Advancement in tissue engineering promotes oral wound healing
Oral tissue engineering for transplantation to aid wound healing in mouth (oral cavity) reconstruction has taken a significant step forward with a Netherlands-based research team's successful development of a gum tissue (gingival) substitute that can be used for reconstruction in the oral cavity. view more (2009-02-03)
Prevent periodontitis to reduce the risk of head and neck cancer
Chronic periodontitis, a form of gum disease, is an independent risk factor for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. This suggests the need for increased efforts to prevent and treat periodontitis as a possible means to reduce the risk of this form of cancer. view more (2009-09-08)

Oestrogen-replacement Therapy From Skin Patches Not Associated With Venous Blood Clots (p 428)
French authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that oestrogen replacement therapy (ERT) given by skin patches or gel rather than orally may cause fewer venous blood clots (a recognised side-effect of ERT). Oral ERT activates blood coagulation and increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in postmenopausal women.... view more... (2003-08-06)

Tooth loss strongly linked to risk of esophageal, head and neck, and lung cancer
Studying thousands of patients, Japanese researchers have found a strong link between tooth loss and increased risk of three cancers - esophageal, head and neck, and lung. They suggest that preservation of teeth may decrease risk of developing these diseases. view more (2008-05-14)

Salivary diagnostics, the 'magic mirror' to your health ... at your personal computer
Accuracy, convenience, and non-invasiveness are the most critical characteristics for any diagnostic tool. A new concept, Salivaomics Knowledge Base (SKB), an in silico (i.e., performed on computer or via computer simulation) saliva diagnostic atlas, is launching today during the 37th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Dental Research... view more...
