The whiteness of the teeth can be a sign of extreme health of the mouth and teeth; and some people do everything they can to keep their teeth whitening as possible, which includes several times brushing during the day, regular referrals to the dentist for the special cleaning of the teeth, and the use of bleaching or whitening products. But sometimes on the tooth surfaces, white opaque spots will be appearing. This white shade is distinct from other parts of the tooth; and its presence on the teeth is annoying for some people. The presence of white spots on the teeth can be a sign of their decay (1), so finding out the reasons is important. The main factors are involved in the formation of white spots can be summarized in 5 topics; fluorosis, plaque accumulation, diet, enamel hypoplasia, and sleeping with an open mouth.

Nowadays, when we enter a pharmacy, we come across a variety of healthcare products that come to the market every day. Types of masks, gels, detergents and etc., which may look identical in name and application but claim to be totally different and each has its own user extent. Some of these products are commercial in nature, and some are not so important in maintaining health, and in fact, one’s health is not dependent on them. Perhaps that’s why each of us never consumed some of these health and beauty products, and we do not even know them at all. If the product does not directly interact with our health, we do not need to carefully look at the need to how to consume them and do not curious about them, but when it comes to products that claim to protect our child’s health, the matter becomes more quite critical and wo.....

Introduction: To obtain success in the polymerization of restorative materials, obtaining a quality, it is necessary a light curing device and this in turn must be in proper operation. It is to be known that some other factors will influence these restorations as the emission and intensity of the light, adequate time of exposure and correct wavelength. Most of the three methods of light curing are used: High intensity in continuous light (High), increasing intensity (Soft-Start) and low (Low) intensity. The alteration between the above methods according to the time of exposure may cause different effects and should be chosen according to the need of the restorative procedure to be performed. Objective: To compare the photoactivation modes (High and Soft Start) emitted by two different devices (Dabi and Gnatus). All photo activators com.....

A patient presented with severe pain in the area of teeth #2 and #31. Prior to seeking dental care, the pain had been so severe together with other clinical manifestations that the patient sought medical attention for a heart attack. After elimination of the occurrence of a m.i., the pain was thought to be dental in origin and dental care was sought. No carious lesions or endodontic problems were found upon radiographic examination. However, careful oral examination revealed the presence of a crack transcending tooth #31. Following tooth extraction and immediate implant placement, no further pain was experienced by the patient......

An essential diagnostic challenge often faced by oral physicians is diagnosing soft tissue enlargements of the oral cavity. The fundamental reason being there are a diverse group of pathologic processes that can produce such lesions. Any intra-oral enlargement seen may represent a variation of normal anatomic structures, developmental anomalies, inflammation, cysts or even a neoplasm. Confined to these are the group of reactive hyperplasias of the oral cavity, which develop in response to a chronic, recurring tissue injury that stimulates an exuberant or excessive tissue repair response. Pyogenic granuloma comes nder as one of the most common entities responsible for causing soft tissue enlargements......

One of the most common problems that parents with children with autism have is to take them to a doctor’s or dentist’s office. Even if the office environment is friendly and the dentist or doctor or their assistants are kind to the child, children who have autism do not like others to come close to them, touch them, and when they are alone, someone is in contact with their bodies. When children’s physical environment is invaded, they react to this behavior and do not cooperate with the other person, and sometimes they even become aggressive. It should be said that in many cases, these children are torn apart. There are many problems when a child visits a dentist’s office. For example, special smells, a tray of dental instruments, and devices and tools may pose a threat to the peaceful world of these children. For a child with auti.....

Diabetes was, is and will be a major cause of concern in the healthcare sector. The control of diabetes has been a mission since a long time all over the world. The use of the glucometer has made life easier for the common man. However the lack of knowledge regarding the disposal of the glucose strips and needles has also become a matter of concern. A multi-nation study reflected that about 46.9% to 67.6% of diabetics disposed the sharps into the household bins and that less than 10% used, specific containers [1]. In similar studies, improper disposal of sharps was found to be as high as 80-90% [2,3]. A study from Pakistan showed that more than 90% patients discarded them into the household bin [4]. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research, India Diabet.....

We live in a unique moment in the world context, where it is necessary to emphasize that respect for the other, in its diversity as an individual, constitutes the north for a good coexistence and a fundamental element for the health. And this does not represent novelty. However, changing patterns of performance indicators do not seem to contemplate, in a balanced way, the universe of possible characteristics of human beings; implement pre-established roadmaps that can lead to a high level of stress and overcome inherent adaptation limits. I direct this approach for the health team. Over the course of the last few decades we have observed extreme exhaustion, lack of service, lack of motivation, commitment to the physical and m.....

Diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) have been changing for years to enable easier and faster ways to confirm diagnosis especially during last decade. They lead to earlier treatment of patients with MS what gives higher likelihood to keep patients fit and capable of working. Dissemination in time (DIT) and in space (DIS) are general rules which are necessary to diagnose MS what was maintained in all diagnostic criteria, which have been published up till now[1]. Current criteria were published in 2017 and enable diagnosing MS even in patients, who earlier could not have MS diagnosed. This results from the facts that CSF oligoclonal bands present in patients with DIS without DIT are enough to MS diagnose[2]. Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a dise.....
