Endodontic Courses and Updates
Market survey has shown that in Indian practices which are on TOP have almost 40% contribution from endo work. And practices that loose are those who avoid endo or do it by giving multiple appointments and take several visits to complete obturation.
One of the main reasons is using only hand instruments or stiff tapered instruments. Come join the revolution with the NON tapered rotary instruments and you will be happy WE guarantee. Come and attend Great line up of endo courses to suit your needs, which are SURE to transform your life. 10-11 May at Bangalore, 19 May at Goa, 25-30 May at Belgaum and 10 June-9 July at Belgaum. 25-30 August, Portland, USA For details email or call, icdr@hotmail.com - 94481 91202
Forty-three patients were administered ibuprofen 600 mg, placebo, or pentazocine 50 mg/0.5 mg naloxone in a randomized, double-blinded manner. Beginning immediately after endodontic treatment, patients took the assigned medication every 6 hours for 24 hours and recorded their degree of discomfort on a 100-mm visual analog scale. Statistical analysis of the data showed that ibuprofen 600 mg provided statistically significantly greater analgesia than placebo at 6 and 12 hours (P = 0.0014 and 0.0024), and pentazocine/naloxone provided statistically significantly greater analgesia than placebo at 12 hours (P = 0.0084). Sex-dependent differences were noted within the pentazocine/naloxone group, which showed significantly greater analgesia in females compared with males (P = 0.007).
But mounting research supports what holistic dentists have long believed: Although the mouth may not be the window to your soul, it can reveal potential medical problems in other parts of the body, including the heart, lungs and brain.
And as the connection grows stronger, dentists who focus on treating the whole body as well as the teeth and gums—with prevention, education and nutrition playing a central role—may one day assume the role of a "primary care doctor."

How to improve your composite restorations
One major cause of failure of composite restorations is micro leakage, can we reduce it by modifying the cavities ? Recent article published in Am Journal of Ped dentistry compared the effectiveness of self-etch and total-etch adhesive systems in bonding to the beveled and nonbeveled margins of primary and permanent teeth.
Methods: This in vitro, factorial-designed study allowed evaluation of 3 factors: (1) tooth type; (2) presence of a bevel; and (3) adhesive type. Two preparations, each including a beveled and nonbeveled margin, were completed on buccal surfaces of 60 extracted molars (30 primary and 30 permanent). Preparations were randomly assigned to self-etch or a total-etch adhesive system and restored with resin composite. After thermocycling, teeth were stained with silver nitrate, sectioned, and measured for microleakage. Statistical analysis used a repeated measures analysis of variance.
Results: Beveled margins had less microleakage than nonbeveled margins for primary and permanent teeth (P<.001). Total-etch had less microleakage than self-etch adhesives on primary (53% less, P<.001) and on permanent teeth (22% less, P=.01). Self-etch had considerably more microleakage when enamel margins were not beveled. Comparably less microleakage, however, was found for total-etch and self-etch in restorations with beveled margins.
Conclusions Total-etch adhesive and beveled margins resulted in the least microleakage. Margin beveling has a greater effect in minimizing microleakage than the type of adhesive used. (Pediatr. Dent. 2008;30:134-40)
Message on Mothers Day -11 May
With Mother's Day around the corner, the American Dental Association (ADA) wants to remind mothers-to-be that maintaining good oral health is an important part of overall health, especially during pregnancy.
Research suggests there may be an association between maternal gum disease and pre-term birth and low birth weight babies. In addition, a recent study says that pregnant women with gum disease may be more likely to develop gestational diabetes. More HERE

Which is the best analgesic in Endodontic treatment ?
This paper tiltled "Gender differences in Analgesia for Endodontic pain" is published in May 2008 issue of Journal of Endodontics.Forty-three patients were administered ibuprofen 600 mg, placebo, or pentazocine 50 mg/0.5 mg naloxone in a randomized, double-blinded manner. Beginning immediately after endodontic treatment, patients took the assigned medication every 6 hours for 24 hours and recorded their degree of discomfort on a 100-mm visual analog scale.

Dentists adopt unconventional treatment options.
But Rothchild's is a dentist in USA and is member of ADA, his practice is based on a holistic philosophy that says the health of your mouth can affect your entire body.But mounting research supports what holistic dentists have long believed: Although the mouth may not be the window to your soul, it can reveal potential medical problems in other parts of the body, including the heart, lungs and brain.
