Complete or ultraconservative removal of decayed tissue in unfilled teethEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Background: The treatment of deep dental decay has traditionally involved removal of all the soft demineralized dentine before a filling is placed. However, this has been challenged in three groups of studies which involve sealing soft caries into the tooth. The three main groups either remove no caries and seal the decay into the tooth, remove minimal (ultraconservative) caries at the entrance to a cavity and seal the remaining caries in, or remove caries in stages over two visits some months apart to allow the pulp time to lay down reparative dentine (the stepwise excavation technique).Objectives: To test the null hypoth...

Alignment of transposed mandibular lateral incisor and canine using removable appliancesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The purpose of this paper was to present the management of a rarely encountered transposition anomaly involving the mandibular permanent lateral incisor and the canine. In the literature, the treatment of this type of anomaly involves fixed orthodontic appliances. The treatment of the present case, however, was performed with removable appliances. Transposition of the permanent mandibular right lateral incisor and the permanent mandibular right canine was detected in a 12 year old girl. The primary mandibular right canine was extracted to enable the distal movement of the permanent lateral incisor by the eruption force of ...

Conclusions: The cervical wedge is shaped by interactions between acid wear, abrasion and dentinal sclerosis. No histopathological evidence of abfraction was found.

Stability of practice beliefs and preferences for patients among private general dentists: a comparison of 1997 and 2007Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The majority of items were not significantly different over time. This demonstrates a generally high degree of stability over time in the level of agreement with dentist practice beliefs and preferences for patients. Given that it may be difficult for clinicians to change practice beliefs and behaviours that have become established, it is important for policy makers to understand the relationship between provider characteristics and service patterns and for educators to positively shape beliefs and behaviours through undergraduate and continuing education.

Background: Screening programmes for major cancers, such as breast and cervical cancer have effectively decreased the mortality rate and helped to reduce the incidence of these cancers. Although oral cancer is a global health problem with increasing incidence and mortality rates, no national population-based screening programmes for oral cancer have been implemented. To date there is debate on whether to employ screening methods for oral cancer in the daily routine work of health providers.Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of current screening methods in decreasing oral cancer mortality.Search strategy: Electronic da...

Conclusions: All the commercial products showed some in vitro antimicrobial activity. Ledermix paste and the 50:50 Ledermix/Pulpdent mixture being the most effective in this model.

Burning mouth syndrome and psychological disordersEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is an oral dysaesthesia that causes chronic orofacial pain in the absence of a detectable organic cause. The aetiology of BMS is complex and multifactorial, and has been associated in the literature with menopause, trigger events and even genetic polymorphisms. Other studies have found evidence for mechanisms such as central and peripheral nervous system changes, with clinical and laboratory investigations supporting a neuropathologic cause. These physiological explanations notwithstanding, there is still much evidence that BMS aetiology has at least some psychological elements. Somatoform pain...

Abfraction: separating fact from fiction.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article critically reviews the literature for and against the concept of abfraction. Although there is theoretical evidence in support of abfraction, predominantly from finite element analysis studies, caution is advised when interpreting results of these studies because of their limitations. In fact, there is only a small amount of experimental evidence for abfraction. Clinical studies have shown associations between abfraction lesions, bruxism and occlusal factors, such as premature contacts and wear facets, but these investigations do not confirm causal relationships. Importantly, abfraction lesions have not been r...

Abstract Self-ligating brackets have enjoyed recent popularity in the orthodontic marketplace with various claims made including faster ligation, lower friction, faster treatment, less pain, waking up the tongue, and fewer appointments. Although various designs of self-ligating brackets have been available for many years they have only recently surged in popularity on the back of these claims but what evidence is there to support these claims? This review article examines the current available evidence regarding treatment duration, influence on archform, and the speed of tying and untying self-ligating brackets compare...
