Private Dentistry launches new campaign

Private Dentistry launches new campaignPrivate Dentistry has decided to add its support to the growing number of dental professionals arguing for minimally invasive treatment.

Just as techniques and technology evolve, so too does Private Dentistry, and this year the Private Dentistry campaign will be backing minimal intervention dentistry. We hope this will have the full support of the many respected authorities on the subject and all forward-looking general practitioners, and see more dentists use minimally invasive techniques wherever clinically possible – whether for veneers, crowns or cavities.

Minimal intervention dentistry, carried out in order to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible, is taking the profession by storm. Whenever you see the above stamp on an article, you’ll know the content and the author is in support of the Private Dentistry minimal intervention campaign for more conservative, less destructive treatment.

Liquorice fights tooth decay

Liquorice fights tooth decayScientists have pinpointed two substances in liquorice that kill the major bacteria responsible for tooth decay and gum disease.

In a study in the Journal of Natural Products, the team says these substances may have a role in treating and preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

Stefan Gafner and his colleagues explain that the dried root of the liquorice plant is a common treatment in Chinese traditional medicine, especially as a way to enhance the activity of other herbal ingredients or as a flavouring.

To test whether the sweet root could combat the bacteria that cause gum disease and cavities, the researchers took a closer look at various substances in liquorice. They found that two of the liquorice compounds, licoricidin and licorisoflavan A, were the most effective antibacterial substances.

These substances killed two of the major bacteria responsible for dental cavities and two of the bacteria that promote gum disease.

One of the compounds – licoricidin – also killed a third gum disease bacterium.

The researchers say that these substances could treat or even prevent oral infections.

Calling all young dentists

Young Dentists HandbookThe second edition of the Young Dentist’s Handbook is hot off the press and will be sent to all final–year dental students throughout the UK, foundation dentists and those who qualified in the last one to five years.

It is designed to provide relevant and practical information for taking those first steps into the world of dentistry.

An update to the inaugural 2010 edition, the guide now includes key areas such as dental hypnosis, laser regulations, tax issues for young dentists and how to build the perfect CV.

The 2011 Young Dentists Handbook provides information on the various – and sometimes confusing – career options available to graduates as they leave dental school. Regardless of what career is considered, the guide also contains essential advice on various aspects such as registration, CPD and the first tasks to tackle after qualifying, as well as pearls of wisdom from Nairn Wilson, Andrew Eder and Martin Nimmo.

The publication also provides readers with an index of the major associations and the dental media, providing vital sources for further reference. In addition, it also contains an exhaustive list of common abbreviations that may crop up in practice, making this an essential reference guide for the young dentist.

This publication is available to order at £20 each. To order extra copies of the Young Dentists Handbook 2011, call 01923 851 777 or email subscriptions@fmc.co.uk.
