Stabilized Stannous Fluoride
Dentifrices are toothpastes of choice:
ME Dental Consensus
By Dental Tribune MEA / CAPPmea
DUBAI, UAE: On 02-03 November
2017, a selected panel of ME elite dental academicians gathered for a twoday scientific consensus to discuss
recommendations for best choice
of toothpaste. This unique assembly took place at The Address Hotel,
Dubai Marina, UAE. The results were
presented live on stage at the 9th
Dental Facial Cosmetic International
Conference which took place at ICH
in Dubai Festival City on 03-04 November 2017.
The consensus was led by Professor
Hien Chi Ngo, Dean of College of
Dental Medicine of the University
of Sharjah and Dr. Elias Berdouses,
Board Member of Emirates Pediatric Dental Club. The consensus was
achieved by the Delphi methodology (A structured survey approach
conducted in multiple rounds of
questionnaires and answers. It is regarded as a systematic, interactive
forecasting method relying on a
group panel of experts1), resulting in
an unbiased evidence based conclusion on the best type of toothpaste
available. The panel of experts included:
Introduction
An ideal toothpaste should protect
gums, teeth and the oral environment with minimal side effects and
environmental impacts. In addition
to the body of evidence supporting fluoride effectiveness, evidence
suggests that Stabilized Stannous
Fluoride, with verified bio-availability, has additional benefits. In
association with sustained patient
compliance (daily use) and effective
mechanical debridement; this group
recommends the following:
Gum Health
There is emerging scientific evidence
supporting the anti-inflammatory
action of Stabilized Stannous Fluoride. In Patients with gingivitis,
which can predispose to periodontitis, there is evidence that a toothpaste with Stabilized Stannous Fluoride has distinctive advantages in
restoring and maintaining gingival
health by reducing plaque and calculus deposition.
Tooth Health
There is strong evidence to support
that Stabilized Stannous Fluoride is
superior to other forms of fluorides
in anti-bacterial efficacy and the reduction in acidogenicity of plaque.
Stabilized Stannous Fluoride based
toothpaste has been found to be effective in managing dental caries. A
Stabilized Stannous Fluoride based
toothpaste, in addition to addressing
all etiological factors helps reduce
progression of erosive tooth wear.
There is strong evidence to support
that the use of Stabilised Stannous
Fluoride toothpaste is effective in reducing dentine hypersensitivity.
General
Based on the recommendation of
the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (2009), the dosage
for toothpaste for children is twice
daily: Up to 2 years of age: a pea size
of 500ppm, 2 to 6 years of age: a pea
size 1000ppm and 6 years and above
1450ppm fluoride: 1-2cm. Where
higher concentrations of Fluoride
toothpastes are not available, larger
amounts and longer exposure to
toothpaste may be recommended
based on individual needs. It is recognized that patients with fixed
orthodontic appliances may have
an increased risk of gingival inflammation and dental caries. We recommend further scientific studies
in the areas of peri-implantitis, root
caries and dentine erosion. To increase compliance, oral health care
providers should consider the effectiveness of products and patient
specific needs regarding age, medical conditions, taste and texture. In
conclusion, based on current literature we recommend that a Stabilized
Stannous Fluoride based toothpaste
is the toothpaste of choice.2
Over the two days, the consensus
culminated in the above recommendations which are agreed and signed
off the by expert panel:

New campaign focuses on oral health
during pregnancy
By DTI
BRUSSELS, Belgium: The European
Federation of Periodontology (EFP)
and Oral-B have launched a campaign to highlight the importance
of oral health for pregnant women
and its possible impact on delivery.
The Europe-wide Oral Health and
Pregnancy initiative aims to help address the problem of pregnancy gingivitis and to bring awareness and
advice based on the latest scientific
evidence to health professionals and
women.
The core element of the Oral Health
and Pregnancy initiative is a newly
created dedicated web portal. It provides scientific reports, guidelines
for oral and other health professionals, brochures, practical recommendations for women, a bibliography,
infographics, videos, news items,
features, and other educational content—all of which can be accessed
free.
“Women’s oral health during pregnancy is important, not only for its
possible impact on delivery—and
thus the possibility of preventing
complications—but also for the
short- and long-term oral health
of pregnant women themselves,”
said coordinator of the Oral Health
and Pregnancy project Dr. Mariano
Sanz, who is Professor and Chair of
Periodontology at the Complutense
University of Madrid in Spain. “This
is the key message we would like to
give both to health professionals and
to women themselves.”
the publication of four fully referenced scientific papers specially
written for the initiative. According
to the EFP, the articles cover the importance of women’s oral health during pregnancy, the biological mechanisms between periodontal disease
and pregnancy (a narrative review of
studies and a systematic review and
meta-analysis), and the importance
of treating periodontal disease during pregnancy.
From a scientific perspective, the
main contribution of the portal is
“By raising awareness about oral
health risks during pregnancy and
offering simple solutions, we hope
to encourage more women to seek
professional dental care and to improve their at-home oral health care
while expecting,” said Dr. Anja Rist,
professional and scientific relations
manager for oral care for Europe, the
Middle East and Africa at Procter &
Gamble, owner of the Oral-B brand.

devices. Our teeth whitening kits
are designed to be used alongside
our entire new range of Professional
White products which offer a solution for every oral hygiene concern,
be that teeth sensitivity, gingivitis,
discoloration and enamel protection. We can’t wait to make these
products available in the Middle East
and were delighted to reveal them
first at the Dubai Dental Show and
then at the Dubai Beauty Show.”
This year Beverly Hills Formula focused on increasing their brand presence throughout the Middle East by
attending several industry events,
including the International Dental
Conference and Arab Dental Exhibition (AEEDC) and BeautyWorld.
The Dubai International Convention
and Exhibition Centre was the stage
for Beverly Hills Formula’s launch of
their latest Professional White oral
hygiene range which were showcased at AEEDC and have since been
highly recognized as the premium
professional products by leading industry figures. Dr. Eyass Jebrin, periodontist at the Dental Studio in Dubai
an Clinica Joelle in Abu Dhabi met up
with the Beverly Hills team at AEEDC
where he got chance to try their latest Professional White range before it
was launched on the market.
Dr. Jebrin, who personally uses and
recommends Beverly Hills Formula
products said. “I’ve been using the
Black Pearl toothpaste and Fresh
Pearl mouthwash on a daily basis
and I love its clean and fresh feeling
after each use with its mild fresh
taste as I don’t like strong flavors
found in other brands.
“When I started using the Perfect
White Black toothpaste and latterly
the Black Pearl toothpaste I noticed
ASF Jordan
that my teeth have less stains than
before and it has reduced the need
for polishing my teeth time after
time. The toothpaste ingredients
are low in abrasives and I think that
the activated charcoal plays an important role in removing the stains
without harming the enamel.”
Beverly Hills Formula Professional
White range includes, Black Pearl
whitening toothpaste, Pink Pearl
Sensitive whitening toothpaste and
Fresh Pearl mouthwash. Another innovative product within the range
includes Precious Pearl Enamel remineralizing serum which won the
Iran BHF Stand
award for the Best New Oral Product
in this year’s Pure Beauty Awards,
London.
Beverly Hills Formula also launched
the new Professional White whitening kits at the Dubai Beauty Show
in May hosted by Enterprise Ireland. Attending the event, Chris
Dodd, CEO of Beverly Hills Formula
explained that the kits had been in
development for over two years,
ensuring only the highest quality
ingredients were included to actively
achieve a whiter, brighter, healthy
smile. The main active ingredient is
PAP - Phthalimido-Peroxy-Caproic
Acid, a non-peroxide teeth whitening ingredient which breaks down
discolorations on the teeth without affecting the tooth structure.
Additionally, PAP supports dental
hygiene and health by eradicating
bacteria which can harm to teeth.
Since PAP is only active on the tooth
surface, no irritation is caused to the
gums and mucous membranes in
the mouth.
Chris Dodd added: “Our teeth whitening kits are something we are really excited about because it’s an
expansion to our whitening toothpastes and mouthwash in to new
Beverly Hills Formula were also present at the annual Summer Sale held

more than a 2,000 guests visited the
event where Beverly Hills Formula
presented Perfect White Gold as well
as Perfect White Black toothpastes,
two of their flagship products from
their original Perfect White range.
Also in July, Beverly Hills Formula
took part in the Amman Street Fashion event in Jordan which exhibited a wide selection of fashion and
beauty products and was attended

Dental filling failure
linked to smoking,
drinking and genetics
By DTI
PITTSBURGH, U.S.: For a long time
in dentistry, filling materials have
been a topic of intense interest and
now new research out of the U.S. and
Brazil has added to the discussion.
The study found that not only smoking and drinking but also a patient’s
genetics can negatively affect the
success of a filling, suggesting that
personalized dental treatment could
lead to improved outcomes.
The researchers, from the University
of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in the U.S. and the University of
Pernambuco’s dental school in Brazil, investigated a large number of
dental records from the Pittsburgh
school’s Dental Registry and DNA
Repository, which contains information on patient fillings and rates of
failure up to five years after the restorative procedures. It also contains
information on patient lifestyles,
including smoking and drinking
habits, and a DNA sample from each
patient, allowing the team to investigate whether patient lifestyle and
genetic factors may affect the failure
rate of composite fillings.
The team found that, within two
years of the procedure, fillings failed
more often in patients who drank
alcohol, and the overall filling failure
rate was higher in men who smoked.
Furthermore, a difference in the
gene for matrix metalloproteinase
(MMP2), an enzyme found in teeth,
was linked to increased filling failure.
The researchers then hypothesized
that MMP2 might be able to degrade
the bond between the filling and the
tooth surface and potentially lead to
failure. However, according to the researchers, more investigation needs
to be done before any definitive conclusions can be drawn.
In an interesting turn in the debate
between amalgam and composite
fillings, it was found that there were
no major differences between patients receiving either material in
terms of filling failure rates. The researchers suggested that this shows
composite fillings are at least as durable as amalgam fillings and offer
a viable alternative with no toxic
ingredients.
“A better understanding of individual susceptibility to dental disease and
variation in treatment outcomes
will allow the dental field to move
forward,” said lead author Prof. Alexandre Vieira, from the Pittsburgh
dental school’s Department of Oral
Biology. “In the future, genetic information may be used to personalize dental treatments and enhance
treatment outcomes.”
The study, titled “A pragmatic study
shows failure of dental composite
fillings is genetically determined: A
contribution to the discussion on
dental amalgams,” was published
on Nov. 6 in the open-access journal
Frontiers in Medicine.
