UroToday.com - Together with Drs. Heruti, Bechor, Justo and Galor, we studied 815 Israeli male adults of whom 305 had complete data and were included in the statistical analysis. In the analyzed population, 2.1% of people without erectile dysfunction (ED) had advanced periodontal disease (defined as recession of periodontal bone of 6 mm or more) in comparison to 9.8% of the mild ED and 15.8% of the moderate/severe ED populations, respectively. However, due to the relatively small groups, we could not present the odds ratio. We are now planning a large-scale study to further establish the association between the two conditions. Full report
The mesioangular third molar – to extract or not to extract?
Mesioangular Impaction
Introduction Distal caries in lower second molars has been associated with mesioangular third molars. Caries detection and restoration can be difficult. If caries progresses, root canal treatment or extraction of the second molar can be necessary. Aims To identify the prevalence of caries in lower third molars and the distal aspect of corresponding lower second molars in patients referred for lower third molar assessment. Methods Analysis of OPG X-rays for 420 consecutive patients (776 third molars) referred to three maxillofacial centres over a five month period. Results Thirty-four percent of third molars were mesioangular. There was radiographic evidence of distal second molar caries in 42% of these. When unerupted mesioangular third molars were excluded this increased to 54%. There was no difference in age or dental health of these patients compared to the whole group. There was no angulation of the mesioangular third molar for which distal caries in the second molar was more likely. Full paper Conclusion Distal caries in lower second molars related to a mesioangular third molar is a common finding in oral and maxillofacial patients in secondary care, especially if the third molar is fully or partially erupted. If such a third molar is left in situ, close monitoring and regular bitewing radiographs are recommended.

"Root canals are the most predictable and profitable procedure in dentistry. Dentists who do not do endo lose on the average $90,000," declared a Virginia dentist. "Root canal therapy is a big money maker," agreed a California dentist. "It’s a great way to beef up the bottom line." Full Report

Fresh charges against dental college
With more serious allegations cropping up against its management and a few teachers, the Baba Jaswant Singh Dental College is in the dock again.
Manraj Kaur Dhaliwal, an intern who has been demanding an inquiry into the issue of non-payment of stipend to interns among other irregularities, levelled some fresh allegations against the college on Friday. She said a few teachers had been taking undue advantage of their position when it came to awarding marks in the internal assessment and were exploiting girl students. More here
Dental Impressions become history
The intricate and laborious route from bite impression and plaster mold to model scanning in the laboratory could soon be a thing of the past. "The three-dimensional coordinates of the tooth surface can be determined on the basis of measurements taken in the patient's mouth," says Dr. Peter Kühmstedt, group manager for 3-D measurement technology at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF in Jena.
Under a contract from German dental company Hint-Els, an expert team at the Fraunhofer institute developed an optical digitization system which scans the oral cavity and captures three-dimensional data of the teeth using camera optics. A complete picture of the individual tooth is created from several data records. After an all-round measurement, it is even possible to represent the complete jaw arch as a virtual computer image. The measurement conditions in the confined oral cavity are, however, unfavorable. To obtain precise results, the scientists use fringe projections in which a projector shines strips of light on the tooth area to be measured. Full report
10 most dangerous web search terms
In a recent report, McAfee has revealed Web search terms that put users most at risk for accidentally downloading unwanted or malicious software
.
The report, titled ''The Web's Most Dangerous Search Terms'', reveals that the researchers analysed over 2,600 of the most popular search terms of 2008 from a range of sources, including the Google Zeitgeist and the Yahoo! 2008 Year in Review.
"Search engines are our on-ramp, our highway and our off-ramp -- they're everything for Web travel. The hacking community is very smart -- they can spot a trend as well as any trendspotter," the Telegraph quoted Shane Keats, the research analyst with McAfee who led the study, as saying.
After analysing the search terms, the researchers found that hackers looking for crowds.
They are also attacking Internet surfers who are ready to take an online action, like downloading a ringtone or logging in to a site with a name, address and social security number. Full Report
