American Friends of Dental Volunteers for Israel (AFDVI), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, announced today a charity event featuring two of the stars of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.  “Meet the Maisels: Behind the Scenes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” will be held at 7:30PM on Sunday, December 1, 2019 in the Septodont Lecture Hall of New York University’s College of Dentistry.  Sponsored by Henry Schein, Inc., Septodont, I Fish Haines Alaska and Glacier View Lodge, Practice Perfect Systems, Drs. Douglas and Margo Woll and others, the event will benefit the Dental Volunteers for Israel (DVI) Trudi Birger Clinic in Jerusalem.

The DVI Clinic is the largest free dental clinic in Israel, offering state-of-the-art dental treatment to Jerusalem’s underserved and special needs children and at-risk youth, ages 4 to 26, and needy seniors, aged 65 and older, including Holocaust survivors,.  Each year more than 100 volunteer dentists treat an average of 2,700 children and young adults and provide preliminary dental care to over 100 seniors receiving dentures.

Actors Michael Zegen (Joel Maisel) and Caroline Aaron (Joel’s mother Shirley Maisel) will share their experiences on the set of the Amazon Original Series which has won, among other awards, the 2018 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series and the 2018 Golden Globe for Best Television Series-Musical or Comedy.  Mr. Zegen and Ms. Aaron won the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

“In 1958 New York, Midge Maisel's life is on track - husband, kids, and elegant Yom Kippur dinners in their Upper West Side apartment.  But when her life takes a surprise turn, she has to quickly decide what else she's good at - and going from housewife to stand-up comic is a wild choice to everyone but her.”

Ms. Sara Lee Kessler, Anchor at NBC News Radio and 77 WABC, will be the moderator for the evening.

“We are thrilled to be able to present such a fun and interesting program for friends from around the world who support our work with the DVI Clinic, and for the new friends we are likely to make as fans of the actors and the show,” said Dr. Scott Dubowsky, President of AFDVI and DVI Clinic volunteer.  “I think we all secretly dream of being on the set of a television show or movie to see how everything comes together.  We can’t wait to hear from Michael and Caroline what exactly that’s like.”

About Dental Volunteers for Israel and the Trudi Birger Dental Clinic

Since its founding in 1980, Dental Volunteers for Israel has been providing free dental care to Jerusalem's most underprivileged children. At the state-of-the-art Trudi Birger Dental Clinic, children and young adults of all faiths, referred by the Department of Social Welfare and shelters, are treated by dentists from around the world. Volunteering services range from routine to complex dental procedures. DVI also runs a comprehensive preventative dental care program to help young patients develop good, long-term oral health habits. In 2016, DVI expanded to provide free dentures to needy seniors, including Holocaust survivors. This worldwide work is made possible not only by the dentists who come to Israel and donate their time and expertise, but also by businesses and individuals who donate supplies, equipment, and financial resources for DVI’s operating budget.

Although oral care is a key contributor to overall health, it is often considered an unaffordable luxury to underserved people who have little choice but to do without it. DVI treats thousands of children and youth and hundreds of seniors each year at the clinic, yet there are many more who need help.

DVI has won awards from the Mayor of Jerusalem, the Israel Ministry of Health, and the Movement for a Better Israel, which notably lauded DVI for encouraging brotherhood and tolerance between Jews and Arabs.

Ballaigues/Charlotte, October 30, 2019. Despite advancements made in oral health throughout the globe, the state of oral health in certain parts of the world remain sub-standard. In many developing countries, access to oral health care is limited and teeth are often left untreated or are extracted because of pain or discomfort.

Organizations like Project Somos, a Canadian based non-profit, work to improve the gap by educating kids and families in the Tecpán area of Guatemala about the importance of nutrition, overall hygiene as well as dental hygiene. 

Sponsored by Dentsply Sirona, more than 40 kids, 3 to 8 years old, received dental care during the 2-day dental mission held on September 25 and October 2 at the Maxillofacial Centre in Antigua, Guatemala. 

For most, the trip to the dentist would be their first, since they come from impoverished areas where running water or even electricity is scarce.

“These are children who live in homes similar to shelters with dirt floors, so their hygiene isn’t up to the same standards that we are accustomed to,” said Julien Dumont, Global Development Manager at Project Somos.

Guatemala is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere with high rates of malnutrition and infant mortality.^1,2About half of children under five suffer from stunted growth and poor health due to chronic malnutrition, according to the World Food Programme.³

In indigenous communities near Project Somos, preventive dental care is not something most can afford. By the time they go to the dentist, it’s usually too late.

“In our learning village, we give each kid a toothbrush and toothpaste and we have them brush their teeth after every meal – we build this kind of habit so it becomes automatic for them,” said Julien Dumont. 

A trip to the dentist

On site were three dentists, Dr. Luis Ramirez, DDS, owner of the Maxillofacial Centre, Dr. Kenneth Pineda, member of the San Carlos University Council in Guatemala City - Faculty of Dentistry, Dr. Ana Lucrecia Arias Ramirez, owner of Odontologia Clinica Integral Dra., and three nurses and an assistant.

All patients received a panoramic X-ray or OPT, and a clinical examination to determine the rate of decayed, missing or filled teeth.

While few needed tooth extractions, dental decay was the most frequent diagnosis – the main reason being lack of oral hygiene, bad eating habits and little to no education, according to Dr. Ramirez. Overall, most of the children were treated for cavities with fillings, some were given fluoride applications, and some received root canal treatments.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to help support Project Somos and the amazing work they are doing for children and families who desperately need oral care in this part of Guatemala,” said Daniel Nobs, Sr. Clinical Education Manager, Consumables, Dentsply Sirona. “As a company, it is our responsibility to improve access to oral health care and reduce disparities in oral health.”

To help ease any anxiety, while performing the examination, the dentists would tell each child what they were doing and demonstrate how to properly brush their teeth.

“More often than not, because of lack of resources and education, people here go to the dentist when there is no other option than extraction,” said Julien Dumont. “These two days have helped build a new belief around visiting the dentist and reinforced the importance of daily dental hygiene not only for the kids but also for their families and the rest of the community.”

Dr. Benjamin Kaffenberger examines a patient at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. He led a study that found healthy lifestyle changes, such as practicing good dental hygiene and eating fruit every day, may help improve psoriasis symptoms.

A new study by researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is giving insight into certain lifestyle choices that may prevent or improve psoriasis, helping experts better understand what triggers the disease.

Dental health and diet may have an impact on the development and severity of psoriasis, according to a study by dermatologists at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes thick, itchy patches of red skin with silvery scales and affects more than 8 million Americans.

The study found psoriasis patients who rated their gum health as poor or very poor exhibited significantly more severe psoriasis symptoms than those with healthy gums. Conversely, patients who reported consuming fresh fruit at least once a day experienced milder psoriasis symptoms. The study was published in the Dermatology Online Journal.

“Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease so although it often presents as red, scaly patches on the skin, we know that the causes and consequences are more than skin deep,” said Dr. Benjamin Kaffenberger, a dermatologist at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center who led the study.

Psoriasis, which can last a lifetime, is caused by a problem with the immune system. In a process called cell turnover, skin cells that grow deep in the skin rise to the surface. Normally this takes a month but with psoriasis, it happens in just a few days because the cells rise too quickly. Treatments include creams, medicines and ultraviolet light therapy.

“We’re looking for some sort of trigger that sets off the immune system. Because strep throat is one of the known triggers and the microbiome of bacteria in the mouth is much more complex, that became our starting point,” said Kaffenberger, who is also an associate professor in Ohio State's College of Medicine. “We wondered if poor dental health could be a risk factor for psoriasis.”

Researchers created a specially designed lifestyle and diet questionnaire that was administered to 265 patients at Ohio State’s dermatology clinics. The study surveyed 100 patients with psoriasis and 165 without the disease. The study showed poor dental and oral health, in particular gum pain, was associated with those who had psoriasis.

“Patients who had more severe psoriasis were more likely to report that their gums were in worse condition than patients who didn’t have mild to moderate psoriasis in the first place,” Kaffenberger said. “And patients who had higher fruit consumption reported less significant psoriasis, indicating fruit and potentially fresh foods may be an associated protective factor.”

The study also reinforced data from previous studies that found family history of psoriasis, smoking and obesity were significant predictors of psoriasis.

Kaffenberger hopes to expand the study outside Ohio State’s dermatology clinics and survey thousands of psoriasis patients with varying degrees of the disease. While Kaffenberger noted that the study’s results were very preliminary, he believes having dermatologists screen for dental health and counsel psoriasis patients for improved dietary health may help them.

“Psoriasis is a chronic disease and can be so severe that it covers the entire body. Patients ask us ‘If I change my diet, will I get rid of this disease?’ That’s what really drove the onset of this study – to see what health and lifestyle changes patients could make,” Kaffenberger said. “The key is to protect your gums and your mouth by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing. Lifestyle changes include quitting smoking, avoiding high alcohol consumption and properly managing diabetes.”

The American College of Prosthodontists' 2019 Annual Session will be in Miami Beach Oct. 30-Nov. 2

The 2019 Annual Session of the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP) is taking place in Miami from Oct. 30 to Nov. 2. The premier prosthodontic meeting of the year will draw more than 1,000 specialists in prosthetic dentistry and advanced dental technology, including educators, private practitioners, and industry leaders.

"We are very excited to host our meeting in the bright and vibrant city of Miami," said ACP President Nadim Z. Baba, DMD, MSD, FACP. "To be in a city so full of life, while focusing on the advancements that improve people's lives through prosthodontics, makes Miami a perfect fit for the ACP's 49th Annual Session."

Led by scientific program chair Carlo Ercoli, DDS, MBA, FACP, and ACP President Dr. Nadim Z. Baba, this year's Annual Session is focused on the forces that are driving the prosthodontic specialty forward. Speakers will describe how advances in technology and biology are allowing practitioners to avoid complications, achieve superior esthetics, and ultimately improve patient care.

"A lineup of world-class speakers will detail the latest evidence on ceramic restorations, diagnosis with advanced digital imaging, and state-of-the-art digital workflows," said Dr. Ercoli. "In complex cases where biology, technology, and evidence-based treatment planning come together, prosthodontists are the specialists at the center of patient care."

A prosthodontist is a dental specialist focused on the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth, and other oral or facial issues.  They work to restore optimum appearance and function to your smile through treatments like implants, dentures and veneers, all the way to full mouth and jaw reconstructions.

The small, swift and clever Planmeca Compact™ i3 dental care unit is a smart choice for any dentist looking for a space-saving and functional solution. Combining great ergonomics, a smooth workflow and ease of use, this truly flexible unit allows both right and left-handed dental professionals to work comfortably in any position.

Planmeca Compact™ i is Planmeca’s most widely sold dental unit range with over 50,000 deliveries to dental clinics around the world. The tried, tested and proven product line is now growing with a new swift and small member to meet the needs of all dental professionals, but especially those of large clinics and dental chains.

The flexible movement range of the unit’s delivery arm brings both ergonomic and space-saving benefits to dental clinics. Planmeca Compact i3 can be switched from right to left-hand use in just 10 seconds simply by moving the instrument console − without having to move the operating light. This makes it a practical solution for all clinics where several dentists use the same dental unit and space is limited.

Due to its slim design, Planmeca Compact i3 fits into any clinic layout. With plenty of working space around it, the unit allows the dental team to work comfortably whether sitting or standing. The small instrument console can be positioned above the patient, making it easier to maintain an ergonomic position throughout the day. The unit’s swivel function can be used to make further fine adjustments according to one’s preferences. The unit is suited for both two and four-handed working techniques.

Designed to simplify everyday dentistry, Planmeca Compact i3 is both easy to learn and easy to use. The intuitive touch panel guides the user in their preferred language, and the simplicity of the unit’s design makes external infection control procedures easy and straightforward to perform. The unit can also be customised to individual preferences and upgraded with the features of one’s choice, such as an integrated intraoral scanner.

To fit the needs of large clinics, the one-of-a-kind Planmeca PlanID™ sign-in system allows dentists to access their personal settings instantly from any dental unit with a simple flash of a card. This helps clinics utilise their equipment flexibly, since dental units no longer need to be assigned to specific users. All usage information is stored in the Planmeca Romexis® software – this way, large clinics and chains can benefit from knowing when, how and by whom the unit has been used.

“We believe that great ergonomics, ease of use and a smooth workflow should be necessity, not a luxury. Just like all our dental unit models, the new Planmeca Compact i3 offers all these advantages and more,” says Jukka Kanerva, Vice President for Planmeca’s Dental Care Units & CAD/CAM division.
