Numb earEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Local, distant, and systemic complications can occur after local anesthetic administration, although this procedure is considered safe overall. Distant complications occur when the local anesthetic affects nerves other than the target. The result is temporary paralysis of other nerves and the structures they innervate. Paralysis of the auriculotemporal nerve during an inferior alveolar nerve block was reported.

Gingival recessionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In gingival recession the gingival margin is displaced away from the cementoenamel junction, exposing the root. This not only compromises the esthetics but may result in hypersensitivity and root caries. Multiple factors contribute to the development of gingival recession. Tooth brushing has been proposed as a contributing factor by causing gingival abrasions, but the evidence is inconclusive. Power toothbrushes (PTs) provide significant advantages for oral health with respect to plaque removal and reduced gingivitis over manual toothbrushes (MTs). However, it is possible that these devices, with their higher plaque-removi...

Mesioangular third molarsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Removal of mesioangular wisdom teeth that have partially or fully erupted used to be a routine procedure even if no disease was present. When these teeth are left in place, the risk of distal caries in a second molar is increased. However, the available evidence does not clearly support this procedure; hence, many third molars are being left in place. The prevalence of caries in wisdom teeth and second molars was investigated, noting whether caries is more likely with a certain angulation of the mesioangular third molar.

Force, duration, and painEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Orthodontic treatment produces pain according to 95% of the patients undergoing this therapy, especially during the first 7 days. Light forces have been used during orthodontic tooth movement in an attempt to control pain, but orthodontic force magnitude has not been causally linked to resulting discomfort. The optimal orthodontic force should produce a maximum rate of tooth movement while avoiding tissue damage or discomfort. Clinical studies have identified a wide range of initial forces, ranging from 20 to 200 cN, but few have noted biologically active tooth movement with a force of 20 cN. An investigation was designed ...

Preoperative occlusal matrixEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Resin composite materials offer the advantages of minimizing sound tooth structure removal for retention, providing good esthetics, reinforcing remaining tooth structure, and increased fracture resistance in restorations. Their drawbacks include the amount of time and skill needed to reestablish the patient's occlusal morphology. The preoperative occlusal matrix technique was developed to allow the final resin composite restoration to copy the original morphology and occlusion, require little or no finishing and polymerization, minimize the degree of flash at restorative margins, and provide an optimally polymerized occlus...

Marginal overhangEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Overhanging restorations encourage accumulation of bacterial plaque and contribute to the development of local periodontitis. Overhang formation is related to the type of restoration material and matrix technique, with flowable materials leading to higher percentages of marginal overhangs in beveled cavities. More viscous materials are also associated with higher percentages of underfilled margins in beveled box-shaped cavities. Clinically, most approximal composite resin restorations have marginal overhang, depending on the anatomy of the restored tooth. Restorative dentistry aims to re-establish a tight proximal contact ...

Chronic droolingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In salivary incontinence or drooling, the production of saliva is usually normal but the coordinated control mechanism for the orofacial and palatolingual muscles is disrupted. As a result, saliva pools in the anterior mouth and slips through the mouth. The drooling of healthy infants is normal, but this should cease at about age 18 months and is considered abnormal beyond age 4 years. Drooling can cause functional, social, psychological, and clinical effects, with breakdown of the perioral skin, infections, disturbances of speech and eating, and even aspiration-related and pulmonary problems. The assessment and treatment ...

Future of dental compositesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Resin-based dental materials offer the advantages of being esthetically pleasing, stable within the oral environment, relatively easy to handle, and set on demand with light curing. Disadvantages include polymerization shrinkage, potential failure at the resin-dentin interface and secondary caries, relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion, and relatively low wear resistance. Research has been done to eliminate these disadvantages and prepare for uses in the future. The developments include nanotechnology, antimicrobial properties, stimuli-responsive materials, self-repairing materials, and tissue-regenerating materials.

Consumer products and oral traumaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Pediatric traumatic dental injuries occur in the United States with a prevalence of 4.1%–58.6% and cost between $3 and $4 million each year. To craft effective preventive measures it is necessary to understand the epidemiology of these dental injuries. The most common mechanisms already identified include falls at home, motor vehicle crashes, bicycle-related injuries, sports, playground equipment injuries, and physical contact (being struck). An investigation looked for any association between specific consumer products and activities and pediatric dental injuries treated in hospital emergency departments across the United States.

Bisphenol A in dental materialsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The news media have bombarded the public with reports of the toxic chemical bisphenol A (BPA) and how it leaches out of plastic linings of cans and plastic bottles into the environment. BPA contamination has been found in foods, beverages, baby's formula, and various pit-and-fissure dental sealants and composite restorations. BPA is linked to possible neurological and developmental effects in fetuses, infants, and children. To protect ourselves and future generations, it is important to understand BPA and what can be done to decrease exposure to its toxic effects.

Single gutta-percha point fillingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Root canal obturation is designed to completely seal the root canal system three dimensionally so that bacterial infection will not recur. If microleakage between the root canal and the periapical tissues is inhibited, the flow of nutrients to any surviving microorganisms should be cut off and no toxic bacterial products should escape. Achieving a tight seal using gutta-percha can be difficult with the lateral condensation technique and runs the risk of fracturing the root should too much pressure be applied. Gutta-percha does not degrade with time, but sealers do, so the best technique should minimize the amount of sealer...

Endodontists placing implantsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The published data supports endodontic treatment as an appropriate restoration for many teeth, but dentists frequently choose implant therapy based on the perceived predictability of osseointegration and long-term success rates. This course could change the scope of endodontic practice. The American Association of Endodontists has not published a position statement aligning implant placement under the scope of endodontic practice, although some endodontists are performing it. It is not clear whether most endodontists wish to include implant placement in their practice. Endodontists' opinions about whether implant placement...

Acidic beverages versus acquired pellicleEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The most common cause for dental erosion in Western societies is dietary, specifically, the consumption of acidic beverages, including fruit juices, soft drinks, and sports drinks. These effects are related to pH, differential buffer concentration, undissociated acid concentration, amount of acidic fluid, mineral and protein components, ionic strength, chelating properties, and flow rate of the acidic beverages. Most investigations of dental erosion have focused on in vitro enamel samples. The oral cavity has two natural barriers to erosive mineral loss: saliva and the salivary pellicle. The pellicle is a proteinaceous la...

Lubricating to prevent wearEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
With more and more older adults in the population and an increasing number of them retaining their natural teeth, dentists are being presented with extensive wear cases. In addition, younger patients are increasingly showing signs of wear in both their primary and their permanent teeth. Early detection and prevention before restorative methods are needed should be the focus of clinical management. Fluoride can protect tooth structure from severe erosion at pH levels down to 2.0, but is unable to protect enamel at pH 1.2. Enamel and dentin can be protected against toothbrush abrasion and erosion at a pH of 3.0, but attritio...
