Has the War against Cavities been Won?
War Against Cavities
The study published in the March issue of Journal of Clinical Dentistry was a one-year, double-blind, placebo controlled study that demonstrates that sugarless mints containing the fluoride-free CaviStat® technology were able to inhibit both the onset and progression of cavities in 10 and 11 year-old children in Venezuela. Study participants took four mints daily, two in the morning after brushing their teeth and before eating breakfast and two in the evening after brushing their teeth, before going to bed. There were 200 children enrolled and 195 who finished the one-year study with complete data. Ninety-six children were in the study group and received the BasicMints with CaviStat and 99 children were in the placebo group and received the sugarless mint without CaviStat. The study was funded by Ortek Therapeutics, Inc. To see full news CLICK HERE.

This interesting article is of great value for a practicing orthodontist. It is published in April 2008 Supplement of AJODO. If you need to get article email to icdr@hotmail.com
Abstract:Soft-tissue lasers have numerous applications in orthodontics, including gingivectomy, frenectomy, operculectomy, papilla flattening, uncovering temporary anchorage devices, ablation of aphthous ulcerations, exposure of impacted teeth, and even tooth whitening. As an adjunctive procedure, laser surgery has helped many orthodontists to enhance the design of a patient's smile and improve treatment efficacy. Before incorporating soft-tissue lasers into clinical practice, the clinician must fully understand the basic science, safety protocol, and risks associated with them. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview regarding safe and proper use of soft-tissue lasers in orthodontics.
Also in Apr AJODO there is an interesting article by Park etal which shows that use of microimplants can have skeletal retraction effect on maxilla, its high time to jump on this new modality, visit HERE
