Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La carie dentaire est une maladie complexe, chronique, multifactorielle, infectieuse et transmissible. A ce titre, sa prévention apparaît comme une priorité de santé publique et tient une place prépondérante en odontologie. Pour éradiquer la maladie carieuse, le fluor a tenu une place essentielle. Mais l'importance du sucre, sa participation au métabolisme bactérien, en font une cible prépondérante des mesures de prévention. Les propriétés fermentescibles des sucres induisent leur pouvoir cariogène. Les chercheurs et les expérimentateurs se sont intéressés aux sucres non fermentescibles : les sucres de substitution. L'un d'eux a fait l'objet de nombreuses publications et essais : le xylitol. C'est à son rôle dans la prévention de la cariogénèse qu'est consacrée cette thèse. Nous serons ainsi amenés à préciser son mécanisme d'action tant sur la flore microbienne, notamment le streptocoque mutans (SM) que sur la plaque dentaire. Plutôt que de nous limiter à une simple revue des expérimentations et articles parus, nous avons voulu dans un souci de rigueur, analyser les publications odontologiques concernant le xylitol, en les validant à travers des critères de qualité que nous exposerons. Nous centrerons notre étude principalement sur l'utilisation des gommes. Ce support, facile d'administration et particulièrement toléré par l'enfant, a de nombreux avantages tel que: son goût agréable, sa non toxicité, son coût modéré ; au terme de cette évaluation, nous nous proposerons de dégager, si faire se peut, un protocole de recommandation d'utilisation du xylitol.
Download or read book Toothpastes written by C. van Loveren and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the mass-marketed introduction of fluoride in toothpaste in the 1950s, toothbrushing with paste became indispensable for good oral health. Both the industry and the dental profession had a shared interest in advocating the widespread correct use of good quality toothpaste. This publication starts with a general introduction on the purpose, history and composition of toothpaste. The following chapters deal with the clinical evidence of its effectiveness in caries prevention, reducing and preventing plaque, gin-givitis, halitosis, and calculus formation, facilitating removal and prevention of extrinsic stain, and preventing dentine hypersensitivity and erosion. Later chapters provide valuable information on the abrasiveness of the pastes, the substantivity of active ingredients in the oral cavity and the possible models to study the effectiveness of the pastes when full-scale clinical trials are not possible. The final chapter focuses on the frequency of toothbrushing and post-brushing rinsing behavior. The book provides indispensable information for dentists, dental students and community dental programs on whether toothpastes can be recommended to patients for specific aims and how to use them to obtain the best effect.

Download or read book Sweeteners and Sugar Alternatives in Food Technology written by Helen Mitchell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sugar replacement in food and beverage manufacture no longer hasjust an economic benefit. The use of ingredients to improve thenutritional status of a food product is now one of the majordriving forces in new product development. It is thereforeimportant, as options for sugar replacement continue to increase,that expert knowledge and information in this area is readilyavailable. Sweeteners and Sugar Alternatives in Food Technologyprovides the information required for sweetening and functionalsolutions, enabling manufacturers to produce processed foods thatnot only taste and perform as well as sugar-based products, butalso offer consumer benefits such as calorie reduction, dentalhealth benefits, digestive health benefits and improvements in longterm disease risk through strategies such as dietary glycaemiccontrol. Part I of this comprehensive book addresses these healthand nutritional considerations. Part II covers non-nutritive,high-intensity sweeteners, providing insights into blendingopportunities for qualitative and quantitative sweetnessimprovement as well as exhaustive application opportunities. PartIII deals with reduced calorie bulk sweeteners, which offer bulkwith fewer calories than sugar, and includes both the commerciallysuccessful polyols as well as tagatose, an emerging functional bulksweetener. Part IV looks at the less well-established sweetenersthat do not conform in all respects to what may be considered to bestandard sweetening properties. Finally, Part V examines bulkingagents and multifunctional ingredients. Summary tables at the endof each section provide valuable, concentrated data on each of thesweeteners covered. The book is directed at food scientists andtechnologists as well as ingredients suppliers.

Download or read book Particulate Products written by Henk G. Merkus and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Particulate products make up around 80% of chemical products, from all industry sectors. Examples given in this book include the construction materials, fine ceramics and concrete; the delicacies, chocolate and ice cream; pharmaceutical, powders, medical inhalers and sun screen; liquid and powder paints. Size distribution and the shape of the particles provide for different functionalities in these products. Some functions are general, others specific. General functions are powder flow and require – at the typical particulate concentrations of these products – that the particles cause adequate rheological behavior during processing and/or for product performance. Therefore, this book addresses particle packing as well as its relation to powder flow and rheological behavior. Moreover, general relationships to particle size are discussed for e.g. color and sensorial aspects of particulate products. Product-specific functionalities are often relevant for comparable product groups. Particle size distribution and shape provide, for example, the following functionalities: - dense particle packing in relation to sufficient strength is required in concrete construction, ceramic objects and pharmaceutical tablets - good sensorial properties (mouthfeel) to chocolate and ice cream - effective dissolution, flow and compression properties for pharmaceutical powders - adequate hiding power and effective coloring of paints for protection and the desired esthetical appeal of the objects - adequate protection of our body against sun light by sunscreen - effective particle transport and deposition to desired locations for medical inhalers and powder paints. Adequate particle size distribution, shape and porosity of particulate products have to be achieved in order to reach optimum product performance. This requires adequate management of design and development as well as sufficient knowledge of the underlying principles of physics and chemistry. Moreover, flammability, explosivity and other health hazards from powders, during handling, are taken into account. This is necessary, since great risks may be involved. In all aspects, the most relevant parameters of the size distribution (and particle shape) have to be selected. In this book, experts in the different product fields have contributed to the product chapters. This provides optimum information on what particulate aspects are most relevant for behavior and performance within specified industrial products and how optimum results can be obtained. It differs from other books in the way that the critical aspects of different products are reported, so that similarities and differences can be identified. We trust that this approach will lead to improved optimization in design, development and quality of many particulate products.
Download or read book Foreign Body Gingivitis written by Sara Gordon and published by National Library of Canada = Bibliothèque nationale du Canada. This book was released on 1996 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gingival inflammation due to foreign bodies in connective tissues is termed Foreign Body Gingivitis (FBG). It is not commonly recognized by clinicians and has not been fully described in the literature. This thesis describes the demographic, clinical, and histopathological findings in 61 cases of FBG. Clinical and histologic criteria for its diagnosis are proposed. FBG presented most frequently as a red or red-and-white painful chronic lesion. It was more common in females and occurred at a mean age of 48. Microscopically, foreign bodies were seen in moderate to severe inflammation which was frequently granulomatous and sometimes lichenoid. The foreign bodies were examined by energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDX) to identify their elemental composition and potential source. This analysis indicated most foreign bodies were of probable dental material origin, usually abrasives. It is postulated that they are iatrogenically introduced during routine dental procedures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Warren Belasco is a witty, wonderfully observant guide to the hopes and fears that every era projects onto its culinary future. This enlightening study reads like time-travel for foodies."—Laura Shapiro, author of Something From the Oven: Reinventing Dinner in 1950s America "In his insightful look at human imaginings about their food and its future sufficiency, Warren Belasco makes use of everything from academic papers, films, and fiction to journalism, advertising and world’s fairs to trace a pattern of public concern over two centuries. His wide-ranging scholarship humbles all would-be futurists by reminding us that ours is not the first generation, nor is it likely to be the last, to argue inconclusively about whether we can best feed the world with more spoons, better manners or a larger pie. Truly painless education; a wonderful read!"—Joan Dye Gussow, author This Organic Life "Warren Belasco serves up an intellectual feast, brilliantly dissecting two centuries of expectations regarding the future of food and hunger. Meals to Come provides an essential guide to thinking clearly about the worrisome question as to whether the world can ever be adequately and equitably fed."—Joseph J. Corn, co-author of Yesterday's Tomorrows: Past Visions of the American Future "This astute, sly, warmly human critique of the basic belly issues that have absorbed and defined Americans politically, socially, and economically for the past 200 years is a knockout. Warren Belasco’s important book, crammed with knowledge, is absolutely necessary for an understanding of where we are now."—Betty Fussell, author of My Kitchen Wars

Book excerpt: "This anthology contains presentations given at the symposium 'Food, Symbols and Everyday-life' arranged in Denmark in September 1990. The study of food and eating involves many perspectives: sociological, anthropological, psychological as well as ethnological, historical and other perspectives in the field of the humanities. This may reflect food as a very basic matter, a matter that all of us are confronted with as individuals several times a day; for some of us as something to consume, for others as something to organize. Food has been dealt with only fleetingly in Nordic social research. New and interesting theoretical possibilities may emerge from focusing more thoroughly on this relatively unexplored area of human life."--Back of dust jacket.

Download or read book Particle Size Measurements written by Henk G. Merkus and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-01-07 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the practical aspects of particle size measurement: a major difference with existing books, which have a more theoretical approach. Of course, the emphasis still lies on the measurement techniques. For optimum application, their theoretical background is accompanied by quantitative quality aspects, limitations and problem identification. In addition the book covers the phenomena of sampling and dispersion of powders, either of which may be dominant in the overall analysis error. Moreover, there are chapters on the general aspects of quality for particle size analysis, quality management, reference materials and written standards, in- and on-line measurement, definitions and multilingual terminology, and on the statistics required for adequate interpretation of results. Importantly, a relation is made to product performance, both during processing as well as in final application. In view of its set-up, this book is well suited to support particle size measurement courses.
Download or read book Ordinary Consumption written by Jukka Groncow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sociology of consumption has concentrated unduly on the more spectacular and visual aspects of contemporary consumer behaviour, thereby constructing an unbalanced and misleading view. This collection emphasises ordinary rather than extraordinary items, routine and repetitive behaviour rather than conscious decision-making. It studies practical contexts of use rather than decisions to purchase and analyses collective identification rather than personal identity. Each essay argues one or more of these points, for the most part using new empirical material from several different national contexts. The topics analysed include shopping in Taiwan, second-home ownership in France, environmental considerations concerning food choice in Denmark, the take up of new domestic technologies in Finland and kitchen design in England. Key concepts like tradition, routine and habit are clarified and new conceptual distinctions are made, with the book defending theoretical approaches deriving from Simmel, Weber, Durkheim and Bourdieu. Ordinary Consumption promotes a distinctive approach to the understanding of the central practices of consumer society, it is a book with a controversial message, one which will be a source of debate about the appropriate agenda for future research.
Download or read book The Business of Words written by Crispin Thurlow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Business of Words examines the practices of ‘high-end’ language workers or wordsmiths where we find words being professionally designed, institutionally managed, and, inevitably, objectified for status and profit. Aligned with existing work on language and political economy in critical sociolinguistics and discourse studies, the volume offers a novel, complementary insight into the relatively elite practices of language workers such as advertisers, dialect coaches, publishers, judges, translators, public relations officers, fine artists, journalists, and linguists themselves. In fact, the book considers what academics might learn about language from other wordsmiths, opening a space for ‘dialogue’ between those researching language and those who also stake a claim to linguistic expertise and a way with words. Bringing together an array of leading international scholars from the cognate fields of discourse studies, sociolinguistics, and linguistic anthropology, this book is an essential resource for researchers, advanced undergraduate, and postgraduate students of English language, linguistics and applied linguistics, communication and media studies, and anthropology.
