According to researchers in georgia, USA, presence of certain proteins in premalignant lesions can predict
the development of mouth cancer.
Tripeptide proteins with RGC, also known as SIBLINGS are five glycoproteins,essential in bone remodelling,however they can spread cancer.These type of proteins have been detected in breast, lung, colon cancers.
Research has shown that three SIBLIGS, osteopontin, the bone sialoprotein and the dentin sialofosfoproteina are present in high levels in the cancer of the mouth.Having these indicators we are hoping to be able to detect lesions that can become malignant and treat early thus saving around 300 lives in Quebec and 3000, in USA.

In the search for the reason of some peoples ability to put on the pounds faster than the others scientists have been looking into bacteria and their role in obesity.Many experiments on mice have shown that bacterial flora in the intestine of obese people have a certain ability of converting/depositing more of the calories,leading to an increase in weight.

recently though a group out of Boston university conducted a research on 313 women with a body mass index of 27 to 32(overweight second degree=obese). On analysing their saliva they found that the level of various bacteria were different among healthy and obese women, in particular Selenomonas noxia. This bacteria is one of the causes of periodontitis, and is found in considerable levels in women who have recently given birth to premature and underweight children.

Premature birth is a major cause of newborn death, placing the baby at significant risk of developping serious health problems.
Gum disease is caused by bacteria adhering to the teeth in a film called plaque. These bacteria produce produce toxins that irritate the gums. Research shows that the bacteria in the mouth can get into the bloodstream and target the fetus causing preterm birth.As such gum disease can be as dangerous to pregnancy as smoking or alcohol abuse.
pregnant diabetics face a greater risk from gum disease than non-diabetic pregnant women.
for women who are planning a child a review of their periodontal health and teeth is recomended.

Porcelain veneers are wafer thin shells that are bonded to the front of teeth in order to create a better ,whiter smile in a short space of time. Porcelain is a brittle substance on its own, but once bonded to the tooth it becomes quite strong.The advantages of porcelain compared to traditional bonding are the apearance is much more natural(teeth like) and that they last longer.you can check some of the work in the smile gallery.
hoping that you are having a nice day

It is estimated that 50% of males and 30% of females snore. For a certain portion of this groupe chronic, heavy,loud snoring can be more serious. Snoring normally occurs when a person`s airway at the back of the throat constricts, resulting in vibration of the soft tissue in the back of the mouth creating the snoring noise. Heavy snoring often is a symptome of sleep apnea which could be a life threatening condition which is frequently associated with hypertension ,stroke, and cardiopulmonary problems.
Sleep apnea is a cessation of breathing during sleep.Each time the breathing has stopped , oxygen will be blocked from the lungs,and its levels in the blood drop causing an increase in blood pressure and irregular heart beat.
If you are a heavy snorer or are constantly tired when you wake upin the morning, please visit our site and take the test for sleep apnea on the first page of the site, and if anything come to see us There are appliances which we can make to help with snoring and we can refere you to a sleep clinic

Biophosphonates are a class of medication used to combat metastesic bone cancer and osteoporosis. They reduce bone loss by affecting the cellular activities of osteoclasts which are part of machinary that replaces bone structure. Scientists also think that these medications could reduce the vascular activities of bone,which in turn leads to fragile bone which can easily be hurt or lost. In medical terms these medications used for long periods could be responsible for osteomylitis or osteonecrosis caused by mal fitting dentures, mastication, or extractons at the dental office.
To avoid complications please make sure your dentist knows about you taking these meds.

Gum disease also known as periodontal disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss among adults and is also frequently linked to the control of diabetes.Studies show that people with insufficient blood suger control seem to develop gum disease more frequently and more severly then people who have good management over their diabetes.Diabetes slows circulation, which can also make gum tissue more suseptable to infections.Diabetes reduces the body’s resistance to infection, which inturn increases the severity of gum disease.
Propre hygiene and control for diabetic patients can help to control this devestating disease.

Have you ever woundered why your dentist asks you to open up and say ahh… at the end of the cleaning, or why does he grab your tongue and looks it over? well here is the unpleasent truth:he or she is looking for signs of abnormal(dysplasiqe) tissue.
Canada ,In 2007 ,3200 people were diagnosed with oral cancer, and 1100 passed away.To put these in perspective ,currently in canada, more cases of oral cancer are diagnosed than cervical and ovarian cancers, and more deaths occur from oral cancer than from melanoma(skin cancer) or cervical cancer.
Oral cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, and the overal survival rate 5 years after diagnosis is about 62% for all sites combined.The risk factors for oral cancer are tobacco use and alcohol, age, spices(when used abundantly), immunologically compromised patients(bone marrow transplant patients), and a more recently added catagory, those patients infected with human papiloma virus types 16, and 18 in particular.
Staying away from cigarettes and tobacco certainly helps. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly fruit, reduces the risk of oral cancer and premalignant lesions, and seeing your dentist for your regular visits can also help detect any abnormality early .We at msmiline have also bought a new machine which helps the diagnostics.you can see this piece of technology on our site.
