Dentistry without drills
No full textThis is part of the Vodcast series produced by Prof. Susan Rodrigues (Liverpool Hope University). The Project is funded by the Primary Science Teaching Trust. Award winning clinical researchers, Dr. Dafydd Evans, (Senior Clinical Lecturer in Paediatric Dentistry) and Dr. Nicola Innes, (Senior Clinical Lecturer in Paediatric Dentistry) at Dundee’s School of Dentistry are promoting techniques to tackle a common childhood disease: tooth decay. In this short video they describe a “drill and fill” technique and an alternative strategy, the Hall Technique, where decay is sealed into the tooth using a preformed metal cap that is cemented onto the tooth to give a tight fit and a good seal

Selective Removal of Carious Tissue
No full textDescribing and quantifying how much carious tissue should be removed prior to placing a restoration has been a long-debated issue stretching back as far as G.V. Black's "complete caries removal," now known as non-selective carious tissue removal. Originating in the 1960s and 1970s, from the differentiation between different layers of carious dentine, an outer contaminated ("infected") layer and an inner demineralised ("affected") layer, the former of which needed to be removed during cavity preparation and the latter not, selective carious tissue removal was born. Currently, it is termed selective removal to firm dentine. This chapter describes different selective carious tissue removal techniques (to firm, to leathery, to soft dentine) and how they can be achieved appropriately with conventional and novel techniques. Selective removal to firm dentine is recommended for shallow or moderately deep lesions, while for deep lesions (extending close to the pulp) in teeth with vital pulps, selective removal to soft dentine is recommended to avoid pulpal exposure and to preserve the health of the pulp. Leaving soft carious dentine beneath a restoration does, however, raise certain issues regarding how we truly assess pulpal health, what would other dental practitioners think if the patient moved practice, and how do we monitor such sealed residual caries in the future. These issues will all be discussed in this chapter but should at present not preclude dental practitioners from adopting such a minimally invasive evidence-based approach to carious tissue removal.</p
Removing or Controlling?:How Caries Management Impacts on the Lifetime of Teeth
No full textHistorically, traditional carious lesion management focused on the importance of removal of all carious tissue, with little thought to the lesion origins. The surgical removal of any sign of a carious lesion was prioritised with little, or no, consideration to pulp vitality, loss of tooth structure, or caries disease management. This symptomatic approach concentrating on lesions rather than on the cause of the disease, focused on preventing secondary carious lesion development. Early detection and improved understanding of the caries process - that lesion progress can be arrested or slowed - has led to preventive measures and less destructive management as a focus. The choice of lesion management depends on: whether a primary or permanent tooth is involved; which tooth surface(s) is/are involved; whether the lesion is confined to enamel or extends into dentine; the lesion depth, and lesion cleansability. Use of preventive and minimally invasive operative strategies is complicated by the lack of predictable ways of recording lesions' status to allow early detection of failed strategies and early intervention. Because re-restoration usually makes the cavity larger and, consequently, the tooth weaker, the clinician should be certain about initiating the repeat restoration cycle, delaying the first restoration as much as possible. The 3 main principles that support preventing or slowing the repeat restoration cycle are: (1) avoid restoration placement until there is no other option; (2) place them for maximum longevity; (3) if re-restoration is necessary, repair or refurbishment is preferable to replacement of a defective restoration.</p

The Role of Coordination and Cooperation for Bt-maize cultivation in Brandenburg, Germany
Full text linkSince 2006, several varieties of transgenic Bt-maize are approved for commercial cultivation in Germany. The German regulatory framework for growing these crops comprises ex-ante regulations as well as ex-post liability rules to protect conventional and organic farming from possible negative side effects of transgenic plants and to ensure co-existence. Public regulation is also suspected to impose additional costs to those farmers who intend to plant Bt-maize. We address the question how Bt-maize growing farmers perceive the additional costs of regulation and whether coordination or cooperation takes place in order to diminish these costs. In 2006, we carried out a case study in the Oderbruch region (Brandenburg, Germany) comprising eight Bt-maize growing farmers and six adjacent neighbours. The predominantly large farms chose intrafarm coordination to manage the construction of buffer zones within their own fields and to avoid the planting of Bt-maize close to their neighbours. Inter-farm coordination or cooperation with adjacent farmers was not regarded necessary to achieve co-existence.Coordination, Cooperation, Bt-maize, Crop Production/Industries,
