Kids Discover Better Oral Health after One Year of Preventive Therapy

  

"Kids' Healthy Mouths Campaign" Update: More Parents Report Healthy Tooth Brushing Habits After First Year!

I am delighted to share a first look at our new PSAs for the Kids' Healthy Mouths campaign that we developed with the Ad Council and the Partnership for Healthy Mouths, Healthy Lives. The campaign, which first launched in August 2012, is a groundbreaking multimedia effort that aims to educate parents and caregivers about the importance of a healthy mouth and motivate them to modify their children's behaviors through simple, low-cost, preventive strategies. We're primarily aiming to reach parents and caregivers of children 0-12 years of age, with an emphasis on low income and minority parents and caregivers.

As you will see, the humorous PSAs aim to show parents that spending just two minutes, twice a day making sure their children brush could help save them from a lifetime of tooth pain. The PSAs feature parents trying–and struggling–to squeeze parenting lessons into such a short time frame. These scenes suggest that while most parenting is hard, making sure your kids brush for two minutes, twice a day is one aspect that's easier. Parents are directed towww.2min2x.org where they can find fun two minute videos that kids can watch while brushing as well as additional information on oral health. Campaign PSAs cover a variety of media outlets, including TV, radio, print, Web and social media.

Dental decay is the most common chronic disease of childhood and the mouth is the gateway to a person's overall health. Together, we can all work to help consumers live healthier lives.

Below is a link to the press release, which will give you more information and a preview of the PSAs.

Ferrule and it's importance

Ferrule: Why is it important, and how much do we need?
By Dr Aman Singh, Odontos Dental Hospital always

On many occasions, patients present to our offices with teeth lacking sufficient coronal tooth structure. Whether the loss of structure is due to caries or trauma, the remaining structure must have certain dimensions to aid in the resistance form of our crown preparations. This is imperative to prevent the complication of tooth/root fracture.
The term “ferrule effect” is one many dentists take into account while examining a tooth for restorability. This term is mentioned in Shillingburg’s classic prosthodontic textbook, “Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics” ...
When all tooth structure has been lost to the level of the alveolar crest or beyond, because of either fracture or caries, the tooth cannot be satisfactorily restored without some extraordinary measure. Even if a dowel core is placed in the tooth, the root will remain susceptible to fracture without the crown encircling the tooth apical to the core. This ferrule effect around the tooth protects it from fracture by the dowel from within.”
Another way to incorporate remaining tooth structure is when evaluating a tooth for crown lengthening. The classic text for periodontics, “Carranza’s Clinical Periodontology,” mentions ferrule effect and its dimensions ...
If a tooth fracture extends to the level of the bone, it must be erupted 4 mm. The first 2.5 mm moves the fracture margin far enough away from the bone to prevent a biologic width problem. The other 1.5 mm provides the proper amount of ferrule for adequate resistance form of the crown preparation.
As defined by “The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms” ...
fer_rule \fe˘ r#al\ n (15c) l: a metal band or ring used to fit the root or crown of a tooth. One way to visualize this effect is when observing a wine barrel. The metal bands or hoops, which encompass the wooden barrel, give support when the barrel is full.
The dimension needed to allow this encircling metal has been reported in the literature numerous times. One classic study by Sorensen not only summarizes the purpose of a dowel, but also concludes a critical dimension in order to create this effect: One millimeter of coronal dentin above the shoulder significantly increased the failure threshold. Once again, an increase in resistance form caused by the metal collar and the parallel dentin axial walls.
This critical dimension is mentioned in various dimensions, but is best summarized by Morgano ...
Current knowledge has confirmed that the dentist should retain as much coronal tooth structure as possible when preparing pulpless teeth for complete crowns to maximize the ferrule effect. A minimal height of 1.5 mm to 2 mm of intact tooth structure above the crown margin for 360 degrees around the circumference of the tooth preparation appears to be a rational guideline for this ferrule effect. Surgical crown lengthening or orthodontic extrusion should be considered with severely damaged teeth to expose additional tooth structure to establish a ferrule.

So, when evaluating the remaining tooth structure, this summary should help restorative dentists remember critical dimensions and reasons for why we look to create the ferrule effect in our tooth preparations. This summary should hopefully also help with surgical procedures to help guide in dimensions for crown lengthening.
