Dental News- Effective school-based cavity prevention program April 16, 2018School-based prevention programs can substantially reduce children's cavities -- but what type of treatment should be delivered in schools to best prevent tooth decay? A new study suggests that cavity prevention programs with a combination of prevention strategies may be more effective than one alone for reducing tooth decay. […]
- Peptide-based biogenic dental product may cure cavities April 12, 2018Researchers have designed a convenient and natural product that uses proteins to rebuild tooth enamel and treat dental cavities. […]
- Inequalities in dental health are most evident in young children April 11, 2018Inequalities in dental health are most evident in 3 to 6-year-old children, according to new research. Preschoolers in socioeconomically disadvantaged families had a more than four times higher risk of tooth decay compared to age cohorts with better living conditions. […]
- Absence of a transcription factor halts tooth development in mid-stride April 11, 2018Researchers have found a key role in tooth development for the transcription factor Specificity protein 7, or Sp7. Using an animal model, the researchers found that a lack of Sp7 interrupts the maturation of two types of specialized cells that help create teeth. Such basic knowledge about the development of teeth or bones adds to understanding of craniofacia […]
- Dental oral craniofacial tissue regeneration consortia March 23, 2018The ability to robustly and predictably regenerate dental, oral and craniofacial (DOC) tissues through tissue engineering and/or regenerative medicine strategies is a major goal for clinicians. While many technologies have shown proof of principle in small animals, few have made it into the clinic. […]
- Investigating the enigmatic link between periodontal inflammation and retinal degeneration March 23, 2018Many clinical studies link Chronic Periodontitis (CP) to various systemic disorders and lately age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in elderly, is found to be associated with periodontal disease. The keystone oral-pathobiont and one of the major causative organism for CP, Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), has been […]
- Metagenomics of early childhood oral health and early childhood caries March 22, 2018The supragingival oral microbiome is the fundamental pathogenetic element for dental caries development, including its severe, early-onset form -- early childhood caries (ECC). The supragingival biofilm likely harbors taxonomic and functional information that can be leveraged to inform 'precision dentistry' in early childhood. […]
- Effects of periodontitis on the colon microbiome March 22, 2018Severe gum disease is among the most prevalent chronic infection in particular in African-American populations and is associated with complex microbial infection in the sub-gingival cavity. The polybacterial nature of periodontal disease is a risk factor for several various systemic diseases. […]
- Middle-aged tooth loss linked to increased coronary heart disease risk March 21, 2018Losing two or more teeth during middle age is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. Having fewer natural teeth by middle age is linked to higher cardiovascular disease risk. […]
- Larger families linked to heightened tooth loss risk for moms March 14, 2018Having a larger family is linked to a heightened tooth loss risk for moms, suggest the results of a large European study. […]
