This year gone marks the eightieth anniversary of Operation Market Garden; the biggest airborne operation in military history, which took place in September 1944 in occupied Holland. Unfortunately, the operation was a failure. The last objective - the bridge at Arnhem - could not be reached. This battle became known to the general public through the film A bridge too far. Over the years, many books have been published about it, but the role of the Army Dental (AD) Corps has never been described. Within the 1st British Airborne Division, one dentist served in each brigade. A total of three dentists took part in the battle. They not only had a role in providing dental care, but also served as anaesthetists within the Royal Army Medical Corps. All three of them were taken as a prisoner of war but survived. Not only did these dentists render their services, but so did the entire AD Corps. For their war time service, the AD Corps were awarded the regimental honour of ‘Royal''.

Background Botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections are the most widely used aesthetic facial treatments and dental professionals are well-positioned to provide them due to their knowledge of facial anatomy. Objectives To study the knowledge, types of treatment, facilitators and barriers that dental professionals have in providing botulinum toxin and dermal filler management in United Kingdom dental practice. Methods A questionnaire was developed, and after piloting, was distributed through an email link via the British Association of Dental Therapists and the chief investigator''s personal network of dental professionals from different dental backgrounds and with varying scopes of practice. A sample size of 100 respondents to the questionnaire was anticipated. Results A total of 110 questionnaires were returned. In total, 47 (43%) of 110 participants were trained in botulinum toxin and dermal filler management. Of those 47 participants, currently only 22 were actively offering these treatments. Of those, 100% offered treatment for facial wrinkles, 73% for lip augmentation and 50% for chin and cheek enhancement. Training courses were of short duration of between 1-4 days. Also, 46% of trained participants identified a lack of confidence in managing complications. Conclusions The study revealed a significant interest among dental professionals in offering botulinum toxin and dermal filler treatments, which could represent a potential growth area for the dental profession. However, concerns were raised about the adequacy of hands-on training provided through short courses, which highlighted the need for more comprehensive and hands-on training courses.

Introduction The number of people seeking dental tourism increased in recent years and has peaked in popularity with young people following a wave of viral social media content. Dental professionals have expressed their concern about the short- and long-term consequences. This study aimed to explore the contemporary United Kingdom (UK) media narrative toward dental tourism. Methods Newspaper articles were identified using the LexisNexis database. The ten most popular newspapers in the UK were used for the search strategy. Data were analysed using framework analysis. The findings are presented as descriptive and analytical themes. Findings The search strategy identified 201 newspaper articles related to dental tourism. A total of 131 articles were included in the analysis. Five key themes were identified. The themes included: push and pull factors reported to lead to seeking dentistry abroad; patient-reported outcomes and experiences; warnings from dental professionals; amplifying social media hype; and media shaming and stigmatising. Conclusions Social media viral health trends were a means of distributing health (dis/mis)information. The perspectives of social media were amplified by the UK press. Tabloids often stigmatised people who had dentistry abroad.
