Abstract

Although the application of computers in dental hygiene has been minimal, the opportunities are limitless to enhance performance in all areas. This article includes a description of the roles of computers in clinical practice, practice management, dental hygiene education, and research. Even though several existing programs may be applicable for use in dental hygiene, there is a need for establishing programs unique to dental hygiene.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
