Discovery of epigenetic links in cell-fate decisions of adult stem cells paves way for new osteoporosis treatments
The ability to control whether certain stem cells ultimately become bone cells holds great promise for regenerative medicine and potential therapies aimed at treating metabolic bone diseases, especially osteoporosis. Now, scientists have made a significant breakthrough in that direction. The scientists have discovered two key epigenetic regulating genes that govern the cell-fate determination of human bone marrow stem cells.

Bacteria on marine sponges can develop capacity to move and inhibit biofilm formation
A new study shows that when enough bacteria get together in one place, they can make a collective decision to grow an appendage and swim away. This type of behavior has been seen for the first time in marine sponges, and could lead to an understanding of how to break up harmful bacterial biofilms, such as plaque on teeth or those found on internal medical devices like artificial heart valves.

Natural Search Engine Optimization Costs Less for Dentists
What is natural search engine optimization? In the biz, we segment SEO into two categories, organic (or natural seo) and paid (or PPC). The best metaphor for this is, natural SEO is like buying a home. Pay per click SEO is like renting a home.
Natural SEO: Investing in Your Future
The core of organic SEO lies in how a site is built and the content placed on it. Ideally, your web company will design a custom dental website that appeals to search engine spiders, such as those belonging to Google. Factors like clean code, original text, internal links on keyword phrases, use of jQuery or HTML5 instead of Flash, metadata, and alternate image text contribute to an SEO-friendly website. Built with these elements, when a site map is submitted to Google, the website should do well on search. Of course, website upgrades, like home upgrades, increase value. As you add pages of original text, your website will become more and more valuable, meaning it will rank higher and for more keyword phrases on Google.
How does organic SEO work? When you submit a sitemap to Google, or when Google’s spiders happen upon your website, the spiders inject your code into Google’s algorithm. This long and secret algorithm tells Google how your website should come up in search engine results pages (SERPs). The factors mentioned above, from clean code to original content, appeal to search engine spiders and will influence higher Google SERPs rankings. When your site’s pages come up in Google SERPs, a user simply clicks your site’s URL and description, and he is redirected to your webpage. With a natural SEO strategy, you do not pay Google every time your indexed pages are clicked on by end users. On the contrary, your investment is in the building of your website. Use bricks and mortar instead of sand and twigs, and your site will thrive on Google SERPs long term.
PPC SEO: Investing in the Moment
PPC, or pay per click, describes an advertising opportunity. The most popular PPC is owned by Google and is called Google Adwords. You should know that you do not have to pay for Google Adwords to show up on page one of Google; you simply need a strategically, organically optimized website. However, if you want to pay to be on page one of Google because your website does not rank well, you can sign up for an Adwords campaign. You’ll select keyword phrases that you think potential dental patients might search for, and each of those phrases will be associated with a monetary figure. Then, you’ll pre-fund an account with Google Adwords. Every time your advertisement comes up on Google and someone clicks on it, your account will be debited the agreed upon monetary amount. When you run out of funds, Google will let you know.
What happens when you stop paying rent on a rental property? You are kicked out. The same is true of PPC with Google Adwords. When you stop funding your account, your ads no longer show up on SERPs. While this is a fair and reasonable arrangement, you will be left with nothing. If you had invested in natural SEO, your site may still be ranking high on Google SERPs, even during times when you don’t invest in additional content.
So, the short story is: natural SEO holds more long-term value than PPC SEO.

Six Beagles dogs were used in this study. Five implants with two different surfaces, three with a ZirTi® surface (zirconia sand blasted, acid etched), and two with a ZirTi®-modified surface with dendrimers of phosphoserine and polylysine were installed in the right side of the mandible. In the most anterior region (P2, P3), two recipient sites were prepared with drills, and one implant ZirTi® surface and one coated with dendrimers implants were installed at random. In the posterior region (P4 and M1), three recipient sites were randomly prepared: two sites with a Piezosurgery® instrument and one site with drill and two ZirTi® surface and one coated with dendrimers implants installed. Three months after the surgery, the animals were sacrificed for histological analysis.

Double Tooth Photos
Since starting Oral Answers, many people frequently email me photos that would be useful to share with everyone here on Oral Answers to illustrate a particular dental condition. Since many parents end up coming to Oral Answers via the page on double teeth, I thought it would be appropriate to start a collection of double tooth photos.
This double tooth photo collection will start out with the three photos below. If your child has a double tooth (either gemination or fusion), a photo of your child would benefit other parents who come to this site searching for photos and information.
To get your photo below, simply use this contact form or simply send them to OralAnswers [at] gmail [dot] com, replacing the bracketed words with the normal email symbols.
Double Tooth Photos
This first photo is the one I featured on the original post that discusses double teeth. It is Rachel's son, who has gemination:
The following two photos are from Tiffany. At first glance, her son appears to have a gemination tooth on the opposite side as Rachel's son in the photo above:
Here's a close-up of the tooth pictured above:
Here's an updated photo of Tiffany's son now that he's two years old:
Submit Your Photos
I would love it if you would submit your photos of a double tooth to help parents gain a better knowledge of what double teeth can look like. Please use this contact form or simply send them to OralAnswers [at] gmail [dot] com, replacing the bracketed words with the normal email symbols.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below. Thanks for reading!

Maintaining Oral Hygiene In Emergencies
With hurricane season among us, it is a good time to review some “need to knows” about brushing with compromised resources. Here are suggestions for keeping your mouth healthy when in an emergency situation.
If you have access to a toothbrush and are without water, you can still use it to brush the particles off the teeth. Dry brushing stimulates the salivary glands and will provide some natural digestion for the particles as well.
If you have no toothbrush handy, you can use your clean finger with some toothpaste. Remember to spit it out!
Even in a worse-case-scenario, if all you have is a fluoride mouthwash, use it. It may not remove plaque like brushing does, but it will help kill germs and prevent new plaque from forming.
In an emergency situation, it’s easy to grab sugary comfort foods. Instead of empty calorie candy bars that might contribute to tooth decay, try a granola bar instead. The crunchy granola will provide some friction for plaque removal, and some even have good nutritional value!
Shelters and hotels usually provide dental care items for free. Don’t be afraid to ask for them.
Have a safe and healthy hurricane season

Dental Suction: Why Dentists Use a Suction
A reader named Jeanny recently emailed me the following questions:
Why is it necessary to suction after local anesthetic?
Why is it necessary to suction when doing a filling?
Can blood be involved in both of the above procedures?
I'll answer the first two questions later on in this article. In response to the last question, blood can be involved when giving anesthetic and doing fillings, but many times it is not.
First, let's talk about the two main types of suctions that dentists routinely use.
The Two Main Types of Dental Suctions
There are two main types of dental suctions that dentists use: the saliva ejector and the high volume suction.
The saliva ejector does exactly what its name implies; it sucks saliva out of the mouth. This is the suction pictured at the upper right of this article. Many times dentists will have the patient close down on this suction so that it can suction away any remaining saliva in the patient's mouth.
The other main type of dental suction that we use is the high volume suction. This suction is so strong that the dental assistant simply holds it close to where the dentist is working and it will suck away any nearby debris, much like a strong vacuum cleaner can suck away crumbs without actually touching them.
You can see the high volume dental suction pictured below - try to pardon the lack of glove use by that dentist!
Why Dentists Use a Dental Suction
Now that the introductions are over, let's talk about some of the different reasons why dentists will use a suction.
For Patient Comfort
Keeping the patient comfortable is a high priority. In response to Jeanny's question, we suction after giving anesthetic because the anesthetic has a bitter taste, and most patients prefer to rinse out with water and use the saliva ejector. Also, if the anesthetic sits in the back of your mouth for too long, it may start to slightly numb the back of your mouth and could give the patient a gagging sensation.
We will also use the suction to make sure that you don't get too much water in your mouth while we are working.
To Clean Away Any Excess Dental Materials
When a dental hygienist cleans and polishes your teeth, you can get a lot of cleaning paste in your mouth. We use the suction to help clean all of that away. Also, when dentists are do amalgam fillings, pieces of the soft amalgam can sometimes fall away from the tooth surface. We use the suction to help whisk them away.
To Keep The Tooth Dry
During some procedures, such as white fillings, it is important that the tooth stay clean and dry. The suction helps keep the tooth dry by sucking away any saliva, blood, and water that may have accumulated around the tooth. If the cavity went below the gum-line, then it's pretty likely that the gums will bleed during the filling.
To Help the Dentist See
As I mentioned in a previous article about the dental drill, the drill that dentists use to do fillings sprays out a lot of water to keep the tooth cool and clean. Unfortunately, that water can quickly build up in the mouth and get on the dental mirror. In order to ensure that the dentist can see the tooth while working on it, it's necessary to use the high volume suction to suck away all of that debris.
Those are the four main reasons that I came up with as to why dentists use the dental suction. In conclusion, let's take a look at a question that I asked my dental hygienist as a child.
Where Does The Stuff Go After It's Sucked Away?
I remember sitting in the dental chair in Dr. Arnold's office as a child wondering what happens to all of the stuff that gets sucked down the suction. Maybe I was hoping that the tooth fairy would somehow be able to save the bad part of my baby tooth that the dentist removed and put it back together once my tooth fell out. After gathering up the courage to ask, I think I was slightly disappointed by the answer.
After your saliva, tooth debris, etc. gets sucked away, it travels through the suction line to a vacuum separator that will separate out any solids. After that, your spit makes a journey down the pipes and into the sewer system.
It is now recommended that dentists install amalgam separators in their suction lines to separate out any dental amalgam and keep it from getting into the public sewer systems.
