This document examines evolving models for delivering dental care services to those in long-term care settings through 4 state case studies. It finds that while dental care access is limited for this vulnerable population, models are changing from traditional transport to dental offices to more comprehensive onsite care. Key factors like Medicaid coverage, regulations, and workforce scope of practice vary between states and significantly impact the availability and quality of dental care for those in long-term care. The study aims to advance understanding of current long-term care dental workforce models and how they are changing with shifting policies.
Filling the Gap: Running a large scale clinic
1) The Filling the Gap Clinic was launched by the College of Dentistry at the University of Saskatchewan in response to high oral health needs identified among recently arrived Syrian refugees.
2) Over a period of 9 days, the clinic provided over $15,000 worth of dental treatment to 112 refugee patients across 49 adult patients and 63 child patients. Common treatments included fillings, extractions, and oral hygiene instruction.
3) Lessons from the initial clinic included logistical challenges in dealing with insurance providers, a need for improved processes, and developing Arabic language oral health materials. Going forward, the College aims to formalize programs and referral pathways to provide ongoing comprehensive dental care to refugees.

This document discusses artificial teeth used in dentistry. It covers the main components of dentures, which are acrylic and porcelain teeth. Acrylic teeth are produced through dough molding or injection molding techniques using a highly cross-linked resin for strength and resistance to crazing or cracking. Porcelain teeth are manufactured according to required shapes and sizes using disposable molds with mechanical attachments like pins or holes. Porcelain teeth have aesthetic and hardness advantages over acrylic teeth but can fracture or chip more easily and are more difficult to adjust through grinding. Both materials must meet requirements for appearance, strength, and compatibility with denture bases and the oral cavity.

Anatomy of lymph node
Lymph nodes are oval, bean-shaped structures scattered throughout the body along lymph vessels that usually measure 1-25 mm in length. They are concentrated along respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, in mammary glands, axillae, and groin. Lymph nodes filter lymph fluid to trap pathogens, debris, and tumor cells. They have an outer capsule and inner parenchyma differentiated into a cortex and medulla. Lymph enters through afferent vessels and stagnates in sinuses, allowing immune cells time to respond before exiting through efferent vessels.
Local anesthesia techniques
This document provides an overview of local anesthesia techniques used in dentistry. It discusses the trigeminal nerve and its branches that provide sensation to the face and oral cavity.

Lymphatic system
The document describes the structure and function of the lymphatic system and immune system. The lymphatic system includes lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, thymus gland, tonsils and other lymphatic tissues that work to remove excess fluid from tissues, absorb fatty acids, and transport white blood cells. The immune system protects the body from infection with non-specific defenses like skin and mucous membranes, and specific defenses like antibodies and lymphocytes that recognize and destroy pathogens.
Neonatal resuscitation programme, NRP
This document provides an overview of newborn resuscitation by Dr. Lokanath Reddy from the Department of Paediatrics at Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, India. It covers the history and principles of newborn resuscitation, initial steps, positive pressure ventilation, intubation, medications, special considerations for preterm babies, and ethics. Causes of neonatal compromise are discussed. Guidelines for newborn resuscitation from various medical organizations over time are summarized.
Presentation the lymphatic system
The lymphatic system carries a clear fluid called lymph throughout the body via networks of thin tubes. The lymph transports infection-fighting lymphocytes, removes infectious cells, and carries fats from the intestine to the blood. Key organs involved include the bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus. Lymph nodes and the spleen filter the lymph and blood, respectively. Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system that causes painless bumps in lymph nodes and general symptoms like fevers and weight loss. Treatment depends on the grade of lymphoma and may include waiting, radiation, or chemotherapy. Life expectancy with lymphoma varies significantly depending on the treatment received and response. Lymphatic obstructions can be caused by

Human Genetics and Craniofacial Development
This document discusses the evolution of human genetic studies of craniofacial disorders such as orofacial clefts. It describes how studies have progressed from descriptive family studies and Mendelian genetics in the early 20th century to modern genome-wide association studies and genomic sequencing. Key developments include the ability to collect and analyze DNA from families to study linkage, perform candidate gene studies and genome-wide linkage analyses. The advent of widespread genomic sequencing in 2000 enabled unbiased genome-wide association studies to identify risk loci rather than genes. One example described used a GWAS to identify multiple gene loci associated with the age of emergence of primary teeth.
Supernumerary Teeth
Supernumerary teeth form in addition to the normal dental formula due to disturbances during tooth development. They can be classified as supplemental if they resemble adjacent teeth or rudimentary if they have abnormal shape/size. Theories for their formation include atavism, tooth germ dichotomy, hyperactivity of the dental lamina, and genetic/environmental factors. Mouse models have provided insights but are limited due to differences from human dentition. Molecular signaling pathways like WNT and BMP play roles in determining tooth number.
Sutures of the Skull
The document discusses sutures of the human skull. It identifies the primary cranial sutures, including the coronal, sagittal, lambdoid, and metopic sutures. It also discusses the midpalatal suture and presents a classification system with 5 stages of maturation based on CBCT imaging. The classification aims to assess midpalatal suture morphology for determining candidacy for rapid maxillary expansion. The sutures most commonly affected by craniosynostosis are also identified.
Facial Prominences
During the 4th week of development, 5 swellings (facial prominences) appear on the face including the frontonasal prominence, medial nasal processes, maxillary prominences and mandibular prominences. Over time, these facial prominences fuse and merge together to form the structures of the upper lip through a process involving the formation of an epithelial seam, mesenchymal bridge and proliferation of mesenchyme tissue. Animal models are used to study the genes and molecules controlling lip fusion given facial development is conserved in evolution.
Holoprosencephaly
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a birth defect where the brain fails to properly divide into left and right hemispheres. It occurs in 1 in 10,000-20,000 live births. HPE exists on a spectrum from mild to severe. In the most severe form, called alobar HPE, the brain is not divided at all and facial abnormalities like cyclopia may occur. Less severe forms include semilobar, lobar, and microform HPE. HPE results from genetic and environmental factors affecting normal forebrain development.
Cambra - A Clinical Review
This document discusses CAMBRA (Caries Management By Risk Assessment), a clinical review for managing dental caries risk in children. CAMBRA integrates caries risk assessment into comprehensive oral health visits for children from birth to age 5. It involves assessing risk factors, customizing preventive care plans, and determining recall schedules based on risk. The review describes the CAMBRA process, which includes examining protective and risk factors, clinical exams, fluoride varnish application, setting self-management goals, and developing individualized care paths. Barriers to caries risk assessment and recommendations to address them are also discussed.
Sex Differences in Pain
1. A female university student complained of recurrent facial pain to her dentist, who said there were no identifiable signs of disease and that the type of pain she experienced was common among women and "could be psychosomatic".
2. While some pain complaints in female patients are difficult to quantify, many recurrent pain disorders have higher prevalence among women of unknown origin.
3. Anatomical and hormonal differences often result in pains in women that are non-pathological, and several chronic pain conditions like temporomandibular disorders are more prevalent among women.
Obturation and the Importance of Coronal Seal
The coronal seal of an endodontically treated tooth is essential for the long-term success of the treatment. Microorganisms from the oral cavity can reinfect the root canal system through gaps in the temporary or permanent restoration. Several studies have shown that within a few weeks of leaving the access cavity open, bacteria from the saliva can travel down the entire length of the root canal. Placement of an adequate permanent restoration is critical to prevent reinfection of the root canal system and promote healing of the periapical tissues. The technical quality of the coronal restoration has a greater impact on apical periodontal health than the quality of the root canal filling.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
