"Perception Aesthetics And Smile Design": A New Concept In Creating Natural Smiles
A new website and YouTube video developed by Paul Chalifoux, DDS of Wellesley, Massachusetts,
introduces the concept "Perception Aesthetics and Smile Design" to the public. The concept was
introduced to dentists in an article "Perception Esthetics: Factors that Affect Smile Design"
published in the Journal of Esthetic Dentistry in 1996.

bonds between the white filling and the tooth quickly age and degrade
Tooth-colored fillings may be more attractive than silver ones, but the bonds between the white
filling and the tooth quickly age and degrade. A Medical College of Georgia researcher hopes a
new nanotechnology technique will extend the fillings' longevity.

New tool to detect early signs of plaque build-up
January 17th, 2009 - 4:56 pm ICT by IANS -

London, Jan 17 (IANS) A new dental probe developed by scientists will detect the very
earliest signs of plaque build-up.The toothbrush-sized product has a blue light at
its tip, which, when shone around the mouth and viewed through yellow glasses with a
red filter, allows plaque to be seen easily as a red glow.

Dentists currently use disclosing agents in tablet form to uncover tooth decay and
plaque but these often stain the mouth and taste unpleasant.

Sue Higham, professor at the Liverpool University School of Dental Sciences, who led
the study, said: It is extremely difficult to get rid of all plaque in the mouth.
Left undisturbed it becomes what we call ‘mature’ plaque and gets thicker. This is
what leads to gingivitis, or bleeding gums, and decay.

Early stage plaque is invisible, and so this device will show people the parts of
the mouth that they are neglecting when they brush their teeth, enabling them to
remove plaque before it becomes a problem,she said.

Inspektor TC is designed so that people can easily incorporate it into their daily
dental hygiene routine at home. We now hope to work with industry partners to develop
this prototype so that people can use it in the home to identify plaque before any
serious dental work is needed.

Children in Britain have had an average of 2.5 teeth filled or removed by the age of
15 because of tooth decay. For young people alone, 45 million pounds is currently
being spent every year on the problem, said a Liverpool release.

The team has now received a Medical Futures Innovation Award for the product
- a commendation which acknowledges significant innovation in science.

A healthy lifestyle can have an unhealthy effect on teeth

GSK reveals that Modern Lifestyle attacks teeth A healthy lifestyle can have an unhealthy
effect on teeth GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the leading oral care expert, has revealed a link
between the acid erosion of teeth and the modern diet. Acid erosion is the wear to tooth
enamel caused by the 21st century lifestyle which threatens the teeth of both men and women
of all ages. This dental condition is a form of erosion that is caused by acid softening
the surface of the tooth’s enamel and which results in a reduced enamel thickness which
can lead to changes to the teeth such as changes to texture, shape and appearance.
Teeth can also become sensitive. Today there is generally a greater understanding about
lifestyle, health and nutrition. The modern diet is considered healthier than in the past
with more low sugar and low fat options, but GSK warns that the food and drink consumed as
part of the modern diet is often highly acidic and can irreversibly damage teeth. There is
a trend to drink fruit juice, which is seen as more healthy and nutritious, and to choose
low calorie drinks and low fat food options. But acid found in many fruits, fruit juices,
teas, vinegar and certain diet or non-diet soft drinks such as fizzy colas, can cause the
softening of the teeth’s enamel surface making the enamel prone to wear. Modern cooking
trends can also affect the acidic content of food. Research from the University of Dundee
in the United Kingdom found that roasting vegetables such as courgettes, onions and peppers
in the oven increased their acidity compared with traditional cooking methods such as stewing
and boiling. Other demands of modern life have also contributed to the increased risk of
Acid Erosion to teeth ...
