A systematic review Author(s): Adriana Jacoba Kouwenberg*; G Mensink; MWA Van Geldorp; J Schaap; RG Bentvelsen; JE Bergsma Journal: Journal of Dental Problems and Solutions Journal ISSN: 2394-8418 Abstract: Routine screening for infectious dental foci prior to elective heart valve replacement may help prevent postoperative Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis (PVE), a potentially fatal complication. This systematic review assesses the effect of routine screening for infectious dental foci on the incidence of postoperative PVE. The Cochrane Library, PubMed and EMBASE databases were all searched for relevant primary studies. The GRADE system was used to rate the studies. Three primary studies with a very low level of evidence were included in the review. No significant difference was found between the incidence of PVE in groups with or without routine screening for infectious dental foci prior to heart valve replacement. The results of this review do not support or disprove the need for preoperative screening for infectious dental foci to prevent PVE in patients undergoing heart valve replacement. Further research is necessary. #AdvancedBleedingGums #CoronalFracture #DentalAnesthesiaAndSedation #DentalPlaque #DentalRadiology #DentistryAndDiabetes #GumCancer #GumInfection #OcclusalSplint #OralLeukoplakia #Orthodentistry #Periodentistry #RootCanalTreatment #DentalRestoration #CosmeticDentistry #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #OpenAccess #ScientificJournals #PeerReviewedJournals #OpenAccessPublishers #MinimalInterventionDentistry #OralAndMaxillofacialSurgery #DentalInstruments #Xerostomia #ForensicOdontology #DentalTraumatology #ToothBleaching #RootEndSurgery

Are you familiar with the importance of a urinalysis? This test of your urine can help detect a range of medical conditions, from urinary tract infections to kidney problems and diabetes. It can also monitor the progress of some treatments. During a urinalysis, healthcare professionals will check your urine for color, appearance, odor, pH level, and the presence of substances like blood, protein, glucose, ketones, and bilirubin. They'll also look for cells, crystals, casts, and bacteria. Whether you're having a checkup, surgery, or are pregnant, a urinalysis can provide valuable health insights. #urinalysis #healthcare #medicaltesting

Clinically differentiating one from the other as a specific lesion is often difficult and requires histopathology examination. It predominantly affects adolescents and young adults, but rarely seen in infants. We report here a clinical case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 3 month old infant .clinical and histopathological features along with etiopathogenesis and differential diagnosis are also discussed. #PeripheralOssifyingFibroma #GingivalOvergrowth #PyogenicGranuloma #PeripheralCementoOssifyingFibroma #AdvancedBleedingGums #CoronalFracture #DentalAnesthesiaAndSedation #DentalPlaque #DentalRadiology #DentistryAndDiabetes #GumCancer #GumInfection #OcclusalSplint #OralLeukoplakia #Orthodentistry #Periodentistry #RootCanalTreatment #DentalRestoration #CosmeticDentistry #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #OpenAccess #ScientificJournals #PeerReviewedJournals #OpenAccessPublishers #MinimalInterventionDentistry #OralAndMaxillofacialSurgery #DentalInstruments #Xerostomia #ForensicOdontology #DentalTraumatology #ToothBleaching #RootEndSurgery

For Prescribing Information and Boxed Warning, see https://bit.ly/3StGv1T. BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA approved for 3 areas - for treating moderate to severe glabellar lines, lateral canthal lines, and forehead lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic’s 4th FDA approved indication temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe platysma bands in adults.2 - BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is indicated in adult patients for the temporary improvement in the appearance of: - Moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity - Moderate to severe lateral canthal lines associated with orbicularis oculi activity - Moderate to severe forehead lines associated with frontalis activity - Moderate to severe platysma bands associated with platysma muscle activity IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION, INCLUDING BOXED WARNING WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT Postmarketing reports indicate that the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity, but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have an underlying condition that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses and approved indications, cases of spread of effect have been reported at doses comparable to those used to treat cervical dystonia and spasticity and at lower doses.

It's a pleasure to have this article published. Treatment of osteonecrosis of the jaw with bluem oral gel. 🇧🇷 By Tatiana Deliberador. 👉𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) can be a debilitating complication that can arise in patients who took or are taking antiresorptive (including bisphosphonates) or antiangiogenic agents, leading to visible bone or a fistula that continues for more than eight weeks, without any history of radiotherapy. This clinical case aimed to describe the treatment of MRONJ with topical active oxygen therapy using bluem oral gel. A 63-year-old female patient that had been taking weekly sodium alendronate (70 mg) for four years by oral via, presented discomfort and #implant movement in the 46 region, by that underwent #surgical extraction of the implant. After three months the patient returned and was diagnosed with MRONJ. Initially, conventional therapies were performed, including surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy, but without #success. The patient still had clinical signs of osteonecrosis six months after the implant extraction. The entire #socket was then filled with bluem oral gel by topical application. The patient was instructed to continue applying the gel to the region every 8 hours for 15 days. After this period, the patient returned, and it was observed that the #wound was in the healing process, with the presence of epithelialized tissue and without bone exposure. The 2-year clinical follow-up showed the lesion had healed entirely, and a new implant was installed. After the osseointegration period, the final prosthesis was placed. The patient remains under clinical follow-up. Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of bluem oral gel in this clinical case assisted in the recovery of the osteonecrosis lesion. 👉 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭? https://lnkd.in/egS2t7DN Special thanks to Tatiana Deliberador #healthcare #health #dental #dentist #dentalcare #oralhealth

How often do we take the time to ensure our patients truly understand their medications? 💊 Recently, I had an experience with a patient being discharged after a total hip replacement. The patient's family member was visibly stressed about the medication list and was particularly concerned about celecoxib, mistakenly believing it was another narcotic. They were adamant about avoiding around-the-clock narcotic use, misunderstanding its purpose. Taking the time to explain that celecoxib is not a narcotic, but rather an anti-inflammatory medication that not only helps with pain but also prevents heterotopic ossification after surgery, made a significant difference. Once they understood its importance, using simple terminology, they felt calmer and more open to the discharge medication regimen. This experience reinforced for me the crucial role of patient education. By providing clear and thorough information, we empower our patients and their families to make informed decisions about their health. It’s a reminder that a little time spent on education can lead to better outcomes and peace of mind. How do you ensure your patients understand their medications?

𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. They form in central venous catheters, endotracheal tubes, urinary catheters and orthopaedic devices. They cause harm and increase the duration of hospital stays. Antibiotic control and cleaning techniques may be ineffective. Often biofilms result in the medical device needing to be removed.   The solution isn’t simple. Biofilms produce a matrix of polymeric substances which enhance their resistance to antimicrobials. But understanding how biofilms form and how they can be managed is key to the development of safe and effective medical devices.   We have over 25 years of specialist scientific knowledge in medical devices and are at the forefront of biofilm research. These combined specialisms make us the ideal partner for medical device development and testing. For example, in the field of orthopaedics, we have a lot of experience in evaluating the antimicrobial and antibiofilm ability of both implantable devices and bone cements. We offer both standard and customised testing and work closely with both commercial and non-commercial partners who are developing new technologies or are keen to improve the performance of existing ones.   The work can be challenging, but it’s always worth doing. 💪 https://www.5dhpg.com/ #biofilm #testing #research #orthopaedics #antimicrobial
