Man who suffered appalling abscess escapes jail after ‘tooth rage’ incident at dental hospital

Martin Pearson was given a community service order for a tooth rage incident at a dental hospital

A man suffering from a painful abscess went berserk in a ‘tooth rage’ incident at a dental hospital. Martin Pearson, 38, swore and waved a chair above his head after dentists refused to give him emergency treatment, a court heard. He was thrown out of the hospital by security staff and was later arrested by police and charged with affray. Pearson, who is unemployed, admitted the charge at Manchester Crown Court and was given a community service order with supervision for 12 months.

The ACE Scottsdale Meeting is approaching!

As many of you know, I used to have a reputation for going to EVERY CE event on the schedule.  I think that I had three years in a row where I attended between 300 and 500 hours per year.  That was just a little bit excessive, so I’m much more selective about what I attend these days.

Every major health organization in the world disagrees on the stance that mercury in amalgam causes any disease or disorder in the human body

First let me state for the record that the reason the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology was founded was to bring published peer reviewed scientific evidence into the debate regarding the safety of materials used in dentistry. To that end we’ve help design and funded a large body of research intended to fill the substantial gaps in our knowledge of the biological impact of dental treatments. I can furnish a list of the 25 or more studies we’ve funded over the many years and the results were all published in  scientific journals. Among other things they show substantial mercury exposure, intake and increased body burden from in situ mercury/silver tooth filling implants.

kids and dentists in the US

A little more than 11 years ago, I had a newborn baby girl and didn’t work in the dental industry. However, I knew one day soon she would have teeth and we’d need to take care of those chompers, even if they were just “baby teeth.” A new study out today by Delta Dental Plans shows most American children don’t see their family dentist until they are well over 2 years old, far later than is recommended by both dental and medical professionals.

Advantages of all-ceramic materials over the traditional metal-ceramics include their tooth-resembling color and the enamel-like translucency

The high-strength ceramic zirconia has the potential to be applied as an alternative material to metal for the fabrication of frameworks for FDPs. Several clinical studies showed promising results of FDPs with zirconia frameworks after observation periods of 3 to 5 years. In these investigations low fracture rates of zirconia frameworks, ranging from 0% to 2.2%, were reported.
