Book excerpt: An NPR Best Book of 2017 "[Teeth is] . . . more than an exploration of a two-tiered system—it is a call for sweeping, radical change." —New York Times Book Review "Show me your teeth," the great naturalist Georges Cuvier is credited with saying, "and I will tell you who you are." In this shattering new work, veteran health journalist Mary Otto looks inside America's mouth, revealing unsettling truths about our unequal society. Teeth takes readers on a disturbing journey into America's silent epidemic of oral disease, exposing the hidden connections between tooth decay and stunted job prospects, low educational achievement, social mobility, and the troubling state of our public health. Otto's subjects include the pioneering dentist who made Shirley Temple and Judy Garland's teeth sparkle on the silver screen and helped create the all-American image of "pearly whites"; Deamonte Driver, the young Maryland boy whose tragic death from an abscessed tooth sparked congressional hearings; and a marketing guru who offers advice to dentists on how to push new and expensive treatments and how to keep Medicaid patients at bay. In one of its most disturbing findings, Teeth reveals that toothaches are not an occasional inconvenience, but rather a chronic reality for millions of people, including disproportionate numbers of the elderly and people of color. Many people, Otto reveals, resort to prayer to counteract the uniquely devastating effects of dental pain. Otto also goes back in time to understand the roots of our predicament in the history of dentistry, showing how it became separated from mainstream medicine, despite a century of growing evidence that oral health and general bodily health are closely related. Muckraking and paradigm-shifting, Teeth exposes for the first time the extent and meaning of our oral health crisis. It joins the small shelf of books that change the way we view society and ourselves—and will spark an urgent conversation about why our teeth matter.

Download or read book The Sinus Bone Graft written by Ole T. Jensen and published by Quintessence Publishing (IL). This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While an oral surgery resident in training at the University of Michigan in 1977, I observed a strange phenomenon in a maxillary fracture patient. A unilateral ossification of the maxillary antrum occurred following a Le Fort III fracture that had been treated the year before. I wondered how trauma around the antrum due to an impacted maxilla and the inferiorly displaced orbital rim could lead to an ossified maxillary sinus. The trauma was bilateral, yet only one side responded by ossification. Furthermore, there appeared to be no functional impairment of the sinus. This unusual finding remained a mystery to me for many years. It wasn't until 1980, when Phil Boyne published the first paper on the sinus augmentation graft, that the mystery began to be solved. He found that preservation of the elevated sinus membrane created a confined space in which bone had the potential to form. Dr Boyne went on to show, in a primate study, that bone would readily form in the sinus floor, but that the newly formed bone would completely resorb over a period of a year unless dental implants were placed to help maintain the bone. Many other workers began to experiment with various bone-grafting materials, both in animals and clinically. Remarkably, most of the materials demonstrated new bone formation in the graft sites. Because dental implants were generally used as the measure of bone graft success and since there were very few implant failures reported in the literature, confusion resulted as to which grafting material to use. It seemed they all worked. To sort this out, a few patients with 5 to 7 mm of available bone were treated with sinus elevation and Gore-Tex over the lateral osteotomy site only. Despite no graft material be used, bone formed. As long as the sinus membrane remained intact, bone formed beneath the sinus membrane that had been tented up by simultaneously placed implants. The need to use any graft material at all appeared to be brought into question. At the same time, practitioners lined up in two camps: those who placed implants in delayed fashion after graft maturation and those who preferred simultaneous implant placement. Both approaches published a high level of success seeming to substantiate their protocols, but once again the measure of success was hampered by the lack of any human evidence for efficacy. A 5-year implant retrieval study was undertaken using standard titanium mini-implants that had been placed simultaneously with grafting. Interestingly, bone did not form well around these implants in this setting despite positive reviews in animal studies. Could we conclude that the delayed approach was preferred, or was there another factor, such as the implant surface, that could be important? Hydroxyapatite-coated, titanium plasma-sprayed, and acid-etched titanium implant surfaces seemed to do well in the grafted bone. Could this be the answer for implants placed into sinus bone grafts? As these developments are progressing, new interest is generated in jump-starting the natural inductive processes of bone formation through pharmacokinetics. Early results of human studies now appear to be favorable for using bone morphogenetic protein as a graft alternative that stands to modify all of the protocols in use to date. How these various approaches work toward definitive answers to the basic biologic and clinical questions is what this book is all about. The authors attempt to answer the how, why, when, and where of sinus grafting. It is hoped that the state of the art of sinus grafting will be elucidate for the reader in the ongoing quest for scientific knowledge and its clinical appilcation that will ultimately lead to excellence in patient care.
