U. S . Scientists In a report published in American Journal
Of Cardiology advised that oral history may be helpful in
detecting the cardiac diseases.Oral history may be helpful
in diagnosing a lot many systemic problems like caridac and
diabetes as the initial symptims appear first in the mouth .
Life Of Composite Restorations Dependent On Inhibition Of Matrix
Metalloproteinases
(December 2008)
Professor Leo Tjдderhane of the Department of Pedodontics, Cardiology
and Endodontology at the
University of Oulu, with a worldwide team
of doctors and with the financial aid from Univ. Of Finland has made
a
study. This study says that the life of
composite restoration is reduced due to the loss of collagen from
the
dentin which in turn is due to the
release if matrix metalloproteinases present in the oral tissues.
Application
of Chlorhexidine has proven to
prevent the release of matrix metalloproteinases. Infact this study
may suggest
a crucial role of the matrix metalloproteinases
in the dental decay . So as it stands now the study gives the
inference that application of
Chlorhexidine improves the boding o Composite-dentin interface by
preventing or
reducing the release of matrix
matalloproteinases.
Ctip2 gene - regulates the growth of Enamel - A finding that could
change our practices
(Feb 2009 Issue)
Ctip2 plays a role in immune response, as well as
Dermatological and Nervous development was already known and its
role in enamel growth was recently found in the University Of Oregon
, where they bred mice which lacked the Ctip2 gene found that the
mice lacked Enamel.For years scientists have been trying to grow
ameloblasts. This finding may help in future for possibly
replacement of lost Enamel.This finding has laid the foundation for
the future stem cell research in Enamel growth.
