Platelet-rich plasma enhances bone and tissue growth for dental implants PR Newswire Share     An exciting treatment gaining acceptance in orthopedics and sports medicine, called platelet-rich plasma therapy, is showing strong potential for accelerated healing of dental implant procedures, according to a prominent dental researcher and editor of the Journal of Oral Implantology. James Rutkowski, DMD, PhD, reported at the recent annual scientific meeting of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry that platelet-rich plasma therapy can accelerate bone and tissue growth and wound healing and help assure long-term success of dental implant placements.

Virtual reality distraction for pain control during periodontal scaling and root planing procedures JADA Share
Although pain management during periodontal treatment usually is achieved with anesthesia, alternative methods are available. The authors conducted a study to evaluate the analgesic effect of immersive virtual reality during periodontal scaling and root planing procedures. The authors recruited 38 patients. They used a within-patient/split-mouth design. More Study shows nearly one-third of human genome is involved in gingivitis Science Daily Share
Gingivitis, which may affect more than one-half of the U.S. adult population, is a condition commonly attributed to lapses in simple oral hygiene habits. However, a new study shows that development and reversal of gingivitis at the molecular level is apparently much more complicated than its causes might indicate. Researchers found that more than 9,000 genes - nearly 30 percent of the genes found in the human body - are expressed differently during the onset and healing process associated with gingivitis. More
Teeth stem cell hopes for stroke victims ABC News Share

Bone Fractures Researchers say fractures are a leading cause of injury-related hospital admissions in the U.S. When a bone breaks, the body must close the gap and bring the ends together to form a solid unit. First, a blood clot forms around the break to seal off the area and form a callous, or fibrous tissue. Slowly, bone cells form tiny threads that grow toward the other side, meeting in the middle to bridge the break. As more and more bone cells fill in the space, the break becomes more solid. Eventually, the fracture closes. More
Crooked teeth can damage dental health DentalPlans.com Share
Some adults choose not to get braces because they believe having crooked teeth only affects the way their smile looks, but misalignment can also damage dental health. According to a study conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, 75 percent of Americans have crooked teeth. Many of these people choose not to get their smiles straightened because they are afraid of how they'll look with braces, and therefore put themselves at risk of damaging their dental health so as to not harm their appearance.
