Explica
The cavities not only is it an infectious oral disease that has a certain causal relationship with periodontal diseases, but its presence may be related to peri-implantitis, present in about 1 in 4 people with dental implants. Now a study led by the research group of the Dr. José Nart, from the Department of Periodontology of the International University of Catalonia (UIC) and vice president of the Spanish Society of Periodontology (SEPA), reveals a significant link between tooth decay and certain nutritional habits with the development of this infection that affects dental implants and that, in many cases, make them fail.

Dentistry's recovery from COVID-19 is closer than ever
Dr. Bicuspid
Patient volume has reached 86% of pre-COVID-19 levels, the highest it has been since dental practices were closed for all nonemergency procedures in March 2020, according to data released on April 28 by the ADA Health Policy Institute (HPI).
Dentistry bounced back quickly in the spring of 2020 when states began giving dentists the green light to reopen for all procedures. But by January 2021, patient volume had stalled at 80% of pre-COVID-19 levels. HPI analysts predicted it would likely remain there for the next several months, preventing dentistry from making a full recovery.
