The purpose of the study presented here was to compare the influence of root canal taper on the efficacy of irrigants and chelating agents in smear layer removal. Eighty mesial roots of molar teeth were selected and prepared with rotary instruments. In group A, file 30/0.02 and in group B, file 30/0.4 were placed at working length and the smear layer was removed. In groups C and D, root canal preparation was the same as in groups A and B, respectively, except that the smear layer was not removed. The amount of the smear layer was quantified using a scanning electron microscope. Greater smear layer was detected in the apical portion of each group, whereas no significant difference was detected between groups in other portions. No statistical difference was found between canals with different tapers.

Last May, the New York State Dental Association and the New York State Dental Foundation convened the first "Oral Health Stakeholders' Summit on the Future of Special Needs Dentistry, Hospital Dentistry and Dental Education." The summit was chaired by David J. Miller, then NYSDA President Elect, and Carl H. Tegtmeier, then chair of the NYSDA Council on Dental Health Planning and Hospital Dentistry. It brought together experts, called to frame the issues and provide information necessary for a reasoned response. And it sought input from attendees to develop recommendations to ensure that patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as an aging population with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, have access to appropriate oral health care in the years ahead. Over 100 participants, representing dentistry, hospital training programs, third-party payers, state government offices and related patient support associations, attended the two-day event in Albany. They focused on the impact of reductions in funding, the transition of Medicaid services into a managed care model, a loss of service providers and the need for expanded training programs. They heard from speakers epresenting a broad spectrum of those involved in he oral health care of patients with intellectual and evelopmental disabilities, the Alzheimer's Association, dental educators and researchers, hospital dentistry and the benefits industry, whose presentations focused on a looming oral health crisis threatening access to dental care for patients with disabilities.
去年5月,纽约州牙科协会和纽约州牙科基金会召开了第一届“口腔健康利益相关者关于特殊需求牙科、医院牙科和牙科教育未来的峰会”。峰会由当时的NYSDA候任主席David J. Miller和当时的NYSDA牙科健康规划和医院牙科委员会主席Carl H. Tegtmeier主持。会议召集了专家,要求他们提出问题框架,并提供合理回应所需的信息。会议还向与会者征求意见,以制定建议,确保智力和发育障碍患者,以及老年痴呆症患者和老年痴呆症患者在未来几年能够获得适当的口腔保健。代表牙科、医院培训方案、第三方付款人、州政府办公室和相关患者支持协会的100多名与会者参加了在奥尔巴尼举行的为期两天的活动。他们关注资金减少的影响、医疗补助服务向管理式医疗模式的转变、服务提供者的流失以及扩大培训计划的需求。他们听取了代表智力和发育障碍患者口腔保健的广泛人士、阿尔茨海默氏症协会、牙科教育工作者和研究人员、医院牙科和福利行业的发言者的发言,他们的发言重点是迫在眉睫的口腔健康危机威胁到残疾患者获得牙科保健的机会。

Endodontic retreatment often involves remaking restorations. The total cost may steer the treatment towards surgery. The aim of this study was to retrospectively record the reasons for performing apical surgery in an economically deprived patient population. The clinical reasons (59%) for apical surgery were most common, but the nonclinical (financial) reasons (41%) emerged as a major cause. The finding that 41% of the apicoectomies were performed because of nonclinical constraints is a high figure and may not reflect the situation generally. Still, economic factors potentially play a major role in the selection of surgical versus nonsurgical endodontic retreatment.
