Of additional interest is another study that observed that studied over 200 pediatric patients with coeliac disease. Since coeliac disease "is characterized by oral manifestations, such as dental enamel defects and recurrent oral aphthae" (Bucci, Carile, Sangianantoni, D'Angio, Santarelli, Lo Muzio, 2006, p
This study will observe pediatric dentistry in a local hospital and seeks to determine the incidence of dental disease in young hospital patients. For instance, one recent study determined that "although the oral health of the children with either a congenital or an acquired heart disease was the same as that of the healthy children, there were significant differences in the decayed, missed, and filled teeth indices" (Cantekin, Cantekin, Torun, 2013, p
706). Another study sought to determine the context in which children and adolescents were referred to special care or pediatric dental services in the "medical, functional, social and environmental context" (Faulks, Norderyd, Molina, Macgiolla, Scagnet, Eschevins, Hennequin, 2013, p
Another recent study in Saudi Arabia determined that dentistry may be coming more complex with the advent of various treatments that are now available. The study determined that some dentists are now becoming quite familiar with Botox (BTX) and that "in dentistry they are mostly used for marionette lines, corners of the mouth, lip augmentation, deeper folds of cheeks and chins, flattened or deficient philtrums, sagging corners of the mouth, nasolabial lines, perioral lip lines, perioral wrinkles and enhancement of prosthetic dental treatment" (Al Hamdan, Algheryafi, Al-Ghareeb, Ashri, 2013, p
Pain diagnosis and discomfort levels often accompany the delicate procedures that dentists are required to undertake. A recent study determined that "fear, dread, and apprehension of the dental encounter was nearly universal and dentists feverishly searched for and seized upon whatever might assist them in relieving the populace of this foreboding condition that left patients terrified and dentists exhausted and demoralized" (Andrick, 2013, p
After all, one recent actually espouses that dentist students are much different than medical students. The study found that "they may be very different, with medical students motivated by altruism and intellectual challenge, while dental students were more committed to personal and financial gain" (Dancer, Taylor, 2007, p
Those results may not be entirely focused on the pain and suffering that takes place whilst the patient is undergoing treatment, but also on the end results. A study out of Turkey shows that "in dentistry, different methods are being used to test adhesion of resin-based materials to various biological and artificial substrates that require individual conditioning protocols" (Ozcan, Dundar, Comlekoglu, 2012, p
Ergonomics, as a result, is the fitting of the work to the employee by designing the work and generating work surroundings to assist in preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders. OSHA has gone on to say that in 1996 more than six hundred thousand American employees underwent work-related serious harms due to overexertion or recurring movement, ensuing in thirty four percent of the lost work days being due to harms and costing an estimated fifteen billion to twenty billion in direct costs and forty five billion to sixty billion in roundabout costs in 1995 (Mito and Fernandez, 2002)
Yet, there appears to be precise apparatus, postural, and location variables that clinicians can regulate in order to reduce their dangers. The association of augmented musculoskeletal indications with use of the definite positions around the patient chair may be connected to the results of the torso-twisting and elbow-raising compromises acknowledged in the same posture and positioning (Rucker and Sunell, 2002)

Even though there is a lack of consistent medical information and a clear understanding of the temperament of MSD's, and considerable troubles in diagnosis which produce an ongoing debate regarding a lot of features of these conditions, a mixture of risk factors are acknowledged and precautionary measures are accessible. As safety and health at work is a pragmatic target and avoidance is obviously the best advance, the preventive attitude deserves meticulous consideration (Yamalik, 2006)

The BMI-for-age in the children was "significantly higher than the 50th percentile" of children in their age group ("Kids with Cavities Overweight, Not Underweight," Science Daily, 2005). Exposure to second-hand smoke also increases cavity risk, according to the University of Rochester, and this relationship between cavities and second-hand smoking persists even after researchers controlled for "many variables, including age, sex, race, region, dentist's visits, nutritional status and blood lead levels" (Anderson, 2001)
But new forms of implants and bonding materials are no replacement for research that aids in the early detection of children who are at-risk for developing cavities in the future. "The pronounced decline in the prevalence, incidence, and patterns of caries in children during the 1970s and '80s" reduced research in this area until recently (Stookey, 2004)
Before, multiple visits used to be required for such restorative procedures. "Recent advances in CAD-CAM/CAD-CIM technology and adhesive bonding agents provide the distinct advantage of enabling restoration of an endodontically treated posterior tooth during a single patient visit"(Foerster 1)
Unfortunately for these patients, one of the most common places for cavities to form is in small pits in the teeth. A sealant is "an organic polymer (resin) that flows into the pit or fissure, and bonds to the enamel surface," and seals off the pit (Neuenfeldt 2005:1)
Some dental providers advise sealants as an excellent precaution for all individuals. "Children should receive sealants on permanent molars as soon as they erupt (about ages 6 and 12 years)" although they cannot be used on teeth with smooth surfaces (Saunders 2005)
According to the article, "along with providing preventative care and treatment, dentists help educate patients on how to manage their oral health." (Kokemuller 1) This means that as a practicing dentist, you must not only possess the communication skills and bedside manner to provide this kind of education, but it also means that you have a clear responsibility to your patients to remain abreast of all current knowledge and emergent research in the field
Recommended courses include biochemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and general biology." (Santiago 1) For the critical success factors shaping one's dental career, there are certain steps one can take to improve career development
finds, "a consistent theme in the national dialogue about future directions for the educational arm of dentistry is how best to cultivate a school environment that will be seen as attractive by members of the dental community who desire to serve their profession as teachers and scholars."
