Dental practices urged to install amalgam separator

SACRAMENTO, Calif., U.S.: The use of dental amalgam contributes to mercury pollution and poses an environmental threat to ecosystems.

Facilities that can certify that they do not place or remove dental amalgam, except under limited circumstances, are exempt from this rule.

Project ECHO trains dentists through video conferencing platform

HOUSTON, U.S.: Staff at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Dentistry have recently presented the first online lecture on oral and maxillofacial lesions through Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes). The project connects expert specialists at academic medical centers with primary care clinicians in rural and underserved locations worldwide through what is named teleECHO technology.

Oral appliances may be highly effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea

NEW YORK, U.S.: Certain traits may define a type of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) that can be effectively treated with an oral appliance, according to new research. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is considered the gold standard for preventing the obstruction by blowing air through a mask into the nose and throat. However, many patients have trouble sleeping with CPAP. For these patients, an oral appliance that moves the lower jaw forward to prevent the periods of obstructed airflow offers an alternative.

Oral organs of fish capable of tissue regeneration

LONDON, U.K./ATLANTA, U.S.: After examining tooth renewal in animals that have tooth replacement and regenerative abilities, researchers from the U.K. and the U.S. identified similarities between the teeth and taste buds of a fish. The results suggest that the fish’s oral organs are able to regenerate tissue and can be manipulated to express the characteristics of different tissue types, under the regulation of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway.

Artificial intelligence advances cancer therapy

CLEVELAND, U.S.: In a recent advancement in cancer research, scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to help customize the radiation dosage for individual patient treatments. An earlier study showed that radiation therapy for throat cancer can produce better results than transoral robotic surgery (TORS). This latest development may help physicians in all fields prescribe better treatments and save more lives.
