Incisor toothwear caused by a dietary habit involving chillies-a case report.

Toothwear cases can vary dramatically in their presentation, with some displaying quite peculiar patterns. This case report outlines a patient's unusual eating habit that had led to a localized pattern of toothwear affecting his maxillary and mandibular central incisors. The patient had a habit of eating fresh chillies between his incisors after most evening meals; this was followed by immediate toothbrushing, which he had done for many years. This case illustrates that, not only is diet analysis important in identifying aetiological factors in toothwear cases, but also dietary habits.

Advances in dental public health.

Dental public health has been defined as 'the science and art of preventing oral diseases, promoting oral health and improving the quality of life through the organised efforts of society'. Dental practitioners most often have the oral health of individual patients as their primary focus but the aim of public health is to benefit populations. Early developments in dental public health were concerned largely with demonstrating levels of disease and with treatment services. With greater appreciation of the nature of oral health and disease, and of their determinants has come recognition of the need for wider public health action if the effects of prevention and oral health promotion are to be maximized.

Loss of tooth structure associated with chronic regurgitation and vomiting.

In summary, a teenaged patient had generalized loss of tooth structure. As the patient previously had a normal dental history and as his family history was negative, many causative factors were quickly ruled out. Finally, after obtaining full cooperation of the patient and reviewing the complete medical records, it was concluded that the loss of tooth structure resulted from demineralization by acidic gastric contents, due to chronic regurgitation and vomiting.

Dental sequelae to the binge-purge syndrome (bulimia): report of cases.

The "thin-is-in" syndrome that obsesses many young people today leads to many severe medical and dental complications. Dental damage that follows the binge-purge episodes is reduced by strict management of oral hygiene; the damage is not totally correctable until the habit is well controlled through proper psychotherapy.

Oral findings in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa: a study of 47 cases.

These two clinically oriented articles deal with problems dentists are seeing more frequently. One hospital dental service sees an average of four to five patients weekly with eating disorders. The first article is a research study discussing problems found in 47 study participants with the eating disorders anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. The second article describes a helpful technique for oral rehabilitation.

Sensitivity restored of Class V abrasion/erosion lesions.

The effectiveness of restorative treatment in reducing sensitivity associated with the Class V erosion/abrasion lesion was evaluated and the efficacy of three tooth-colored restorative materials in reducing sensitivity was compared. The 108 lesions were restored with either glass ionomer restorative material, composite resin with a dentin bonding agent, or composite resin with a dentin bonding agent and a glass ionomer liner. Composite resin with glass-ionomer liner restorations significantly reduced sensitivity to air and hot and cold water. Glass ionomer restorations and restorations with composite resin and a dentin bonding agent significantly reduced sensitivity but were also associated with increased sensitivity to air and cold respectively in 20% to 30% of the lesions restored when evaluated at 6 months.

A clinical evaluation of a resin-modified. Glass ionomer restorative material.

Compomers, resin-modified glass ionomers, were developed to improve the physical properties and clinical handling of glass ionomers. Compomers can be designed to be light-activated and used as restoratives or liners. This article reports data collected up to 12 months after placement of both compomer restorations and liners and is part of an ongoing study evaluating the performance of this material. Based on this data, the authors conclude that this new generation of light-activated glass-ionomer restoratives provides clinical results comparable to those recorded for composite resins at 12 months.
