A New Vaccine Against Dental Caries
A recent report published by the journal Nature Medicine, a group of British scientists has developed a vaccine against dental caries from genetically modified plants snuff. The results obtained in a patient at four months were very encouraging and this has been assumed that the treatment could be available to the public within a few years.
Tooth decay is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus mutans, which produces an acid that coats the teeth and feeds on sugar and other carbohydrates. It affects half of children aged five years and three quarters of adolescents of 17 years. To eradicate this problem, simply cover the teeth with the liquid vaccine has been developed. A few applications provide protection against cavities for at least four months. The active components are antibodies that attach to tooth decay bacteria, preventing them from remaining on the teeth. While these harmful microbes are disappearing, others harmless teeth are installed in preventing the possible presence of other cells of S. mutans.

A Laser “Shields” Against Tooth Decay
Proponents of this new tool underline that 60 and 90% of schoolchildren worldwide dental caries and it is very unlikely to find someone who has not suffered a cavity along his life. In fact, the World Health Organization categorizes decay as most common oral disease with periodontal disease and the most extensive in the world.
The problem is that between 5 and 8% of the surface of dental enamel has a natural porosity that can penetrate the lactic acid bacterial plaque and decay, causing tooth decay.
But from now on, they said, the dreaded visit to the dentist for filling a tooth can be avoided, according to results of scientific research conducted over three years in the past decade and taken up at present, by the Valencian company Stoma Laser Technology on human teeth in vitro.
Recaldent Gum with Teeth Remineralisation Help
Under the XVIIIth International Dental Congress held from 12 to May 16 in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Dr Enrique Jadad Bechara, dentist and specialist in Oral Rehabilitation at the Pontifical Javeriana University, the conference offered “scientific evidence Recaldent ® , the role of chewing gums in dental remineralization process. ”
Author, co-author and collaborator on several articles published in international journals, Dr. Jadad exposed the systematic review of 31 studies that assessed the impact of Recaldent ® in the remineralization (restoring mineral content in the teeth to promote repair of incipient caries of the teeth), demineralization (loss of tooth mineral in the formation of early decay thereof) and dental caries, noting that “specifically, products that contain Recaldent ® increase remineralization, decrease demineralization and reduce the incidence of early carious lesions.

Because the layer covering the tooth root cementum not as strong as email at the crown, then a hole in the tooth root process is faster than any other tooth surfaces.
To find out how big the grievances, the dentist will perform dental x-rays to show the depth of caries. If already known, then the dentist can determine the diagnosis and treatment plan.
