“TGBSL” explained here
1) Dental implant with slow-release drug reservoir reduces infection risk
Scientists have developed a dental implant containing a reservoir for the slow release of drugs. Laboratory tests in which the reservoir slowly released a strong antimicrobial agent showed that the new implant can prevent and eliminate bacterial biofilms – a major cause of infection associated with dental implants.
2) Chewing your food could protect against infection
Researchers have found that chewing food prompts the release of an immune cell that can protect against infection.
3) Fluoride Rinse and Varnish Equally Effective
Fluoride varnish and fluoride mouthwash appear equally effective in a head-to-head trial and in a review of the literature. The finding shows that practitioners have options in finding the best way to deliver the caries-fighting mineral to patients at high risk for the condition. Although the efficacy of fluoride is well established, much remains unknown about the relative merits of various application methods.
