Beat Recssion, Its Show Time
Report of IDS Cologne
Approximately 106,000 visitors (+ 6.9 percent) experienced the trend-setting energy and innovations of the world's leading trade fair. Around 1,100 new products and advancements were demonstrated by more than 1,820 exhibitors (+ 4.5 percent) from 57 countries. The greatest dental show. It was full of implants, Cad Cam Zirconia dominated the scene. Counters stocked with Chocolates, Dry fruits, Fruits, even variety of drinks including beer and wine were for free for visitors on the company counters.
To add to that there were variety attractions including dances and body painting to attract visitors. Full report here
Its show time, recession ? Does not look like. Starting 23-24 May Dental trade fair season starts from Bangalore. There are over eight dental trade fair in India. We talking of exclusive trade fair, not the ones along with dental conference. To see updated listing of dental meetings and trade fair CLICK HERE
To have a fellowship from America does show your status as a quality dentist, Endo fellowships from USA, apply now, CLICK HERE
There is a very nice two day conf in Cochin on 8-9 Aug, 2009, do attend, CLICK HERE to see high quality program, apply now, seats are fast filling up.
Bra as a bullet proof Vest- BBC News service
A US woman had a lucky escape when a burglar's bullet bounced off the metal underwire in her bra. Police in the city of Detroit said one of three intruders fired a shot when the woman looked out of her window and saw them raiding the house next door. The bullet smashed the window and hit her, but instead of causing serious injury - or worse - it was deflected off the wiring in her bra. The unnamed 57-year-old woman was taken to hospital and released the same day.
Post Extraction Bleeding leads to Dealth
Pauline Coles, 38, died after spitting up blood for several hours following the dental surgery in 2008.
West Somerset Coroners' Court was told Ms Coles was an alcoholic and had not sought medical help for her cirrhosis because of a fear of hospitals.
Coroner Michael Rose recorded a verdict of death by misadventure.
Dentist Lisle Lewis, who removed the rotten teeth at Blenheim House Dental Practice in Minehead, told the court she was unaware of the extent of Ms Coles' liver and clotting problems.
Mr Rose said: "Sadly Pauline Coles was the author of her own misfortune.
"There is no criticism of Dr Lewis and I am satisfied that she carried out the correct procedure."

Osteoclast polarization and orthodontic tooth movement, Enhance Anchorage of tooth by Chemical Means ?
Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research' Volume 12 Issue 2, Pages 105 - 112
Osteoclasts polarize when they contact activation signals that are associated with bone. Polarization is required for bone resorption and involves highly specialized mechanisms that represent attractive targets for the development of osteoclast-specific therapeutic agents. One potential use of such agents is to block tooth movement in spatially discrete locations to provide orthodontic anchorage.
Materials and methods – Our group's research was directed toward the development of agents that inhibited the polarization of osteoclasts, and efforts were underway to develop means to experimentally modulate orthodontic tooth movement. We performed 'proof-in-principle' experiments demonstrating pharmacological blockades of orthodontic tooth movement using integrin and matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors in a rat model.
Results – We identified novel mechanisms underlying osteoclast bone resorption. Interactions between vacuolar H+-ATPase and the microfilament cytoskeleton that were unique to osteoclasts were described and characterized. Our group is now seeking to make use of this new knowledge, coupled with an emerging technique, supercomputer-based molecular modeling for the rational development of novel, osteoclast-specific therapeutic agents.
Conclusion – Fresh insight into the molecular details of osteoclastic bone resorption provides new opportunities for identifying agents to selectively modulate osteoclast activity. Such agents may contribute to evolution of the practice of orthodontics.
Periodontal Disease increases risk for HIV-1?
During the 87th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, a group of scientists from Nihon University (Tokyo, Japan) presented findings suggesting that periodontal disease could act as a risk factor for reactivating latent HIV-1 in affected individuals. Latently infected cells harbor HIV-1 proviral DNA genomes integrated with heterochromatins, allowing for the persistence of transcriptionally silent proviruses. Hypoacetylation of histone proteins by histone deacetylases (HDACs) is primarily involved in the maintenance of HIV-1 latency by repressing transcription from HIV-1 provirus. On the other hand, periodontal diseases, caused by infection with the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), are found worldwide and are among the most prevalent microbial diseases of mankind.

Resolvins Have The Potential To Resolve Periodontal Inflammation And Restore Tissue Health
During the 87th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research held recently, scientists from Boston University reported on the discovery of Resolvins, a new family of biologically active products of omega-3 fatty acids with the therapeutic potential to resolve periodontal inflammation and restore the gums to health. Oil from fish contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA); both are omega-3 fatty acids. These omega-3 fatty acids keep blood triglycerides in control and may inhibit the progression of atherosclerosis. EPA and DHA also have anti-inflammatory activity and are often used to help people with various inflammatory conditions, such as Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. More HERE
Oral Care Key To Successful Organ Transplants
Study after study point to the connection between oral health and a person's general well-being.Maintaining good oral health, free of infection, is also very critical for successful organ transplantation and requires specialized dental care.According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 25,000 procedures are performed in the United States each year to replace organs, including the heart, kidneys, liver, intestines, and the pancreas.
Immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine, prednisone and azathioprine, are anti-rejection drugs intended to reduce the likelihood of transplant failure. Such drugs also can suppress the formation of saliva, in turn creating a dry mouth, the perfect breeding ground for infection."Our research has shown that active viral infection is frequently associated with severe clinical complications including transplant failure." said Nowzari. "Stress, immunosuppressant- or immune-dysfunction may trigger viral activation, causing damage to the organ."He added that the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is specifically associated with renal transplant failure.
Ultimately, prevention holds the key to a successful transplantation. Attention must be given to preventing infection in the mouth similarly to treating a sore or an ear or nail infection. Parents need daily vigilance with their children's habits and with identifying oral health providers for their children. A parent of a "medically compromised" child can stem the damage to oral health by following proper oral care routine. MORE HERE
Is it marketing or Research ?
If already the hard selling of self ligating systems was not enough, now one study has proved that self ligating brackets harbor less plaque and bacteria.
"We were surprised that the manner of ligation promoted differences in the levels of plaque bacteria surrounding the bonded tooth surfaces," noted Curt Machida, Ph.D., OHSU professor of integrative biosciences and principal investigator, whose lab was host for the study. "Our results suggest that the use of the self-ligating appliances promote reduced retention of plaque bacteria on tooth surfaces surrounding the appliances. More HERE
Chewing Gum Reduces Snack Cravings And Decreases Consumption Of Sweet Snacks
ScienceDaily (Apr. 20, 2009) — Men and women who chewed Extra® sugar-free gum three times hourly in the afternoon chose and consumed less snacks and specifically, less sweet snacks than they did when they did not chew gum. They still reached for a variety of snacks provided but the decrease in overall snack intake was significant at 40 calories and sweet snack intake specifically was significantly lowered by 60 calories.
