Dentist : Do you know?

• Do you know?
• calcium hydroxide introduced by Hermann in 1930
• used in dentistry as:- root canal cement- non-eugenol, calcium- hydroxidnal polymeric resin root canal sealer such as -Sealapex- product of Kerr manufacturing company. biocompatible cement base root canal medicament - causes significant increase in pH of circumpulpal dentin when the compound is placed in root canal. In pulpotomy & Apexification - calcium hydroxide is used because of its predictability in bridge formation & maintainance of vitality of the residual pulp. [in contrast ZOE cement causes persistant chronic nflamatory response when aplied directly to pulp with less likely hood of dentin bridge formation.
• Of a Number of agents studied experimentally by Hunter, Calcium Hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, and zinc oxide-eugenol were the only ones that produced dentinal bridging; Hunter conjectured that both calcium & magnesium anionsstimulate bridging because of their high pH and ction appears to be unimportant so long as it remains bland

Cosmetic Dentistry notes on Oral Health & whole body Relation

This is the another example Why people must visit dentist's on regular interval. It's not just about looking good but about staying healthy ,looking good & living this beautiful long life (for that here are our previous articles on Dentist/periodontist & Heart conditions & Very brief question & answer series). 

How Cosmetic dentistry can be important not just for looking good but for better health?

 

People tend to think of beautiful straight teeth as a purely cosmetic concern - a luxury rather than a necessity. However, teeth that are crooked, stained, or have other problems can cause physiological problems in the rest of the body or can be an indicator of other health problems. 

 

"Crooked and crowded teeth are hard to clean properly, potentially leading to tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss," notes Dr. Charles Nottingham, a Miami dentist and Fort Lauderdale dentist."A bad bite can also cause abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, poor speech, and excessive stress on the jaw bone and gum tissue." 

 

Poor bites can also influence chewing and swallowing and food selection - leading to nutritional problems. Pain in the jaw or teeth can lead to pain in the head, neck, shoulders, or elsewhere in the body. Oral pain often leads to diminished activity, lost work days, depression, sleep problems, and missed school for children. 

 

"In addition, problems with your teeth can be an indicator of whole-body health issues," points out Dr. Nottingham, a South Florida cosmetic dentist."Scientific research indicates a link between gum disease and many other overall health problems including: high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, premature births and many more."

 

Sometimes teeth can reveal a previously unknown health condition. Conditions that can be detected in the mouth include diabetes (causesgum infections), acid reflux (teeth are much more prone to decay), some auto-immune disorders (the soft tissue in the mouth and salivary glands can be affected), liver diseases (the soft tissue in the mouth is jaundiced) and many more.

 

On the other hand, teeth that are well-cared for have a host of psychological and physiological benefits. If you visit your doctor regularly you can avoid infections in the mouth that could spread to the rest of the body. "If your bite is well-aligned, your mouth will be comfortable, you'll be able to speak easily, and you can eat anything you want," says Dr. Nottingham."A beautiful smile can increase your self-esteem and encourage you to smile more (something everyone could use!). And increased self-confidence generates success."

Halloween tips that will scare away the cavities

 

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) offers the following tips that allow children to enjoy Halloween fun, while keeping their teeth healthy and establishing a foundation of a lifetime of oral health, including:

• Mix in healthy snacks along with Halloween candy: A balanced diet is one that includes cheese, fruits, vegetables, grains, lean meat, milk and yogurt.
• Be the tooth-healthy house on the block: Pass out alternative treats to ghouls and goblins such as cracker snack-packs, trail mix packs, rice crispy treats, etc.
• Avoid chewy treats that tend to stick to teeth and cause more damage.
• Monitor candy consumption: Only allow Halloween treats in moderation.

• Take the fear out of flossing: Teach children flossing techniques for improved oral health at Halloween.

• Make tooth brushing fun: Seasonal tooth brushes featuring Halloween themes get children excited about taking care of their tiny teeth.

• Don’t be afraid of the dentist: With all of the sweet treats consumed around Halloween, now is a great time for parents to schedule a pediatric dental appointment for their children.

• “Let’s face it, Halloween is a holiday that every child looks forward to and embraces each year,” said Dr. John R. Liu, President of the AAPD. “Rather than denying children the option to trick or treat, we advise that parents maintain their regular routine. In anticipation of their candy consumption, choose each child’s favorite treat and allow them to enjoy one piece after a meal. The remainder of the candy can then be given to a local homeless shelter or a food bank in order

What Can a New Zealand Reptile Tell Us About False Teeth?

What Can a Tuatara lizard (Living legend) tell us about false teeth

This research is being published in the Journal of Biomechanics. The tuatara is a lizard-like reptile that has iconic status in its homeland of New Zealand because its ancestors were widespread at the time of the dinosaurs. Unlike mammals and crocodiles which have teeth held in sockets by a flexible ligament, tuatara have teeth that are fused to their jaw bone — they have no ligament, much like modern dental implants.” BBSRC postdoctoral fellow Dr Neil Curtis from the University of Hull said “Humans and many other animals prevent damage to their teeth and jaws when eating because the ligament that holds each tooth in place also feeds back to the brain to warn against biting too hard.” Dr Marc Jones from University College London, also a BBSRC postdoctoral fellow, added “In the sugar-rich western world many people end up losing their teeth and have to live with dentures or dental implants instead. They’ve also lost the periodontal ligament that would attach their teeth so we wanted to know how their brains can tell what’s going on when they are eating.” The team has created a 3-D computer model of the skull of the tuatara to investigate the feedback that occurs between the jaw joints and muscles in a creature that lacks periodontal ligaments. “Tuatara live happily for over 60 years in the wild without replacing their teeth because they have the ability to unconsciously measure the forces in their jaw joint and adjust the strength of the jaw muscle contractions accordingly,” said Dr Curtis. Although this explains why tuatara and people with false teeth manage not to break their teeth and don’t end up with jaw joint disorders, it is still clear that having a periodontal ligament is very useful, in particular for fine tuning chewing movements. This may explain why it has evolved independently in the ancestors of mammals, crocodiles, dinosaurs, and even some fish. There is anecdotal evidence to suggest that people with implants and dentures may make food choices related to their lack of periodontal ligament. However, the tuatara pursues a broad diet on the islands where they live including beetles, spiders, snails, frogs and occasionally young seabirds. Professor Douglas Kell, BBSRC Chief Executive said “To support the extension of health and wellbeing into old age, it is vital that we appreciate how we as human beings have developed our extraordinary ability to adapt to adverse situations. This work allows us to understand some of the complexities of the feedback and responses occurring in healthy human bodies and brains.. It is impossible in evolution to predict future innovations such as dental implants and yet this research indicates a level of redundancy in our biology that opens opportunities to support long term health and wellbeing.”
