Sarah Ellison, by email: Currently there are 39,447 registered dentists contributing over £30 million to the total operating income of the GDC. The announced increase will raise this figure by £18 million to a total of £48 million. So where does this money go? According to the GDC’s Annual Report 2012, their audited accounts show the vast majority is spent on staff costs (>£11 million) and legal and professional fees (>£10 million). So in reality, dentists are paying the salaries of the GDC members in order that they can help the public pursue claims against themselves. Given the ever-increasing trend in litigation, it is unsurprising that claims against dentists rose by 31% in 2011-12 and by 100% in the past five years. Comparing this to our medical colleagues, who also have seen a 100% complaints rise in the same time period, how is it that the General Medical Council (GMC) has managed to keep their AFR at £390, with those earning less than a £31,000 threshold receiving a 50% reduction in their ARF? The GMC have even been able to freeze or reduce fees by finding more efficient ways to deliver their service including the cost saving ebilling. Surely it would be fairest if the GDC took a leaf out of the book of the indemnity companies who base their fees on the number of days a dentist works, in which discipline and modify these when a dentist is on maternity or long-term sick leave. This proportions the cost of indemnity directly to the risk of complaints and subsequent financial loss to the indemnity company.
Sarah Ellison，通过电子邮件:目前有39,447名注册牙医为GDC的总营业收入贡献了超过3000万英镑。宣布的加薪将使这一数字增加1800万英镑，达到4800万英镑。那么这些钱都去了哪里呢?根据GDC的2012年年度报告，他们的审计账目显示，大部分费用用于员工成本(1100万英镑)和法律和专业费用(1000万英镑)。所以在现实中，牙医支付GDC成员的工资是为了让他们能够帮助公众对自己提出索赔。鉴于诉讼不断增加的趋势，对牙医的索赔在2011-12年度增长了31%，在过去的五年里增长了100%，这并不奇怪。与我们的医学同事相比，他们在同一时期也看到了100%的投诉上升，为什么总医学委员会(GMC)设法将他们的AFR保持在390英镑，而那些收入低于31,000英镑门槛的人的ARF减少了50% ?GMC甚至能够通过寻找更有效的方式来提供服务，包括节省成本的电子账单，从而冻结或降低费用。当然，如果GDC向那些基于牙医工作天数收取费用的赔偿公司学习，并在牙医休产假或长期病假时调整这些费用，这将是最公平的。这种比例的赔偿成本直接与投诉的风险和随后的赔偿公司的经济损失有关。

Dr Janine Brooks, Associate Director for Dentistry at the National Clinical Assessment Service, was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire in the 2007 New Year’s Honours, in recognition of services to dentistry. Dr Brooks worked in Community Dental Services for 20 years, having graduated from Birmingham Dental School in 1983. She has been a head of service for 17 years, fi rst as District Dental Offi cer and then as Clinical Director, most recently in South Warwickshire. Her clinical area was special needs adults and general anaesthesia. In addition she has considerable experience in general management, training, project management, confi dentiality and data protection. More space for dental students The General Dental Council (GDC) is checking how much continuing professional development (CPD) dentists have completed. Dentists who fi rst registered with the Council between 1 January 1990 and 31 December 2001 (and were on the register at 31 December 2001) should now have met the GDC’s CPD requirements. These dentists have until 8 March to let the GDC know the hours they have done in 2006, and to confi rm their total for the whole fi ve-year cycle. The Council adds that in spring 2007 it will also select a random sample of this group and seek proof of the CPD they have completed over the previous fi ve years. If a dentist has not completed the minimum 250 hour requirement, they face being removed from the GDC’s registers, losing their right to practise in the UK. After the March deadline, the Council will get in touch with any dentists this applies to and explain the urgent steps they must take to avoid losing their registration. Dentists who fi rst registered with the Council in other years (apart from 2006), and are part-way through a CPD cycle, have also been sent CPD annual returns which are to be returned by March.

If biofilm control is considered insufficient, the integrity of a fissure sealant should be monitored until more is known of the 'trampoline' effect (the sealant may not be able to resist occlusal forces when there is softened dentine beneath the weakened enamel).

Dental pulp cells can protect the retina Researchers at the University of Birmingham have discovered that stem cells isolated from the teeth, dental pulp stem cells (DPSC), can protect retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from death following injury and promote regeneration of their axons along the optic nerve. RGC loss is the leading cause of blindness and can arise through traumatic injury or degenerative diseases such as glaucoma.1
