Current Issue

January 2009 

The January issue of the Journal of the California Dental Association covers microscopic pulp exposures in deep class II cavities; a study of anaerobic bacteria in natural human saliva and contaminated root-filled teeth; the effects on dental implants by patients taking oral bisphosphonates; and uncontrollable distant effects of botulinum neurotoxin injections.

• Undetected Microscopic Pulp Exposures in Human Deep Class II Cavities
  This study investigated the probability of clinically undiagnosed pulp microexposures in human deep class II preparations.
  Majid Mousavinasab, DMD, MSD; M. Sadegh Namazikhah, DMD, MSED, FICD, FACD; Jalil Modaresi, DDS, MSc; and Ahmad Behzadi, DDS

• Microleakage of Human Saliva in Coronally Unsealed Obturated Root Canals in Anaerobic Conditions: An Ex Vivo Study
  The purpose of this study was to determine the time required for anaerobic bacteria in natural human saliva to contaminate root-filled teeth.
  K. Ashofteh Yazdi, DDS; S. Bayat-Movahed; M. Aligholi; S.J. Hayes, BDS; M.H. Nekoofar

• The Prognosis for Dental Implants Placed in Patients Taking Oral Bisphosphonates
  The authors evaluated the outcome of patients who had osseointegrated implants inserted while taking oral bisphosphonates by means of a retrospective chart review.
  Tadakatsu Kasai, DDS, PhD; M. Anthony Pogrel, DDS, MD; and Mehran Hossaini, DMD

• Uncontrollable Distant Effects of Botulinum Neurotoxin Injections
  The scientific literature has documented that there are dangerous uncontrollable effects of long-distance traveling of BoNT from the injection site. These uncontrollable distant effects of “off-label” botulinum neurotoxin injections, at the very least, must be thoroughly disclosed to patients.
  Joseph Schames, DMD; Y. Dov Prero, BA, MEd; David Schames, BA; Mayer Schames, DDS; William Gabriel, DDS; and Robert Reed, DDS
