Elephant undergoes dental repair 25 Nov 2010 Kochi, Nov 25 (PTI) In a rare surgery, an elephant in Kerala successfully underwent a conservative dental treatment to repair his tusk, which had a 50 cm long crack. "The 50 cm long and 4 cm deep crack was filled using micro and macromechanical bonding using light cure composite resin.  The resin was bonded to the elephant dentin by using nanofilled  Dental advancement may improve root canal procedures 01 July 2010 Dentists have discovered that instead of using root canal procedures that result resulting in non-vital teeth and inflamed gums, they may have the opportunity to regenerate tissue and teeth damaged by decay and bacteria.  New dental tool may improve tooth decay detection in children 28 June 2010 Using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) driven biouminescence, the innovative dental tool, dentists are able to detect visible light caused by bacteria-based ATP that leads to tooth decay  Sleep-Disordered Breathing In Children Identified By Dental Questionnaire 07 June 2010 According to new research that received the Graduate Student Research Award on Saturday, June 5, at the 19th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, questionnaires can help dentists screen for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in a pediatric population. SDB includes obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), upper-airway resistance syndrome, and snoring.  Night Time Eating Linked To Tooth Loss 02 June 2010 Eating food late at night contributes to tooth loss, regardless of the type of food you eat, according to American and Danish researchers, who noted the reason could be that saliva flow, which is important for removing...  Little-Known Mouth Fluid May Lead to Test for Gum Disease ScienceDaily (May 28, 2010) A little-known fluid produced in tiny amounts in the gums, those tough pink tissues that hold the teeth in place, has become a hot topic for scientists trying to develop an early, non-invasive test for gum disease, the No. 1 cause of tooth loss in adults. It's not saliva, a quart of which people produce each day, but gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), produced at the rate of millionths of a quart per tooth.  Tissue Engineering Technique Yields Potential Biological Substitute for Dental Implants ScienceDaily (May 25, 2010)  A technique pioneered in the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory of Dr. Jeremy Mao, the Edward V. Zegarelli Professor of Dental Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, can orchestrate stem cells to migrate to a three-dimensional scaffold infused with growth factor, holding the translational potential to yield an anatomically correct tooth in as soon as nine weeks once implanted.  Indiana Implant Dentist Receives training In Cutting Edge Protocol To Rescue The Denture Sufferers Dr. Irfan (Ivan) Atcha and 15 other selected dental clinicians across the U.S. were invited by Nobel Biocare (world's largest Dental Implant manfacturer), Dr. Yvan Fortin DDS and Dr. Richard Sullivan(Clincal Director of Nobel Biocare North America) DDS to get trained on Zygomatic Implants (No Bone Solution) for patients with little to no bone left on the upper jaw at the Centre D'Implantologie Dentaire in Quebec, Montreal.  "Perception Aesthetics And Smile Design": A New Concept In Creating Natural Smiles A new website and YouTube video developed by Paul Chalifoux, DDS of Wellesley, Massachusetts, introduces the concept "Perception Aesthetics and Smile Design" to the public. The concept was introduced to dentists in an article "Perception Esthetics: Factors that Affect Smile Design" published in the Journal of Esthetic Dentistry in 1996.  bonds between the white filling and the tooth quickly age and degrade Tooth-colored fillings may be more attractive than silver ones, but the bonds between the white filling and the tooth quickly age and degrade. A Medical College of Georgia researcher hopes a new nanotechnology technique will extend the fillings' longevity.  New tool to detect early signs of plaque build-up January 17th, 2009 - 4:56 pm ICT by IANS -  London, Jan 17 (IANS) A new dental probe developed by scientists will detect the very earliest signs of plaque build-up.The toothbrush-sized product has a blue light at its tip, which, when shone around the mouth and viewed through yellow glasses with a red filter, allows plaque to be seen easily as a red glow.  Dentists currently use disclosing agents in tablet form to uncover tooth decay and plaque but these often stain the mouth and taste unpleasant.  Sue Higham, professor
