Stem cells of body lead to tooth regeneration
Dentistry IQ
Share
People who have lost some or all of their adult teeth typically look to dentures, or more recently, dental implants to bridge the gap between a toothless appearance. But this appearance can have a host of unsettling psycho-social ramifications and a tooth-filled grin that is not without pain and discomfort. Despite being the preferred treatment for
missing teeth today, dental implants can fail and have no ability to "remodel" with surrounding jaw bone, which undergoes necessary and unavoidable changes throughout a person's life.

New study says toothpastes need more than just fluoride
DentalPlans.com
Share
Daily brushing can be one of the most effective ways for individuals to avoid dental health problems, but simply using standard toothpaste may not provide the best results,
according to a new study. Researchers looked at the effect of toothpastes containing triclosan copolymer and found that they were better at killing more of the harmful bacteria that exists in the cavities of mouths.

Sniff of local anesthetic could replace needle
Medical News Today
Share
Modern dentistry has eliminated much of the "ouch!" from getting a shot of local anesthetic. Now a new discovery may replace the needle used to give local anesthetic in the dentist's chair for many procedures. Scientists are reporting evidence that a common local anesthetic, when administered to the nose as nose drops or a nasal spray, travels through the main nerve in the face and collects in high concentrations in the teeth, jaw
and structures of the mouth.

Why it is so important to address gingivitis aggressively
Dentistry IQ
Share
Rare indeed is the day in which a dental professional spends time at the chair and does not see at least one case of gingivitis. It is so common that we seldom give it much thought.
Recommendations commonly are limited to encouraging the patient to increase his or her home care efforts. After all, clinical intervention is not the standard of care; gingivitis is a reversible condition, and we have more severe disease states to address.
