Purification and partial characterization of a novel glucanhydrolase from Lipomyces starkeyi KSM 22 and its use for inhibition of insoluble glucan formation. (1/711)

A novel glucanhydrolase from a mutant of Lipomyces starkeyi ATCC 74054 was purified. The single protein (100 kDa) showed either dextranolytic or amylolytic activity. We referred to the glucanhydrolase as a DXAMase. The DXAMase was produced in a starch medium and it was 3.75-fold more active for hydrolysis of the purified insoluble-glucan of Streptococcus mutans than Penicillium funiculosum dextranase. Aggregation of S. mutans cells with dextran and adherence to glass were eliminated by incubating with the DXAMase. The addition of DXAMase (0.1 IU/ml) to the mutansucrase reaction digest with sucrose reduced the formation of insoluble-glucan about 80%. Also the DXAMase (0.5 IU/ml) removed 80% of the pre-formed sucrose-dependent adherent film. These in vitro properties of L. starkeyi KSM 22 DXAMase are desirable for its application as a dental plaque control agent.  (+info)

Oral colonization by Candida albicans. (2/711)

Candida albicans is a commensal yeast normally present in small numbers in the oral flora of a large proportion of humans. Colonization of the oral cavity by C. albicans involves the acquisition and maintenance of a stable yeast population. Micro-organisms are continually being removed from the oral cavity by host clearance mechanisms, and so, in order to survive and inhabit this eco-system, C. albicans cells have to adhere and replicate. The oral cavity presents many niches for C. albicans colonization, and the yeast is able to adhere to a plethora of ligands. These include epithelial and bacterial cell-surface molecules, extracellular matrix proteins, and dental acrylic. In addition, saliva molecules, including basic proline-rich proteins, adsorbed to many oral surfaces promote C. albicans adherence. Several adhesins present in the C. albicans cell wall have now been partially characterized. Adherence involves lectin, protein-protein, and hydrophobic interactions. As C. albicans cells evade host defenses and colonize new environments by penetrating tissues, they are exposed to new adherence receptors and respond by expressing alternative adhesins. The relatively small number of commensal Candida cells in the oral flora raises the possibility that strategies can be devised to prevent oral colonization and infection. However, the variety of oral niches and the complex adherence mechanisms of the yeast mean that such a goal will remain elusive until more is known about the contribution of each mechanism to colonization.  (+info)

Cytotoxicity of dental resin monomers in the presence of S9 mix enzymes. (3/711)

The purpose of the this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of dental resin monomers in the presence of a rat liver S9 mix containing cytochrome P 450 enzymes. JTC-12 cells derived from a monkey kidney were seeded on a 96-well multi-well-plate at 9 x 10(3) cells per well. After cultivation, the S9 mix was added to the wells as an S9 mix group (+S9), and PBS- was added to the other wells as a none-S9 mix group (-S9), then 7 different concentrations of various monomers were added to each well. All the specimens were cultured for another 24 hrs. The cell survival ratios (CSR) were calculated by using a neutral red cytotoxicity assay. CSR for 50 micrograms/mL of Bis-GMA/S9 mix was 92.6% while for none-S9 mix it was 6.6%. The values of CSR for UDMA, Bis-MPEPP, EGDMA, TEGDMA, DMAEM, 4-META and HEMA exhibited a reduction in cytotoxicity in the presence of the S9 mix. There were significant differences between +S9 and -S9 for respective monomers (p < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences between +S9 and -S9 for MMA (p < 0.05).  (+info)

Current trends in removable prosthodontics. (5/711)

BACKGROUND: This article discusses trends in the demographics and treatment of the edentulous patient. It is clear that there still is a tremendous need for removable-prosthodontic services today. While the basic process of making dentures has changed little over the past several decades, new materials and techniques can help laboratories and clinicians provide functional, esthetic restorations that offer exceptional value to patients. Implant treatment is a tremendous adjunct to removable prosthodontics in the treatment of edentulous patients, but it is not within the financial reach of all dental patients. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The clinical skills required to deliver excellent complete denture care are also paramount to successful implant prosthodontics (fixed and removable) and esthetic dentistry. Even so, the opportunities to develop these skills and the interest appear to be decreasing at the same time that the need is projected to increase. In service to our patients, the profession must examine this trend closely.  (+info)

Among the numerous threats to the dentist's health there is one relating to the eye. The paper discusses the impact of selected adverse factors on the eye in connection with dental practice in the surgery.  (+info)

Estrogenic activity of dental materials and bisphenol-A related chemicals in vitro. (7/711)

Twenty-eight chemicals used as dental materials and bisphenol-A related chemicals were diluted with DMSO to concentrations ranging from 10(-7) to 10(-3) M and tested for estrogenicity. Bisphenol-A (BPA), bisphenol-F (BPF) and bisphenol-A-bischloroformate (BPACF) showed estrogenic activity using the yeast two-hybrid system, and BPA, BPF, BPACF and bisphenol-S (BPS) showed estrogenic activity using the fluorescence polarization system. However, none of the remaining chemicals and none of the dental materials showed any activity at concentrations between 10(-7) and 10(-3) M. Although BPA, BPF, BPACF, bisphenol-A-dimethacrylate and BPS showed estrogenic activity in the E-screen test, the remaining chemicals did not. Thus, most of the chemicals showed consistent results, either positive or negative, by the three testing methods, while two chemicals showed conflicting results. Further studies, together with in vivo and epidemiological examinations, are required. Elucidation of the structure-activity relationships of these chemicals is also needed to estimate the estrogenicity of a chemical from its structure.  (+info)

Side-effects of dental materials reported in Scandinavian countries. (8/711)

Dental treatment usually involves a wide range of materials which continue to grow in number and complexity. During the last decade there has been an increasing demand for safety evaluation and control of dental materials. Since it is the members of the dental staff who handle the materials in their most reactive states they constitute the main risk category. Bearing this in mind reported side-effects in both patients and dental personnel in Scandinavia are presented. Data from the only two existing national registers for side-effects of dental materials, i.e. those in Norway and Sweden, are thus elucidated. Furthermore, recent mainly Scandinavian publications dealing with the side-effects of dental materials are presented. It can be concluded that a national register on the side-effects of dental materials, apart from revealing information regarding their frequency and nature, may detect changes in the profiles of adverse reactions and also serve as a tool for the post-marketing surveillance of dental materials.  (+info)

Biomedical and Dental Materials are materials that are used in the medical and dental fields to replace or repair damaged or diseased tissues, organs, or structures in the body. These materials can be natural or synthetic, and they are designed to have specific properties that make them suitable for use in medical and dental applications. Examples of biomedical and dental materials include metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. These materials are used in a wide range of medical and dental applications, such as dental implants, orthopedic implants, cardiovascular devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds. The selection of the appropriate biomedical or dental material depends on several factors, including the intended application, the properties of the material, and the patient's individual needs and characteristics. Biomedical and dental materials must also be safe, biocompatible, and durable to ensure that they perform effectively and do not cause harm to the patient.

Dental amalgam is a type of dental filling material that is commonly used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay or injury. It is made up of a mixture of metals, including silver, tin, copper, and mercury, which are combined to form a hard, durable material that can be shaped to fit the contours of a tooth. Dental amalgam has been used for over 150 years and is still widely used today because it is effective, durable, and relatively inexpensive.

Community dentists work with a variety of stakeholders, including public health officials, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and community members, to develop and implement programs and initiatives that promote oral health and address the oral health needs of specific populations. This may include providing dental screenings, education and outreach programs, and dental care services in schools, community centers, and other public settings. Community dentistry also involves conducting research to better understand the oral health needs of different populations and to develop effective strategies for preventing and treating oral diseases and conditions. By working together with communities, community dentists can help to improve oral health outcomes and reduce the burden of oral disease in populations.

The American Dental Association (ADA) is a professional organization that represents dentists in the United States. It was founded in 1859 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The ADA is the largest and oldest national dental association in the world, with over 161,000 members. The ADA's mission is to promote oral health and provide leadership in oral health care. It does this through a variety of activities, including research, education, advocacy, and public awareness campaigns. The ADA also sets standards for dental education and practice, and provides resources and support for dentists and their patients. In the medical field, the ADA is recognized as a leading authority on dental health and is often consulted for guidance on issues related to oral health care. The organization publishes a number of resources for dentists and patients, including the Journal of the American Dental Association, which is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes research on all aspects of dentistry.

Stomatognathic diseases refer to a group of disorders that affect the mouth, teeth, jaws, and related structures. These diseases can be broadly categorized into two groups: oral diseases and craniofacial diseases. Oral diseases include conditions such as tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and oral infections. These diseases can affect the teeth, gums, tongue, and other oral tissues. Craniofacial diseases, on the other hand, affect the bones and muscles of the face and jaws. Examples of craniofacial diseases include temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), facial fractures, and cleft lip and palate. Stomatognathic diseases can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices. Treatment for these diseases may involve a combination of medications, surgery, and other therapies, depending on the specific condition and its severity.

Toothache is a common dental problem characterized by pain or discomfort in the teeth or gums. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including tooth decay, gum disease, injury to the teeth or gums, or dental procedures such as fillings or extractions. Toothache can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that can radiate to the head, neck, or jaw. In the medical field, toothache is typically treated by a dentist or oral surgeon, who may prescribe pain medication, perform a dental procedure to address the underlying cause of the pain, or recommend further treatment such as root canal therapy or tooth extraction.

Tooth abnormalities refer to any deviation from the normal structure, shape, or function of teeth. These abnormalities can be congenital, meaning present at birth, or acquired later in life due to injury, disease, or other factors. Some common examples of tooth abnormalities include: 1. Malocclusion: This refers to an incorrect alignment of the teeth, which can cause problems with chewing, speaking, and overall oral health. 2. Tooth decay: This occurs when bacteria in the mouth produce acid that erodes the tooth enamel, leading to cavities and other dental problems. 3. Tooth sensitivity: This can be caused by a variety of factors, including tooth decay, gum disease, or exposure of the tooth root. 4. Tooth erosion: This occurs when the tooth enamel is worn away due to acid from the stomach or other sources. 5. Tooth discoloration: This can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, age, smoking, or certain medications. 6. Tooth abnormalities due to injury: This can include chips, cracks, or fractures in the tooth, as well as missing teeth. 7. Tooth abnormalities due to disease: This can include conditions such as periodontitis (gum disease), which can cause tooth loss, or oral cancer, which can affect the shape and function of the teeth. Treatment for tooth abnormalities depends on the specific condition and may include dental procedures such as fillings, crowns, bridges, or implants, as well as lifestyle changes such as improving oral hygiene habits or quitting smoking.

Dental cavity preparation is a dental procedure that involves removing decayed or damaged tooth structure from a tooth in order to create a smooth, clean surface for a filling or other restoration. This procedure is typically performed by a dentist or dental hygienist using specialized dental tools, such as dental drills and hand instruments. During a dental cavity preparation, the dentist will first numb the affected area of the tooth using a local anesthetic. They will then use a dental drill to remove the decayed or damaged tooth structure, carefully shaping the cavity to create a smooth, clean surface. The dentist may also use hand instruments to further refine the shape of the cavity and remove any remaining decay. Once the cavity has been prepared, the dentist will fill it with a dental filling or other restoration, such as a crown or a dental bridge. The restoration will be shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth and will be bonded in place using a special dental cement. Dental cavity preparation is an important procedure for maintaining good oral health and preventing further tooth decay. It is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and can be completed in a single visit to the dentist.

Dental Enamel Hypoplasia is a condition characterized by the incomplete or abnormal development of dental enamel, the hard outer layer of the tooth. It can occur during tooth development in the womb or in early childhood, and can be caused by a variety of factors, including malnutrition, illness, and exposure to certain medications or toxins. The severity of dental enamel hypoplasia can vary, ranging from mild white spots on the teeth to severe pitting or grooving of the enamel surface. It can lead to increased tooth sensitivity and an increased risk of tooth decay. Treatment options may include fluoride therapy, dental bonding, or dental crowns.

Dental calculus, also known as tartar, is a hard, calcified deposit that forms on the teeth. It is composed of bacteria, minerals, and food debris that accumulate on the teeth over time. Dental calculus can form on both the tops and bottoms of the teeth, as well as in between the teeth. Dental calculus can cause a number of oral health problems, including gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss. It can also contribute to bad breath and tooth sensitivity. To prevent the formation of dental calculus, it is important to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly, and to visit the dentist for regular cleanings.

Dental pulp diseases refer to a group of conditions that affect the soft tissue inside the tooth, known as the dental pulp. The dental pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that nourish and support the tooth. There are several types of dental pulp diseases, including: 1. Dental caries: This is the most common type of dental pulp disease, caused by bacteria that produce acids that erode the tooth enamel and dentin, leading to decay of the dental pulp. 2. Dental abscess: This occurs when bacteria enter the dental pulp and cause an infection, leading to the formation of an abscess, which is a collection of pus. 3. Pulpitis: This is an inflammation of the dental pulp, which can be caused by dental caries, trauma, or other factors. 4. Pulp necrosis: This occurs when the dental pulp dies due to trauma, infection, or other factors. 5. Pulp calcification: This is the formation of calcium deposits in the dental pulp, which can cause pain and other symptoms. Dental pulp diseases can cause pain, sensitivity, swelling, and other symptoms, and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Treatment options for dental pulp diseases include root canal therapy, pulpotomy, and extraction.

In the medical field, tooth injuries refer to any damage or trauma that affects the structure, function, or appearance of the teeth. Tooth injuries can occur as a result of accidents, sports injuries, falls, or other types of physical trauma. There are several types of tooth injuries, including: 1. Fractures: A fracture is a crack or break in the tooth that can occur anywhere along the tooth's length. 2. Chips: A chip is a small piece of tooth that has been broken off. 3. Cracks: A crack is a long, narrow break in the tooth that can extend from the surface to the root. 4. Luxation: Luxation occurs when the tooth becomes dislodged from its socket. 5. Avulsion: Avulsion is a severe type of tooth injury in which the tooth is completely knocked out of the socket. Tooth injuries can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty chewing or speaking. In some cases, they may also lead to infection or other complications if left untreated. Treatment for tooth injuries may include restorative procedures such as fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy, as well as surgery in severe cases.

In the medical field, dental abutments refer to the part of a dental implant that is visible in the mouth and serves as the connection between the implant and the dental prosthesis (such as a crown or bridge). Dental abutments are typically made of materials such as titanium or zirconia and are designed to be biocompatible with the surrounding tissue and bone. They are usually screw-shaped and are placed into the implant site after the implant has healed and integrated with the surrounding bone. The dental abutment serves as the anchor for the dental prosthesis, providing stability and support for the artificial tooth or teeth. It also helps to distribute the forces of biting and chewing evenly across the implant and surrounding bone, reducing the risk of implant failure. Overall, dental abutments play a critical role in the success of dental implants and are an important component of modern dental prosthetics.

Dental pulp calcification is a condition in which calcium deposits form within the dental pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. This process can occur naturally as a result of aging or as a result of injury or infection to the tooth. Calcification of the dental pulp can cause the tooth to become brittle and more prone to cracking or breaking. It can also lead to pain and sensitivity, and in severe cases, may require treatment such as root canal therapy or extraction.

Periodontal diseases are a group of inflammatory conditions that affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, including the bone that surrounds the roots of the teeth. These diseases are caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and gums. If plaque is not removed through regular brushing and flossing, it can harden into tartar, which can irritate the gums and cause inflammation. There are several types of periodontal diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the mildest form of periodontal disease and is characterized by red, swollen, and tender gums that may bleed easily. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which is a more severe form of the disease that can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that can become infected and filled with bacteria. Over time, periodontitis can lead to the loss of teeth and bone. Periodontal diseases are common and affect millions of people worldwide. Risk factors for periodontal disease include poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, and certain medical conditions such as heart disease and stroke. Treatment for periodontal disease typically involves scaling and root planing, a procedure in which the dentist or periodontist removes plaque and tartar from the teeth and smooths the root surfaces to prevent further buildup. In some cases, more advanced treatments such as gum surgery or antibiotics may be necessary.

Mouth diseases refer to a wide range of medical conditions that affect the oral cavity, including the teeth, gums, tongue, and other structures in the mouth. These diseases can be caused by a variety of factors, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Some common mouth diseases include: 1. Dental caries (cavities): A bacterial infection that causes tooth decay and leads to the formation of cavities. 2. Periodontal disease: A group of infections that affect the gums, supporting structures of the teeth, and bone. 3. Oral cancer: A type of cancer that starts in the mouth, including the lips, tongue, gums, and throat. 4. Oral thrush: A fungal infection that affects the mouth and throat. 5. Leukoplakia: A white or gray patch on the inside of the mouth that can be a sign of cancer or other mouth diseases. 6. Oral lichen planus: A chronic inflammatory condition that affects the mouth and can cause painful sores. 7. Oral pemphigus: A rare autoimmune disorder that causes blistering in the mouth and other parts of the body. 8. Oral candidiasis (thrush): A fungal infection that affects the mouth and throat, often seen in people with weakened immune systems. Treatment for mouth diseases depends on the specific condition and its severity. It may include medications, surgery, lifestyle changes, and other interventions. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices can help prevent many mouth diseases.

In the medical field, a "Cuspid" refers to one of the four sharp, pointed teeth located in the upper and lower jaws, also known as the canines. These teeth are located on either side of the incisors and are used for tearing and holding food. The cuspid is an important part of the dental arch and plays a crucial role in proper chewing and speaking. Problems with the cuspid, such as decay or damage, can affect a person's ability to eat and speak properly, as well as their overall oral health.

In the medical field, a curriculum refers to a comprehensive plan or program of study that outlines the knowledge, skills, and experiences that medical students are expected to acquire during their education. The curriculum typically includes a combination of classroom instruction, laboratory work, clinical rotations, and other learning activities designed to prepare students for their future careers as healthcare professionals. The curriculum for medical students typically covers a wide range of topics, including anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, pathology, microbiology, medical ethics, and clinical skills. Medical schools may also offer electives or specialized tracks that allow students to focus on specific areas of interest, such as pediatrics, surgery, or public health. The curriculum is typically developed and maintained by a team of educators, administrators, and healthcare professionals, and is subject to ongoing review and revision to ensure that it remains current and relevant to the evolving needs of the medical field.

Age determination by teeth is a method used by forensic odontologists to estimate the age of a person based on the development and wear of their teeth. This method is commonly used in forensic investigations, particularly in cases where the age of a deceased individual is unknown or disputed. The process of age determination by teeth involves examining the teeth for signs of development, wear, and damage. The development of teeth can provide information about a person's age at death, as certain stages of tooth development are associated with specific ages. For example, the presence of certain types of baby teeth or the absence of certain adult teeth can indicate a person's age. Wear on the teeth can also provide information about a person's age, as the rate of tooth wear can vary depending on factors such as diet, oral hygiene, and genetics. Damage to the teeth, such as fractures or chips, can also provide clues about a person's age and lifestyle. Overall, age determination by teeth is a useful tool for forensic investigators, but it should be used in conjunction with other methods of age estimation to provide a more accurate picture of a person's age at death.

Dental deposits, also known as dental plaque or calculus, are accumulations of bacteria, food particles, and minerals that form on the teeth and gums. These deposits can harden over time and become tartar, which is a yellow or brown substance that can only be removed by a dental professional. Dental deposits can cause a variety of oral health problems, including gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. They can also contribute to the development of cavities and other dental problems if left untreated. To prevent dental deposits, it is important to practice good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly, using mouthwash, and visiting the dentist for regular cleanings. If dental deposits do form, they can be removed by a dental professional through a process called scaling and root planing.

Malocclusion is a term used in the medical field to describe a misalignment or improper fit of the teeth. It can refer to a variety of conditions, including overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, and spacing problems. Malocclusion can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, environmental factors, and habits such as thumb sucking or mouth breathing. Malocclusion can lead to a number of problems, including difficulty chewing, speech problems, and jaw pain. Treatment options for malocclusion may include orthodontic appliances such as braces or clear aligners, orthognathic surgery, or a combination of both.

Tooth erosion is a dental condition that occurs when the hard outer layer of the tooth, called the enamel, is worn away by acids. This can happen due to various factors, including exposure to acidic foods and drinks, frequent vomiting or regurgitation, certain medical conditions, and certain habits such as teeth grinding or clenching. Tooth erosion can cause a number of problems, including sensitivity to hot and cold, difficulty chewing, and an unattractive appearance of the teeth. In severe cases, it can lead to tooth decay and even tooth loss. Treatment for tooth erosion depends on the severity of the condition. In mild cases, simply changing one's diet and avoiding acidic foods and drinks may be enough to slow or stop the erosion. In more severe cases, a dentist may recommend fluoride treatments, dental bonding, or other restorative procedures to repair the damaged teeth.

In the medical field, "Bicuspid" refers to a condition where a person has two cusps (the pointed ends of the valves in the heart) instead of the normal three. This condition is also known as "bicuspid aortic valve" or "BAV." Bicuspid aortic valve is a common congenital heart defect that affects the aortic valve, which is responsible for regulating blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. In a bicuspid aortic valve, the two cusps may not function properly, leading to problems such as regurgitation (leaking of blood back into the heart), stenosis (narrowing of the valve), and aneurysm (ballooning of the aorta). Bicuspid aortic valve can be diagnosed through a physical examination, echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart), or other imaging tests. Treatment options may include medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.

In the medical field, "Mouth, Edentulous" refers to a condition where an individual has lost all of their natural teeth. This can occur due to various reasons such as tooth decay, gum disease, injury, or aging. An edentulous mouth can affect an individual's ability to chew, speak, and maintain good oral hygiene. Treatment options for an edentulous mouth may include dentures, dental implants, or other prosthetic devices to replace missing teeth and restore function and aesthetics.
