June 19, 2024 - Interleukin Genetics, Inc. (OTCQB: ILIU) have announced the online publication of the research study "Patient Stratification for Preventive Dental Care" in Journal of Dental Research. ALBANY, Ore., USA: In collaboration with CariFree, a caries research company, a New York-based dentist has developed a screening device called CariScreen that allows dental practitioners to measure levels of cavity-causing bacteria in patients' mouths. SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., USA: Although previous medical research has shown that periodontal disease can affect major organs such as the heart, only a few studies have examined the link between gum infection and kidney disease. Dental treatment—or a lack of it—has become a problem for pregnant women. A few years ago, an extremely sick, 2½-year-old boy came to the Houston office of pediatrician Ray Wagner, MD, with a 105-degree temperature. Bridge2Aid, a well-known dental charity organization, announced that it will send a dental team to Rwanda. The team will help in training local dentists in the African country aiming to improve oral health conditions of the public. Bridge2Aid’s team will go to Rwanda next year. According to a new study, the majority of the population in Germany changes their toothbrushes once every 5 to 6 months, which is not enough to avoid gingival disease. The study suggests that using the same toothbrush for more than 6 months can result in conditions such as gingivitis. According to a new study out of Australia, women at the age of 40 and older fear dental visits. The study was conducted by a team from Sydney University. According to a recent survey, less than 50% of adults are following an acceptable oral hygiene routine. Data from the Adult Dental Health Survey in the UK indicates that well known dental care products, such as mouthwash and floss, are not usually used in general oral care routines. Instead, only 31% of people use mouthwash and a lesser percentage, 22%, use floss. The survey also indicated that 42% of adults are just using a toothbrush and toothpaste for their dental care, and nearly 27% use electric brushes. In addition, about 24% of people do not use toothpastes with high levels of fluoride. |
