The indirect costs were on average higher than the direct costs, i.e. the patient's loss of time caused higher costs than the intervention per se. Appropriate indications for mandibular third molar removal can minimize the risks of complications and individual or societal costs.

Abstract There is no data concerning the use of the intraseptal anaesthesia (ISA) for single tooth extraction. The aims of this study
were to compare the clinical efficacy and haemodynamic responses of the ISA with the periodontal ligament anaesthesia (PLA)
for single tooth extraction. Thirty-five randomly selected healthy patients (ASA I) undergoing maxillary lateral incisors
extraction entered the study. Onset of anaesthesia, the width of the anaesthetic field and duration of anaesthesia were recorded
by pinprick testing. Intensity of anaesthesia was evaluated on a visual analogue scale. Haemodynamic param...

I have read about PRP and PRGF and have attended lectures on the subject. It seems like the literature establishes a strong case for the benefits of using these in bone grafts to enhance regeneration and healing.

Submerged Implant Fixture: Is this a Problem?Email this article to a colleague.

I placed the implant fixtures too far subgingivally so that the top of the implant platform is 4mm cervical to the adjacent cervical margins. Is this really a problem?

I replaced a missing upper first bicuspid with an implant 6 months prior. The interproximal bone between the dental implant and the cuspid anterior to it was approximately 1.25 mm.

Molecular analysis of aortic intimal hyperplasia caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis infection in mice with endothelial damageEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: We found that bacteremia induced by P. gingivalis leads to intimal hyperplasia associated with overexpressions of S100A9 and SMemb. Our results strongly suggest that oral[ndash]hematogenous spreading of P. gingivalis is a causative event in the development of aortic hyperplasia in periodontitis patients.

Co-purified gelatinases alter the stability and biological activities of human plasma fibronectin preparationsEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The present experiments devised a time- and cost-efficient protocol for eliminating gelatinases during purification of human plasma FN. Gelatinase-free FN preparations had greater stability, which may be essential for experiments because FN fragments have altered biological activities compared with intact FN.

Expression of heat shock proteins, Hsp70 and Hsp25, in the rat gingiva after irradiation with a CO2 laser in coagulation modeEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The CO2 laser treatment in coagulation mode produced the expression of heat shock proteins, and the findings suggest that while Hsp70 mainly conferred cell protection, Hsp25 was involved in the progress of wound repair as well as cell protection.
