Researchers study relationship of oral cancers and periodontal disease

Researchers study relationship of oral cancers and periodontal disease

Dental Health • Jul 14, 2010


Today during the 88th General Session & Exhibition of the International Association for Dental Research, in Barcelona, Spain, presenting author J. Meyle, Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany, will present an abstract titled “P. gingivalis Infection and Immune Evasion of Oral Carcinomas.”

Meyle and his team are investigating the relationship of oral cancers and periodontal disease. They achieved results by infecting cell carcinoma cells SCC-25 with Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.) W83. After 48h the cells were stained with antibodies against human B7-H1, B7-DC and TLR4 and analysed by flow cytometry. RNA was extracted after 24h and gene expression of B7-H1, B7DC, TLR4, IFN-? and IL-10 was quantified by real time PCR and analysed by the ??CT method.

Are Your Teeth Killing You?

Are Your Teeth Killing You?

Asks Richmond Smile Center Founder Charles W. Martin, D.D.S.

RICHMOND, Va., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- For most people, the words diabetes, heart disease and cancer don't conjure up thoughts of the dentist. However, according to the new book Are Your Teeth Killing You? by Charles W. Martin, D.D.S. (ISBN 978-1-59932-179-0, BarberCosby), oral health and overall body health are inextricably linked -- and poor oral health can indicate or lead to serious systemic problems.


In fact, says Dr. Martin, founder of the Richmond Smile Center (http://www.richmondsmilecenter.com), research shows gum disease contributes to a host of systemic problems, including heart disease, stroke and cancer; increases a woman's chances of delivering a pre-term, low-weight baby; and causes further problems for people with diabetes, osteoporosis and respiratory diseases. Because dental check-ups are recommended more frequently than physicals, dentists are often the first to notice early warning signs of serious health problems.


The link between gum disease and other diseases boils down to bacteria. Are Your Teeth Killing You? (available at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com or directly from the Richmond Smile Center, 888-22-SMILES) explains why the mouth, particularly under the gums, is the perfect bacteria breeding ground and how the bacteria multiplying there can have devastating effects on the body. The result is chronic systemic inflammation, a concept emerging rapidly at the forefront of medicine. The National Institutes of Health reports that gum disease affects up to 80% of adults in the U.S.


Unfortunately, far too many people are unaware of the damage they're causing their bodies by neglecting their oral health. For that reason, the link between oral health and systemic inflammation is a key focus of Dr. Martin's practice at the Richmond Smile Center. With over 30 years of experience and extensive post-doctoral training under his belt, Dr. Martin combines gentle, friendly dentistry with a practice treating even the most difficult dental cases. He is particularly passionate about educating the public on how to take control of their health through better oral care.


"What we didn't know about the mouth-body connection before has implications and applications in everyday life for everyone," Dr. Martin explained. "What we now know and what we research increasingly shows if the mouth isn't healthy, the body won't be either. People need to hear that message."

Too Much Tea can cause bone Problems

Too Much Tea can cause bone Problems
15 July 2010

“The additional fluoride from drinking two to four cups of tea a day won’t harm anyone; it’s the very heavy tea drinkers who could get in trouble,” said Dr. Gary Whitford, Regents Professor of oral biology in the School of Dentistry. He presented his findings today at the 2010 International Association of Dental Research Conference in Barcelona, Spain

Wales gains new Dental Unit

A new state-of-the-art dental unit has just opened in Porth, Wales, boasting some of the worlds most advanced dental technology. Initially, the unit functions as a training centre for dentists. For such purposes the unit contains cameras in one of its surgeries that feed back to a screen where dental members can study the procedures. The unit also contains an air conditioned conference centre that can seat up to 120 people as well as a specialised training centre that has 18 individual workstations, where the dentists can practice their skills on dummy models known as ‘phantom heads’.

After a two-year long training scheme, ten dentists will take residence in the unit, which will function as a fully working surgery. Supervising them will be an experienced team of dental surgeons. Using a surgical operating microscope, dentists will also be able to examine and treat root canal problems in a far more effective way than before, due to the detailed photographs of root canal systems that the microscope can produce.

Make your dentist your first stop in dealing with bad breath

Whether you call it bad breath or halitosis, it's an unpleasant condition that's cause for embarrassment. If you're concerned about bad breath, see your dentist. He or she can help identify the cause and, if it's due to an oral condition, develop a treatment plan to help eliminate it.
Dentists are taught in dental school about the oral causes of bad breath. Regular checkups will allow your dentist to detect any problems such as periodontal disease, a dry mouth or other disorders that may be the cause of bad breath. Maintaining good oral hygiene, eliminating periodontal disease and scheduling regular professional cleanings are essential to reducing bad breath. Read more
