Fixed appliance effects on clinical attachment levels
Some adverse effects are associated with fixed appliance therapy, such as root resorption, white spot lesions, or periodontal implications, including the loss of alveolar bone and loss of periodontal attachment. Proper oral hygiene is more difficult when orthodontic fixed appliances are in place, resulting in plaque accumulation and mild inflammation of the oral tissues. Fixed appliances can also affect the microbial and clinical intraoral conditions, which can vary according to patient-, site-, and appliance-specific characteristics. (Source: Dental Abstracts)

Parental satisfaction and adverse side effects
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has shown itself to effectively arrest dental caries and is especially helpful for preschool children who have poor access to dental care. SDF is, however, associated with several side effects. The blackening of arrested carious lesions by SDF has led to poor parental acceptance of the treatment. For young children, parents ’ satisfaction with an intervention can play a major role affecting the adherence to treatment and its success. Other side effects of SDF include pulpal and tissue irritation, pulpal damage, white lesion development on the mucosa, and gingival irritation. (Source: Dental Abstracts)

Linking risk factors for noncommunicable diseases
Both caries and periodontal diseases are examples of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and show links to other NCDs. The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued guidelines advising the reduction of added sugars in the diet to prevent caries, avoid obesity, and reduce the development of other NCDs. Added sugar consumption is likely to be involved in the development of periodontal diseases as well. Chronic oral diseases are seldom considered together, especially with respect to common risk factors. (Source: Dental Abstracts)

Autotransplantation
When teeth are lost because of trauma, caries, periodontitis, or endodontic problems or if tooth impaction or agenesis occurs, tooth autotransplantation is a possible treatment option. Successfully autotransplanted teeth offer the advantages of ensuring a vital periodontium, continuous eruption, preservation of alveolar bone volume and the interdental papilla, the possibility of tooth movement by either orthodontic or physiological forces, and the ability to use the technique in growing subjects.

Zinc beats the common cold
A study led by Dr. Harri Hemila of the University of Helsinki in Finland has found that lozenges containing high-dose zinc can shorten the length of the common cold by about 3 days. Previous research suggested that zinc lozenges help people with allergies to shorten their suffering with the common cold, but the new study indicates that people without allergies had the same benefits as those with allergies.

Happiness increases with age
Researchers at the University of California −San Diego School of Medicine have found that people become happier over the course of their lifetime. In addition, the mental health of aging adults consistently improves with time. “Their improved sense of psychological well-being was linear and substantial,” senior author Dilip Jeste notes. “Participants reported that they felt better about themselves and their lives year upon year, decade after decade.” (Source: Dental Abstracts)

Cupping to boost athletic performance
During the Olympics, viewers saw circular purple bruises on some athletes, raising the question of “what is that?” The bruises are caused by cupping, which is an ancient Chinese medical technique touted as a way to stimulate the muscles, increase blood flow, and possibly relieve pain. Special round cups are placed on the skin over specific muscle groups, then through heat or use of an air pum p, suction is created against the skin. “When you put enough suction anywhere on the body, you get a bruise.

Silver diamine fluoride in the medical management of oral disease
Silver has been valued for thousands of years for its antimicrobial properties and continues to be of use in various treatments. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) was developed to combine the antimicrobial properties of silver with the benefits of a high dose of fluoride. The history and current dental applications of SDF were discussed. (Source: Dental Abstracts)

Ageing ’s effects on tooth color
Selecting the appropriate tooth color for restorations is a challenge for dental professionals and a serious concern for patients, even those who are considered old or very old. Fixed dental prostheses now are able to remain functional for 10 or more years, but if the color of the adjacent natural teeth changes substantially, a mismatch of color will develop.

Primary traumatic dental injuries
The primary dentition is often subjected to traumatic dental injuries, with about a third of all preschool children experiencing these injuries, usually at ages 2 to 3 years. Because children this young are too immature to cope well with dental treatment, the dentist's aim is to minimize stressful treatments while addressing the physiological fact that the root of the primary incisor and the germ of the permanent tooth are closely located. Because of this fact, long-term complications of the traumatic injury may damage the developing permanent tooth. (Source: Dental Abstracts)
