Dentist named Anthony Barton began an affair with Miss B, who worked at the practice between 2002 and 2007. They would have sex on the premises either during surgery hours or just after the practice had closed.
Barton is accused of "inappropriate, unprofessional and indecent" behaviour with her and THREE other nurses - A, aged 19, C and D, aged 22 - over eight years.
Dental nurse B said in her testimony that Barton is a "cocky" dentist who unclipped her bra and tugged at her pants. SEE HERE

Dental plaque increases neutrophil activity
The researchers, led by Michael Kowolik, B.D.S., Ph.D., professor of periodontics and associate dean for graduate education at the IU School of Dentistry on the campus of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, studied 128 black and white men and women and found that dental plaque accumulation did not result in a change in total white blood count, a known risk factor for adverse cardiac events. However, in black males the researchers noted a significant increase in the activity of neutrophils, the most common type of white blood cell and an essential part of the immune system.
Unlike most other studies that attempt to understand the link between oral inflammatory disease and heart disease risk, these study participants did not have periodontal disease. They were healthy individuals who by the study design were asked to neglect oral hygiene. More HERE
Lollipop contributed to poor dental health, damages filed in USA
Earlier this month a man from Texas filed a lawsuit against a company and claimed their Actiq fentanyl lollipop negatively affected his dental health by rotting his teeth.
Greg Lee Minckley alleges in the suit that the sugar in the lollipop "destroyed" his teeth and forced him to get $37,000 in dental care to remedy the problem. The lollipops were designed as a way to administer pain medication through a lozenge at the end of the stick for cancer patients.CLICK HERE

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of two light units, a quartz–tungsten–halogen (QTH) and a light-emitting diode (LED), on the hardness and degree of conversion of an orthodontic composite resin. Sixty specimen disks were prepared from Transbond XT composite resin (3M Unitek) and light cured for 10, 20, and 30 seconds with a QTH (Curing Light XL 3000, 3M Unitek) or a LED (Ortholux, 3M Unitek) light-curing unit for 5, 10, and 15 seconds.
The highest Knoop hardness number (KHN) was obtained with the QTH at 30 (25.19 KHN) and 20 (24.01) seconds, which did not differ statistically, and in the LED 15 second (21.86) group. The QTH 10 second group (20.53) did not differ statistically from the QTH 20 second or the LED 5 (19.96) and 15, or 10 second (18.95) groups. According to FTIR, there was no statistical difference for the degree of conversion among the groups, QTH 10 (43.42 per cent), QTH 20 (46.12 per cent), QTH 30 (45.30 per cent), LED 10 (47.02 per cent), or LED 15 (47.24 per cent) seconds.
Light curing with the LED resulted in a reduction of 50 per cent in the time recommended for use of the QTH light with the composite resin, Transbond XT.
Essix Retainers are great for retention. No significant change was observed in the number of posterior contacts during T1(9 months of retention; T1), whereas a significant increase was found at T2 (2.5 years) (P < 0.01) for the second premolars (P < 0.01) and second molars (P < 0.05). Both ‘ideal’ and ‘non-ideal’ contacts increased significantly but only at T2 (P < 0.05). The number of ideally located contacts on the posterior teeth at all three periods were lower than normal values (P < 0.01); while non-ideal contacts at T1 (P < 0.05) and T2 (P < 0.01) were found more often when compared with the values of normal subjects. Only the increased number of premolar contacts at T2 was more than normal values (P < 0.01). There was no expected increase in occlusal contacts at T2.

Using Listerine Reduces Germs That Travel Thru Bloodstream
The results of a new clinical study demonstrate that the plaque and gingivitis germ-killing action of LISTERINE® Antiseptic significantly reduces the amount of germs that travel from the mouth to the bloodstream in people with mild to moderate gingivitis. These findings are significant, as emerging science suggests that gingivitis, if left untreated and allowed to progress to advanced gum disesase, could contribute to broader health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and pneumonia.
