Orthodontic Pearls: A Selection of Practical Tips and Clinical Expertise
This outstanding book synthesizes a wealth of information gleaned from clinical and administrative experiences in orthodontic practice. Contributors from around the world provide tips, techniques and practical hints to assist in everything from diagnosis and the use of appliances to patient management. It is essential reading for any practitioner, even the most experienced orthodontist, who wishes to improve skills and knowledge in the clinical treatment of patients.

Complications of Dental Implants
Great dentist is one who does implant as a very last resort. Any piece of root is anytime better than the best implant, Why ? read below the reasons ( not reported in meetings or journals for obvious reasons)
-Progressive infraocclusion even in adults
-Blue-coloring of labial gingiva
-Visible abutment with time (metal, porcelain)
-Don´t upright like natural incisors
-Non-adjustable by orthodontic means
-Interdental recession particularly distal papilla
-Not easy to make crown entirely natural
-No long term observations (> 10-15 years) courtesy Dr Bjørn Zachrisson
Cardiovascular disease parameters in periodontitis
Journal of Periodontology Posted online on October 31, 2008.
Forty patients with periodontitis and 40 healthy sex, body-mass index (BMI) and age matched individuals were compared measuring: the total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, levels of cytokines, antibodies against oxidized low-density lipoprotein, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total and differential white blood cell counts and the nonlinear index of refraction.
Conclusions: Our results confirm and further strengthen the suggested association between coronary artery disease and periodontitis.

A Prediction Model for Chronic Kidney Disease Includes Periodontal Disease
Journal of Periodontology Posted online on October 30, 2008.
Conclusion: This US population-based study suggest the importance of considering multiple risk factors, including periodontal status, as this improves the identification of individuals at high-risk for chronic kidney disease and may ultimately reduce its burden. More HERE
Proper Dental Care Can Reduce The Risk Of Atherosclerosis, A Leading Cause Of Heart Disease
A new research study by Italian and U.K. scientists published online in The FASEB Journal shows that infected gums may be contributing factor forAtherosclerosis.
To reach this conclusion, the scientists examined the carotid arteries of 35 otherwise healthy people (median age 46) with mild to moderate periodontal disease before and after having their periodontal disease treated. One year after treatment, the scientists observed a reduction in oral bacteria, immune inflammation and the thickening of the blood vessels associated with atherosclerosis. MORE HERE
Influence of gender and menstrual cycle on volatile sulphur compounds production-Halitosis
Archives of Oral Biology Volume 53, Issue 12, December 2008
The menstrual cycle has been pointed out as a factor influencing halitosis. However, this relationship has not yet been clarified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of gender and the menstrual cycle on the production of volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) in women (n = 14) across the menstrual cycle, and in men (n = 17). Volunteers in good oral and general health were submitted to the evaluation of VSC, salivary flow, cortisol and anaerobic bacteria counts in saliva. Data were compared among groups by Analysis of Variance (α = 5%). VSC was higher in the menstrual and premenstrual phases when compared with men and the follicular phase (p <> 0.05). Levels of anaerobic micro-organisms, however, were not different among groups (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the production of VSC is influenced by menstrual cycle and protein concentration and salivary flow might be involved in this process.
Dieting May Cut Risk For Gum Disease, Mostly In Males
For men, especially older men, dieting may help reduce the risk of gum disease more than for women, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore and other institutions.
The study, published in the journal Nutrition, also provides the latest clue to a powerful link between chronic inflammation and poor health, according to Mark Reynolds, DDS, PhD, associate professor at the Dental School, part of UMB.
"Chronic inflammation appears to be an important factor underlying aging and many age-related disorders, and dietary restriction has been shown to reduce the risk for chronic disease and promote longevity in multiple animal models," says Reynolds, who is chair of the Department of periodontics at the School.
